ia Men Drafted;
Hardship Sets
Order Of Call

With some men in Class 3A
already being called for imme-
date induction into the army
here. 1t. Col. Paul V. Engstrom,
assistant state draft director, to-
day revealed the order in which
men in Class 3A will be called.
Colonel Engstrom explained that
most Of the men now being
drafted are lbs, but he said that
a few Class "a men are being
called who are single and have
only Class B dependents 10 whose
support they are contributing
only a small sum.
(Class B dependents are per-
sons like sisters, brothers and
parents. Class A dependents are
wives and children.)
LITTLE HARDSHIP
These single men are being
taken I'm cases where not too
much hardship results for their
n dependents, pending the start
of allotment payments" said
Colonel Engstrom.
He said the following is the
order in which "a men will be
called UP for induction:
Three-A men who are single
and are contributing only a
small amount monthly 10 B de-
pendents (these are the men
being called now In relatively
small numbersl.
Three-B men twar workers.
who are also single and under
the same circumstances as re-
CARDS dependents.
Three-A men who are mar
ried to a wife who Is working
and can support herself, or who
has some other income which
makes here independent.
. Three-B men (war work.
ers) who are married but wives
able TO support themselves.
. Three-A men with a wife
who is not working.
. Three-B men (war work.
ers) with a wife who Is not
working.
LONGER DEFERMENT
Colonel Engstrom added:
'sIn cases where q wife II not
working. IL now appears likely
that longer deferment will be
granted. A for "a and 3B men
with children, they are not to
b called at all until we receive
further instructions from Wash
ington.
Elm this connection I might
say that IL appears reasonable
that . man with 10 children
should receive longer deferment
than one with one or two chill
dren."
In reply to queries by a number
Of married men with children who
have received a card from their
draft board recently. asking them
TO report to the board in 10 days,
Engstrom explained that this Is
merely for the purpose Of obtain
ing further information for their
questionnafres and Is not call
for induction.

EMPLOYMENT AMONG OUR
GROUP AT THE TURN
OF THE CENTURY

As LOOK BACK at the passing
~ years and review the many
changes that | have lived TO see
that have taken place here T. the
city OF Detroit. perhaps the trend OF
employment among our group
stands out in my memories above
all others.
Like many thousands OF things
We have here today. we did not
dream about in those days. are
thousands OF big factories employ
ing thousands OF men, and on the
other hand. City Welfare feeding
hundreds who cannot find employ
ment to support themselves; lastly.
and perhaps the most important OF
them all--"big pay envelopes that
hundreds of men are drawing daily
in the city OF Detroit. and many OF
them are members OF our race.
At the turn OF the century, hotels,
railroads and the boats furnished
most OF the work for colored people
here. Walters and porters as well
as the kitchen help in big hotels
were all colored. The Cadillac
Wayne and Russell House were the
leading hotels which employed hun
dreds of our group in the above ca
pacities. The pay for such work
ranged from $50 to $50 per month,
and we were usually paid once or
twice monthly.
During the summer season the
boats used a host OF colored help
such as cooks. walters, porters. etc.
The Michigan Central. Grand
Trunk and wabash railroads used a
great number OF colored people in
their employment as dining car
porters, cooks and other kitchen
help.
believe the biggest factory in
this area employing colored was a
tannery located in Hamtramck
This plant made cow-hides into
leather. also made coloring and dye
for leather. They employed a
number OF colored as common la
borers. There was sheet iron
plant also in Hamtramck that used
few colored people. That was
about 1898.
Such streets as Jefferson avenue
were being paved at that time and
a number OF colored were used "a
do that work.
There were only few colored
mailcarriers here in the city at the
turn OF the century.
1t was only a dream to walk on
the street and see a colored man
wearing the uniform OF a police
man. However. as far as can re-
call. there were two colored de-
tectives on the police force at that
time.
