Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, February 15.-Technical conditions governed this weeks firmer and more active stock market, shorts covering at the first indications of bullish support. Sentiment was inf1u- enced by better business prospects, all though there still existed widely diver gent opinions respecting the future of important industries.
 More unsettlement in the metal trade with refined copper down to IT cents, and additional dividend reductions kept that group under restraint.
 Betterment in the Mexican situation was attended by substantial gains not only in oils, but among other issues which are interested in the trend of events across the Rio Grande. Motors. tobaccos and other specialties now popularly designed as peace" issues, were easily advanced to the confusion of the bears, but rails remained in a state of suspended animation, stan dard shares hardening.
 Primer tendencies prevailed in the money market. 90 days loans being made at 51s cents on all industrial col lateral, and call loans several times rising to 6 per cent reflecting the in- creased preference for time funds.

PROGRESS IN COMPENSATION LAW
Fear of Undue Hardships by Such Legislation Gradu-
 ally Eliminated
By Associated Press


 Washington, February 14.-Steady progress of the movement to compen- sate for industrial accidents without suits to prove the negligence of the employer is noted in a bulletin issued by the bureau of labor statistics, show ing that six new sta.Ss adopted com pensat ton legislation in 1917 and 1918, and that only 10 states of the union have not accepted the principle.
 'The day seems not far distant when the obsolete system of damage suits and charges and counter charges of negligence of industrial injury claims" the bulletin says.
 Fear that such legislation would en- tail undue burdens on industry was said to have been eliminated as a re- suit of satisfactory experience under compensation laws and because it is becoming better understood that the laws do not cause injury losses but only distribute the burden of them on the industry as a whole, instead of on the weakest element of the system-the injured worker. This realization has opened the way for amendments lib eralizing the awards allowed.
 Advances noted in the bulletin are the shortening of the waiting time, for which. as a rule no compensation is all lowed and the increase of the allow ance of medical and surgical aid. A notable departure in this connection is the provision of the Washington statute for local funds. supported and admin istered by employers and employees jointly for more effective and equitable administration of medical benefits.
 Among important court decisions on the laws was cited the supreme court ruling which denied the application of state compensation laws to employees of interstate carriers.
 The states which have not adopted the principle of industrial compensa tion are North Dakota, Missouri, Ar kansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Abraham Bow

the Y. M C A, stated in an address
this week that an average of 1000 900
foreigners will come to this country
in a short time, annually, for period
of fifty years, when there will be one
hundred million, all Japanese and Chi
namen. He stated that the matter
will be looked at economically only
This country will need laborers. and
European countries, because of the
wars devastation, will be unable to
supply them.
He continued, "Only Japan and
China furnish the answer to the labor
problems. Therefore they are bound
TO come, coolies and all, and they will
come unrestrictedly And I believe
they will intermarry with our people
as other immigrants are doing. Japa-
nese and Chinese frequently marry our
university girls now. They will over
ride racial prejudice, literacy tests and
every other obstacle"

started to go down stairs in one OF

with bitterness.
A Negro corporal with croix de
guerre on his breast and a limp which
he got when he took machine gun

Detroit hungry. He went into a res.
taurant and a foreigner who was in
charge came up to him with a sneer
and said, "We don't serve niggers in
here"

NEGRO AMERICANS
(By Associated Negro Press)

CHICAGO, May 14.-Chicagoans of
both races, are viewing with much
concern, the great wave of social un-
rest" that is manifesting itself in every
section of the nation. Not only have
the daily newspapers taken an unusual
interest in urging just consideration OF
the claims of the Colored people. but
the Union League club, the greatest
organization of its kind in the world
composed of the millionaires of Chi
cago and the northwest, have appoint
ed a special committee to look into the
subject, so far as our people are con-
cerned. 1t is everywhere admitted
without hesitation that the race has
been flagrantly denied the justice to
which it is entitled, and there is going
to be a looking into matters in the ef-
fcient manner in which the white
Americans always deals with subjects

South Not the Paradise
Some Would PictureIt
Say Latest Reports
(By Asgociated Negro Pressl

CBy Associated Negro Press)
ATLANTA, Ca, May 14.-Daily
newspapers in every section Of the
south continue to carry reports that
the Colored people who migrated north
during the last two years are only too
glad to return south, and all of them
have returned
A thorough investigation of this sec
tion discloses the fact that these peo-
pie not only have failed to return, but
thousands are leaving every month for
the north. Where they are going, it
is difficult to say, but they have not
taken kindly to suggestions made rels-
tive to reconstruction plans.
AS proof that the people have not
returned, there is a demand for labor
here and in other sections of the south
almost equal to that during the war,
and yet the places cannot be filed.
One of our prominent business men
said today: I'VE have made some
little headway along some lines, in
getting better opportunities, but the
south has long way to go before It
becomes the paradise some of the peo-
pie would picture it."

FROM THE COOE-POT TO
THE SENATE THERE'S
ALWAYS A NEGRO IN IT
(By Associated Negro Press)

ATLANTA Ca, May 1.-THE old
saying that "a negro is in every,
thing" had tragic realization here
when the explosion of an internal
machine, sent to the home of former
Senator Hardwick, resulted in the Sc
rious injury of his wife and their col
ored maid.
The package, coming through the
mail was opened by the maid,
on the request of Mrs. Hard
wick. It was supposed to contain
pencils. When the wrapings were re-
moved, the machine exploded Both
hands of the maid were blown off, and
Mrs. Hardwick was injured over the
face and body. The senator believes
it was an attempt by Bolsheviki to get
rid of him, because Of his attitude on
certain questions while he was in the
senate.
