Less than l percent, or only $500,
of the Negroes in the United States
are of foreign birth, according to the
1880 Census. The 1910 Census, which
will be taken this April, is expected
to show an increase of foreign-born
Negroes in the United States because
Of recent migrations from the British
West Indies and Canada.
The weekly echo. (Meridian, Miss.) 1931-1942, 1940-03-08
FEW NEGROES MOVE no
SOUTHERN states

The 1880 Census showed that less
than percent of the colored persons
living in the South at that time had
moved there from other sections Of
the country. 1t also showed that
more than So percent of the colored
people living in the North and West
were born in the South. The 194(
Census, which begins April 1, may
reveal a new trend in Negro migra-
ton from section to section.

Express Agency Strike
Still in Prospect

A strike involving some 10000 en-
ployes of the Railway Express
Agency, Inc, continued in prospect
today followinga statement by L. o.
Head, president of the firm, yester-
day in which he declared the agency
has been and is willing to put into
effect the recommendations" of
special fact-finding board which re-
ported to President Roosevelt August
2 but feels unable to go beyond
them.
George M. Harrison, head of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, has
called meeting of brotherhood dis
trict leaders here Monday to discuss
strike call.
In his statement, Mr.. Head said
the firm would be agreeable to
establishment of a 44-hour week, as
recommended by the emergency
fact-flnding board. He asserted,
however, that the clerks organiza-
ton has demanded that the Ex-
press Agency do more than was
recommended by the Emergency
Board and make practically all the
changes in the working agreement
which the (brotherhood's commit
tee had demanded in the beginning
and which the Emergency Board had
dismissed"
Mr.. Harrison has contended con-
ditions attached by the company to
its 44-hour week plan would mean,
if agreed to, that it would be
worth nothing to the men"

Nor was this eerie war confined
to the continent of Europe. The
British blockade and German re-
prisals, whatever their aims against
the enemy, affected the economies

In America the effect was electric.
The stock market gyrated wildly,
and within II months the accent of
our national economy changed from
peacetime drive to whip the de-
preston into a drive for arma-
ments.
The spending rate for our Army

to $4,000, 900, 900 annually, despite
the national debt of close to so
billions of dollars.
We considered CONSUMPTION. We
put on paper a two-ocean Navy,

We took a broader view of the

On Trust Charges
Interference With U. S.
Defense Preparations
toid to Operations

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A special
Federal grand jury investigating al
legged antitrust law violations in war
industries yesterday indicted the
General Electric Co. and the Krupp
Co. of Essen, Germany, on charges
of conspiracy to fix prices and con-
troll supply of hard metals and tools
vital to the Nations defense pro-
gram.
The indictment, described by Fed
ersl investigators as the most i'm
portant defense monopoly bill yet
returned, was the second naming
General Electric Co. and the fourth
war industry indictment by the
| grand jury in as many days.
The first charged four firms with
price fixing in the airplane fabric
industry, the second accused four
companies of monopolistic practices
in the glass bulb field, and the third
accused five corporations of conspir-
ing to control production and sale
Of bentonite-a molding clay. In
dividual officers were also named in
each case; General Electric was
cited in the second.
Others Named in Bill.
Named in yesterdays bill, besides
the General Electric and Krupp
companies, were:
| Walter M. Stearns of Schenectady
N. Y, manager of trade relations and
special contracts for General Elec-
trio; Carbaloy Co. of Detroit, Mich,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cen
eral Electric, and w. G. Robbins of
Detroit, president, and Fay Jeffries
of Cleveland, chairman of the board
In Cleveland, Mr.. Jeffries declared
operations of his company have
been carried out in guidance by
competent counsel and that the
firm has not knowingly violated any
statute Of the United States"
Krupp Agreement Charged.
The Krupp firm, through power to
veto patent licenses to American
firms for manufacture of tungsten
carbide-used in machine-cutting
tools-holds the power to exert con-
troll over this country's defense pro-
gram, the Government charged.
The indictment alleged Krupl
agreed not to export tungsten car
bide, tools and dies to the United
States, and that General Electric
and Carbaloy, in return, agreed not
to export, thus setting up ipterna-
tional control of the cutting ele-
ments.
The prosecutors expressed the
opinion that similar agreements be-
tween Krupp-London dispatches

Craziest Pattern in History.
Future historians will inherit from
this era the craziest pattern of war
in ali history. Before them will be
the awful scheme of September l,
1899. Contrast that with the band
playing, blood ingling enthusiasm
for physical combat when the first
World War descended on Europe
in 1914.
Before the historians, too, will be
the spectacle of the rich democratic
empires of France and Britain, rag
gedly prepared for modern war.
1t was seven months before the
democracies completely realized they
were face to face with the deadliest
mass destroyer yet nown-an army
