Into our keeping. May your grave
Be one Of peace. Sleep sweetly there

speaker and her talk was listened to
with interest and appreciation.
At the conclusion of the radio
broadcast Mayor E. w. Ross gave a
resume of the various WPA projects
that have been sponsored by POGO
moke City during the past four years.
Mayor Ross stated that the WPA had
provided work for a large group of
people in Pocomoke who otherwise
would have been without employment
and, doubtless, on the rolls of relief.
That through the cooperation of the
WPA many permanent improvements
have come to the community. More
over, the Mayor stated that he is
intellectually in favor of continuing
the WPA program here until such
time as the workers are able to find
employment in the regular channels
of industry.
This week, May 1925, the public
is invited to visit the local WPA sew
ing room on the second floor of the
old fire engine house, between the
hours of 900 A. M. and 500 P. M.
By visiting the project, talking with
the workers and watching them at
their tasks one may see for himself

WhSHI NGTON, d. CLAMP,
Bringing into the open a well
directed attempt to erect a racial
barrier against a Negro's appoint
nent to job in the department
of commerce where he would have
supervision over other workers, the
u. F.. w. A., a CIO organization
in the government set up here. has
presented it's case for arbitration
with representatives of the govern
ment testifying before T. Arnold
Hill, the referee who will adJudge
the merits of the case.
Frank Stewart, a messenger with
five or six years service in the de-
partment of commerce, is the Ne
gro Who was refused an appoint
ment as assistant supply clerk
where he would receive a small
raise in pay and a classification
to higher category
When it was found that the only
applicant and the logical man for
the job was Negro. DR.. Halbert
L. Dunn, chief statistician in the
division of vital statistics, refused
to make the appointment, leaving
the created job open.
SOUGHT WHITE MAN
According to testimony, it is be-
lieved that Dr.. Dunn wished to
place a white man in the job, as is
customary in the segegrated de-
partment of commerce where sew
en- Negroes working as clerks in
the division, though attached to
different units, are not allowed to
work with their respective units,
but are congrega1ed together be-
hind a group of file cases away
from fellow white workers.
Created because of an increase
in work and staff, the job was to
have been filled with an examina-
ton. ~Brsas ~,
Workers who had been asSociat-
ed with Stewart knew his capabili-
ties and were for the promotion.
David K. Niles. a former mem
ber of the NAACP board. ad.
mitted that Stewart was capable
worker. but that DR.. Dunn had
the right to act as he did. when
the matter was brought to his at
tention.
NO MONEY AVAILABLE
DR.. Dunn, before the referee. de-
clared that the position had been
kept open a month and then de-
clared it was open for several
months due to the fact that no ap-
preparation for the field staff had
been made and it was largely on
I account of the addition to the field
staff that the assistant supply
clerk would be appointed.
Other workers say that Stewart
is the only person for the position
and that he is entitled to it. 1t
of our mothers have heavy loads
to bear today" He said many of
our young women today do not
want to birth children, but that
the finest thing any woman can
do is to produce children.
The speaker lauded the mothers
for the contributions they had
made towards human progress,
urging their offsprings to be duti-
tul and respectful to them.
AT the night services, Rev. Mr..
Arnold spoke from the topic "The
