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 a definite statement on
its membership policy. The matter
was not completely settled at this
meeting, Mr.. Washington stated,
because of the pressure of business
before the board. He added that
the general attitude of those pres
emit indicated that Minneapolis 10
Gals of the I. L. G. w. U. will carry
out the same liberal policies as are
practiced by the organization ma
tionally.
500 Expected
The board invited Mr.. Washing
ton to place the matter before the
general organization meeting
which is usually attended by about
500 garment workers.
Commenting on the situation Mr..
Washington said: "It is inconceiv-
able that the local garment work
ers union will go contrary to the
practices of the. national body.
Favorable action will mean the
opening of work opportunities in
an industry from which Negroes
! have been practically excluded"

No Third Degree
In st. Paul, Says
Chief Hackert

There is no third degree in the
police department of st. Paul, Gin
ton A. Hackert, chief of police, said
at meeting of the members of the
st. Paul Branch of the N.A.A.C.P.,
Tuesday, in the Halle @. Brown
House. r -
The chief spoke in response to
an invitation extended by the or
ganization following numerous re-
ports concerning methods the police
department was alleged to be using
in extracting confessions and ham
ding colored prisoners.
Will Investigate Any Report
Any man who uses force to get
information will be in danger of
losing his job, the chief declared,
He insisted that if any reports of
brutality on the part of the police
are brought to his attention he will
investigate them personally.
Opposed to "LOwer Elements"
Mixing
Talking further, he stated that
he was not opposed to persons of
different races, creeds or religious
beliefs associating and marrying on
a high level. The chief asserted
that such was "their business" He
added, however, that he was OPP
posed to the mixing of races among
the clover elements" on an illegal
basis.
Johnson Case
Referring to recent case of
Thomas lucky Johnson, who
died following a fight with two
white men recently, the chief stated
that he was not in a position to
comment on the case very much
because the matter was before the
Grand Jury. He did say, however,
that he felt that the police depart
ment had done everything it could
to investigate the facts and place
them before the proper authorities.
The N.A.A.C.P. had the grand
jury investigate the johnson case
after a coroner's jury released the
two white men on the grounds that
the victim had come to his death
from unknown causes"
A business meeting of the
N.A.A.C.P. preceded the speech by
Chief Hackert and plans were dis
cussed for the coming of Dean Will
liam Pickens, director of branches
for the national N.A.A.C.P., who
will speak in st. Paul on Sunday,
November 5, at 8 p. M, in Pilgrim
Baptist Church.
