Through the experiences and
training received in the C C C
camps boys learn how to work
together. Experience and training
afforded by the CCC has helped
many of these Negro boys to Sc
| cure employment. The specialized
knowledge gained by filling such
positions as mess-sergeant, COM
pany clerk, assistant educational
advisor, leaders, store clerk and
manager, foreman. and first aid
men has proved valuable to these
Negro boys in the Civilian Con.
servation Corps. At present regular
employment is given to 1000 Col
ored cooks and 800 Colored typists
in the CCC. In Boston, March 20
1886, DR.. Robert C. Weaver, Negro
advisor to the Secretary of the In.
terror, Hon. Harold L. Ickes, gave
a departmental estimate of $25, OOO,-
J 600 expended under the Federal
| Government in cooperation with
local committees through PWA
loans and grants for the erection
of 215 Colored elementary and high
schools buildings. This New Deal
program added 1,165 new educa-
tional classrooms and accommoda-
lions for approximate $4,000 Col
ored students. In Jefferson, Davis
and Lee counties, Mississippi, $780,
| 600 was expended under the New
| Deal administration for Colored
schools.
In Missouri ar estimated expen-
diture of $2,OO0,O0O for a new Col
ored High school and repairs of
13 existing Negro structures re-
suited from PWA financial aid I'M
der the New Deal.
A half million dollars was grant
ed by PWA New Deal officials in
Washington for school buildings
at Baltimore, Maryland, to serve
Colored students. A like sum was
made available for completion Of
the Wendell Phillips High school
in Chicago, Illinois.
A 100000 school building pro-
gram was made possible by PWA
funds in the state of Texas to in

Colored children.
Howard University, Washington,

Colored builder, have been in the
forefront of the program. ] o b
Lewis Wilson, another Colored ar
chitect. served as associate archi-
tect on the Harlem housing project
of New York. This particular model
received honorable mention in the
leading technical journals of the
country. In the building of these
Federal slum- clearance projects
during the past year, close to 80
per cent of the wages for skilled
and unskilled labor has gone to
Colored workmen, sum close to
a half million dollars, as a result
of the strict adherence to the letter
and spirit of the New Deal con-
gressional amendments and Presi-
Dental rules and regulations speci-
fically stating that there was to be
no discrimination on these jobs be-
cause Oh race or color.
In many cases it was necessary
to grant Colored workmen temper
airy union cards in order to permit
these PWA projects. In following
their immediate employment on
through on these contracts the Of
fee of the Advisor on Negro Affairs
and PWA authorities had working
agreements with all private con-
tractors which permitted check-up
to be made in the field monthly.
This rigid departmental policy has
resulted in most satisfactory par
ticipation of Colored labor in every
section of the country.
Help Negro Workers.
Employment opportunity for Col
ored workers have been initiated
also by the Interior department
and the Tennessee Valley Author
ity on the large Federal power de-
velopment projects such as Grand
Coulee and Boulder Dam and IVA.
According to H. A. Hunt, Negro
assistant to the Governor of the
Fam Credss administration, not
only are Colored farmers receiving
this important service, but they
are paying back and meeting their
obligations promptly and fully.
1t Is important also to note that,
without exception, the annual con-
ference of the local and state as
sociations are attended by the farm
ers in the south of both races.

past summer, / visited one Of the

Chicago, Illinois
October q, 1886.
To the Negro Working Men
and Women OF Chicago,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
FOUR IMPORTANT REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT!
I Because he knows the Federal
Government must be respon-
sible for taking care Of the
unemployed.
When so to 60 per cent of
all Negroes in Chicago live
on relief, it is the duty of
every Negro voter to see that
enough money is provided to
care for our fellow citizens
who have no opportunity to
care for thems elves. Very few
state and county governments
wi raise enough money to
provide this unemployment
relief. Therefore it is wise to
keep a man at the head of
the government who is will
ing to use government money
to care for the several mil
lions of our people who can
not find work.
2 Because he has used Govern
ment money to save the
homes of hundreds of Negro
families.
8 Because his policies would re-
duce rent on the Southside.
1t is common knowledge
that Negro families in Chica-
go pay rents % to SO per cent
higher than rents paid for
similar flats in other parts of
the city.
4 Because he believes the states
should pass uniform laws to
give pensions to old people,
the blind and to mothers with
dependent children.
Because of the industrial
competition, the Federal gov
eminent must step in a n
force the states to pass uni
form laws to care for the sick,
the blind, the aged, and the
mothers with dependent chill
dren.
Yours for an aggressive cam
paign among Negro workers for
the reelection of President Roose-
velt.
