Newbern, N. C., Dec. 2.-Approxi-
mately 1200 persons, most of them ne-j
groes, were made homeless when
about 200 residences, two churches,'
two warehouses, and several small
stores were destroyed, and loss esti-
mated at $1,000,000, was caused by fire
which late Friday swept 20 blocks in
the western section of Newbern.
The flame, starting in the negro sec-
tion, gained great headway before, a
high wind at the start because the lo-
cal fire department was engaged on
the opposite side of the town at the
Roper Lumber company sawmill.

(By Associated Press)
Detroit, Dec. 2.-Business condi-
tions in Michigan at this time are such
as to give added weight to his pre-
diction, made a month ago, to the ei-
feet that this state early next year
will enter upon the greatest period of
prosperity it ever has known, accord-
ing to a statement issued to The Asso-
ciated Press by John L. Lovett, of De-
troit, secretary-treasurer of the Michi-
gan Manufacturers' Association.
Mr. Lovett generally is credited with
being in closer touch with mahufac-
turing and business conditions of the
state as a whole than any other per-
son in Michigan, as he makes frequent
surveys of these conditions.
Labor to be Scarce
In his statement a month ago the
secretary-manager predicted that
within the next few months Michigan
would be turning out manufactured
articles at a rate never before realized,
that labor would be scarce, due to
the unprecedented prosperity, that ri-
val firms would be bidding' against
each other for employes, that wages
would go higher, and that the state's
