DEWEY AND JONES
ARRANGE PLANS
FOR EMPLOYMENT


Joseph s. Jackson, Secretary of
the Seattle branch of the National
Urban League, announced to the
Enterprise this morning that Ne
gro workers will be employed at
Grand coulee Dam, government
supervised reclamation project. af-
ter several trips to the site by Ur-
ban League officials and two such
visits by men in government SER
vice.
Arrangements have been made
to accommodate eligible workers in
just proportion to population and
other qualifications" Mr.. Jackson
said.
Negroes employed will have
equal chances for advancement
from unskilled to skilled labor and
doubtless the majority chosen viii
come from the Seattle and spo-
kane areas"
Grand Coulee Dam, located 90
miles frem Spokane, has accom-
moiatiors for twelve hundred
workers but according to Mr.. Jack
son. fourteen hundred workers al
ready are crowded into the bar
racks, making Il necessary for new
employees to live outside the Off
cial area set aside for them.
A written agreement relative to
opportunities for workers at Grand
Coulee was brought back by Mr..
Jackson.
while there" said Mr.. Jackson,
orders were received by Grand
Coulee officials for the employ
ment of fifty new men. Several
Negro workers probably viii be in
cluded in this number"
Mr.. Jackson requests that all
men interested in skilled or un-
skilled labor to report to the Ma
tfonal Unemployment Service of
flee, POPS Bird Ave, where applica-
tions can be filled out.
The employment of Negro labor
at Grand Coulee Dam has come a.
bout as result of Mr.. Jackson's
efforts and those of Dewey r.
Jones, assistant advisor on Negro
Affairs, Department of Interior,
at Washington, D. c. Mr.. Jack
son accompanied Mr.. Jones to
Grand Coulee the early part of this
week where final arrangements
were made for the accommodation
of Negro workers on the Grand
Coulee Dam project.

ICNES SAYS
HARD TIMES
AIDED NEGRO


CHICAGO (ANPl = In very
real and fundamental sense, the
Negro has profited more from the
depression than has any other
class Of American citizens, secre-
tary Of the Interior Harold Ickes
told the Chicago Urban League on
Wednesday night
Not only did Iclxes point out the
various advantages accruing from
the depression but also declared
that the Republican party had re-
paid the Negroes loyalty only by
large scale exploitation between
election years. White and Negro
leaders were present as the Roose-
welt Cabinet member praised the
New Deal at the 10th anniversary
dinner held down town at the Steu-
ben Club.
Not only has the Negro been be-
nefitted materially by the depres-
sion but there has come into being
deep bond of sympathy between
the two races heretofore non-exist-
ent which will not vanish In the
future, the Secretary asserted.
1.-THE Negro. from the time he
was brought unwillingly to these
shores, even until the present. has
been the victim Of exploitation, de-
clared Ickes, adding that Lincoln,
the emancipation. was not able to
give the economic freedom so sore
ly needed. Colored citizens have
been segregated into ghettos charg-
ed exorbitant rents for sub-stand-
ard houses and have paid higher
rates than whites for all services
not required by law to be uniform.
pair more than his fair share of
local taxes and received compara-
lively few municipal benefits. he
asserted.
However, the Negro cannot be
held blameless as part of this
comes from the willing acquies-
ence" of Negroes to political explo-
itation. Taught to believe the Re-
publicans were responsible for the
freedom, the Aframerican has be-
lieved it necessary to express gra-
titude by blindly following the
party, the secretary pointed out.
From the time of the Civil War
until 1882, the Republican party
deliberately and in cold blood ex-
pie tied the Negro" said Ickes. He
pointed out instances in which the
COP was saved only by the votes
of Negroes who did not benefit.
Gradually the darger races began
to see something was wong"
After coming to the conclusion
it was bad practice to vote blind
ly for any party and seeing how
the groups used their political
power for the groups advantage,
thousands deserted the Republican
ranks in 1882 in order to get, not
special privileges, but a New Deal
equal to that accorded others, the
cabinet member declared.
And there has been a New Deal
