Railroads Enddnger
Public Hire Kids
Ruther Thun Negroes

Washington, ID. g. (NNPA)-|
While the safety of the travelling
public and the safety of 16 and IT.
year old boys is endangered by
their employment on railroads as
firemen, trainmen and yardmen, the
Stacy Committee continues to sleep
in the matter of employment of
Negroes which the railroads have
refused to do.
The Children's Bureau of the De-
partment of Labor is attempting to
direct the employment of young
boys, 16 and II, into jobs where
these youths are least likely to get
hurt or to cause injury to others
working on the jobs with them or
travelling.
According to an announcement
last week, the Bureau is working
with the Association of American
Railroads, the railroad brother
hoods and other unions, and
Government agencies, concerned
with transportation. They are draw
ing up advisory standards for en-
ployment of young workers in the
railroad industry.
with the shortage of labor what
it is and with 'railroading' as CLAM
orous as it is to the average Amer
lean boy" the Bureau says, "some
direction is needed to see that these
youngsters are not placed in jobs
where they are likely to get hurt,
or to cause accidents that might tie
up transportation"
The Stacy Committee was ap-
pointed by the President over a year
ago to adjust the impasse which
developed when the railroads re-
fused to abide by the directives of
the FEPC ordering them to cease
their discriminatory practice
against Negroes.
In a recent letter to Charles
Houston, attorney for two organi-
cations of Negro railroad en-
ployees, the Stacy Committee in
dictated it did not intend to take any
action on the case, even though the
Supreme Court had outlawed the
Southeast Carriers Agreement on
which it had based its past in
activity.

Maryland Senate
Votes to Abolish
Jim Crow Cars

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-A
bill called the "Jim Crow" bill, but
abolishing segregation on common
carriers in the state of Maryland,
was passed by the State Senate this
week by a vote of 20 to 9. The law
in Maryland now requires common
carriers to segregate white and
colored passengers in interstate
traffic.
The measure now goes to the
House, where, it is understood, it
will encounter considerable opposi-
ton. There is some fear it may be
pigeon-holed in committee, which
has been the fate of similar bills
during the last 40 years.

Real Estate
Boards Urge
Negro Housing

Washington, D. G. (NNPA)-
The opportunity offered successful
builders in the field of housing con-
struction for Negroes has been
stressed again in a statement by
Harry M. Seldom, Detroit realtor,
recently appointed chairman of the
Negro Housing Committee of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards.
Seldom declared "once it is
recognized that this field offers a
splendid investment for our large
institutional lending associations
and capital is made available, the
builders part in the development
of good Negro housing will natural
ly follow" He suggested to those
who are not now interested in max
ing loans on homes occupied by Ne
groes that they appraise this situa-
ton and see if they do not agree
that many sound loans can be made
on such homes.
provision of such housing by
private industry is past the expert
mental STAGE" he declare d.
Throughout the country we have
many successful examples of build
ing for both sale and rental to
Negroes. Surveys of the NAREB
have shown that the Negro is a
reliable and anxious home buyer.
He takes pride in good property
when he is able to secure it. Private
builders of projects, both large and
small, have been able to sell modern
homes to Negroes on the basis of
monthly payments, which, some
times, are even lower than the
amount the same family formerly
paid in rent for much inferior hous-
ing. The survey also shows that
commitments made by Negroes
have been very well taken care of. "
The Negro Housing committee
was organized by the NAREB to
gather information on the Negro
housing need and the ways in which
it has been practically met by sue
cessful builders for Negroes, and to
encourage widespread entry into
the Negro housing field because of
it's economic opportunity.
One of the biggest drawbacks to
the entry of private enterprise into
this field, however, has been the
policies of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, which will not ap-
prove insurance of loans for Negro
housing in many sites because they
border on white neighborhoods. The
FILA also encourages the use of
restrictive covenants through ad-
vice given in it's manual of opera
tions.

