A NEGRO MIGRATION

OMAHA NORTHUMBERLAND - Inc
evidence collected proves that there
is large emigration of Negroes from
the south to the north. A Harvard
man who has been investigating the
subject declares that there are at least
$4,000 Negroes in Chicago and that
$4,000 of them have come there during
the last few months. On account OF
the shortage, of labor, they are being
employed in quite large numbers in
the packing houses, where white labor
only has been employed heretofore,
and at Gary, Ind, in the steel mills.
II is said that over 1000 are already at
work In the packing houses. Mr.. Jack
son, the Harvard investigator, says
they average up fairly well in mental
and physical ability with the whites
who have sought that kind of work.
II is claimed that the south is making
every effort to stop this migration to-
the north. especially since agents have
been sent there by several large cor
porations to get cheap labor. and get
ting north has been made difficult for
the Negroes. Most of the Negroes have
so far come from the big cities in the
south. AS rule only those have found
employment who are willing to en-.
gage in industrial work as common
laborers. The desire to come north is
spreading into the country districts,
and every means is being used to stop
the migration. for the very life of the
south is thought to depend upon Negro
labor. Northern friends of the Negroes
are also opposed to it, and say that
very sad conditions may result to both
whites and Negroes il 1t is persisted

WANTS LAND FOR
WASHoE INDIANS

Lorenzo ID. Creel, connected with
the Indian department of the United
States government, is in Carson en-
deavoring to secure a tract of land
somewhere near the city to be used
for the purpose of providing homes
for the Washoe Indians, says Carson
Appeal
Mr.. Creel desires quite a large tract
of land, of which at least forty acres
must be provided with water for IT.
rigation and domestic purposes. The
government has made an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for these Indians with
which to build small homes for them
to live in and permanent place of
abode. AT the same time il is necessary
that these homes should be within
convenient distance of the city, to
enable the Indians to work in town at
various kinds of employment.
1t is also the idea of the govern
ment 10 have them raise garden
products for their own use and sale
The buildings will be erected under
the supervision of a government of.
icial, who will also look after the
interests of the Indians when they
have settled upon the land.
The Washoes are what are termed
by the government non-reservation
Indians and through the sale OF some
of their lands and rentals from others
under lease, Uncle Sam has been en-
abled to look after and assist them
in this manner
