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.

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.
