INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
IN NEGRO EMPLOYMENT
BY H. d. Coke

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Mar. l
(ANP).-The large government ar
senal located here has been an ex-
pertinent in the employment and
classification of Negro workers. In
June of 1943, 80 young women
moved in from Atlanta where they
had been trained; others came from
Birmingham, Nashville and nearby
points. These persons were pioneers
in a new field in the south. Theirs
were tasks of supervisors, time
keepers, foremen and chemical war
fare workers. In all some 70 Ne
groes were employed in one section
to mix the powder and place the
charges that was to fall on the en-
emy.
Today most Of the pioneers have
gone, some because the work was
hard, others because of attitudes
of employer or employees. A young
man, college trained from Nash
vile, was made supervisor, another
foreman. They were soon replaced
with white officers because the Ne
groes (most Of them being former
Huntsville formers) made the re-
quest. The pay was good and still is
but others left because the white
U. S. Army officers show their au-
thority. ..---,-. 81
Today there are three Negro
chemists empbyed at the arsenal
and they are making good. There
are still time Keepers. Negro sol
diers weie@stationed here but the.
white tosvnspeople asked for their
removal.
The writer was told that absen-
teeism is still running high, some
times SO per cent following pay day.
The whites lead the Negro workers
in absenteeism. The government,
however, is hard at work doing
something about it. Today when
worker is absent a member of the
FBI investigates. If sickness is CIV
en- as the reason he must be sick or
it can be year and day. This has
not, however, solved the problem. A
young woman told me that only 81
reported for work on her line where
70 are employed. She stated that
this usually occurs a day or two
after pay day.

mountain labored and brought forth
mouse. The "Citizens' Commit
tee," alias the N.A.A.C.P., alias
the Frontiers Club, has just ended
its newspaper trial Of Professor
MacFarlane and found him guilty
and ripe for removal. And why
not? With the "Citizens' Commit
tee" acting as prosecutor, jury, and
Judge, with the evidence based on
hearsay or manufactured out of
whole cloth, with the witnesses
consisting of teachers whose names
they dare not mention, and whose
testimony, therefore, cannot be
checked and verified, the result
was a foregone conclusion.
The story, of course, is the old one
of crabs in barrel, Of people say
ing they love God whom they have
not seen and hating their brother
whom they have seen. 1t is the story
Of Gains desire to slay Abel, be-
cause Abel's offering was more ac-
ceptable than his own. 1t is per-
secution pure and simple of
man whose outstanding qualities
they are too small to acknowledge,
too jealous to admit. And to cap
climax, we are, in this season Of
Lent, treated to the spectacle of
religious leaders egging on the
pack-leaders who, for all their
Negro-white or Negro white Indian
blood, were, are now, and we have
a hunch ever shall be. nastors Of
segregated Negro cl IS The
kettle calling the pot sea-!
In the meantime, tt hypocrisy
and double talk of our opponents
is such that any intelligent person
can see it with half an eye. Why,
for example, are we not told how
many members the "Citizens' Com
mittee" represents? Good faith
surely demands this, something
which even the Frontiers Club
realized. A body of such prominent
citizens should not need to sail
under false colors. Why, too, were
the signature of the members not
affixed to handbills and articles?
1t is to hide the fact that some
refused to sign? And since the
Committee claims to be an inter-
racial body, how does it happen
that not one solitary white liberal
is among the officers? What
phony interracial committee is
this with segregated Negro staff
Only a lawyer who knows he has
bad case on his hands resorts to
trickery of this kind.
The same humbug crops out
again in their shifting of the issue
from Professor MacFarlane tx
segregated schools and back agair
to MacFarlane. According to nj
less an authority than the presi
dent of the "Citizens' Committee
in an article some weeks ago, the
main issue of the campaign was
to get rid of the separate Negro
schools to make room for mixed
schools with mixed" faculties
"Not only Dunbar, but all segre
gated schools must CO." we wer,
told. This was still the line at thu
mass meeting held at Dunbar OF
January 10th. Negros, we heard
should be teachers, not just Negro
teachers, whatever the gibberisl
means. Naturally enough, teacher!
in Dunbar and other Negro schools
began to feel their security threat.

DAYTON, THURSDAY, MARCH !, 1945
THE DUNBAR DEFENSE ASSOCIATION
SAYS "MACFARLANE SHALL STAY"


