Efforts to Get Negro Workers on U.S. Projects Unsuccessful While reports Wash niUCM show that unemployment in 'creased 2.9 per cent during Oct ober, reports from the National Urban league show that the Negro, in scores of cities, is faring much more gravely than the general average. The Urban league reports that tiie Negro is losing hundreds of jobs of ordinary character where he js gaining a few jobs of extra ordinary nature. These reports re 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 Hesl.ip. P' c:: dent and Francis B. Stradford. f >: - mer president, to an investigation of reports of blanket discrimina tion against Negroes on tile Bould er Dam project in Nevada. On this gigantic public pro. -t. constructed with the money of the citizens of the nation, where th su sands of men are employed, 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 unemployed black citizens who have camped at Las Vegas h is been an intelli gent laborer named Walter W. Hamilton. Hamilton h's written repeated letters to President Hoover, to Dr Elwood Mead, commissioner of th. bureau of reclamation in th-? 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 contracting 1 firm which won the bid for the i construction of the dam. From no source whatever has. Mr. Hamilton been able tn got action. His remonstrations to Six Companies, Inc., have received sentence replies of acknowledge ment, His letters t o President Hoover have been merely referred to the bureau of reclamation. His letters to the United States em ployment commissioner have been acknowledge with filled-in forms stating that there will be no more openings for months. Dr. Mead, working in the de- i partment of the interior ima.»- p r l Ray Lyman Wilbur, g? ■■ a more 1 evasive details in •: r dirs. Hei writes Mr. Hamilb-n that he is I very sorry, but the t'm. erwnt : has let the contract to this private company and that there was no stipulation in the contract as to employes except that ex-service men should be given first choice and American citizens second. But all the ex-service men and i all Hie citizens Six Companies. I Inc., 7s employing are WHITE. 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 seems invalid in the light of other steps taken by the reclamation bureau.

Later, in September the employment office for the dam was moved from tile site into the city of Las Vegas and all employ ment placed directly under the supervision of Leonard Blood, the United States employment com missioner. The United States now does the hiring, contract or no contract, but no black citizens or ex-service men are hired. I Conditions on another national [government project were de scribed 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 Rosedale to Natchez. These 4.000 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 cited of men having been flogged mercilessly with ploy lines, and in some eases other men were said to have been struck down by blows on the head from revolver butts. Laborer in jured in performance of duty, through no fault of their own, not only were given no compensation i for their injuries, but in manv | cases were not paid for the lost । time. [ Wages for common labor in I many camps is as low as 75 cents a ' day for working periods of be ' tween 12 and 13 hours long, and [no overtime is paid in manv 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 i camps and barracks provided for i Russia." were forced to purchase [ food from contractors' commissar ies. where exorbitant prices were charged and no outside merchants were permitted t o vend their wares in the camps. In some com missaries a flat sum of $4.50 a week was taken from a laborer’s pay whether he obtained any sup plies or not. and in one case a crew worked 439 days at promised wages of $549. but were actually paid only $144. Another depressing report in re gard to the Negro's economic future is that of the new cotton picking machine, perfected b y government experts, for the bene fit of the white cotton farmer in |i!.e south and to throw more than ia million Negro cotton pickers in i’he south out of jobs. Ever since 'the World war. poor whites in the I south have been grabbing off the work of various kinds that the Negro used to do. Movement:; have ben started to force white employ ers to discharge Negro workers. In the trades in various 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 I the parental hanci of the govern ment to deprive the Negro of b . I means of livelihood who:' . short cotton is grown. ' All of those aspects of the m-c. .trial situations, discrimination ? [ private and public enterprise ar i 'the mechanization of agncultu.... pursuits are creating, not only a i problem in living for trie Negro, i but a social problem of vast in: port for the American nation Th" | disease and crime which follow in the wake of poverty will directly .affect Hie cn’iie nation if an indif ' ferent and prejudiced nine-tenths I permit the other one-tenth of the 'nation to be reduced to mendi- cancy.

Endorses Campaign FOR EMin.OYMENT MEMPHIS. Tenn., Dec 11 Tiie hist meeiing of .li” vwir I ■■ 'the Independent Negro I’-usua ; and Givi'' Association xw s held on Tiie clay 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 LeMoyne college. Professor Georg-? Hi rider son. president of Henderson Busi ness college. Mrs. Jones and Editor James Washington of the Western World Reporter, were four of the outstanding visitors present. Seve 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 ot quickening race’ consciousness in building up Negro trade and orga nization. Prof. Latimer, sponsor of the campaign, presented his views to the’ Negro Business Asso ciation Tuesday night, and request ed that this organization help sup port the campaign. Prof. Latimer stated in part; “Negro merchants are indepen dents and as such they are in a desperate struggle with the huge corporations who control chains ot stores and usually the sources ot raw materials and the factories tor possessing tb.e raw materials. In this cut-throat competition the in dependents try to give something to their customers which the chain stores don't give in order to get customer:'.” The association readily endorsed the spirit of tiie campaign of Le- Moyne college, because it is funda mentally tb.e same kind of move ment that members of the associa tion have been interested in. Dr. Walker said ’hat many N? fro busi nesses are giving students of this city an opportunity to learn some thing about the practical sOe <4 business by letting them work in stores, and office:? So if the Umo should come when jobs are open ’d for the young Negro college grad uate. he will have some familiarity with his work. Dr Walker advanced two recom mendations to the association for its consideration. The first was that the executive secret;'.:? for the as sociation be selected with enough duties to warrant the payment of a salary. The purpose of such a sec retary would be lo make i ontiiet with th" peblie. stud" Negro busi ness conditions of this city, make surveys .anti report to the bory from time to time the opportunity of placing Negroes in positions, i Somcb idv would have to be on I the i Ji al’ Hie ti";e to do this suc c»ssfiiliy. T'?e second recommenda -1! .a v ' concerned with a publicity bureau Th" president believes that ibe Negro Business Assuciation rhoul.l have an official publication through which the masses of people could be constantly informed ot their cnnmnic status.
