100000 Colored
Voters in Pa.

Chicago, July 1S.-The migration
from the South is not only causing the
Southern white people sleepless nights
on account of labor shortage, but it is
also making politicians sit up and take
notice of this new force in political
circles. The migration has swelled
the voting strength of Negroes in To-
calities where their votes will be
counted. 1t is believed that colored
voters will play an important part in
the coming presidential election. How
will the Negro vote is becoming an
important question.
Roscoe Simmons makes this declar-

number $4,000; Illinois, 127, 900; Ohio,

New Law Hits Our
Federal Workers

Washington, July 1S.-Approximate-
lY 5000 members of our race who are
civil service employees here are more
or less disturbed over the recent pas
sage of the Reconsideration bill de-
signed to promote salaries and i'm
prove conditions of civil service EN-
ployees.
Contrary to the previous bill, which
limited employees only in position and
which made it possible for long serv-
ice messenger to receive high salary,
under the new classification act the
employees are paid strictly in accord
ance with he capacities they fill.
Although the new act increases sal
aries slightly it places dead line on
earning capacity of employees of col
or due to the difficulty to place mem
bers of our race in civil service posi-
tions above that of messenger.
