He stated before he died that Silk had shot him because hc had insisted he knew nothing about the thefts. Silk was arrested and charged with murder. Last week he was tried. He was represented by Attorney Isadore Rich who. not long ago. freed three white men of the murder of a Negro. Shortly after Silk's arrest. he admitted to the same story as told by Verder on his deathbed. But when the trial came. he changed He brought his 16-vear-old sister into the story. The claim was mad» that she had failen in love with a colored man and that Silk's worry over this had driven him into a state of emotional insanity which caused him to lose control of him self and shoot Verder. Strange as it may seem. such testimony was paraded before the jury with emphasis laid upon its bearing on the murder. The jury found Silk guilty of manslaughter.

Projects Unsuccessful | While reports from Washingten show that unemployment mn !creascd 29 per cent during Oct ober, reports from the National iUrbnn league show that the Negro, in scores of cities, is faring much more gravely than the general average. The Urban league reports that the Negro is losing hundreds of jobs of ordinary character where he js gaining a few jobs of extra ordinary nature. These reports rc flect the trend in private enter prise. | But just as serious is the aspect of conditions in public enterprise when national projects are consid ered. So grave has the condition become that the National Bar As sociation has recently turned its efforts, through Jesse Heslip. presi dent and Francis B. Stradford. for mer president, to an investigation of reports of blanket discrimina tion against Negroes on the Bould er Dam project in Nevada. On this gigantic public project, constructed with the money of the citizens of the nation. where thou sands of men are empioyed, not one Negro has ben given a chance to earn his bread. : | " For more than six months, the National Bar Association reports. futile efforts to obtain employment for Negroes on this project have been made with men on the ground. The leader of unemployved black citizens who have camped at Las Vegas has been an intelli gent laborer named Walter W. Hamilton. Hamilton has written repeated letters to President Hoover, to Dr. Elwood Mead, commissioner of the bureau of reclamation in tho de partment of the interior, who is in direct charge of the Boulder Dam project, to Leonard Blood, the United States employment com-. missioner at Las Vegas, and to| various officials of Six Companies. | Inc., the San Francisco ('fmrmr,'ﬁn';'! firm which won the bid for tho; constructicn of the dam. ; From no scurce whatever has Mr. Hamiiton been able to get action. His remonstrations to Six Companies, Inc, have received sentence replies of acknowledoe ment. His letters t o President Hoover have been merely referred to the bureau of reclamation. His letters to the United States em ployment eommissioner have been acknowledge with filled-in forms stating that there will be no more openings for months. Dr. Mead, working in the de-| partment of the interior under Dr. | Ray Lyman Wilbur. =03 inio more evasive details in his renplics. He‘ writes Mr. Hamilton that he is very sorry, but the ,sw,v.::':xm.'-nti has let the contract to this private company and that there was no stipulation in the contract as to employves cxcept that ex-service men should be given first choice and American citizens second. But all the ex-service men and | all the citizens Six Companies, | Inc., s employing are WHITEL. The company has turned down all black ex-service men and all black citizens. | Dr. Mead's avowal that the gov ernment has no contractual or right t o supervise employment problems on the dam scems invalid in the light of other steps taken by the reclamation bureau.

The United States now does the hiring, contract or no contract, but no black citizens or ex-service men are hired. { Conditions on another national lgovernment project were de seribed this week in a report made to President William Green of the American Federation of Labor by . Thomas E Ca'roll and Holt Ross, ‘two of the federation representa tives. They detailed the treatment being accorded more than 4.000 Negro laborers by river levee con tractors in the Vicksburg, Miss., area from Roscdale to Natchez These 4000 were described as being enmeshed in a tangle of peonage, brutality and extortion under a system employed by the contractors and sub-contractors. Numerous cases were ciled of men having been flogged mercilessly with ploy lines, and in some cases other men were said to have been struck down by blows on the head from revolver butts. = Laborer in-| jured in performance of dut_v,‘ through no fault of their own, not| !nnly were given no compensation for their injiiries.. but in many }(‘EIF(‘S weré not paid for the lost | time. | Wages for common labor in imany camps is as low as 75 cents a . day for working periods of be :twecn 12 and 18 hours long and 10 - overlime is paid iIn many camps for work in excess of 12 12 hours a day. described as comparable only to “forced and indentured labor of | Inmates of camps, which were ;r':xmps and barracks provided for Russia’” were forced to purchase food from contractors' commissar ’;(~ where exorbitant prices were ichen‘;{('ci and no outside merchants were permitted t o vend their wares in the camps.

