NEGROES QUIT dixie
FOR NORTHERN CITIES
Leaving South. Where Needed, for Sec
ton Where They Are Unwelcome.

Southern negroes are going North
against the desires of Southern white
employers, and in the face of a cool
welcome from the North, according to
preliminary results of a new and COM
prehensive study of the race-labor pro-
blem in the United States upon which
the Department Of Labor yesterday an
nounced 1t was embarked
Unwonted activity in the manufactur-
ing establishments OF the Northern
States and discomfort with SOCIOLOGICAL
conditions in the South are the factors
tending to induce the negro to migrate
Alarmed at the gradual disappearance
of the principal labor supply for Southern
plantations, the employers Of that sec
ton are considering means of turning
back the tide.
The opposition to the influx Of coloreG
labor in the States north of the Mason
and Dixon Line is coming chiefly from the
labor unions. Colored labor is being i'm
ported in some cases to break strikes and
act as a check on the soaring wage
scales for white men Ia the Northern
mills. Consequently the black man is
winning the dislike of white laborers and
artisans in the North.

SOUTHWEST SALOON
TARGET AT HEARING
Witnesses Allege Deplorable Conditions
Near Barroom.

Petitioners against the renewal of the
room at 24S c street southwest yester-
day filed a communication with the Ex-
else Board, stating that their names had
been signed under a misstatement of facts
and requesting that their opposition be
withdrawn.
The hearing on the welch application
developed strong opposition In which
police officials and citizens in the vicinity
Of the licensed location disagreed with
reference to conditions existing there.
Attorney A. z. Shoemaker, representing
the Anti-Saloon League, introduced wit
nesses who asserted that crap shooting.
profanity, solicitation by women and
fights were frequent in the neighborhood
of the saloon.
Thorndike Robinson, Rev. David John
son. of St Pauls NJ. E. Church, and John
Robinson were among those who entered
vigorous opposition to the renewal.
Police Capt. Williams testified that he
had observed conditions in the vicinity
of the saloon for some time and that the
offenses cited had escaped his notice.
Chairman Cummings remarked that the
conflict in testimony would indicate that
the police were deaf or blind or that wit
nesees against the license exaggerated
the conditions.
The board took the matter under ad-
visement. Since the opening Of hearings
eighty-three cases have been considered.
Hearings will be resumed at $50 o'clock
this morning.

Of American commercial interests may
be expected soon.
The impression among officials is that
the reply will be unsatisfactory. 1t was
pointed out that neither the State De-

American firms working informally with
Sir Richard Crawford, trade adviser of
the British Embassy, nor the govern
n'ent itself in representations to Great
Britain had succeeded in having many
