Washington Will
Speak to Garment
Workers Union

Acting to clinch the prospect of
migrating Negroes in the gar
ment manufacturing industry of
Minneapolis, Charles w. Washing
ton, executive secretary Of the Min
neapolis Urban League, this week
accepted an invitation to attend a
general organization meeting of
workers in the industry which will
be held within three weeks.
Mr.. Washington has already Sc
cured the promise Of the Twin
Cities Apparel Industries, an or
ganization of employers in the gar
ment industry, that all applicants
will be employed regardless of
their race or creed. However, con-
ferences with individual employers
have revealed that they have mis-
givings regarding the attitude Of
their employees toward Negroes.
Attends Joint Board
On Thursday Mr.. Washington
conferred with representatives of
the Twin Cities joint board of the
International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union. This meeting was
the result Of several conferences
held with M. Finkelstein, secretary
and business agent Of the union,
regarding the attitude Of workers
in this industry Of the race ques-
ton. Mr.. Washington told the
joint board of what the attitude of
the employers was in the matter.
In order that the matter might
be completely cleared up, the
league secretary urged that the
union make definite statement on
its membership policy. The matter
was not completely settled at this
