New York, Dec. Goth (ANP) After
intensive effort on the part of the FAC.
the New York Urban League, the Ma
tional Urban League and other oroa,,;-
cations, the Federal Civil Work Ad-
ministration for New York State the
National Employment Service for New
York State and the State Employment
service of the State Department of La
Dor issued the following statement re-
garding the employment of Negro
workers:
There shall be no discrimination in
the selection of persons for work on
Civil Work Administration projects be-
cause of race, color, religion or poll
teal utilization. The employment of
colored persons is of particular concern.
The above organizations instruct
their local officers that a reasonable
proportion of colored persons must be
included in the quota for each district,
based on percentage of population and
any other factor of Importance. Local
employment offices will certify rea-
sonable percentage of colored persons
to local Civil Work Administration.
"Colored workers so certified must
qualify for the work to be done in the
same manner as any other person, but
their exclusion on account of race or
color will not be tolerated.
1T is urged that local offices of the
above organizations place properly
qualified colored persons as members
of their staffs."
Samuel Allen, Industrial secretary
of the New York Urban League has re-
ported that careful investiC alton of the
CWA Employment program reveals
that for the most part the CWA of New
York City is carrying out the policy
enunciated above.

For some cause, the Ministerial Ali
ance is lagring here of late. The Ali
ance has been asset to our people and
we feel that the Alliance has no right
to lag as it now doing.
We are not attempting in this article
to give the reason or cause for the lack
of interest manifested in the Alliance,
however, we do say there is reason
and cause for the lack of interest
that once existed in the Alliance l
wish to appeal to the ministers of the
city who are active ministers of the
Alliance and urge you to stand by the
Alliance as we once have done. The
Alliance must not quit, we must go on.
| know that we at least have few
ministers in the city of Meridian who
will Join whole heartily with me in
saving the Alliance Must Not Quit. We
have a good treasury; we are not broke;
the ministers are all in harmony, now
what is the cause Of this lack of inter-

Ministerial Alliance
Should Not Quit

The Colored Interdenominational
Ministerial Alliance of this city wa sor-
ganized in December 1926 with Metho-
dist, Baptist and Congregational minis
tiers. Since the organization other de-
nominations have joined whole heartily.
The Alliance functioned to great ad-
vantage to the people of Meridian for
six years, however, for the past twelve
months, it has been spasmodic in its
operation. For a number of years it
was the only organization that spoke
for the people, in general of our group,
until the Negro Civic League was or
ganized.

Garment
Factory

An effort is being made to raise $500
10000 in order that Meridian might
bring to it the Phillips Garment
Factory of New York 1t is predicted
that this will be great asset to Meri-
dian with a splendid payroll
The citizens of Meridian have been
urged to subscribe to this movement.
1t is a community project, one that will
benefit Meridian in general, therefore
both white and colored are being urged
to help put over this program.
We are reliably informed that more
than five hundred persons will be en-
ployed. 1t is also said that the entire
set-up will be practically of the white
group, therefore, the members of our
race may not be employed to any great
extent, however, if the money is to be
circulated in the city of Meridian, and
if it is to Go through white mems hands,
we may expect our share. If this Gar
ment Factory becomes a reality, /
think the members of our race will be
ksrt fited, inc 'ectly Several race
Inbers have already subscribed 1000
b we are expecting more to do so.
III this Factory is established, let is
hope that the Knitting Mil in the East
End, where colored people have been
employed by big majority, will open
up for our people. AS a race, we do
not expect the white folk to give us
everything, but we would like to share
in all projects worthwhile in Meridian.
AS a matter of fact, if the Phillips
Jones Garment Factory is established
in Meridian. the white folk will natur-
allv need few colored folk around,
and whereas we are not expecting
that the employment will be equally
distributed among white and colored,
we are respectfully asking and hoping
that some of our group will be employ
ed. We realize that if our group is to
be employed in proportion to the "a
mount of money subscribed by our
people, our people will be few and Tar
between in employment, however, the
southern white man has always con-
sidered our group in employment and
we are willing to trust him In this
particular project to help us. BY so
doing. we will in turn spend our mon
CIV with him in various ways.

On the other Negroes and other justice

this venturesome admiral and his
70 men. Perhaps two good years
of their lives away from civilized
living, and the ice party-about
30-will spend at least one bleak,
dark, Antarctic night of inaction
on the frozen wastes of the Bay
of Wales shore line.
The group will leave Boston in
the rugged barkentine, The Bear,
an ice breaker and the supply
ship Pacific Fir. They will go
through the Panama Canal to
Dunedin, New Zealand, Byrds ship
base on his last expedition. From
there the ships will proceed south
to the Bay of Whales and land the
ice party in Little America.
The Antarctic summer is our
summer and there won't be much
of it left which the explorers
reach Little America. Soon the
ships must turn back again to
New Zealand, and the ice party
will, in a sense, be stranded until
next Fall. Through the long Ant
arctic night they will merely eX-
ist, waiting for their summer,
which will come with our fall,
when they may get under way
with their major endeavors.
All of the time, if luck is with
them, the ice party will be in
communication with this comforta-
BILE continent by short wave wire
less, and newspaper readers will
known what small or large excite
ments they may have.
And perhaps year from now
the nation will learn that Byrd
has dropped from the skies to
score direct hit on the Southern
pole, and science will be indebted
for the more important achieve
ments of the second Byrd Ant
arctic expedition.
