THE TALK OF THE DAY.

''One Of the serious elements in the negro prob
lem down home" said a young Southerner the
other day. and one entirely overlooked by North
erners is tho negro employment agency At my
home town in Virginia there are scores Of negroes
doing nothing. When YOU ask them TO work they

the employment agencies These are all headed Big
Wages In North and promise all sorts Of fabulous
amounts for domestic service. They won't go
North. but they won't work unless they think
they can get the wages promised in the posters
Another bad feature Is that many OF these employ
ment agencies are recruiting stations for the low
est dives>in some Of che Northern cities"
