demands in Chicago at the present
time, the people are not returning
South, but prefer to remain either
here at smaller wages or go to
communities IN the Northwest and
West, where there is still demand.
Recently ]. H. Halliburton, of Men,
phis, Tenn, appeared before the Exc
cutive Committee of the League,
stating that he had come here for
the single purpose of taking as many
people back south, to work on va
rious plantations, as cared to go.
He promised better living conditions,
cash for labor, and cheaper food.
To a question put to him by A. X.
Maynord whether the citizens would
be permitted to vote, he replied,
mo"
Mr.. Halliburton personally pre-
sented his claims to several hundred
men gather at the headquarters of
the Urban League. Out of the en-
tire number, he found only six who
were willing to return, and they
finally backed out. He and his agents
remained in Chicago FOR several days,
but returned South without the aeed-
ed help.
It is stated on very good authority
chat there is a combination effort
among certain employers Of labor
in Chicago, who during the war
period used all the Colored help they
could obtain, now refusing to EN-
ploy Colored help even as laborers
There is remarkable demand for
labor in Flint and Detroit. Michigan
and for farms in various sections OF
the Northwest The biggest problem
to solve is that of housing, but the
outlook for this is Frightening up
somewhat.

Chicago, June 5.-Bomb workers are
again at work in this city, and for
the second time in two weeks, have
bombed the beautiful residence Of Mrs.
Gertrude Harrison, 4807 Grand Bou-
levard, one Of the exclusive sections
Of Chicago.
Mrs. Harrison and her family are
among Chicagos most highly re-
spected people, and the infamous
acts have aroused The Indignation Of
the entire populace. It is claimed
by some that neighbors planned the
bombing.
It is dihicult to explain why the
perpetrators of these all too many
bombing parties are not run down
by the police and brought to justice.
1t is thought that they may continue
until, the patience of the people 10 ex-
hausted and there will develop one
Of the most serious riots the city
has known.