saw which way the wind was blow
ing and beat hasty retreat. Now
the Negro instructors are to be
wards of the "Citizens' Commit
tee", and those at Dunbar are to
be rescued, whatever the cost,
from the tyranny of MacFarlane
But there was yet another reason
for this last shift. One Of the big
shots, who hates Negro schools
like the devil hates holy water,
managed to land a job for a men,
ber of the family in one of those
very schools, and others now hope
to do likewise, their Growing and
cackling against segregation not
withstanding.
Whether the teachers fall for
this line and succumb to the Com
mittee's embrace of death or not,
the attempt to court the favor of
the plain people, whose children
make up the bulk Of the Dunbar
student body, is doomed to fail
ure. Not only have our parents
been consistently highhatted, but
our childen have been called
"morons," women" and other
humiliating names before other
pupils by teachers in their own
school. Some years ago, class of
students was told that their parents
could not be invited to a formal
dance at the school, because they
had no long-tail dresses, and even
if they had, they would not know
how to act. A delegation of parents
was promptly sent to the principal
to protest. Recently another teach
er remarked to a parent that the
socially prominent Negros did not
send their children to Dunbar. Last,
but by no means least, some Of our
mothers who appeared before the
Board of Education several weeks
ago in Support Of Dunbar and Prin-
cipal MacFarlane we're contemptu-
ously described as handkerchief
heads" Jot this down, parents, for
future reference. The very fact
that they think they can oust Pro-
fessor MacFarlane after we par
ents have declared our confidence
in him is positive proof that they
believe our wishes carry no weight,
that we just don't rate. Let's see,
then.
One of the main reasons for the
opposition to Professor MacFarlane
| on the one hand and or-the love and
respect in which he is held by both
parents and pupils on the other is his
absolute fairness and unfailing
kindness to each and every pupil.
He loves them all, the children of
poor parents no less than those of
the more prosperous. Democratic
simplicity is the rule at all times.
Each one is treated as personality
entitled to respect; no one is humil-
lated and made to feel inferior
Pupils from the south are not
crushed and browbeaten, but are
regarded as members of one family
The pride he has instilled into all
his students is one of his greatest
achievements. They know when they
are insulted; they refuse to be used
as background for the glorification
Of others; they have learned that
democracy in it's practical applica-
tion is the rule of the people through
the majority. They would rather be
the head of squirrel than the tail

He would have His hour before
the end. He let the people acclaim
Him as the Son of David. He well
coined the hosannas. He accepted
as His right the enthusiastic devo-
ton of the common people. He gave
the multitude in the city opportun-
ity to pay their devotion to Him as
the long-expected King and Mes
siah. The shouts of "hosanna" were
music in His ears-though He well
knew that few days later some of
those same men would be crying,
Cruelty Him!"
AS it was in old Galilee and Judea,
so 1t is today. The best friends of
Jesus, the quickest to accept and
follow Him, are the plain people.
AS the triumphal procession en-
tered Jerusalem, the passover pill
grims and the city folk who had
not been aware of Jesus, cried Who
Is this?"
Invested with new authority by
the acclaim Of the multitudes, Jesus
entered the temple courts and dras-
tically cleaned out the graft with
which they were encrusted. Grad
ually. by the connivance of the
priestly party who shared the
profits, there had grown up in the
sacred area a variety of businesses
money changing, sale of animals
for sacrifice, etc. The flaming in
dignation Of Jesus at this perversion
of His fathers house of prayer
into den of robbers showed side
of His character that needs to be
stressed today. Incidentally, 1t won
Him the deadly antagonism of the
vested interests of His day. He

In 1875 a mission was started by
members which subsequently be-
came the Simpson Methodist
Church. A little later the Peoples
Congregational Church was born
out of the Asbury membership. Ear
lier. in the 1850s, the local institu-
ton gave rise to the John Wesley

ment to DR.. Clair.
An outstanding feature of the
church activities through the years
has been its choir. The original
group was formed in 1896, with Ben
jamin Mccoy as the first director
The choir received great impetus
In 1866 when Joseph Ambush, one
of the leading colored singers in
the country, was converted during a
spiritual revival and became a mem
ber of the church. The pastor at
the time was the Rev. Caesar john
son. The singer joined the senior
choir, directed by Thomas P. Bell,
in 1873. Mr.. Bell was director for
25 years and died in 1891 while
singing the hymn ASLEEP in Jesus"
over the body Of the Rev. Henry
Pinkney.
The Sunday School was organ
lied in 1886 by the Rev. John F.
Cook, founder of the Fifteenth
Street Presbyterian Church, and
Mr.. Mccoy, with the latter as the
first superintendent. 1t first met
in the John F. Cook Building at
Fourteenth and H streets NV.
Pastors succeeding DR.. Clair were
the Rev. Drs. Julius S. Carroll,
James U. King and J. H. jenkins.
The present pastor, the Rev. DR..
Robert Moten williams, came here
in March, 1881. He is a grad
uate of Morningside College. Sioux
City, Iowa, and of Cannon Theo-
logical Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. He
has done postgraduate work al
Union Theological Seminary in New
York City and has had conferred
on him the honorary degree of D. D
by both Wiley (Tex) College and
Cannon Theological Seminary.
DR.. Williams is president of the
Interdenominational Ministers Alli-
ance of Washington and chairman
OF the Social Action Committee of
the Methodist Ministers Union. He
is also a member of the Citizens
Committee on Race Relations,
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and
Draft Board No. 49,
He has three sons by his first
wife, who was Miss Adelia Amber
before her marriage, who died in
1896. They are DR.. Emerson A. Will
