THE N. Y. A. AND NEGRO YOUTH

At the Second National Conference On Problems or
The Negro And Negro Youth held in the Department Of
Labor building In Washington ID. G. last week. under d
rection of Mrs Mary Mcleod Behune, number Of vital
recommendations made in interest of Negro youth
The conference leaders pointed many OF the social
and economic mpedments that bese Negro youth and
retard their physical. mental and cultural Development
and recommended that the y y. A. be converted into
permanent Federal youth service agency and that the
laws of eligibility governing be modified to include
youth of non-reief states, the basis of need.
II was further recommended that the Federal Gov
eminent control the ~ Y A. and Junior Placement
ice Of the t. S Employment Service, TO the extent that
the equal benefits Of this service bill Will be received by
Negro youth throughout the country; and that in
nection with the contemplated expansion of national
defense the national office of the NY.A make
adequate provision for the full participation of Negro
youth in the ~ Y A. regional training projects for metal
arts and crafts, auto mechanics, and aeronautca
chanics.
Surely, these are critical days for the youth Of all
racial groups particularly own, and it is sincerely
to be hoped that the Federal Government through the
~ :. A. and similar agencies. put forth effort to
help the millions of iobess young and women of our
country to find profitable employment.

RANDALL POINTS THE WAY

James Randall brilliant young college of this
city has set precedent which might well be emuated
by other ambitious young men and women OF the race
in quest of permanent employment
Refusing to accept the prevalent theory that there
are no worthwhile job opportunities for our young peo
pe who are graduating high schools and universe
ties Randall took and passed with high average a
state civil service examinations and last "Wednesday be-
gan his duties as civil service employee at the state
prison at Jackson Michigan.
Randall therefore has the distinction Of being the
frst member of the race hold saaried position at
Jackson prison the hundred of its existence
Positions this kind not for Negroes TO secure
through appointment but they obtainabe through
civil service.
In 1887. when Senator Charles Diggs sought to Sc
cure the appointment OF Negro guard at Jackson prs
on Warden Joel Moore refused TO make the appoint
ment on the grounds that he believed the presence of
Negro guard the prison would irritating to white
prisoners and cause race friction
In our opinion. however this was prcudiced
viewpoint without logical foundation Negro guards
have been employed the Detroit House Of Correction
for years Even in the deep South members Of the
have frequently been employed prison guards with
We have Negro guards in charge Of gangs
of white and colored prisoners working on the streets
Of cities as far South as Montgomery Alabama the
Cradle Of the Confedcracy
Furthermore in mos, OF the larger cities Of this Sec
ton also in the East and West the presence Of Negroes
as policemen and traffic officers causes little or no pub
lie irritation race friction.
We graduated from college with Warden Moore
and hold him in high esteem. but cannot agree with
his attitude relative the appointment Of Negro guards
Jackson prison. There is possibility that some of
the clashes which inmates of penal institu
ons night be aNerted by the presence Of more Negro
guards
At any rate, we hope other qualified young men and
women Of race will follow James Randalls lead and
take civil service examinations frequently. Take
tho examinations and get the eligible cisil service
lists Don't try for lust position. but take several
examinations for different positions
The Detroit CNil Service commission will hold local
examinations February and for positions senior
and junior accountants and brckaycrs We have many
who can pass these tests
State Civil Service examinations will also be held
very for state Jobs which listed else
when in this issue Of he Tribune Applications may
be secured he local county building.
We congratulate Young Randall apon his initiative
and and hope that his efforts encourage
other Young people to strive for similar civil service
poinmenfs.
