Urban League
Reports Some
Job Progress

At the second quarterly meeting
of the Board of Directors of the
Minneapolis Urban League held at
the Y, M. C. A. Tuesday, June 8,
Chas. w. Washington, Executive
Secretary of the League, reported
that employment conditions among
Negroes had shown decided i'm
provement during the past three
months.
This statement was based on the
actual placements made through
the Urban League office and in
formation gathered on jobs secured
by Negroes throughout the city.
The Urban League has made 1872
placements since March 1.
Two Defense Firms Promise
In addition to these placements,
Mr.. Washington reported that two
of the major industries holding de-
tense contracts in Minneapolis
have agreed to the employment Of
a representative number Of Ne
groes. Commenting upon the sig
nificance of the increase in Negro
employment the Leagues secre-
tary pointed out that this increase
has been confined principally to the
occupations in which Negroes are
ordinarily engaged, namely, do
nestle and personal service and
unskilled jobs.
He pointed out that the major
task of the Urban League is to
integrate Negro youth into defense
training program of the National
Youth Administration and other
agencies as a means of establish
ing a representative number of
Negro youth for semi-skilled and
skilled jobs and then to integrate
those who are trained into the in
dustrial plants of the city.
Unless such a program can be
carried forward successfully, Ne
groes will continue to be confined
to marginal jobs and therefore ex-
posed to the hazards of wholesale
unemployment at the slightest re-
cession of employment conditions.
Report Encouraging
Other facts brought out in the
report showed that during the past
three months Is places of business
and industrial firms have been con-
tacted in the interest of Negro
workers. That favorable results
have been obtained are shown in
the high percentage of placements
made during this period. c. l..
Harris of the New England Furni-
ture Company and president Of the
Urban League Board stated that
the activities report of the Urban
League for the past three months
is the most encouraging one made
during the past few years.
Mr.. Washington also announced
that as a result of the activities
of the National Urban League staff
and the various local branches in
the national defense program, the
annual Urban League Conference
to be held August 80 through
Sept. /, promises to be one of the
most interesting conferences in the
history of the Urban League.
The Conference will be held at
the Detroit Urban League summer
camp located near Jackson, Mich.
Special efforts will be made to in
terest local Urban League men,
bers and directors in attending
this conference.
