whereas, The emigration of south

which has lately attracted the atten-
tion of the United States department
Of labor and has occasioned anxiety on
the part Of the organized labor move
ment because Of the danger such emil
grafton will cause the workers in the
northern states; and,
whereas. The investigation of such
emigration and importation Of Negroes
into the state Of Ohio has demonstrate
ed to the satisfaction Of the labor lead
ers in that state that they are being
brought north for the purpose Of filling
the places of union men demanding
better conditions, as in the case Of the
freight handlers; and,
whereas, The shortage Of European
labor has made the southern Negro an
asset in the labor markets Of the north
and the conditions that prevail in Ohio
may apply in all northern states; there
