THOUSANDS NEGROES
ARE MOVING NORTH
Thousands of negroes In the South,
alarmed by threats from Individuals
who purport to be members of the Ku
Klux Klan and discuraged by tbs
failure of summer crops, are migrating
to northern states, many of them trav
eling as far north as the Great Lakes
region. Farmers throogbout tbe South
i worried over the situation, and of
ficial! of the state departments of
labor and Industry are trying, but In
vain, to halt tbs exodus.
In Georgia, especially, the Intlala,
"K. K. K.” signed to threatening
tlces posted on trees and fences
causing a. northward 'movement
colored persons, and also drawing a
load J complaint from fermsrs. Soma]
farmers reported their labor force de
pleted almost 19 per ceat, while oth
ers wars left helpless.
Most of the notices warn the color-
one*. and usually there Is a hint as to
the location of plaees where work to
crops and are leaving In large i
here for northern places, railroad of
ficials report Some of the laborers
moving to s state only s few hun
dred miles farther north, but then
there are s few who have purchased
tickets to Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit,
Mich., and Philadelphia.
There are no indications that north
ern farmers are soliciting labor from
the South, It Is said, and indications
point out that the negroes are moving
only because of their failure to profit
by the summer's crop because.of tbe
boll weevil atad other pests.
