MIGRATION OF BLACKS
INTO NORTHERN STATES
is BECOMING SERIOUS
(By Associated Negro Press)

Minneapolis. Mimi, April THE
continued migration of southern Ne
groes into northern states is slowly
bringing aboet a situation which only
the most careful educational and spir-
itual effort can avert, according to
leading sociologists who have contrib
uted to the survey taken by the
Northern Baptists in their New World
movement here recently. 1t is esti-
mated that there are now 100000
colored people in the United States.
In 1910 almost 100000 of them lived
in the south. Today it is estimated
that less than 1000 900 remain in the
south. The Northern Baptists are ap-
propriating a part of the $100 100000
fund to lie raised in the New World
movement for the establishment of
educational and recreational centers
in northern cities.

Mary B. Talbert Tells of
Conditions in Southland
(By Aggociated Negro Press,

(By Associated Negro Press)
Spokane, Wash, April Mrs.
Mary 3. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y,
president of the National Federation
of Colored Women and graduate of
Oberlin college, addressed an audi
ence that filed the assembly room of
the chamber of commerce. Mrs. Tai
bert is speaking throughout the ma
ton on questions concerning the race.
"The allies cannot forget the Negroes
who fought with them" she said eff
the Negroes are good enough to die
for democracy, they are good enough
to live in democracy. We are sick of
fighting to make the world safe for
democracy and now want to make the
world fit place to live in.
-Four hundred and fifty thousand
Negroes were sent to France and they
were the most loyal of soldiers be-
cause they fought for a democracy
that they did not possess.
'The Negroes subscribed to $685.
100000 worth of Liberty bonds The
government told them unless they put
something into the war, they should
receive nothing, and we began to hope
that peace would include the Negro.
I travelled through the south speaking
in behalf of the fourth Liberty bond
campaign.
81 had to go in Jim Crow car, an
ordinary freight car. l travelled thirty
hours at stretch with no sleeper, no
diner, because no Negro is allowed on
any other kind of car in the south.
Yet l was selling Liberty bonds for
my government and the government
operated the trains. l wasn't permit
ted to buy cup of coffee at the sta
tions because my lips would touch
the cup and transgres social equality.
1.-The Negroes are not begging for
social equality, but political and civil
rights and a chance for better living
conditions" Mrs. Talbert told of the
deplorable penal conditions in the
south, where there are no refoTmator
les for children.

Chicago Extends Welcome

Chicago, H., April Negroes are
migrating to the north fast and leav.
ing the south short of labor" T. Ar
mold Hill, executive secretary of the
league, said recently. "They are leav-
ing the south in large numbers be-
cause they think the north offers them
a better opportunity, more money and
better working conditions. AS soon
as the weather becomes milder the
influx will greatly increase. Many
Negroes who went south for the win
ter because cf the severe climate will
be coming back
I'VE have jobs for all that come.
Many foreign laborers are leaving this
country for their own countries since
the close of the great war. This
leaves many vacancies. The recent
race riots of the north had little effect
on migration. We have just as many
coming, the record shows, as before
the riots"

Kentucky Passes
ORA site Measure
To Stop Lynchings
(speciaI t. the Tribunel


New York, N. Y, April THE Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 70 Fifth ave-.
nue., New York, today made public
the following statement regarding the
signing by the governor of Kentucky
of a bill to punish mob violence:
In view of the lynching on March
29 of Grant Smith, Negro, at Millers-
burg, KY, by mob which overpow-
cred the sheriff and the police chief
ss they wera taking their prisoner 10
jail It IS injcrs ipg to note hat only
one week prior to this occurrence Gov.
Edwin r Marrow Of Kentucky signed
a bin providing for the punishment Of
lynchers and for the removal of the
peace officer who surrenders his pris-
oner. The kill was signed in the
presence of a committee of colored
citizens headed by Dr. E. E. Under
wood, president of the Frankfort
branch of the National Association for
the Advancement of Cclored People,
to whom the gold pen used by the
governor was presented.
The bill makes the penalty for
lynching death or life Imprisonment,
and that for attempted lynching con-
finement in the penitentiary for not
less than two years nor more than
twenty-one years.
The fight TO secure a lynching law
in Kentucky began with the legisla-
ture of two years ago, when bill was
passed submitting to the people a
constitutional amendment to make it
possible to effect the automatic re-
moval of any peace officer who per
mitted a mob to secure a prisoner in
his custody. The bill submitting the
amendment was championed ty a
committee Of colored citizens, who
succeeded in securing its passage
without a single dissenting vote in
either branch Of the legislature.
AS to wether or not the law will be
enforced will be shown by the action
taken by Kentucky authorities to
bring to trial the lynchers of Smith.
The association ha7 learned just as
this statement was being prepared
that the anti-lynching statute does not
become effective until 80 days after
the adjournment of the legislature
due to its failure to irclude an emer
gency clause.
