NEGRO LABOR
PROBE WILL BE
STARTED HERE
CHARGE NEGROES QUIT WORK BE.
CAUSE THEY GET ALLOTMENTS
FROM SOLDIERS

An Investigation, to ascertain the
truth of charges that negroes are quit
ting work because they receive allot-
ments from relatives in the military
service, is to be conducted in Escam-
bia county soon, at the direction OF
the u. S. Department Of Labor.
Examiner McNeir, of the u. S. EN-
ployment ONCE in the city hall has re-
ceived word that DR.. George E. Haynes,
director Of negro economics Of the De-
partment of Labor is in the south in
vestigating the above condition. It is
understood that Escambia county's la
Dor conditions will be looked into as
well as that Of other Florida counties.
Another feature of the negro situa-
tion, which DR.. Haynes is investigat-
ing, is to examine proposals that negro
women be subjected to compulsory
work laws. A canvass Of the coIored
people Of Florida is now being under
taken, and efforts will be made to bet
ter relations between white employ
ers and colored populations.
Florida's negro problems were dis
cussed recently at conference held N
.Ocala. which was attended by Presi
dent N B. Young, of the A. & NJ. col
lege for negroes. 1t is hoped the in
vestigation will result in more volun-
tary, regular and enthusiastic work for
greater production on the part of the
colored population.
