State House.
The election department of
the City of Boston is a place
where some of our group at
the present time are sorely
needd. Last year I visited this
department registering hum
dredS of voters and a few this
year, have yet to see a coll
ored face behind the counter.
To show you the intelligence
of some of these workers there;
the last man I registered this
month was born in the Cape
Verde Island which has been
in the news much of late as a
proposed outpost in the defense
of the United States. The en-
ployee who registered this new
voter seemingly never had
heard of such place.
The requirements for this ex-
animation in accordance with
Chapter los, Acts of 1920 state
"the applicant must have been
enrolled in either the Demo-
cratic or Republican party for
three years Immediately precd-
ing the date of examination
and must file with the Civil Ser
vice Commission a statement to
that effect signed by a member
of the Boston Board of Elec-
ton Commissioners of the
same political party as the ap-
plicant.
Applicants should have a
knowledge of the laws relating
to the requirements for qualify
ing as voter, and a knowledge
of the laws relating to the stat

special emphasis on that por-
ton of the law relating to mar

parties should be agreeable in
paying a nominal fee for such
lectures which will partly COM
pensate the lecturer. If you are
financially embarrassed, you are
still welcomed. Just drop a
postal card with your name and
address to me at Nine Cornhill
Boston. This examination
should put some of our group
on a good salary; also on the
inside to protect our voters as
well as our candidates rights
and interests.
Another job opportunity is
related to President Roosevelt's
latest third executive order in
regard to discrimination in the
defense industries.
We should definitely include
in this group, the public utili-
ties such as the gas, electric
and power and telephone COM
panies and the railroads. The
telephone company has appar-
emily anticipated to some ex-
TENT our lust demands of them
by employing few girls as ell
evator operators and one man
as a truck driver. We say, how
ever, that this is not enough
WHY are there not telephone
operators employed by the tel
ephone company? Now is the
time to make demands on these
public utilities which are def
nitely defense industries, to en-
ploy members of our group in
large numbers. Our just and
reasonable demands are based
on the executive orders issued
by President Roosevelt to stop
discrimination in our defense
industries.
One more job opportunity fol-
the youngsters. A circular let
ter was sent to Legion Posts
stating that a large number OF
young people have been trans
ferred from the N. Y. A. to pri-
vate industries thereby leaving
many vacancies for other young
men and women. If you are
between the ages of II and "a
not attending school, and wish
a job and an opportunity to
learn a trade especially con-
nected with the defense indus
try, apply right away to the
National Youth Administration
in the Park Square Building
Boston.
Space will not permit the
listing of other job opportuni-
ties which you should make
use of today. But, my parting
suggestion is, in seeking and
holding job, be a "go getter;
a go giver." I shall try to ex-
plain these terms more thor
oughly very son in one of these
