MORE JOBS

With the years election furry now
but memory, the thoughts of the com
munity return to the perplexing puzzle
OF unemployment. How to place more
persons in jobs and how to increase
business and industry and thus create
more jobs, are questions that are press
ing for settlement.
Another alarming aspect is given to
the unemployment problem when it is
noted that New England generally has
reached near normal level in indus
try and business while hundreds of
thousands remain unemployed and
there are no jobs in sight The plight
OF the colOred jobless becomes appar-
ent since they are usually at the tail
end of those who may be hired.
Since existing organizations are pre-
occupied with their several programs,
there seems to be need for committee
created for the purpose of managing
drives for jobs Such a committee for
employment should function under
militant and intelligent leadership, for
obviously 1t Will require courage and
careful planning and action to secure
jobs for colored workers in the indus
tries, utilities, stores and shops, from
which they have been barred by
prejudice or some other foolish custom.
In other cities similar committees
are already in operation. Among New
YOrk's job crusaders are often noted
Rev. William Lloyd lines and Rev A.
c. Powell, both of whom have some
times gone to the front as pickets.
Where and how to picket and exert
pressure if necessary to gain access
to employment often requires consul
tation with those who are trained in
the law. For this reason an aggressive
attorney could very well be asked to
head the Boston committee.

SEGREGATION for Coored the Real Damng DegadaO

ton toward sharing classrooms with
colored students. Southern-born white
students at Northern universities have
never been known to develop a single
case of ''heebie jeebies" at sight of a
colored student in a classroom. On
the other hand there are many in
stances on record where young gentle
men from Dixie and colored fellow
students have got along together I'M
usually well. For race-prejudice is
not natural product. 1t is delibera-
tely indoctrinated into Southern youth.
And young people of today are getting
mighty tired of the continuing folly of
it.
All these considerations should sug-
gest to the South the democratic and
the best way out of the muddle, Let
the question of admitting the colored
graduates come up before the student
bodies. The guess may be wrong at
times; but the growing liberalism of
young America, South as well as
North, should have an open democratic
chance to function, at last unrestrain-
ed by the old race-hating adversaries
of progress.
