Texas Breweries Capitulate To
Demands For ColoredSalesman

HOUSTON-(By j. Don Davis
for When the history OF
the struggle for economic securi-
ty OF Negroes In the South Is writ
ten. the names OF colored beer
dealers OF Houston will be record
ed In indelible letters.
Until a mere two months ago
none OF the Texas breweries and
the out-of-state ones selling beer
here had Negroes in sales posi-
lions. though according 10 Stats
tics Negroes consumed over so per
cent OF the beer sold here. The
colored saloon and tavern owners
went into huddle and decided
that II they were to handle this
large proportion OF the beer bust
ness In Houston. some OF the white
collar work had to be given to Ne
groes.
Julius White, we'll known in A.
r. OF l.. circles and operator OF a
Houston night club, called a meet
ing OF the dealers and the result
was formation of the Houston
Colored Beer Dealers association"
The associations theme was
buy where you can work" and a
diplomatic ultimatum was issued
to all breweries and beer dlstribu-
tors In the city that their products
would be boycotted unless a Ne
gro salesman called at the estab-
lishments to handle the sale OF the
product.
Many predicted a rebuttal by the
breweries on the ground that the
Negroes secured employment from
white firms and without such they
would not be able TO buy beer. In
spite OF this prevalent pessimistic
attitude, the association proceeded
with its effort to secure work for
the young men OF Houston and to-
day every firm selling beer in
