VIRGINIA BARRIERS TO
CONTINUE FIGHT

Richmond, Va (CNS)-Means of
preventing the passage in the fu-
ture of barber bill such as was
defeated at the recent session of
the Virginia Legislature after a
bitter contest, were discussed on
Sunday by the fifty delegates in
attendance at the convention of the
BARRIERS Protective Association of
Virginia, made up of Negro BORDERS
from all parts of the State.
They are planning to oppose the
substitute bill which was introduced
in the State Senate, following the
defeat of the original bill which
provided for the examination and
certifcation of the BARRIERS in the
State.
The new bill which authorizes the
creation of State Barber Board
with only a licensing power, and
retaining the original provision for
eighteen months apprenticeship will
be required before a man may be-
come a licensed barber, was OPP
proved by the Senate Committee on
General Laws.
The revised measure leaves ply
steal examinations and health tests
of BARRIERS up to the State Board of
Health, and provides that no other
examination of any sort shall be
made by the Barber Board.
The BARRIERS will base their OPP
position of the measure on the
contention that the creation of the
board will lead to increasing State
regulation of the barbering profess

New York (CNS)-The number
of unemployed Negroes is not less
than $4,000, according to an es-
innate of the National Urban
League of New York City whose
Departments of Industrial Relations
and Research have made a careful
analysis Of figures gathered from
all sections of the country as part
of surveys of unemployed people
in several of the principal cities.
T. Arnold Hill, who heads the
Industrial Department of the
League, states that Unemployment
among Negroes due to causes other
than inability to find wori ~
certainly total 100000, exclusive
of the unemployed farmers. This
figure is more apt to be understated
than exaggerated considering the
changes that have occurred since
the last census and unemployment
of various kinds due to causes
other than failure to find employ
ment."
Continuing, Mr.. Hill says: "The
disparity between the Negroes and
white people unemployed in Buffalo
is shown by recent report of the

certain evidents in American history,
this of course would be an extremely
trivial thing; there is no reason in logic
why the name of any race should be
capitalized, and in some languages, as
for example the French and the German
it is not. But in our language the names
of races are capitalized, and that in the
United States the Negro race alone
should have been esignated by small
letter can hardly have been the result
of accident. 1t seemed to reflect the
conviction of the white man in our early
days that the Negro was in some way
inferior to other races. Thatthe prac-
