MB Os NEGRO IW BENEFIT SOUTH Georgia Jurist Declares Their Going Is First Rays of Dawn of a Better Day ATHENS, Sept. 14. (By the Asoeiated Press.) —Negro migra tion to Northern states was liken ed to “the first pale rays of the dawn of a better day” for the South by Judge Blanton Fortson, Western Georgia judicial circuit, in an address prepared for delivery to members of the Eighth and Ninth Congressional District Press associations, in joint session here today. “The fundamental reason for the negro migration is the restriction on Southern European immigra tion,” said the jurist. “ These im migrants have for a generation constituted the unskilled labor sup ply of the North. Fearing, be cause of their inability to be as similated by us, for the safety of our institutions, congress has at last taken measures reducing the number of these people to be ad mitted. “Therefore, there exists a labor shortage in all industrial centers, and it 1 is to fill this shortage that the negro is going North. Many influences are and will be brought to bear upon congress to let down the bars of this, horde. I ask you, gentlemen, not only to oppose this but to urge even more restrictions. These* immigrants frequently con stitute the worst elements in their respective countries. They have no knowledge or smypathy for our institutions. They create disorder and almost are impossible to as similate. “Understand me, I am speaking of the Southern European— not the Northern races. The latter are always welcome here. But the Southern European, whether he is superior or inferior, it not like us, and I repeat, he should be kept out.

IIW CHARGE FUNDS MEBEBFOMLT Union Officials Declare Organ ized Industry in Collection of Funds Exists in America NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Collec tion of funds from American peo ple of high and low degree for the promotion of social, ecnomical and political revolution has become an organzed industry in the last two years, it is charged by the United Mine Workers of America in the fourth article of a series which purports to be an expose of a far reaching plot to spread the dicta , torship of the Communist Interna tional at Moscow over this con tinent. Laborers, society leaders, school teachers and well-meaning philan thropists, ignorant of the menace they are promoting add millions of dollars annually to the war-chest of the underground workers for revolution in America, it is charg ed. Other millions are described as streaming jn from Moscow, I Berlin and Stockholm to make a | total impossible of estimate. ‘‘The United Mine Workers ; learn from an authoritive source,” | says the author of the expose, I ‘‘that the money from abroad is' coming in through the usual inter national banking channels and that it is distributed to the accounts of various individuals in different banks after it reaches this coun try.” Capture of the miner’s union is I alleged to be the first aim of Com- munist agents in this country, as a step toward establishment of the “one big union” principle in all industrial labor groups. After that nationalization of coal mines un der the soviet form of rule as a preliminary to'nationalization of other industries; then forcible overthrow of the governments existing in the United States and Canada, and establishment of Communism after the Moscow pattern.
