$650,000 Conspiracy-Char-
ges Denied by All.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. S-The
Liberian $5,OO0.O00 Loan Bill was
beaten in the Senate last week when
thirteen Republicans joined with the
Democrats and voted AZ to 33 to
shelve the measure. President HARD
ing and Secretary Hughes had urged
the passage of the bill and Senator'S
Lodge and Curtis. the floor leaders Of
the majority, labored to the last min
ute in an effort to hold their col
leagues in line.
Opposed by Reed
Senator Reed of Missouri fought
against the bill. He declared that the
proposition to advance this money
to Liberia could not be justified on
any ground. He said that only one
out of every 500 Liberians is civilized
and that back in the hills, less than
fifty miles from the coast, many of
the inhabitants still practice canni-
balism. Reed charged that If the loan
was made a large part of 1t would
go into the pocket of Lobbyists" who
he said, would be paid for their al
legged activity in getting the bill pas
sed.
Charges Graft.
A charge that FIVE prominent Ne
groes had contract to obtain $3.50
10000 IL the Liberian Loan Bill
should pass was made in the Senate
by Pat Harrison, a Democrat from
Mississippi.
Senator Harrison named the men.

Harrison are: william H. Lewis, OF

Lyons or Baltimore, q former minis
ter to Liberia.
Deny Charges.
The charge was vigorously denied
by Senator Curtis, of Kansas, in
charge of the bill, who said that the
rumor reported by Senator Harrison,
like others. had originated in the
Senator's own fertile brain"
There isn't scintilla of truth in
any such statement" said DR.. Scott.
"The charges are laughable and alb
solutely false" declared James A.
Cobb. "a fabrication out of the whole
CLOTH" was Houston's reply.

Migration Helpful from Econom.
ic Standpoint; Better Schools

washington, D. c., Dec. S-Re-
ports from various Southern States
show that another exodus of colored
people to western and northern states
is getting under way. The need for
unskilled labor in industrial centers
rendered acute by the limitation OF
emigration and the consequent re-
cruiting of colored workers to fill the
lob into which unending streams OF
foreigners formerly followed is given
as the chief cause.
Labor agents, representing large
Northern corporations are again re-
ported active throughout the south
and while they are not popular with
the planters, who see the loss OF val
uable labor as result of their ef-
forts, the agents are said to take ev-
cry precaution, taking out licenses.

From Atlanta comes the information
that a train load Of colored workmen
left Macon, Ca, last week bound for
Steubenville, Ohio, where they were
to be employed in a steel mill. $4,000
in railroad fares was required for the
movement
Because of the resulting opportun-
ity for securing work at more at
tractive wages and gaining freedom
from his Southern environment. the
ban on immigration has been boon
to the Negro. Though great sacri-
fees of property are frequently made
and while the change from rural liv-
ing into the congested centers to
which the immigrants go has proo-
lens which must be worked out. 1t is
the opinion of social workers that the
migration is proving decidedly help
full from the standpoint Of advancing
the economic interests of the group
Better schooling for the children, the
right of franchise and the example
of progressive surroundings have
made great changes in the lives OF
many of these families.
For this reason efforts which are
being made to lift the ban of immi-
grafton are being watched with inter-
est. The millions who immigrated
to America before the war have been
cut down to a mere fraction by the
present law which admits only three
per cent of the total of the nationals
of any foreign country in America
before the war. Colored men are do
ing the hard work which these for
eigners did and which many Ameri-
cans will not do.
It is admitted even by those who
are interested in breaking down the
ban that many immigrants are un-
desirable, prone to Bolshevism and
that they cannot be Americanized
easily. If America could select their
immigrants and choose those whom
they prefer, discriminating against
Catholic and Jewish newcomers, 1t
Is likely according to Senator here
!. the bars would be let down. But as
the case stands now, China is the only
country whose people are excluded
and If she were great power the
Chinese exclusion act would never
have been passed. In the meantime
the center of Negro population is
steadily shifting northward and the
colored brother is saying: TITS an Ill
