When Train Fails
T0Arrive on Time

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Columbia, S. c., Mar. 21.--The
train didn't come. Three hundred
Negroes were disappointed and sew
eral of them found their way to the
lookup because a Detroit Special
failed Ito make its appearance at
the Union Station here last Wednes-
day. A rumor that special
would pass through this city and take
on whoever of our Negro population
desired to shake the dust of Colum-
bia for the green grass of Detroit,
Michigan, would be given free pass
age to the City of the Automobile.
The rumor proved to be a canard.
Later the persons who were arrest
ed because they were blocking the
station were liberated by the police.

TRAIN PORTER FINDS
THAT 1T PAYS TO SMILE

Mason City, Mar. 31.-It costs
nothing to be courteous and the sat
isfactiop of obliging the patrons or
the road means much to John w.
Harrison, the colored porter on the
Rock Island between Des Moines and
the Twin Cities. Harrison is always
alert to assist in every way and his
genial personality is always back Of
a broad smile. The type exemplifed
by John Harrison is almost extinct
and il is a happy turn that this col
ored gentleman is young in years and
destined to carry on for years the
creation of better impression of his
race. John has been in the service
of the Rock Island railway for a
number of years.--Mason City Globe

Local Conference
Is Taking Form
Preparations for April Gathering
of Representative Citizens
Developing o. X.

The city wide conference of rep
resentatives of every city organiza-
tion which was called by President
Owen Howell of the St. Paul Negro
Business League, to be held at Un-
ion Hall April 18th, is taking real
form. Many organizations that have
received invitations to the confer
ence have voiced their intentions of
taking part in the conference. 1t is
conservatively estimated that more
than fifty delegates will attend the
meeting.
To Discuss Situation.
Nearly every northern city of size
is at this time devising means of
handling the immigration of colored
labor from the South. In Chicago,
the Urban League, The Y. w. G. A,
the churches. and many other or
ganizations are giving serious
h ought to the prospects of
an increase in the Negro population.
Ohio faces the same situation. In
almost every center where an influx
is expected. the housing problem is
proving the most difficult situation.
The coming of the Ford plant to
st. Paul means an Industrial boom
for the northwest. 1t also is certain
that Negro labor will find employ
ment at the Ford Industrial center.
1t is expected that considerable col
ored labor will be used during the
period the plant is under construc-
tion, besides a number will be en-
ployed after the plant is completed.
Construction will begin within so
days, according to the announcement
of Ford's engineers.
The Ford problem will be one of
of the most important questions to
be discussed at the proposed confer
ence.
