MRS. MCMILLIN
URGES MERIT
IN SERVICE
BY ]. EARLE MOSER


Speaking over the radio this
morning as the second annual
observance of establishment of the
National Civil Service act came
to an end. Mrs. Lucille Foster
McMillin, member of the Civil
Service Commission, pointed out
the frequency with which the rule
Of three" is found in the Govern.
ment service and added that there
are three established methods OF
getting a job under Uncle Sam.
The first, she pointed out, is the
spoils system, in which respective
qualifications of applicants have
little to do with their securing EN-
ployment, their vote-getting abll-
tiles standing foremost. DeScrlb-
ing patronage, she said:
"The spOilS system Is like
POpe'S lines on vice, in that no
matter how frightful its mien,
many public men seem first to
endure, then pity and then en-
brace it as q means for filling
nOnelective positions"
The second method, she said, Is
the noncompetitive examination
system, which she described as an
improvement because at least ut
recognizes the need for a showing
Of qualifications to perform the
duties of a particular position"
Terming the merit system the
greatest, however, she added:
"The third method is named
on an ascending scale because it
Is the competitive examination
system, known popularity and
properly as the merit system.
Under this system the taxpay.
erS of the country, who pay the
bills regardless of the political
party in power, are given OppOr-
tunity to compete for Federal
employment on the basis Of
their relative qualifications for
the performance of duty. Only
thus may the new slogan Of the
League of Women Voters find
the man
for the job, not the job for the
man."
AS for "threes" in the service,
Mrs. McMillin pointed out that
there are three civil service COM
miSsioners, that the civil service
system comprises applicants. eligi-
bles and appointees. and that ter
limitations in the Government serv-
ice are either by reduction in
force, charges involving ineffi-
cheney or misconduct. or by recep-
ton of an annuity upon reaching
retirement age or total disability.
She also urged merit principles
for State and local governments
in addition to the Federal, which
are three branches Of similar
activity.

Coincidence.

Something invariably seems to
happen to E. Claude Babcock,
A. F. G. E. leader, when he ven
lures out of town. Recently he
was Slugged in Chicago and
robbed. Attending a meeting of
New York city employees Friday
at st. Nicholas Rink, the place
caught fire. Mr.. Babcock and
$500 of his listeners went down
the fire escape as sirens screamed.

New Jobs Due

Announcement has been made
for a civil service examination that
is invariably popular because its
requirements are not usually up
in the clouds-attendant male
or femaIe) at st. Elizabeths Hos
pital. Likewise, however, the salary
Is pretty we'll below the clouds, be-
ing but $1,000 per year to start
but there is no reason to prevent
a post-probationary from effecting
a transfer. 1t is also said by a well
known doctor at St. Elizabeths
that the work is usually very pleas
ant, most of the patients being
tractable, though night shifts are
involved.
A mental test will be the main
issue and applicants must be be-
tween 18 and 35 and have top
notch health. The test closes re-
ceipt of applications Wednesday.

WHITE FL VS.
HOODED
CULT
(By Leonard ii. TrOutman)

"The best friends of Com
munism in America are their most
CONSPICUOUS opponents like Will
liam Randolph Hearst, the Black
Legion and other organizations of
that type" said Leroy G. White,
president of the Hamtramck Self
Respect League, at recent poll
tical meeting. White who has been
speaking before Democratic gath
erings in the First Congressional
District in behalf of Stephen A.
Majewski, Democratic candidate
for Congress in that district, said
that the foes of Communism are
tanning spark in order that they
might bring about situation SINH
lar to the one now existing in
Spain, so as to be able to set up
their Fascist state.
White pointed out that to avert
this situation in America it is es-
sential that the citizens elect to
public office only liberal officials
who will not tolerate this type Of
un-Americanism
White lauded the record Of Ste
phen A. Majewski former Mayor
of Hamtramck and said, During
Mr. Majewski's term as mayor he
gave the colored people seven col
ored police officers, some of whom
are still on the police force"

LABOR DAY AND THE NEGRO

Labor Day will be celebrated Monday, September 6,
Workers of both races in Detroit and throughout the
United States will observe this occasion, and will cee-
brae with pcncs, Labor Day Parades and demonstra-
tions of various kinds.
To the millions of jobess citizens, however, Labor Day
will but mockery For months yes years. many
of these unfortunate people have been seeking work
vain They have found every door of industrial opportuni
y closed in their faces especially those obess citizens
who approaching middle life. Thousands have been
forced to accept welfare aid although they prefer
to work and their bread by the sweat of their brows
Negroes the first to be fired and the last to be
employed.
Why is this? Is it because Negroes, or because
we are not closely affiliated with labor unions?
Some tell that the large percentage of unempoy-
among people is due to the fact that there
not jobs enough to go around machines taking the
place of and large employers of labor usually give
the preference to white workers.
While this may be true to great degree, believe
conditions gradually improving. More of people
are at work in Detroit to-day than employed year
ago. Those of who the good fortune to have
lar Jobs should strive to make ourselves indispensable
and efficient that our employers will not desire to dis
pense with service.
On this Labor Day, the Tribune extends greetings to
all the workers of America of all racial groups Labor
has done much toward the and development of
our coutry and the nation its workers great debt
of gratitude We also grateful to capital for with
out capital would be difficult for the nations working
people to find employment.

