Negroes exceedingly fortunate in having at their
service weekly newspaper outstanding in every way as

efficient staff employees, but has at the head OF the
editorial department, in the person of Mr.. d. Edward
Mccall writer of unusual talent. The paper is clean,
newsy inspiring and the whole is excellent contrl-

are readers of Negro Weekes, we can not

informed only of the crimes committed by the race GER

GREETINGS TO THE CHRONICLE
Continued From page u


The task of improving the economic and political
welfare of our people, not only in Detroit but in Chi
cago and other cities is that cannot be accomplish
ed overnight especially by a weekly paper
The Negro applicants whom we hope will soon be
appointed in the local fire department and similar
positions, will not their jobs to the efforts of the
Defender any other outside paper. The credit for
these and similar appointments, when they material
ize will be due chiefly to the influence and persistent
efforts of Detroit organizations and Detroit citizens
We make these statements not in the spirit of vim
facts The Detroit Tribune has efficiently served the
local citizenry for long time and will continue to do
So We shall never be guilty of striking an opponent
below the belt but will expect to receive fair play in
return. Some of the Chronicles field workers have
been seeking to persuade of our newsdealers
and agents to handle that paper and drop the Tribune
and some others have asked prominent citizens and
organizations to give their exclusively to the
paper. We feel confident however, that this action
is not approved by the management of the Chronicle
The ChcagoanS on the local field have sent here
to get business, if they get it, That legitimate
Detroiters, however, who have pride and loyal
ty have nothing but contempt for the handful of fell
low citizens who volunteering their time gratuit-
ousy in boosting the weekly and helping to intro
duce it, while trying to discredit their own home
papers, but of course there will always be Iscariots
in every community ready to sell out the Saviour;
and Esaus who will barter their own birthrights
To such individuals, charity always begins away
from home, and the greenest pastures likewise
on the other side of the fence.

NEGRO FIREMEN FOR DETROIT

Detroit is of the few metropolitan cities of the
country having large Negro population, but with no
Negro citizens employed in its fire department.
Even many of the larger cities of the South there
-~ored representatives in their fireghtng departments
)g this group Nashville, Tenn, Atlanta Ca.
L lond, Va and Baltimore, Md In Charleston S. c..
Il Example, Negroes not only employed in local col
ed fire-fghtng units but also stationed at
# the engine in which white fremen predominant
n number They live work together in harmony and
with efficiency and the citizens of Charleston think moth
ing of it.
In many large cities above the Mason and Dixon's
Line Negro fremen have long been employed. New
York City has coored fremen in various engine houses
where white and coored frefghers work, eat and bunk
together without the slightest racial friction. Phia
dephia Chicago ST. Louis Cincinnati and other metro
poan cities this section also have number of eff
cient Negro firefighters.
Detroit however, has been slow to follow the example
of those cities which do not bar Negro fremen One
excuse has been white fremen in this city would not
work with Negro freme for fear of having to eat and
bunk together in local fire stations What fmsy OBJ
lection If firemen of both work together in
harmony even in the South why can't they do likewise
in Detroit
1t also been claimed by opponents that Negro ap-
plcants for jobs in the fire department here would not
be able to pass the Civil Service examinations and other
rigid tests required. Why not? If physical fitness and
intelligence essential surely there scores OF our
young men in Detroit, who prepared to qualify with
ease for jobs as firemen.
From time to time local citizens of both races, have
sought to influence public officials of Detroit to lower
the and give capable Negro applicants the oppor
tunity to serve as fremen but until lately, these petitions
have been in vain.
For the past year or more the Detroit Civic Rights
nd
been seeking openings for Negroes in local fire
department and at last efforts about to bear
fruit number of capable young of our group have
recently applied for jobs fremen and have taken the
Civil Service examination. Some have p asse with
credit.
We have every to hope, therefore, that in the
near future of these coored asprants will be given
positions in the Detroit Fire Department The public a
