Brooklynites Fight
Five And Ten Job Bias

New York, Jan, (CNA) ~ A
joint delegation from the Brook
lyn Council of the National Negro
Congress and the Brooklyn Youth
Federation this week met with the
management of the Woolworth 3
and 10 cent store at Fulton st.
and Nostrand Avenue to demand
the employment of Negro sales
girls without delay.
Malcolm Martin, chairman Of
the Congress, and Patricia VIII
liams, chairman Of the Federation
insisted that the store put on a
number Of Negro girls. They
showed a survey which had pre-
wously been conducted that at
least so per cent Of the Woolworth
patronage came from our people
living in the Acknowledgements
area.
Negotiations are continuing with
Woolworth to establish policy
of employment which will give our
youth a living wage In places
where they and their families
spend their money.
Dorothy Funn, Executive Secre-
tary of the congress, and Steve
Kingston, veteran civic leader,
pointed out that promises will not
satisfy the Negro people of Brook
Ign. Jobs in these stores will be the
only satisfactory answer to the
just demands of Negro youth for
jobs.
