The children returned home and
told their aunt, Mrs. Bertha

Mrs. Stearns then approached the

told by the girl that il was the

Mrs. Stearnes went to the the

A survey recently made. accord
ing to Adde's, shows that although
the plant presently employs around
10000 workers less than TOO are
colored, and that the company has
hired less than Ito OF per cent OF
Negro workers sent 10 them by the
USES.
Adde's charged that the Ford
Motor company:
!. Was constantly refusing to hire
Negro applicants through regular
employment channels.
2. That the company continues to
bring in women from the Southern
and Eastern States without any
previous training. pay their trans
portstion expenses TO the Bomber
Plant, give them employment while
at the same time denying Negro
women in the immediate vicinity
the opportunity to work.
3. That many cases are on record
where these immigrants have been
given sweepers jobs, jobs which
could definitely be given to UNI
skilled workers and unemployed
workers in the immed ate vicinity
OF the plant.
4. That the company deliberately
refused TO train Negroes and that
hundreds OF we'll educated, many
with a college education. are de-
MED the opportunity OF helping in
the war effort.
S. That the company refuses to
upgrade qualified Negro workers
10 the Inspection Department even
though supervision admits they are
much more capable than others al
ready upgraded.
6. That in most cases Negroes are
permitted to fill out application
blanks, referred to the USES in
Ypsilanti and referred by the USES
to mental work as maids, porters,
and other non-defense work in
small places.
In discussing the situation, ADDE'S
declared, that, il the War Depart
ment, instead OF asking for a draft
Of labor, would compel the Ford
Motor company and other employers
to live up to the letter and spirit
of Presidential Order 1902. there
would not be the manpower short
age which they claim there is. If
this nation is to reach its maximum
in war production, all manpower,
regardless Of race, color or creed,
should be utilized This must be
done before there is any talk of a
national drafting of labor"
In asking for an investigation by
these government agencies, Mr..
Adde's said, that the files Of the
War Policy Division, together with
affidavits from workers and sur
veys made by the department,
would be at their disposal"

Statement From
LightfoOt's Widow

by my patrons and my help. I pro-
test these underhand methods OF
wrecking the reputation of bust
ness maintained by Negro capital,
and therefore am taking this direct
method OF presenting my case to
you, the public, to be the Judge and
jury.
One OF the lies being spread is
that the B. and c. is either owned,
operated. or partly managed by
those other than members OF the
Negro race. This story was spread
TO create i'll feeling between the
races. Even IL il were true, it
would be no basis for i'll feeling,
but it is a falsehood. The Club B..
and c. is owned, operated. and
stated by members OF our own race.
The estate is still in the hands Of
the probate court and therefore the
establishment has TO be operated
through the administrator and his
agents who are appointed jointly
by the court.
Sincerely.
