The REASON WHY

On December %, the census department released a com
parative statement based on the 1880 census showing the ex-
pectation of life for Negro and white males and females. The
paragraphs quo.ed below tell the whole story;
"Out of 100000 Negro male babies born alive 9l,268 as
compared with SO, 1853 white male babies will complete the first
year of life and enter ON the second SO, 755 will begin the third
YEAR as compared with 92,S37 white babies; S2,9O3 Negro and
Ss,621 white will reach the age of q land l4,4l9 Negro males
29,471 white males will attain the age Of To-
"Out Of 100000 Negro males born plve 1872 as COM
pared with 6,232 white males die in the first year OF life; l,5lz
Mcgee and 93l white in the second year; us Negro and 283
white in the Dist year; and 1887 Negro mnles as compared
with 2,515 white males die in he 18th year
Anyone reading these statements without reflection
would conclude that the Negro is more susceptible to disease
than white people. Of course this is not true but most people
don't know it.
1t will be interesting to watch he figures on mfantlle
paralysis deaths and see what the comparison Is. By all the
rules of the game The white deaths should be lower for in I'D
dition to the advantages local eommunihe5 offer, the Warm
Springs. Georgia snitarium for sufferers with infantile paraly-
sis and sponsoredb by President Rooseye t Charity balls, doesn t
admit Negroes to its facilities. Negroes being less prosperous
REALLY need the advantages of such a place more than whites.
Here is an instance where racial discrimination coupled
with the economic status is bound to have a bearing on the
ratio of deaths between the white and Negro people. Multiply
this by the same situation in other diseases and it is easy to
explain this appalling deSth rate.
However the fat that this situation EXISTS Is an mdlct-
ment on the American people. Heroic work should be done to
equalize this handicap which mus. include more economic Sc
curity and a higher standard Of living.
The Omaha guide., 1937-01-30
STRIKES

In the words Of the conservative Annaist, ''The three
largest manufacturing industries enter the new year with
heavy untitled orders. Ordinarily such a situation would Writ
ualy guarantee a satisfactory state of business, even though
a few important industries remained depressed. But the ex-
pected outbreak of labor disturbances is becoming serious
enough to constitute a threat to general business stability
Labor is split wide open today. On the one side is the
A /. of L, with its faith in craft unions. On the other is John
l.. Lewis, advocate of one big industrial union and direct hc-
ton. Some think that Mr.. Lewis ambition is to build up a Ia
Dor political party, such as exists in France and England.
Whether that is true or not, Mr.. Lewis seems bent on bringing
the old c~losed-shop VS.. openshop issue to a head.
One aim of the United Mine Workers QMr. Lewis union,
which is supported by a number of other unons) is to unionize
steel, adamant defender of the open-shop. This is about as
difficult a job as could be imagined and, whichever side wins,
must result in controversies continuing over a period of years.
So in the meantime, Nh. Lewis has centered his attack on a big
industry which he-and most unprejudiced observers-regard
as being highly vulnerable. That is the automobile industry.
Reason for motors vulnerability is that it is dependent
for existence ON other scattered industries-glass makers, ac-
cessory makers, tire makers, machine tool makers, etc. These
related industries, though big when all units within them are
considered, are mainly broken up into small, decentrahzed
units. IN other words, it is sometimes possible to tie up a big
automobile manufacturer by bringing about a strike IN some
relatively small factory which nakes, for example, glass.
Mr.. Lewis has centered his current attack on General
Motors, It being a representative big car maker. Demands are
The Omaha guide., 1937-01-30

plain and unequivocal-and heading them all Is the demand for
u 100 per cent closed shop. General Motors, through its presi-
dent, Alfred Sloane, has replied that it cannot eountenanee
this, that il will dicker with unions or any other emplOye rep
resentatives. but t1at it will not demand that a man belong to
any organiza ion before it gives him a job. That Is, it stands
firmly for the open shop.
The feeling is growing that if the menhee to stability
caused by labor troubles IS to be elipinated with fairness to
both sides, the Federal government must do a great depl more
than it has in the past. There is strong sentiment in the West
where a seamGns strike has kept all Pacific Coast shipping
tied up for nearly three months-in favor of the President TAX
ing a hand, something he has formerly refused to do. Medr
alton by the parties Involved has got nowhere, and chere IS
Ii. tie reason for believing that il will get anywhere in the tut
ure. AS Il result, Labor question will undoubtedly appear
as an issue in the current Congress, and will be thoroughly
tlrashed out.
The Omaha guide., 1937-01-30
An Unfair Burden

White men kill white and Negro people every day but
if anybody suffers it is the fellow who commits the crime; L a
Negr, kills a white person too often it is a different story.
The whole sace suffers in many ms .ances.
A very striking example is that of a Negro porter who
killed a white woman in New York City. Threats of mob yo-
lenee were heard when the accused Was taken to court, and
many Negro domestics have been discharged from their jobs.
is most unfortunate for in this instance the innocent have
been forced 10 suffer beg use Of that with which they have no
Sensible white people ought not be stamped into tins IN
fair attitude: on the other hand Negroes must be careful not
to allow situations Of this kind arise. Problems must be dealt
wi as we find them and while we can help TO correct sentl
ment in the future little can be done for those that have passed.
The Omaha guide., 1937-01-30

being appointed to the staff Of the
Attorney General of Ohio is vel
come indeed; and the news of
the city of Pittsburgh getting a
Tax Assessor from he Negro group
is also highly significant. This is
a good start after the great npheav-
al on November Ord, and from pre-
sent indications, the Negro citizen
is to cap a far share of the spoils
Of office.
Recognition At Home
Not unique in the annals of Ne
gro business, but an incident which
happens on all too few occasions,
Is the recognition and even lauding
Of the talents and achievements of
Negro business leaders by their
home town folk. Such is the happy
tribute to Mr.. F. B.. Ransom,
manager of the Nine. C. j. Walker
Manufacturing Company of Indian
apolis
An out of town newspaper having
paid Mr.. Ransom's managerial abil-
ity a glowing tribute-"business
manager of the Madam c. J. Wal
.ker enterprises, has been pointed
out as one of the few examples of
a Race nan who has remained
faithful to his trust"-the Indiana
polls Recorder, one of the larger
papers of Negro journalism, in an
editorial headed "F. B. Ransom and
Character" says:
agreeing with what has been
said above, we in this community,
who know him better than does the
national field, are able to add that
MI. Ransom has been in the van
guard of race enterprises and in
their encouragement. He has been
and is a militant exponent of the
development of an economy which
will be the best possible solution to
the problems peculiar to the low
income people"
For Nh. Ransom, it may be said
by anyone who is well posted on the
growth and developent Of Negro
business, that he has wrought well,
and is highly deserving of what
ever encomium that may be given
to him.

KELLY MILLER
SAYS
A DARK BLOT ON CIVIL
SERVICE REFORM

Revival of interest in the Civil
service reform marked its fiftieth
anniversary four years ago and has
continued down to the present mom-
enm. The Civil Service Reform
League and the Federation of Gov
eminent Employees have just cele-
brated the ifty-fourth anniversary
with appropriate exercises which
were broadcast throughout the ma
ton.
The purpose of Civil Service Re-
form was to rid of the spoil system
and to recruit the public service
through merit of ascertained by
competitive examination.
The Civil Service law requires
there shall be no discrimination on
account of race, sex or religion in
Civil Service appointments or pro-
motions. During the first twenty
five years after its Inauguration
this law was observed religiously.
There was attempt at discrimina-
ton on account of race when GroV-
err Cleveland was president and
Theodore was Civil Service Com
missioner. But these two stalwart
reformers stamped out this attempt
with that righteous Indignation for
which they were famous
Because the appointing officers
had no means of identifying the APP
pointment, the unscupulous can
plicant before he appeared for APP
didate for office often paid a sub
stitute examinee to pass the liter
airy test in his favor. In order to
correct this evil, the applicant was
required to file his photograph fer
purpose of Identification. Although
the photograph was introduced for
a laudable purpose, it has COTE to
be used as a means of discrimina-
ton against all colored applicants
for positions in the clerical service
Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell
has introduced a bill in Congress
to abolish the use of the photograph
and to substitute f%ingerprints for pur
pose of Identification, with the hope
that this will do away with race
discrimination.
Before the Introduction of the
photograph thousands of colored
men and women entered the clerical
ranks Of the government as the re-
suit of competitive examinations,
Within these later years colored
applicants have been so discrimin-
ated against and Inundated by
having the door of opportunity
slammed in their faces that few ii
any now deem it worthwhile tc
enter the examinations. Colored APP
pointees who entered the service
when the competition was open and
fair are now being reduced by
death, resignation and dismissal
At the present rate of descrimin.
alton with a few years NO e%olored
clerks win be left to tell the story
