New Avenues of
Employment Are
Open to Negroes

The Minneapolis Urban League
this week revealed that avenues of
employment heretofore closed to
Negroes continue to open up under
the pressure of the wartime man.
power shortage. These openings
are occurring in non-essential firms
as well as in essential war plants.
This week the Urban League re-
ported the employment of Sarah
Vaughn and Bernice Gray as stock
girls at Maurice L. Rothschild's.
Several other women are to be
called in later in the week. Young
women interested in this type of
work should Immediately call the
Urban League office.
Opportunities for stenographers
and typists are also developing.
Those who possess such training
and seeking employment in these
occupations are also requested to
contact the Minneapolis League
office.

positions held by members of the
race, it has never attained the
unity of political action nor availed
itself of the strategical maneuvers
its population allows it to press
home emphatically the fact that it
will not tolerate a situation in
which it is not allowed to pick its
own representative for congress.
While it is true that Harlem is
included in portions of several
other districts in congressional
district from which it would send
Negro to congress, the fact re-
mains that the right kind of politi-
cal pressure, plus intelligent use
of the ballot by the electorate up
on instructions from qualified
leadership would turn the trick.
Some political seers believe that
if Harlem once elected its own con-
gresham, another would soon come
from the heavily populated Negro
district in Virginia, one would be
elected from Detroit's Harlem, and
another might possibly be chosen
from st. Louis which would thus
enable the Negro to establish his
own congressional bloc in Washing
ton and one based on race as well as
political affiliations.
Detroit has tried for years to
name a Negro to congress, many
thought that behind the decision
of Arthur w. Mitchell of Chicago
not to run for reelection was the
fact that he wanted to become the
first Negro since reconstruction to
be elected from Virginia where he
has bought extensive property and
where he plans the life of a country
squire in his old days.
One thing, the political pot is
brewing up a nice mess Of some
thing in Harlem today. It might
brew up Harlem's first congress-
man. Who knows?

r. r. Color Bar
Hearings Set For
September 1918

WASHINGTON,D ID. C.-ChargeS
of discrimination in employment
because of race or color, lodged
against % railroads and IA labor
unions, will be examined by the
Presidents Committee on Fair En-
ployment Practice (FEPC) at hear
ings to be held September 1918,
1913, in Washington, D. c. The
hearings will be held at the De-
partmental Auditorium, Depart
ment of Labor, 18th and Constitu-
ton Avenue, Northwest.
Complaints received by the FEPC
allege that the practices and pol
icies under question fail to conform
to the provisions of Executive Order
1902 as amended by Executive Or
der 9346, to the detriment Of the
prosecution of the war, the workers
morale and national unity. Most
of the charges involve the question
of discrimination against Negro
workers. In some cases, workers
of Mexican origin are involved. One
or more of the several charges in
wolves each railroad and union cited.
Exhaustive investigation by the
FEPC has resulted in the compila-
ton of lengthy list of allegations
involving agreements between rail-
roads and unions whereby the eff
fective utilization of available quail
fed manpower has been hampered
because of discriminatory employ
ment practices based on race.
Chief among the practices coming
under scrutiny of the Committee is
that of considering Negro railroad
workers "non-promotables." This
is alleged to have been done through
the negotiation of agreements be-
tween union and railroad which set
certain restrictions on the percent
age of Negroes which may be en-
ployed in a stipulated category.
These agreements, together with
enactment of union regulations lin
iting or barring non-white member
ship serves, it is charged, tend to
reduce sharply the number of quail
fed Negroes employed by the rail-
roads despite an increasing need for
such labor.

gressional District while he was in
st. Paul.
The committee was to have asked
the st. Paul representative to ex-
plain his reasons for his vote and
stand on certain legislation before
the Congress that affected Negroes.
But apparently the committee will
have to wait for an interview with
Rep. Mas, whose voting record in
the last session of Congress was
not very favorable to legislation
that would benefit the Negro and
other minority groups.
On Friday morning, Sept. 8, Rev.
Clarence T. R. Nelson, president
of the st. Paul Branch of the
NAACP, called Mr.. Mas office to
make an appointment. He was told
by C. A. Jordan, Mr.. Mas secre-
tary, that it would not be possible
to see Rep. Mas until the next
week. Mr.. Jordan told Rev. Nelson
that he would call him the first Of
the next week.
On Wednesday morning Of this
week, not having received a call
from Mr.. Jordan, Rev. Nelson called
him. Mr.. Jordan told Rev. Nelson
that he could not give the commit
tee an appointment to see Mr.. Mas
because the congressman had been
called back to Washington two days
earlier than had been expected.
~YOu Got What You Expected"
Rev. Nelson told Mr.. Jordan,
That's just what expected" Mr..
Jordan replied, well, you got what
you expected" Rev. Nelson told a
representative Of the Spokesman
and Recorder, "Well, we got the
old run around again"
maAS RECORD
According to a record Of the vot-
ing of Congressman Mas in the re-
cent session of Congress compiled
by the national office of the
NAACP, Rep. Mas record is as
follows on matters of particular in
terest to Negroes. He was absent
when the vote was taken on the
Anti-Poll Tax Bill in 1912 and again
in 1913. He voted against the Pick
ems dismissal and against the con-
tinuance of the NYA. He voted for
the Smith Connally Anti-strike bill
and for the continuance Of the Dies
Committee.
