Eighth Avenue subway. No white Of
fetal in public life has manifested a
deeper interest in Harlem and its
people than Commissioner Ryan, who
believes in equality of opportunity
for all citizens.
And another case from a news
story the same paper:
The Remington-Rand company,
downtown makers Of typewriters and
billing machines had never had COL
cred girls in their employ. They had
never been asked to instruct colored
girls in the use Of the machines.
Those in authority openly declared it
was their opinion that colored girls
would not receive cordial treatment
from the white students and workers
Girls Overcome Prejudice.
C. C. Huitt, president of the Dun
bar National Bank, asked the Reming-
ton-Rand company to take on two
girls from the bank staff for instruc-
tion on the modern bank balancing
machines.
Those in authority were reluctant
but after some persuasion on the part
Of Mr. Huitt that the company heads
forget about prejudice and the fact
that the girls were colored, they fin
ally agreed to give the Dunbar appli-
cants a chance-because of the ex-
pressed confidence in their ability to
make the grade. Two young women
were selected and sent downtown for
instruction. They finished the very
hard course in the prescribed time,
without any student ever having com.
planned about them.
Asked some few days after the
girls had completed the course what
do you thing of them now?" Reming-
ton-Rand managers replied: "The
only complaint we have is that they
led the class all the way. Send us as
many as you want, anytime"

MAYOR MCKEE TOLD HOW FEW
NEGROES HAVE JOBS ON NEW
YORK CITY PRJEcTS.

New York, Sept 23.-New York
Citys new Mayor, Joseph v. Mckee,
has been informed how few Negroes
are employed on municipal building
and other projects in this city, and has
been asked, in a letter sent by the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, to see to it
that the citys Negro artisans are CIV
en- a fair shire of public work.
Roy wilkins. N.A.A.C.P. Assistant
Secretary, states:
eve have been informed from reli-
able sources that not one Negro Ia
borer or mechanic is or has been en-
ployed on the West Side Express
Highway which is being built by the
Borough of Manhattan.
eve have likewise been informed
that only four Negroes have been en-
ployed on the construction of the
Bronx County Court House.
"In all the construction on the new
Rikers Island Penitentiary, we have
been told by the only Negro mechanic
employed there that only three Ne
groes have been employed thereon in
one time, and that there now is only
one. This piece Of construction has
engaged the services of as many as
5000 men and 1 am sure you will
agree that the employment of three
Negroes is not fair proportion of
such work.
"a careful study has disclosed that
at the present time in all the public
school construction in progress in all
the boroughs of the city, not more
than ten colored persons are employ.
ed
"a similar study at the Fordham
Hospital at Cetonia and Fordham
Roads discloses that not a single Ne.
gro is being employed there"
The Association reports that of
about 5000 competent Negro brick lay
ers in the city, most are out of work

uptown and downtown stations.
Appeals have been sporadically
made in recent years to managers of
the 81" and subway that Negroes be
assigned as cashiers at Harlem sta
tions large patronized by the race,
but outside of polite letters of ack-
nowledgment from Interborough Rap
i'd Transit officials giving some f1imsy
excuse for not being able to comply
with request, nothing tangible has
ever some of the agitation.
While the sight of Negro making
change in a booth is not altogether
new, as porters in caps and working
clothes sometimes temporarily relieve
regular cashiers at downtown 81"
stations, New York is now witnessing
for the first time full-fedged money
changers of dusky hue. 1t also is COM
forting to know that the usual custom
of employing Negro porters for sub
way and 81" stations has been adj
hered to by the new line.

"Pop" Warner to Be
 Heard in Interview

Glenn s. Pop" Warner. football coach at Leland-stanford Univer- sity and largely responsible for the development of modern football. will be-. interviewed by Christy Walsh during the All-America Football show to be broadcast over the NABC-Columbia network from 9:00 to 9:3O p. m. EST. to- night.
 Other features of the broadcast will include Harry won zell's des- crIptions of exciting moments from big games of the past week in "eye- witness form, Walsh's latest list of weekly All-America Ratings, and college airs by Freddie Rich'a band and Andre Kostelanetz's male chorus.
 Warner, graduate of Cornell University, has been head coach at Stanford since 1924. Before that he coached at his own alma mater and at Iowa State, Pittsburgh and Georgia. Another coaching assign ment early in his career was at the Carlisle Indian school, where he discovered and developed the famous Indian players, Chief Ben der and Jim Thorpe.
 Warner undoubtedly has contri- buted more than any living coach to the development of football as 1t is now played, and the "Warner system" has exerted Q strong in. fiuence on styles of play through. out the country. It emphasizes mobility and deception on the of fense, with both speed and power in the backfeld. Undoubtedly Warner will divulge the fundamen. tai Ideas of his style of play dur. ing his chat with Walsh.
