rs YEARS OF NEGRO PROGRESS
FEATURES DETROIT EX-
POSITION

Detroit, Mich, May (William Allan
| for CNA)-Detroit and its people were
host to the Exposition of Is Years of
| Negro Progress which was held here
from May 10 to May 19. Organized
by Negro representatives in the indus
trial, scientific, arts and labor field the
exposition attracted thousands of peo-
pie of both races, from ali over the ma
ton.
A survey of the exposition wildly
dramatizes the ability and initiative of
the Negro people. In the field of sci
ence an exact replica of the laboratory
of the South's outstanding scientist,
DIR. George w Carver, is shown with
demonstrations of how DR.. Carver
makes over 200 products from various
agricultural products.
In the field of labor, the Congress
for Industrial Organizations had one
of the outstanding booths and exhibits.
Drawings depicted the position of the
Negro industrial worker before the en-
trance of the CIO, regarding wages,
work and hours. A time table of the
achievements of the CIO in organiz-
ing and aiding Negro workers aroused
great attention.
In the Briggs plant known years ago
as the slave pen among Negro work
ers, total wage increases since 1887
when the UAW-CIO first began Or
ganizing amount to "a to 104 per cent
This and many other improvements
such as all Negro workers now in the
UAW-CIO on their jobs receive, va
cations with pay and time and half
for overtime, were stressed.
The A. F. of L. also had an exhibit
but sadly lacking from its aoDeal to
the Negro workers to join their unions
was the fine record of the Go in the
aid of improing working conditions
ana n1gner wages.
Also lacking in the AFL exhibit
were the huge pictures of leading Ne
gro trade unionists, shown in the Go
exhibit as holding high offices in CIO
Local unions.
The Negro theatre and its achieve
ments were prominently displayed.
Here the struggle of the Negro to fl
nance, promote and bring to the great
masses of the people the historic strug-
giles of the Negro people was story
of endless work and sacrifice
Robert Havden, Young dramatist
actor and poet who has written nuner-
