FIR E DEP t.
.APPLICAN TSI
TURNED DOWN |

The question of whether or not
Negroes will receive jobs in the
Detroit Fire Department is still a
red-hot issue.
The Detroit Civic Rights Com
mittee announces that they have
received in response to their re-
quest, scores of letters from color
ed citizens whose applications for
jobs in the fire department have
been turned down, and that in
many instances, gross discrimina-
ton seemed so obvious as to war
rant investigation.
The Committee further discloses
the fact that in some cases. the
examiners not only refused to re-
cognize the certificates which ap-
plicants submitted from local ex-
aiming physicians, but also turn
ed down certain well-known
athletes, on grounds Of physical
disqualification.
A spokesman for the Committee,
in an interview with Tribune re-
preventative Wednesday, declared:
st is high time that the Negro
citizens Of Detroit should protest
against public officials and Civil
Service authorities, whose policy
seems to be to keep colored citi-
zens out of civil service jobs to
which we are eligible. They are
apparently trying to keep us out OF
jobs with good pay in municipal
departments, to which we are en-
titled as taxpayers. 1t may be
necessary to carry some Of these
cases Of discrimination into court"
Several of the colored applicants
who are seeking jobs in the local
fire department, have passed all
tests, with the exception Of a writ
ten examination which will be held
Saturday, May 2, at Cass High
School. Those who pass this test,
will have to undergo a rigid ex-
animation by the physician for the
Fire Commission, before being ap-
pointed.
