Negroes Should Return
South
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 19—Plenty of farm and mill work, better
wages than ever before paid and improved living conditions await Southern
negroes who have gone to the North and who are now said to be clamoring to
return to the South, according to employers here.
Southern farmers and plantation owners want the southern
negroes back. If there were some method of getting in touch with them it is
declared the expense of their return to Dixie would be willingly borne. This
will hold especially true for the next few weeks, because there is need of
negroes who know how to take care of the cotton crop.
But these employers say they do not want northern-born and
reared negroes. They would prefer to bring in foreign labor they assert.
