ID. w. Oman & Sons
Continue to Hire
Qualified Negroes

D. w. Oman and Sons, Minneapo-
lis defense contract firm, is contin-
uing to carry out its fair labor pol
icy by employing workers without
regard to race. At the outset of
the defense production this firm,
which already employed one Ne
gro, began to employ others as
their defense contracts warranted
an increase in their working force.
This company, which does not
begin to compare in size with other
local contract firms, now employs
10 Negroes. The most recent one
employed is Paul Mayes, 1916
Fourth Ave. So.
During an interview with an Of
fetal of the firm, Chas. w. Wash
ington, Local Urban League Sec
rotary, was told that Negroes
were being employed because addi-
tional workers were needed and the
company makes no distinction as
to race in its employment policy.
He also stated that Negroes were
not being held down to the lowest
grade Of employment.
A Negro supervises the work of
the maintenance service which Is
made up Of both white and Negro
workers. Another Negro is en-
'ployed in the company's dyeing
room in a semi-skilled capacity.

A conference findings commit
tee, headed by DR.. F. Stuart

ate the conference and decide what
steps will follow it.
"The Twin Cities Conference"
said Mr.. Oxley, "is a part of a
Nationwide effort to alleviate un-
employment and find workers with
skills needed in defense industries.
Similar conferences have been
held in a number of States and
have led to the stimulation in gath
ering of factual information on
types of employment and the de-
gree to which Negroes are en-
ployed. This has an important
bearing on placement activities for
defense jobs" said Mr.. Oxley.
Mr.. Oxley further stated that his
chief detectives as director of the