Citizens Rally to Send
Delegation in Support of
Permanent FEPC to ID. C..

latlOn. The Dill concerns the well
fare and security of the nation, he
declared. Cecil Newman spoke
against Senator Taft's proposed
bill, a bill which has no enforcement
powers, which would only make an
investigation to find out if discrimi-
nation in employment really exist
ed. Mr.. Newman said that there
are seventeen international in addi-
ton to many employer unions that
discriminate against Negroes. He
asked that delegation of at least
Is persons be sent to Washington.
Hammond Turner, st. Paul at
torney, made a motion that a per-
manent organization be perfected
by the group as a Twin Cities Coun-
Gil for a Permanent Fair Employ
ment Practices bill and the motion
was passed unanimously. Reuben
Late, of Minneapolis, made a mo-
ton empowering the steering COM
mittee to send kilograms to various
organizations, urging them to send
or assist in sending persons to
Washington on the proposed Min
nesota delegation. An amendment
to Mr.. Latz's motion also empower
ed the steering committee to send
kilograms to the Minnesota Con-
gressmen informing them of the
action of the body and that dele
cation would be in Washington on
Feb. 81.
Judge Edward Waite, Cecil New
man, Jonas Schwartz, Rabbi Minda,
and Mrs. Ruth Gage Colby were
named as the committee to select
the personnel of the delegation to
be sent by the Twin Cities Council.
SOL in cash was raised at the
meeting. Hubert Humphrey pledg-
ed $25, the Spokesman and Re-
corder Newspapers 500. Louis
Gross, president of the Minnesota
Jewish Association said his group
would send a delegate or contribute
5000 to help defray the expenses.
The cost of sending at least Is
persons to Washington by Feb. 81
is to be borne partly by public sub
scription. Several of the suggested
delegates have volunteered to pay
their own way to Washington in
answer to Randolph's fervid plea
for help in Washington.
Wednesday,, members of the
steering committee made solicita-
lions to secure the funds necessary
to send the large group to the
capital. st. Paul ministers agreed
to take a collection for the trip
Sunday morning. The Twin City
division of the B. S. C. P. plans to
send Frank Boyd. Others mentioned
as possible members of the delega-
ton are Harry L. Scott, Mrs. Colby,
Vincent Owens, Talmage B. Carey,
Myrtle Garden, Guy Alexander,
Helen Mndgett, Ethel Maxwell viii
liams, Jonas Schwartz, Wendell
Jones, Rev. C. T. R. Nelson, Mrs.
Peavey Hefflefnger and S. Edward
Hall.
Father Francis Gilligan, chair
man of the state interracial COM
mission, was suggested as a dele
gate because of his deep interest
and support of a permanent F. E.
P. C. but he could not join the
delegation because of previous COM
mitments.
If attempts to raise funds are
successful the group will leave
the Twin Cities Sunday for Wash
ington arriving there on March 81.

Henderson Describes
Work of FEPC

In the February Town Meeting
on Feb. 10, Elmer Henderson, of
Chicago, regional director of the
Presidents Fair Employment Prac-
tees Committee, described the COM
prehensive work of the wartime
agency.

how the committee with a small
budget and limited power had been
able to halt race discrimination in
many areas since the establishment
of the committee.
The committee aided greatly in
the war effort he told the meeting
by forcing employers and unions to
consider the untapped Negro

president, SAID:
"Since Russwurm's Freedoms
Journal in 1927, the Negro Press
has played a significant part in the
evolution of democracy. Negro
newspapers have been the testing
ground for the principles of de-
mocracy and have been in the van
guard of all efforts designed to
raise all Americans to the rank of
first class citizenship.
In the broadest sense, the Negro
press is conducting a crusade for
the preservation and extension of
our democratic ideals. By doing so
the fundamental interest of Ameri-
cans, regardless of race, color, creed
or national origin, are served.
With the theme, "The Negro
Press in Tomorrow's America" the
Negro press is again raising its
sight in envisioning greater democ-
racy and a lasting peace in the
world of tomorrow.
The racial tensions and group an
imosities within our own borders
constitute major problem in plan
ming for Americas tomorrow. Only
through knowledge of the facts and
complete understanding can Amer
ica's realization of her dreams be
consummated."
