STRESSES IMPORTANCE OF BUYINGCOAL NOW The importance of consumers im mediately purchasing and storing coal in anticipation of their fall and winter requirements is stressed by President W. A. Winburn, of thei Central of Georgia Railway, who has adressed a letter to the industries located along the lines of the Central. Information received by the railroad indicates that this matter has not been given attention by either large or small consumers, and unless im mediate steps are taken, Mr. Winburn believes, consumers are (confronted by the probability of a shortage of transportation and the possibility of a rise in price of coal. The letter follows: "May I direct your attention to the importance of consumers purchasing and storing coal now, in anticipation of their fall and winter requirements. If large consumers fail to do this, it is probable that they will experience difficulty in getting coal later in the season when the railroads are taxed with a movement of general traffic, even heavier than is the present re cord-breaking volumn. "The roads have taken every pos sible measure to provide adequate transportation, including vast pur chases of new equipment. Th#* Central of Georgia, for instance, is now receiving delivery of twenty new freight locomotives, and 500 new coal cars,. But with all this, indications point to a shortage of transportation this fall, unless steps are taken to move as much coal as possible during the remainder of the summer. "By laying in their coal supply now while there is plenty of transportation, coal consumers will avoid future in convenience and probable delay. Moreover if the demand for coal ex cedes the supply that can be trans ported in the fall months, the effect will probably be to increase the price of fuel. ‘•.The Central of Georgia is taking its own advice in this matter. By the first of September it will have "extraordinary storage’’ not less than 100,000 tons of coal, besides the reg lar storage in chutes and bins of 30,- 000 tons. By so doing it will release equipment for the use of its patrons that would otherwise be demanded by its own requirements. “The industries can, by purchasing and storing coal to the capacity now, aid business in general and serve the interest of the whole country." RACE PREJUDICE IS GROWING IN THE NORTHERN CITIES ATLANTA, Ga—'“Race prejudice against the negro is decidedly on the increase in the North, and at the same time is growing noticeably less in Georgia.’’ This statement was made today by T. J. Wooster, Jr., Secretary of the Georgia Committee on Race Relations, which organiza tion has interested itself actively since its organization in tracing cases of injustice to Georgia negroes and correcting them. Reports from Northern cities, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chi cago and Philadelphia show that in creased prejudice and an increasing number of clashes between whites and blacks have resulted from the migration of the Southern negro to the North. These reports particular ly show that the foreign element of the Northern cities hate the negro because of competition of labor and because the negroes are overflowing into the foreign quarters of the Northern industrial centers. The negro, the figures and reports show, is far better off in the indus trial centers of the South than he is in similar centers in the North, according to Mr Wooster. Race wars in the North have resulted in the death of more negroes than lynchings in the South ever have, and a survey of past years show a definite rela tionship between negro migration to northern centers and race wars in those centers.

Increasing by leaps and bounds, wages throughout America fast are approaching the peaks of 1920. The nation’s payrolls, lumped in a gigantic total, approach $1,200,000,000 a week. The army of workers, counting all heads, is nearly 42,500,000 strong. The pay of the men, women and children, on these rolls, averaged in all industries, is barely $1 a week less than it was at the height of the post-war boom. These estimates are made from official figures announced by the de partment of labor covering 2,250,000 employes of more than 6,000 estab lshments in 47 lines of endeavor. There is no such thing now as in voluntary idleness in the United States. The labor shortage feared alike by city manufacturer and rural farmer has become a reality. In the building trades this short age of labor has reached an acute stage and has resulted in stimulating wages to another spurt. Skilled me chanics in these trades now are making bigger wages than ever be fore. Plasterers, plumbers, bricklayers, ' carpenters, painters and some other skilled workmen have developed into $5,000 a year men in hundreds of cases, with $7,500 not uncommon as the annual earnings. The average wage reported to the bureau of labor for 2,500,000 workers —a little more than five per cent of all the wage earners in the United States, including salaried workers — was at the rate of about $1,400 an nually on the basis of May earnings. If that average is maintained for the other 95 per cent of the country’s employes the annual payroll totals the staggering sum of $59,500,000,000. That figure is not so high as the payroll of 1920 by about $1,500,000,- 000. During that busiest of all years in American history the total number and their earnings were $61,000,000,- 000.
