Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, PECEMBER 16, 1931 Urban League Survey Shows Race Gets Charity, F ewJo 106 GITIES ARE STUDIED FAQN BOTH NOATH T NEW YORK, Dec. 16, (Special) While the depression and the unem ployment situation in the United States has brought unusual hard ships to all racial and nationahistic groups, it has been more severe on the Negro than any other group, a recent survey by the National Ur buan League has disclosed. In the re port of this survey which has been printed in an attractive pamphlet and issucd through the Department of Industrial Relations of the Leapgue of which 'T. Arnold Hill is director. One hundred and six cities were listed in which more than 3,000,000 Negroes, or 58 per cent of the en tire urban population, and every significant place of the uncmploy ment problem as it affects Negroes has been touched upon. “In no place are conditions satis factory although there are slight signs of improvement in sonie sec tions,” a summary of the report siates. ‘ “As to the South, which is betler off than the rest of the nation, the states of Kentucky, and North car olina seem least troubled with un employment; but Houston, Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis and Rich mond tell a different story. In the Fast and Middle West, no state is in pood shope, although there are cities in these areas that appear to have advantage over others, Prad tically all of New York, Neéw Jer sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Kansas report heavy unemploy ment,” Plenty of Charity The report, commenting on the attitude of public and charity of ficials toward the Negro in this crisis. comments on the fact that there is a growing tendency on the part of these officials to issue char ity donations rather lavishiy while withholding work from those who seck jobs. “Time and again have Negroes begged for work and scorned char ity,” the report sums up, *but char ity is what they are getting. We may expect them soon to scorn work and demand charity. 1'ne dole is rapidly becoming the accepted policy of relieving distress among Necroes and just as rapidly being accepted by them without protest In such an extremily as they find thomselves today they have no al ternative. It is charity or starva tion.” o Jobhs Taken An interesting fact reveaied by the r¢oort iz that whites 1o many narls of the country are nsw per forroir @ task: once thoug.it {9 be exc'us vely for Negroes. 1In the Gouth where Nesroes once perform od all tha domedic work tov fami lics that could afford to have serv ontls. the jobs are being taken over cystematically by white domestics who, due. to stringent condtions, Ave wrilling to scrub floors, cook and even d» the washing aned iron inee This hos interferred serviously With families where the Negro woman had heretofore contributed’ enhetantially to the support of her children by her domestic Iabors. While this sitnation is more un neual in the South, the South 1y net atone in the practiee of s1n planting Negroes with white dod mestics and common laborers, Hui report shows. Among northern ci {ics where this is prevalent are Denver, Waterbury, Augusta, Wil minuton (Del). Columbls, (Ga,), Springficld (I, Wichita. Enole food. Montelair, Orange. Plamfield New York City, White Plains, Cam den. Cleveland and Youngstown. Communism The report has given several paragraphs to Comrnunism among Meoroes as a direct outgrowth of the unemplovment situation. “Communists have sought Negro adherents in all large industrial conters.” it declares. “Atlanta, Bir mingham and Washington have been infected as well as New York, Dotroit and Warren Oklahoma City and South Bend have not been free from it. However, only in a fow cities has pronounced headway been made. Chicago is seething with Communistic activities and in New York the movement has many fol lowers. Considerable propaganda has been spread throughout India apolis. Commentators cite the fail nire of Negroes to get an ‘even break' in employment as the chief cause of their interest in Commun ism. but that efforts to organize them for concerted action have fail ed, It is a fair assumption, how ever. that Communism is on the increase and that the tendency to ward any economic device foreign to our conveational system is gain ing friends among Negroes even though definite allignments are comparatively few.” Stures that advertise in The Woaorld want your trade.
