Boston Post.
 Within three years 5oOooo negroes will have migrated to Boston and Cambridge
 Thence they will be distributed all ovei New England.
 Many of these men and women will bt skilled laborers and they are prepared tc work cheaply.
 It is said by many colored men that the labor unions have been loath to ad. init them to the ranks of the unions.
 The negroes are willing and anxious to join the unions. but. If they are refused down nN.y go the price of labor.
 This exodus from the South to the North is an organized movement. Those who are coming simply await the word from ''the man in the North
 Preparations for receiving the first con signment are nearly all completed.
 This man in the North could in less than two weeks time supply the place of every man in Massachusetts who is at present on strike with colored labor.
 The capital behind this movement is almost unlimited; as fast as the negroes arrive in Cambridge they will be distrib- uted to self advantage throughout New England.
 A box manufacturer in Cambridge has already spoken for 100 women.
 The Rev. J. Henry Duckrey, pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, controls
  colored race to New England.
 He Is one of the leaders of his race in this country; he is a friend and political helper of Mayor McNamee of Cambridge. and is one of the trustees of the Cam bridge Public Library.
 The society he stands for Is called "The Northern, Eastern and Western Immi- grafton Society,"" having stations through out the South and in all of the princi- nal ;cities of the North.
 The purpose of the organization Is to depopulate the South of its colored in- habitants.
 Booker T. Washington Is opposed to the movement Mayor McNamee says: T stand ready to indorse anything with him to be a thoroughly intelligent con- scientious man and am certain that he would do nothing that would injure Cam bridge or New England"
 It Is authoritatively stated that the first contingent of negroes will arrive within the next fortnight There will be about 300 people.
 Before September 1t is predicted that 10000 negroes will have arrived in Bos- ton.
 These are a few facts concerning the huge movement that was started last year In the South. having for its object the complete assertion of the South by the colored population and their subse- quent migration to the North, especially Cambridge, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis.
 The Rev. Duckrey is the head of the movement and the wonderful organiza- ton which will accomplish the exodus is the result of his labor. Travelling through the South plans for the exodus were carefully but secretly made, and the vast horde of negroes stands ready to move
 Just how this movement will affect Bos- ton and vicinity Is a matter of conjec- ture The coming of so much unskilled labor may, many think. tend to fill up the charitable institutions of the city to their utmost capacity.
 Many think that the wages of the work ingman will be cut. On the other hand. the instigators of the movement claim that they are perfectly able to find em- ployment for all those coming and they are already able to show many requests for colored help which will be filled as soon as the first consignment arrives.
