The New York Times Sunday
crirried.an article which .shows ac-,
Cofdbi^'to investigations made by
tnV National Industrial Conference
Board. 100,000 negroes have i
gfated from the southern stai
anring the past • .several mont
and have gone to the industrial
centers of the east, north and
tvest to live.
This report also shows that la
bor agents have been active and
by this means most of th? negroes
have been lured from their homes
in the South. It i# also pointed
out that the exodus is not so great
as a similar one in 1016 and 1017.
Some of the problems the migra
tion is causing are also outlined.
The Times article follows:
“The migration of the negro
workers from the Southern States
to the industrial states and cities
of the north has been looked into
by the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, 10 East Thirty-ninth
the last two- years also have
wrought considerable hardship.
“On the other hand/' the state
ment continues, ‘‘the influx ot ne
groes into northern communities
has brought with it some very def
inite problems, the first of which i*
the relation of the white and the
negTo races. /Observers of both
races, however, who have been in
cldse touch with the situation, be*
lieve that this is by no means an
insuperable problem. The so-call
ed pace riots which have occurred
in various places cannot be direct
ly traced to industrial rivalry. Ji:
fact, the contrary seems to be the
case. White and negro labor of
the same grade apparently work
together peacefully. There is
scarcely. more friction between
white and negro than there is be
tween native whites and immigrant
whites. The negro, only because
he is more easily designated,- be
comes a target for jealousy and
This movement has to a consid
erable extent beer, along almost
vertical lines/’ the statement says,
“negroes from Georgia and the
Caro Unas drifting north to the At
lantic seaboard states and New
Engl md; negroes from Alabama
and Mississippi and Tennessee
moving northward in the Middle
West States, and negroes from
Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas
finding netv homes in the states
further west.
“During 1916 and 1917, however,
there occurred a migratory move
ment of considerably larger pro
portions and one which was char
acterized by the hysteria and
group psychology native to the
race. Whole communities, entire
streets of people, and even church
congreagtions headed by their
pastors, moved north and located
ns units in the important industrial
centres. Altogether it is estimat
ed that about 409,000 negroes from
.the southern states migrated to tho
jn^^ingVtho years 1916 and
The present movement has not
reached these proportions; neither
iis it so spontaneous, nor charac
terized by the same psychology ns
the previous migration. It is esti
mated that in the last six months
approximately 100,000 negroes have
left-their-home*-ih-the south to
the* indus
trial, centers qL the. north. The
present movement is almost whol
ly industrial, and has been to a
considerable extent induced by the
shortage of common labor in* the
north.
FIND PROBLEM
IN HOUSING
“The housing problem, however,
is more real and most northern
cities have made no provision what
ever for a negro population, which,
true to the instincts of any race,
likes tp congregate in districts by
itself. Even in this respect, how
ever^ the negro ifleots with less
opposition from persons of his own
labor status than from whites of
th f t "JMncwhat hip her-labor grades-
When it comr a to the efficiency
of tre negro workman, opinions dif-
fer. A large employer writes as
follows of the negro workman: ‘We
havo employed negroes in our shops
for a great many years. In look
ing pack over their service record
-^•e find continuous service records
of five years, ten years, fifteen
years, twenty years, twenty-five
jjrears, and even thirty years,
labor Agents
KEPT BUSY
“Two methods' have been used in
the main: First, employers have
sent labor agenta into the southern
states, who, in turn, have employed
local agents for the purpose of en
couraging negroes to move north-
ic negroes have faithfully, loy
ally and honestly performed the
service that was required of them.
I have found that with proper su-
pcnnsion the colored man,. could
not only do skilled work, but would
also maintain a standard of qual
ity and production as established dn
the shop.’ ■
“Another employer writes: ‘Wo
began employing negroes in con-
;„. r i ,t)lo „. “umber as recently as
1918. We have found them de
pendable and punctual. They Jose
no more time because of sickness
—in fdet. not as much—as the Av
erage white worker. They arc
obedient, dutiful and industrious
in every sense of the word. Wo
are convinced that he has the mak-
mg of a man just the same as the
average white man has, if ho, is
properly treated.’
the other hand, some em
ployers have had an unsatisfactory
experience. A large eastern iron
and steel establishment finds the
negroes unsteady and unreliable,
especially those without families.
It reports that ‘if they have wwck-
ed a few days, they-lay off and
ward with the lure of free trans-,loaf until their money is exhaust*
portntion, steady employment and jed. They shift from phee tp place
nigh wages. The southern states on the slightest cause or pretext.’ ”
have’ restricted the activities of
these labor agents by placing large
license fees upon their activities
a;uJ in fining those Who attempted
to evade.' In other cases, agents
attempting to induce negroes to
leave have been driven out and
threatened- The second method
has been indirect employe solicita
tion by word qf mouth, or letter.

Advertised Goods Reach You

A big part of the cost of living today may be charged to lost mo
tion, to slow, slipshod distribution of goods, and to old-style,
wasteful selling methods. ; ' 7.7 L. \
For example, every year tons of
fruits and vegetables rot on the ground,
because it doesn’t pay tp pick them.
Discouraged growers plant less the
next season, and the supply of food is
reduced. Meanwhile, consumers in the
cities near by grumble over high
prices. Demand and supply are not
brought together.
Growers’ Exchange, is lower today
than it was ten years ago.
Contrast this with the handling of
oranges. $1,000000 a year is spent for
advertising by the co-operative asso
ciation of the California Fruit Grow
ers. A large sum; yet it is only about
one-fifth of a cerit per dozen—one-six
tieth of a cent for each orange sold.
i yei
campaign was launched the consump
tion of Californian oranges has dou
bled. The American consumer has been
taught by co-operative advertising to
eat nearly twice as many oranges as
before.
“Had the orange industry remained
on the old basis, Uiere would have been
no profit in growihg oranges. New
acreage would not have*been planted.
Old orchards would most surely have
been uprooted and other crops plant
ed.”
And this advertising has kept down
the cost of- oranges. To quote an offi
cial of the Exchange:
