the governorship on strong Demo-
cratic tide in Maryland was conceded
today by Gov. Nice, as both Mr.
O'Conor and Senator Millard E
Tydings held decisive majorities.
Shortly before noon the Repub-
lican Governor wired "heartiest con-
gratulations' to the young Demo-
cratic attorney general, who came
out of Baltimore last night with a
lead of $4,000, which went up to
$4,000 on early returns from several
counties.
Tydings Lead 100000.
Meanwhile, Maryland's tall, ag-
gressive Senator Tydings was main
tanning an overwhelming lead of
100000, with returns incomplete. He
had been expected to run ahead of
the gubernatorial candidate. Mr..
O'Conor's final majority may go
down slightly when complete figures
are available from the counties
where Gov. Nice was strong
In addition to his message of good
will to Mr.. O'Conor, Gov. Nice is

announced he would 60 forward
with plans to organize the Republi-
cans of the Free State for the 1910

gress they have 88 members and
l vacancy.

far, the Progressives, who now hold
seven seats, who have elected two to
the incoming Congress.
In Ohio, the Republicans picked
up IA seats, while in adjoining
Pennsylvania they made gain of
a dozen.
The districts in which the Repub-
licans are assured of gains are :
California, 8 and 16; Connecticut,
l, 2, 4 and at large; Delaware, at
large; Idaho, 2; Indiana, 4 and 10;

Claims Employment
Practices Are Not
Employment Policy

| "Our company is not prejudiced
against Negroes. While we do not
employ any in Seattle, colored car
washers and simonizers are en-
ployed on wage and commission
basis in California" stated the exc
cutive official of an important
company to j. S. Jackson secre-
tary of the Urban League.
In a previous conference over a
year ago this official had told the
Urban League that the original
employment policy had been set
by the owner himself who was too
i'll to be consulted at that time.
Since then many Negroes took
their business elsewhere and one
customer, Mrs. Lonnie Shields,
wrote back to say that they had
moved their account to where col
ored had chance to work.
Last Friday in further confer
ence the official stated further that
it had been the policy to hire only
men who could become managers
and go up in the company. After
calling attention to the highly sell
ective employment policy of the
company in choosing only men
who were good statesmen as well
as being competent, the official
invited the Urban League to send
in a man to talk with him without
any promise of employment. He
had called the League Secretary to
make sure that the practice of the
company in not employing Ne
groes here was not considered po-
Icy.
This official made great point of
the fact that he was not prejudic-
ed, and that he had come to think
of the Negro pullman porter and
pullman cars as inseparable. He
would instantly raise a howl if he
went on Pullman cars and found
any but a Negro porter.
This is a splendid example of
what can happen when Negroes
become articulate with reference
to where they spend their money
to buy service.
The principal concerns in
many fields have been visited by
the Urban League, and if the of
Gals have to keep calling back to
explain that practice is not neces-
sarily policy, jobs will be avail
able. This executive might we'll
know that it will be just about en-
ployment, and not promise, that
will bring his customers back.