Another depressing report in re gard to the Negro's economic future is that of the new cotton picking machine. perfected b ¥ government experts. for the bene fit of the white cotton farmer in ‘\';;(- south and to throw more than 'a million Negro cotton pickers in |the south out of jobs. Ever since ‘the World war, poor whites in the i south have been grabbing cff the work of various kinds that the Negro used to do. Movements have ben started to force white employ ers to discharge Negro workers. In the trades in varicus cities the Ne gro has been supplanted by whites Whites in a score of instances have attacked Negroes employed on road construction gangs, and in Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri, the Negro cotton picker has been terrorized and harassed !by the hungry white. Now comes the cotton-picking machine from ‘the parental hand of the govern !mrnt to deprive the Negro of his means of livelihood wherever !:hmt cotton is grown. | All of these aspects of the indus trial situations, discrimination in private and public enterprise and ?lhe mechanization of agriculturul ‘)pursui'ws: are creating, not only a problem in living for the Negro ibut a social problem of vast im port for the American nation.

EKndorses s 5 Campaign > Ty FOR EMPLOYMENT MEMPHAIS Tenn,. Doe 11 The ast meeting of ine vear | the Independent Newgro fhusine:ss and Civie Association was held on Tuesday night at the Universal Lite auditorium. Dr. J. E. Walker, presi dent, presided over the small but spirited group of business men who had braved the inclement weather to carry on the program of the or ganization. Professor I. Latimer of LeMovne colicge, “Professor George Hender son, president of Henderson Busi ness college, Mrs. Jones and Editor James Washington of the Western World Reporter, were four of the outstonding visitors present. Scve ral students attended the meeting for the educational value, A special campaign now in pro cess is being carried on by Le- Moyne college for the purpose of quickening race consciousness in building up Negro trade and orga nization. Prof. Lafimer, sponsor of the campaign, presented his views to the Negro Business Asco ciation Tuesdayv night, and request ed that this organization help siip port the campaign. Prof. lLatimer stated in part: “Negro merchants are indepen dents and as such they are in a desperate struggle with the huge corporations who control chains of stores and usually the sources ot raw materials and the factories for possessing the raw materials. In this cut-throat competition the in dependents try to give scmething to their customers which the chain stores don't give in order to get customers.” The association readily endorsed the spirit of the campaign of Le- Moyne college. because it is funda mentally the same kind of move ment that members of the associa tion have been interested in. Dr. Walker said that many Negro busi nesses are giving students of this city an opportunity to learn some thing about the practical side of business by letting them work iu stores. and offices. So if the time should come when jobs are opened for the young Negro college grad-| uate, he will have some familiarity with his work. ‘ Dr .Walker advanced two recom mendations to the association forl its consideration, The first was that the exccutive secretary” for the as sociation be selected with enough duties to warrant the payvment ot a salary. The purposc of such a so('-} retary would be to make contact with the prblic. study Negro bust ness conditions of this city, mukc1 surveys ,and report to the bory from time to time the ()})p()l‘tlll’li'}" of placing Negroes in positions. Somebody would have to be on the job all the time to do this suc cossfuliv. The second recommenda tian wos concerned with a publicity | burean. The president believes 1h:|!i the Negro Business Association shoul:d have an official publiv;nmn‘ through which the masses of peonle could be constantly informed ot their ¢-onomic status. The spirit | of the two recommendations \\'.’Ib‘-; endorsed by the association. but do tails for execution are to be work cd out later.
