ment manager states that no pro-
vision as yet has been made for the
placing of Negro women This
plant carries a standing ADVERTISE
ment in the daily papers asking for

in a second letter to Harper that
heads in the local division o. the
United States Employment office
seemed rather Indifferent about the
existing condition. She further
stated in her letter that-eRe= cor
poration which has Negro place
ment manager has not been per-
mitted TO hire women Of his own
race.
