ton clause originated in Washing
ton, d. c. in the Department of
the Interior. THE only reason for
asking for such a clause" said w.
J. Trent of Washington, Advisor
on Negro Affairs, 'is that Negroes
have been denied the opportun-
ity to join labor organizations. If
they were allowed the full OPP
portunities and privileges of labor
organizations, there would be no
need for this clause since they
would participate in all of the la
Dor activities"
Recently the Solicitors office in
the Department of the Interior
prepared an opinion on the inser-
ton of such clauses in contracts.
His opinion held that this clause
was no violation of the constitu-
tional rights of American citizens
and was thereby eligible for in
sertion. The Corporation Council
of Seattle prepared a similar opin-
ion on Nov %, 1888. The clause
has been used successfully in
Housing Projects in Pittsburgh,
Pa; Tampa, Florida; Detroit,
Mich; and Birmingham, Ala. If
Negroes in Seattle are to receive
their share of work created by
millions of dollars being spent for
bridges and other projects, it will
be through the medium of such a
clause as the Urban League pro-
poses.
The League was granted hear
ing this week before the Judiciary
Committee of the City Council.
The members of the Committee
are John e. Carroll, chairman,
Hugh DeLacy and Frank l..
Laube This Committee passed
favorably on the Urban Leagues
petition and referred the matter
to the City Council, who will make
final decision.