DETROIT'S NEGRO CATHOLIC SCHOOL

At various times attempts have been made by diff
ferent individuals and to establish segregated
schools in Detroit but these efforts have thus far been
without appreciate success
Years ago. when the school system of Michigan
young children forced to attend segregated
schools but through the militant opposition of outstand
ing pioneer Negro leaders of the community the segre
gated schools were abolished
We regret however, that the segregated school
issue is with again. and this time it emnates from the
Catholic Church Negro Catholic School has been estab
lshed at the of Beaubien and Eliot Streets under
the auspices of St. Peter Claver Catholic Church. 1t will
doubtless be hailed with joy by certain individuals who
NAV have selfish reasons for desiring the Inauguration of
segregated Negro schools in Detroit
The Tribune views this innovation with regret and
anprehenson as the launching of St. Peter Cavers Ne
GRO school may serve as precedent for the establishing
of segregated public schools. -
Is it because colored children unwecome IN the
regular Catholic schools of Detroit that ST Peter CaVe
Parochia School being established? We cannot say al
though we recall that two years ago. local Catholic lay
man came to Tribune office and cited the case OF
colored Catholic child whom he said denied the pr-
vege of attending of the local Catholic schools de-
spite the fact that Catholic denomination stands for
universal brotherhood and not expected to draw the
color line
The public school system OF michigan mas long oeeh
recognized as model SYSTEM with highly efficient teach

Urges Aid For
Sharecroppers
Fight

NEW YORK-Branches and
friends of the n. A. A. c, p. have
been urged to give their financial
and moral support to the Southern
Tenant Farmers Union which Is
fighting to improve the conditions
of both white and colored tenant
farmers and sharecroppers, espe-
cially in the eastern Arkansas a
rea. Attention is called to the fact
that the S. T. F. U. has absolutely
no color line either in its member
ship or in its official ranks, which
gives the union its greatest strength
and at the same time arouses the
most bitter opposition from the
landowners, bankers and merchants
who are so heartlessly exploiting
these defenseless sharecroppers.
The S. T. F. T., according to
Howard Kester, is desperately In
need of funds. Mr.. Kester address,
ed the 1885 Annual Conference of
the n. A. A. G. p, where he made
a profound impression because Of
his courage, organizing ability, and
his sincerity. The effectiveness
of the work Of the S. T. F. U. has
lately been demonstrated in the
Unions forcing the lethargic De-
partment of Justice to take action
against peonage in Arkansas and in
causing Governor Futrell of Ark
ansas to invite sharecroppers,
planters and officials to confer on
methods to end the evils of share
cropping.
Contribution to the work of the
S. T. F.. U. may be sent either
through the N. A. A. c. p, 50 Fifth
Avenue, New York, or directly to

Louis Pays the Price OF Fame
EscObar is victorious
(By VIM. 7. PATRICK, Jr.)


Spotted Joe Louis at a carnival
Monday night. He was surround
ed by a group of enthusiastic adj
mirers as he attempted to knock
the ducks over in the shooting
gallery. He was accompanied by
Nelson (his first name slips my
memory now, his bodyguard from
Chicago. Nelson was in a temper
amental mood that night and had
quite a time keeping the throngs
from tearing Joes clothes off.
The Bomber" was in for a good
time and didn't seem to mind his
audiences. He went for ride on
the merrygo-round and the ferris
wheel. We had to laugh at seeing
the great killer of the ring riding
on a merry-go-round.
He was soon forced to retire how
ever, as the throngs began to get
unmanageable and tired to tear SOU
venirs from his person. Joe is
paying the price of fame. All Of
the great athletes have to go
through the same thing day after
day.
Joe appeared in fine condition
and should be just right when his
battle with AL Ettore rolls up later
on in the month.
EscObar Wins
Sixto Escobar, claimant to the
bantam title, gained undisputed
possession of the crown Monday
night when he easily conquered
Tony Marine, game little Italian,
in a title go in New York. News
dispatches from New York report
that the Porto Rican was the mas
ter from start to finish and proved
to be one the greatest of the little
fighters in late years.
He downed Marine the thir-
teenth round of a scheduled -
round go, to win by a technical
knockout.
We can now boast of three cham
pions; John Henry Lewis, a true
champion who is ruling the light
heavy ranks; Henry Armstrong,
great little fighter who is claim
ant to the featherweight title; and

Holmon Williams returned to the
fistic wars last Monday and scored
a technical knockout over Roger
Shea of Cleveland in a scheduled

rounds by Ken Overlin of Rich
