RELIEF ROLES

metropolitan relief directors were
told Wednesday that Negroes
now comprise nearly half the
states direct aid burden and
would present an increasingly
acute problem unless both em-
ployers and labor unions accept
Negroes more freely.
For example, in Cleveland the
only plants giving reasonable en-
ployment to Negroes are the
boundaries Frank X. Jones,
Cleveland relief commissioner,
asserted at state-city confer
ence on indigency.
These jobs, however, he con-
tinued, '.are mostly Negro jobs
Jobs that are usually refused
by white workers when they arc
able TO secure others
Cite Discrimination
There are several reasons foa
this denial Of work opportunity.
Most employers state as
prime reasons that they have
never employed Negroes and
therefore are not willing to en-
ploy them now. Other employers
state that there is a deep-seated
labor and union objection. ...
1.-THE unions, Of course, state
openly that they would be willing
to accept Negroes in jobs during
the defense emergency, at least,
and that management is largely
to blame.
"The truth of the matter is, it
would seem, that even those
unions which have no policy of
(Negro) exclusion are largely re-
ndering lip service to the policy
of no discrimination in those in
ustries where Negroes are not al
ready established, and that there
is a great deal Of buck passing by
both employers and the union"
SO Per Cent Of Load
Jones said Negroes comprised
only 8 per cent Of the Cleveland
population but represented be-
tween 45 and so per cent of the
relief load and one-third Of the
/. WPA cases.
| This problem is accentuated,
Jones added, because the Negro
percentage on relief rolls will rise
in direct proportion to the per-
centage of white persons leaving,
so that eventually Negroes will
comprise by far the largest per-
centage Of those on relief
]. Jones' said that ever the rapid
expansion Of defensa industry
had done little forsthe Negro,
since many had been dismissed
| from enrolling for vocational
| training, and only few of those
| who completed their courses had
| found work.
Housing 10 Problem
Directors generally agreed that
housing presented an acute prob
lem, except at Cincinnati, where
Director Omar Caswell reported
that developments by the govern

Drug Store Robher Fails
To Get Habeas Writ

James Curtis, convicted drugstore
robber who sought unsuccessfully
to employ a lie detector" in his
defense during a District Court
trial several months ago, was blocked
in an effort to obtain release from
Jail yesterday when a petition for
a writ of habeaS corpus was denied
by Justice James w. Morris
Through Attorney John P. Mullen,
Curtis contended the constitutional
right of a criminal defendant "to
be confronted with witnesses against
him" had not been observed at
his trial because some of those
present when the robbery took place
were not summoned to testify.
Declaring this construction of the
constitutional guarantee was too
broad, Justice Morris said it was
not necessary for the Government
to call witnesses whose testimony
could serve no purpose. A Defend
ant is entitled to demand that no
evidence be suppressed, the court
ruled, and the requirement was met
in this case.
Curtis. who was prosecuted by
Assistant United States Attorney
John w. Jackson, received a two
to five year sentence in April, 1899,
after twice being tried for a holdup
on January 6, 1887, in the drugstore
of Nathan Reiskin, 81 Florida ave-
nue. NV. Curtis, contending he
was innocent, insisted that he be
submitted to a "lie detector," but
Justice Bolitha j. Laws, presiding,
said sufficient showing as to the
reliability of these devices had not
been made. The court asked for
additional evidence on this point,
but this was never furnished.
