WASHINGTON. May 11 Declaring
the labor situation In the South has
become aoute John M. Qlbbs. of Nor
folk secretary of the North Carolina
Pine association has written Emmett
J. Scott of Howard university protest-J
ng against efforts to stimulate an ex
odus of negroes from the South to the
North.
Referring to s recent telegram sent
by Scott to E. H Osry of the United
States Steel corporation suggesting
that negroes were available for work
the industrial regions of the East
Mr. Gibbs asked to be put in touch
with the facilities whereby the mem
bers of the North Carolina Pine ssso
elation can draw on the J. 000. 000 negro
aborers which you state are available
supply any deficiencies In the In
dustrial regions of the country."
The members of the North Carolina
I'ine association. .Mr. (Jinbs said are
scattered throughout the States of
Maryland Virgina North and South
Caiolina. Georgia and Alabama. In
which states approximately sO.000 ne
roes are employed and happily so. In
he manufacture of lumber. At no time
n the past six months have we had
surplus of labor.
'The -situation today is much worse
han it was even three months ago
and to sin'h an extent that none of the
l ntllla Bi-a ( n.ininv ..II
"What is true in the lumber Indus
try Is true also in other industries."
Mr. t.thbs said that (lining the past
yfr wages have Increased in the
south about 50 per rent "notwlth
standing which the promise of higher
wages and supposedly better living
rreidttiofts are enticing the negro la-
borers to points In the North and East
from his natural habitat which when
responded trs makes for unhappiness
In the main because so many of these
bright promises terminals in dismal
realities."
In a letter to the National Lumber
Manufacturers' association winch made
public Mr. Gibbs' views he said that
to change our manufacturing and in-
dustrial sections of the South from
the practlcically 10ft per cent American
citizenship to a large percentage of
alien rltiienship would prove a serious
mishap.
"I'nleas the full car and solid train
movement of the i negro population
from the South trf the North ceases
uc will surely flnoTour farms and fac-
tories under limited cultivation and
restricted out-turn."

To You Mother
To you who are so much a part
Of my own soul of my ova heart:
My hopes snd dreams of things to be;
' My pity for Humanity
I owe my lite.
With me no pther ever will
Possess the fllaoe you rightly fill;
A Mother only understands
And smoothes the pain with loving hands.
And kinder words.
No other voice I ever hear
Will seem to me one half so dear;
No other ways Will be as sweet
And life would te quite Incomplete
Without your love.
For vou through all my foolish days.
Through time ill-spent in countless ways.
Through fleeting oy and "Idle tears."
I've felt a love that passing years
Can not destroy.
