The daily papers carried advertise
ments stating that workers were
needed. Whenever Negro appi-
cants called at the United States
Employment Service, they were
discouraged.
The St. Paul Urban Leagues at
tention was called to this matter by
two applicants who were seeking
employment with Metcalfe Hamil-
ton Kansas City Bridge Construc-
ton Company. One of the men had
worked on the Alaska Highway
project the previous year for an
other company, but his employment
was terminated because the COM
pany did not renew its contract.
His work was satisfactory.
Mr.. Owens referred the matter
to the Twin City Fair Employment
Practice Council. After a confer
ence with Judge Vince Day, chair
man of the Twin City FEPC, the
regional director of the War Man.
power Commission and representa-
tives of the USES, the following
procedure was established.
The Employment Service
agreed to hire Negro citizens
who qualified for employment
on the Alaska Highway prof.
ect and refer them to the
companies for transportation.
The companies would be mott
fed that they would be charged
with violating the Presidents
Executive Order prohibiting
discrimination in war indus
tries if the men were not ac-
copied.
The two applicants who had
called the situation to the Leagues
attention were turned down by the
medical examiners. The next ap-
plicant was Purcell P. Parker of
st. Paul who had been honorably
discharged from the United States
Army. Inasmuch as he was re-
garded as being in excellent health
at the time of his release, the ex-
aiming physicians for the COM
panies could not turn him down for
failure to pass the medical exam
nation. He was employed by the
Metcalfe Hamilton Kansas City
Bridge Construction Company.
When Mr.. Parker arrived in Can
ada, he discovered that he was the
only Negro employed by the COM
pany. Since that time additional
Negro workers have been accepted
not only from st. Paul, but vari-
Gus sections of the country.
The st. Paul Urban League urges
any Negro applicant who desires
employment on the Alaska High
way project to make application at
the United States Employment
Service.

40 Homes Needed
for Children
in Minneapolis

Need for more than 40 homes in
Minneapolis and Hennepin County
where 24-hour care can be provided
homeless and dependent Negro
children was emphasized today by
the War Emergency Child Care
committee of Minneapolis Defense
Council.
With the slogan, children Come
First" the campaign is planned to
terminate September 7. Goal is to
place 400 children by that date.
Headquarters for the drive, in
which all child caring agencies in
Minneapolis and Hennepin County
are participating, are at 44O Sexton
building, GE. 1862, and GE. 1858.
Interested persons may phone or
make applications at this address.
Ordinarily, it is pointed out,
there is a sufficient number of
boarding homes in the community
to provide the care needed for
these children, but that the war
has created special problems and
that:
1. Number of homes available
during peace time for boarding
care of children has decreased be-
cause of the shortage of houses
and because of the demand for
rooms by war workers.
2. Number of children who need
boarding home care has increased
because of the war; some of these
children have fathers in the armed
forces and their mothers are re-
quired to secure employment be-
cause of insufficient servicemen
dependency allotments; men now
working on night shifts in war
plants, and who were formerly able
to make a home for their children
although the mothers were dead or
invalided, or for some reason were
not present in the home, are no
longer able to make a home.
The need is greatest for home
care of adolescent children rather
than for infants, the committee
stated. ~ -.
