NEW YORK.-James E. Stephens.
assemblyman from New York, has
written Governor Franklin D. Roose-
Welt urging him to request the extra
ordinary session of the state legisla-
ture to toke steps toward unemploy-
ment relief
In his letter to Governor Roose-
welt, Mr.. Stephens states:
II feel that your message to the
Extraordinary Session of the state
legislature would be lacking in es-
sence IL in your message you did not
require that the legislature should
pass some alleviating bills in respect
to the present needs of the unem-
ployed.
Il represent a community made
up of more than three hundred thou
sand eolored people. Unemployment
has touched more than one-half of
them. Knowing as you do that the
eolored man Is the last to be hired
and the first to be fired wherever in
dustry, commerce, or construction
are In operation, you must certainly
have some idea of the appalling suf-
fering which is the present expert
ence of the colored population of
New York City.
Il have been approached by the
National Association for the Adj
Yancement of Colored People. The
Harlem Board of Trade of Commerce
The Harlem Business Mems League.
and The Housewives League of Har-
lem to nave you exercise your office
in behalf of the unemployed coIored
