NEGRO LABOR NOT
GOING BACK SOUTH

That Southern cotton fields are get,
ting back practically none or the
negro labor attracted North by the
high wages Of war plants, Is shown
by reports to the Department OF La
Dor. Their exodus caused serious Ia
bor shortages in many localities.
In several districts, such as Ohio
PennsyIvania and the Virginia tide
water, negro immigrants from Dixie
are already being absorbed by peace
Industries. Although the Labor De-
partment has not decided whether to
try to induce numbers Of these labor
ers to return South. the employment
service is already trying 10 get better
working conditions for the negroes In
the. South, and is making plans to
absorb the discharged soldiers.
The high cost Of transportation has
been a factor hindering the return OF
this labor, department officials be-
lIeye. Higher wages for labor in the
South are destined to come, some
members Of the department believe,
in order to adjust the shortage
caused by the exodus to war plants.

Theaters and other places OF amuse-

not enough theaters to accommodate
all, many spent the evening marching

She was SGT feet long with a S.
foot beam and was equipped to carry
$500 passengers in cabin and steer
age accommodations. The ship had
twin screws and speed OF about
eighteen knots. On several occasions
since the war began she was tie OBJ
iect of torpedo attack but managed
to escape through her speed, assisted
by defense guns
For some time the Tuscania has
been under charter to the Cunard fine
and she is the fifth big vessel of tho
Cunard company lost since the wssr
began.
Although prior to January OF the
present year there were more than
200, 900 American troops in France.
according to the statement made by
Secretary OF War Baker. the Tuscania
was the first transport to be torpedoed
on the voyage from an American port
to France. Several American trans
ports, however, have been torpedoed
ION the return journey, after having
debarked troops.
When the Tuscania was first put
into service her apartments for first
cabin passengers, of whom she could
carry $50. were sumptuous. The
panelng of her main lounge room
was of olive WOOD, inlaid with line f
sycamore. The floors were of POLISH
ed oak.
A veranda, cafe and gymnasium,
Smoking rooms, dining salons, and q
novel system or heating and ventila-
ton were features of the new liner.
The first and second class staterooms
were situated on the bridge deck and

large in size and we'll furnished.
1t is probable, however. in view Of
the exigencies of the situation, that

most of her luxurious fittings in ordes
to take as great number of troops
as possible on each voyage.
