said last week that the an
proximate 400 Negroes here
among a total population OF near
ly 10000 are scattered through
out the city.
However. this does not mean
that all tho white citizens en-
brace you, for during the last 25
years some areas have feared A
drop In property values II Ne

instances colored families have
examined property at night and

Prior 10 this war the economic
situation was tough on the Ne
gro in those parts and. with
few exceptions. domestic work
and common labor was the only
work available. Today. scores OF
San Jose colored workers are in
the canneries. which were for
merly closed TO us. War work
has attracted many others 10 Los

nearby Sunnyyale. Frisco, Oak

who are at work. charge up TO

demand the best working condi-
