NORTHWARD FLUX OFF NEGRO REAL PROBLEM
Will Have Marked Effect Upon La
 Dor Supply In South

WASHINGTON, April 27.--The general movement of southern negro farmers to northern industrial cen ters shown by recent survey of the department of agriculture, will, if continued. have very marked eff feet both upon the labor supply in the south and upon the negro race it. self in the opinion of officials of the census bureau.
 An analysis by the bureau of the negro population statistics of the 1920 census shows marked tendencies toward interstate migration and concentration in cities, the move ment receiving its first impetus In the demand for unsklled labor dur ing the World war. During the dec ade nearly 235.000 negroes removed to cities in the South Atlantic states and nearly the same number to cities in the east north central states.
 The increase in the cities, aver aging nearly 50 per cent, affords a vivid statistical picture in the opin- ion of census officials of a syste- matic effort in industry and com merce to supply with the negro worker the unskiIled labor needs largely met by immigration before that was checked at the beginning of the war.
 Were foreign immigration to be resumed in the future on scale commensurate with inlmi grafton from 1890 to 1900. or during the pe- riod immediately preceding the war" the census bureau analysis says, 1t is reasonable to suppose that the negro, less In demand because of the greater labor supply, would tend to drift back to his former environ ment. But immigration for the first time in federal history has been re- stricted and if this restriction con- tinues and unskilled labor in pros porous times becomes again at a pre- mium, is the negro to respond to the demand as during the war and con tinue to increase in urban centers during the present and subsequent decades at rates resembling those shown for the war period? Should this prove to be the case the effect upon the labor supply in the south and upon the negro race itself will be very marked.
 "In everyone of the northern states negro deaths in the five years. 1915- 191s, outnumbered births; in the southern states in general the con ditions are reversed"

 World Court

WASHINGTON. April 26.-Differ- ences over the world court issue ap- pear to have developed between Pres ldent Harding and E. B. Mclean, edi- tor of the Washington Post, and host to the President and Mrs Harding or the recent Florida houseboat cruise. The Post, regarded as the strongest defender the administration has in the journalistic world,s prints a lengthy editorial on Harding's New York speech, discussing the theory of pure democracy which the President alluded to and making no mention, directly or indirectly, of the court, which was the main theme of the ad- dress. Friends of Mclean say that. although he may differ with the President on the court, their close personal friendship is as strong as ever.

CONSTRUCTION IN

New Connecting Highway Planned Between EnsIey
 And Fairfield
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD Enslcy. Ala. April 21

That buildings and homes valued in excess of $1,250.000 were being constructed in Ensley and Fairfield was the view expressed yesterday by several we'll known real estate men when requested for an opinion. They also predicted that all building rec ords ever achieved by the western part of Birmingham would be smashed during the present year un- less there was quick and decided check in the amount of construction. It was stated that something like 400 homes were being constructed in Birmingham west of Fairfield which not take into account the construc- tion of churches. lodge buildings, and stores that have been springing up.
 The local real estate men are au- thority for the statement that sev eral new additions are being planned which will add materially to the already high average of construc- tion.
 The construction in the past of a plant involving million dollars was the cause of some excitement but local business men observe the expenditure of over a million for homes and take little account of it..

That would simplify the traffic conges tioni between Ensley and Fairfield which has been source of some concern for months past. MT. Me- Cormack said that he believed the city would agree to pave the re- mainder of the avenue inasmuch as large majority of the property owners wished that work done. The delegation will present the matter to the commission Tuesday and work may be undertaken upon the completion of the Ramsay McCor- mack private contract.
 With Avenue F paved from Twen- ty-eighth street to Nineteenth street Ensley, it will there connect with the new highway to Pratt City which Is now being completed. That will tie Fairfield.
