Population Increase

Negroes in New York as work for
the government in Washington. More
than 600 teachers in the public school
system. 1T policemen, half dozen
firemen, more than a thousand in the
street cleaning department and many
others are in city service. Then there
are a number of Negro boys and
girls in the state departments located
in New York City, the largest group
being employed in the Motor Vehicle
Bureau.
The federal service has several
thousand clerks and carriers IN the
Postoffice Department, and there are
hundreds of others in the customs
service. the internal Revenue De-
partment and in the immigration ser
vice at Ellis Island.
In Theatrical Field
New York is the theatrical center
of the country, and the various thea
tiers and places of amusement en-
ploy thousands Of Negroes. There are
several hundred musicians and actors
working out of New York, who make
Harlem their home. Then there are
others employed in the cabarets OF
llui ltlI as tFiAti .. tAAs iit AilH-
alters of Harlem all have colored
staffs, including motion picture oper-
ators, although the managers of most
of the houses are white.
In this connection it might be noted
that several Negroes have built up
good businesses operating booking Of
fees for musical organizations and
bands The famous Clef Club was
one of the pioneer Negro clubs to
conduct a successful booking bust
ness. Deacon Johnson was another
pioneer. Now the most successful
probably. in this line is Bert Hail
president of the Rhythm Club. which
is conducted as a headquarters foi
Negro musicians in Harlem.
Harlem beauticians number legion
and there are realtors, undertakers
hotel proprletors and a miscellaneous
assortment OF other business men.
Then there are the social service
organizations and churches that Mr.
Hall mentions. along with the largest
group of physicians, dentists. lawyers
and druggists that may be found il
any Negro community in the world
1t will be noted that nothing ha'
been said about Negroes in the yaf
Gus manufacturing establishments il
New York. The reason is that thu
number is so scattered it is hard tC
pet a line on those in the various in
dustries Of this type. However, il
may be added that there are severa
hundred Negro workers in the cloth
ing industry in this city, working il
various phases Of TIL making o.
, mems, womens and children's Goth

The rapil growth of several cities

the migration of certain industries

the fact that a number of Southern
