We All Like Tacoma

MANY persons who come to Taco
ma for the first time from the South
and East inquire for the colored
people's section of the city and when
we tell them there is no such thing, |
thew seem much surprised. Tacoma |
has no segregated section. Our race |
lives in all sections of the town and
in peace with their white neighbofs. |
Tacoma is one of the finest cities IN
the country with some of the finest
white and black people in the world
living in it. Colored boys and girls
90 to the best schools and receive
equal treatment with the whites. we
have our choice of churches without
discrimination and even in the courts
Il Is our observation that colored law
breakers are leniently dealt with.
The only drawback to Tacoma as an
ideal city for our race Is the lack oil
emnloyment. Outside of few Jan
tor Jobs. hotel jobs and barber shop
places, there is little opportunity Tor
our group to find work. This con-
dition is partly our own fault as the
writer has been told by many con-
| tractors that they never have any
applications for work from coiored
| people. They have wanted to Know
why it was so. If more of our group
will apply for jobs in various lines
and not lust think that these ave.
nues are closed to them, they Will
find many more avenues Of employ
ment omen to the race. During the
tourist season it often occurs that
Southerners who come here try to
introduce their prejudices and induce
our merchants, cafes, hotels and
amusement places to discriminate
against our group. So far they have
met with very little success. Taco
ma is a cosmopolitan city oelleVlhg;
| in equal treatment to all races ana
] | nationalities.
