Although nothing official can be obtained on the sale of Grimes, the report will not be denied. The sale has not not been completed as yet and no particulars have been ascer- tained, but it is almost definitely es- tablished that Burleigh will go either to the St. Louis Americans or the Pittsburg Nationals.
 Scout Harry Neal of the Pirates has been in Birmingham for the past few days giving Burleigh the 'once over," and it is believed that the ivory hunter secured the purchase of Grimes before his departure from Birmingham early yesterday afternoon. Branch Hickey, chief scout of the Browns, also made a bid for Grimes when he was here sev- eral weeks ago, but it is understood the Pirate offer almost doubled that of the Browns.
 President W. D. Smith of the Barons could not be reached yesterday for 8 statement on the matter Manager Molesworth, however, kept the sealed word on the subject and refused to con firm the sale. He would not, however, deny that Neal has been close watcher of the games for the past few days, and particularly the one in which GrimT pitched on Thursday against the Look outs.
 Neal could not be reached yesterday for a statement as he left on the afternoon train for the north. He was sent to Bir- mingham especially to look Grimes oyer by the Pirate management This accom- plished, the scout returned to Pittsburs yesterday. He failed, however, to make an announcement prior to his departure.

Last spring, when the business Of the
railroads and the mines began to pros
per as they had not done before in
years. the demand for unskilled labor
increased rapidly. The freight conges.
ton in and about New York caused a
pressing demand for truck hands. In
former years the railroads had called
on Europe and Asia for extra supplies.
Labor agents and steamship companies
co-operated to fill orders for thousands
Of men for rough work. In the first
half Of 1910, when they could not get
people from the war zone, they turned
to the south and offered the colored
man the chance which should have
been given him years ago. !,
The present movement Of .colored la,
Dor from the cotton states Of the south
to the great Industrial centers Of the
north, east and west was started by
the Erie and Pennsylvania railroads in
legitimate way. The agents Of these
roads commenced their efforts to In.
crease their operating forces by ap.
pealing to the federal department Of
7labor's distribution office, connected
with the division Of information.
The roads took advantage Of Secre-
tary Wilson's plan to land the "jobless
man" In the ''manless job" The first
call was made on Florida and Georgia.
It was made known at Jacksonville
and Savannah that these two great
roads would pay % cents an hour,
seven days a week, and use the men
overtime, and the exodus began In
earnest.
