Shipman Talks On
Negro Migration
Says North Carolina Offers
% Better Opportunity Than
Many States
HaMgh. Sept. 22?Commissioner
M. L. Shipman. of the North Carolina
Department of Labor and Printing,
commenting on the eleventh annual
convention ..of the International As
sociation of Public Kmpioyinent Ser
vices, which he attended recently at
? Toronto, Canada, said that it was
{brought out in discussions at the
jconvention that 358,856 negroes had
! migrated to the North from the
.Southern states since December 1,
11922.
I Approximately 250.000 negro la-1
borers of the migratory type already
J were in the North, they having re
imalned there after the end of the
? World War, which was responsible
'for their migration, according to in
formation made public at the con
jvention and reported here by Mr.
Shipman.
| The Commissioner of Labor and
Printing said he ascertained from a
J discussion with representatives from
I Northern states that the percentage
of negro labor from North Carolina
la smaljer In the north than the per
centage of any other southern state.
.He accounted for this with the state
| ment - that North Carolina offers
greater opportunity for the advance
ment of the negro race than some of
|her sister states. Mr. Shipman said
he told the convention that the bet
ter class of negro labor in North
.Carolina had fro some time ibeen en
gaged in building highways,-install
ing water and sewer systems and in
construction work of various kinds
and that comparatively few willing
workers of any character were idle
in North Carolina. ,
He said he was convinced that the
negro Is not n welcome. vls)tox in the
North, declaring that many of the
big corporations use him for purely
commercial purposes and that society
generally resents his presence.
i Tho Toronto meeting. Mr. Shlp
' man reported, was largely attended
by representative*! from the States.
I tho Canadian provinces and by high
officials of the British government.
Subjects vital to the solution of un
employment. international in scope,
were discussed .by prominent labor
officials from all of the countries
represented.
The subject of negro migration to
the N'Tirth was touched upon by many
speakers. reported .Mr. Shipman.
who said lie was called on to answer
Is being construed as meaning that
a death blow has been struck at the
managing agent system and that
hereafter the Government will
have to continue in direct
operation of Its ships until
such time as private owners nre
ready to pay the price the Govern
ment wants. Any other subterfuge
which enabhes private persons to
use Government ships and allow ac
cumulated commissions to apply on
a future purchusc price is not likely
to have tho approval of Congress,
where it seems now the whole matter
will have to be threshed out with the
probability that little will be accom
plished for many months to come.
many questions concerning the ef-l
Ivets of the migration on the South,
he being the only representative at
the convention (rom the Southern
states.
Besides reporting on employment
conditions in North Carolina, Mr.
Shipman served on the nominating
committee which recommended the
election of E. J. lienning. assistant
secretary to the Secretary of labor of
I the Cnited States, as president of the
association, and Francis I. Jones; a
member of the associations' execu
tive committee. Chicago was select
ed as the meeting place for the 1924
convention. Mr. Sbfpman reported.
