In 1906. the committee for Inn
proving Industrial Conditions OF
Negroes in New York had It's in
ception. II worked the beginning
OF Negro-white work pattern.
Growing out OF the work under
taken by the Committee. the idea
Of a National Urban League was
conceived and in 1910 that idea
or organism was born. The Nation-
al Urban League grew out OF this
basic recognition OF the
serious industrial and economic
handicaps under which the Negro
labors. not only by reason OF race
discrimination, hut also by reason
OF lack OF industrial training and
efficiency"
Southern states enacted segre-
CATION laws. excluding Negroes
from jury service and primaries
enforced separate public school
programs. and segregation OF Ne
groes on public conveyances and
places of public recreation. Dis
elimination In employment against
the Negro and other minority
groups has always been an Ameri-
can employment pattern.

uated after 1866 when 100000

OF employers but rather have re-

pecially request them There are

Planes Grounded Here

Heavy rain and freezing tempera-

Airport this morning as winter made
its debut throughout the country.
whipping up gales on both coasts
and bringing snow as far south
as the Mississippi delta.
The Washington forecaster said
the freezing rain might change to
light snow this afternoon.
Planes were grounded when rain
froze on them faster than it could
be melted away by deicing equip
ment.
Temperatures tonight are expect
ed to fall to the mid 20s and tomor-
row is expected to be cold but sunny,
the forecaster said.
Meanwhile, a storm which bat
tered the Pacific Northwest moved
inland, while new storm to plague
Eastern shipping developed off the
North Carolina coast.
Storm warnings flew this morning
from Cape Hatteras, N. c., to Block
Island, r. ]. A disturbance which
swept across the deep South yester-
day, bringing snow, rain and sub
freezing weather, dissipated.
The snow extended as far south as
Pensacola, Fla, and in Tennessee as
much as 6 inches were reported in
some areas. Snow and sleet dis
rupted traffic and communications
in the Nashville area.
The Pacific storm left at least
three dead, buildings unroofed, trees
toppled, and power poles blown
down in Oregon ana Washington.
Two OF the dead were killed by fall
ing trees.
