NEGROES FLOCK
BACK TO SOUTH
Find High Wages in The
North Offset By
Many actors

MEMPHIS, Oct. 20. - Thousands
of negroes, who flocked north b.
trainloads during the summer, are
returning south.
Disappointed by failure I'd find
the higher wages and better condi-
lions about which employment agents
gllbly talked, their old employers say
they are eagerly seeking to return
to the work they left.
With business slackening in many
northern industrial centers, the ne
groes found that they were usually
the first to be laid off the job. Coun-
try negroes declare their higher pay
was more than counterbalanced by
increased living costs in industrial
cities. City negroes often found
their wages in northern cities did not
equal their pay in southern cities.
Many Reasons.
Lack of adequate housing facili
ties, strange conditions, inconsistencies
failure to find the improved social
treatment for which some had hop
ed, more rigorous climates, race riot
ing harder work-these are some of
the things which are sending the ne
groes back South in a steady stream.
Reports received by local employ
ment bureaus show that 100000 ne
groes went North during June, July
and August, this year. There was
considerable negro migration almost
from the start of the war.
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky were
chiefly hit by the negro migration,
Mississippi showing an actual de-
crease in population.
Whole trainloads of negroes went
North daily during the peak of the
migration. Almost every day during
the three summer months 200 ne
groes left Memphis for Detroit and
nearby points. Trainloads, like cat
tie, were shipped away to work on
northern railroads. Eastern corp
orations and railroads sent agents
throughout the South to hire labor,
and efforts to prevent the migra-
ton accomplished little.
Many on Railroads.
According to estimates by men
who studied the problem, IS per cent
of the negroes who went North work
ed on railroad construction jobs.
Pennsylvania used a large number
on state roads. Akron, O., is esti-
mated to have taken 10000 negroes

New Auto Tags To
Be Green On Pink

ATLANTA, Oct. 29.-New auto
mobile license tags for 1921 have
green figures on a pink background.
About $4,000 tags are on their way
to the capitol. Approximately 49,
900 automobiles were licensed in
1920 and it is expected the number
will be increased to SITS, 900 in
1921.
Secretary McLendon has purchas-
ed $4,000 tags to beprepared to
take care of that number of cars.

from the Memphis territory.
The supply of negro labor in
Mississippi is estimated to have been
cut SO per cent during the summer.
Negroes were not success as rail-
road workers, according to local rail
road agents.
According to r. c. Wells of the
Memphis Employment Bureau and
railroad men, the migration of ne
groes has now almost completely
stopped, while the return movement
is growing so heavy that, if it con-
tinues at it's; present rate, about IS
per cent of those who left will have
returned before the end of the win
ter.
