get off that train, even before the next
station was reached. AS it was, sew
eral succeeded in jumping, and when
they came to themselves, they found
that they were many miles from any
place they ever had heard of before,
were without railroad fare back home,
and had no idea which way to turn.
Many remained on the train until
it drew into Meridian, when they de.
serted, while others went further
north before the inconsistencies blues
attacked them 1t is believed that less
than 10 per cent of the negroes who
left Hattiesburg under the guidance
OF labor agents. eever were taken into
Chicago.
They're walking back, riding on
freight trains, taking the "biind bag

one town in five minutes than can pos

like 150 or 200 were loaded on special
coaches of the New Orleans & North
eastern Railroad Company here, and
headed for Chicago late in the night,

looking.
The negroes thought they wanted
TO go to Chicago and accept big pay
ing positions in the packing houses
there. This thought was uppermost
in their minds until the lights of Hat
tiesburg began fading in the distance
as their train chug-chugged on toward
The north. Then those Inconsistencies
blues" attacked about half of them.
A special railroad man had to stay
in each car, it was stated today, to
prevent some of the negroes from
jumping through the windows, or of
