objections to the jobless man seeking
the manless job, especially when it has
held that jobless man up to the ridi-

large farms and of attracting immi-
grant settlers is likely to be enhanced.

The gist of much Northern comment
is expressed by the Dayton, O., News,
which admits that there is good deal
to be said on both sides of the ques-
tion as to whether it is better for the
colored man to leave the South. But
the only thing the South can consist
emily do to meet the competition of
the North in the matter of induce
ments to the Negro is to pay as good
wages and to furnish as good working
conditions as the Northern employer -
The dominant note in Negro COM
ment on the significance of the exodus
is emphasis upon the big opportunity
that has been opened to the colored
race. But bitterness is not absent. A

ROBBERS FACE BLACK
BUT HANDS WE'RE WHITE

Elizabeth, N. C.-If the man
who assaulted and robbed Mrs.
Frank G. Congleton, a white wo-
man of this town, of STOP on
Saturday night, November 25,
had been more careful in putting
on his disguise, it is quite pro-
bable that the Negroes here
would have received rough treat
from the white people. She was
robbed by a man with black
face but white hands.
Mrs. Congleton and husband
did not believe in banks and
their savings were carried by the
woman in wallet concealed in
her bosom. AS she was enroute
home about $50 that night the
highwayman met her and thrust
a pistol in her face, demanding
her money. From a pocket in
her blouse he secured 81, but ev-
identity having some knowledge
of the hiding place of her savings
he knocked her down, checked
her and tore from the inside of
her bodice and wallet with $685..
Mrs. Congleton didn't recog-
nize him, but she declared to the
authorities that while the mans
face was black his hands were
the hands of a white man.
The police put dogs on the mans
trail and he was tracked to the
Norfolk Southern depot, where
the trail was lost.

"To get a glimpse of the possibili-

these towns, save in some instances
in Birmingham, wages are too low,
housing conditions are poor, and the
advantages for recreation and pleas

Furthermore Mr.. Jefferson argues
that American employers can trust
Negro employees.
THE Negro represents the sanest
safest group-too safe, we think, some
times-in this country, and he has

ployers class have had their eyes

suits to begin with, the Negro in the
end would prove more tractable, and,
what is more important, more genu-
inely interested in the advancement
and prosperity of his employer"
Unforeseen, the way is opening for
the Negro to win a better place and
hold it on industrial and economic
grounds in this country In Europe,
too, the war has brought the blacks
of the British and French colonies to
the front, not merely as fighters but
"apt and tractable" industrial workers.

ATOBODY thought of predicting
N that war in Europe would ex-
tend itself into the Negro prob
cut off the supply of foreign migrant
labor. Now labor agents are repre-
senting that Northern industries can
use 100000 to 100000 colored la
borers the coming year. and evidences
of a large migration have already ac-
cumulated. 1t was reported to re-
cent Negro conference in Washington
that more than 100000 Negroes had
come North in the last six months.
Savannah alone is said to have lost
5000 colored males ranging from 16 to
60 years of age. In an effort to stop
the exodus, Montgomery, Ala, authori-
ties passed an ordinance providing
fines and imprisonment of anybody
convicted of enticing, persuading or
influencing any laborer to leave that
city for employment at any other
place. Various Southern papers advo-
cate legislation against "unscrupulous"
labor agents, and call for measures to
prevent migration. With some excep-
tions the Southern press advises the
Negro that in the long run he is better
off in the South than anywhere else,
and fears the loss of colored labor as
a very serious disturbance of indus
trial conditions.

petty police persecution of Negroes as
a contributing cause of the local exo-
dus which it calls the most pressing
thing before the state today.
I'VE must have the Negro in the
South. The black man is fitted by ma
ture, by centuries of living in it, to
work contentedly, effectively and
healthily during the long summers OF
semi-tropical and tropical countries.
He has been with us so long that our
whole industrial, commercial and agri-
cultural structure has been built on
black foundation. 1t is the only labor
we have, it is the best we possibly
could have-if we lose it, we go bank
rupt!"
A considerable redistribution of the
Negro race throughout the states is an
unexpected phenomenon of far-reach-
ing Importance. This new form of the
Negro issue is widely discussed. The
Negro's migration will not only be his
second emancipation" according to
the Chicago Herald, but "it may be the
prelude to a new emancipation for the
South"
"The feeling of race antagonism in
the South will inevitably be relieved.
Furthermore, the Southern states will
necessarily progress along mechan-
ical and industrial lines. The fact
that labor in the South has been cheap
has retarded both the Negro and the
whites. Labor-saving machinery has
not been installed as rapidly as in
other sections where human effort
meant the expenditure of more dol
lars. The wage competition with the
