PORT PROJECT
Benefits WORKERS At
LBERIANS' EXPENSE

MONROVIA, Liberia, Sept. II
(ANP)-Fat Bay envelopes on the
port construction project here go to
American whites and foreign-born
workers rather than to tax-paying
Liberians and American Negroes.
A recommendation was made
here last week during conference
OF representatives Of the u. S.
Navy, Raymond Pile Concrete Co.,
and the Liberian government for
dark-skinned Liberians to be en-
ployed as overseers of non-technical
jobs as move to reduce the cost
OF the port. Employment of tech
nically trained American Negroes
was urged to work along side white
Americans.
Choice jobs on the construction
project not only go to whites, but
Llberlans are the targets of the
worst Dixie jimcrow. Facts un-
folded during the conference, at

tended by Henry B. Duncan, LII
beria's liaison officer; u. S. Navy
Comdr. w. K. Trimble, officer in
charge of port construction, and DR..
A. Schnitzer, contract surgeon, con-
stitute an indict against the .abor
policies of the Raymond Pile Con-
crete Co., New York firm:
1. Failure to employ Liberians as !.
overseers of non-technical jobs and
to utilize Liberians in their maxi
mum skill, although Liberians will
be paying the cost of harbor con-
struction for generations to come.
2. Failure to provide adequate
protection for Liberian workers by
formulation of workmen's compen-
sation policies, disqualification and
medical attention.
3. Failure to provide canteen and
food privileges for Liberian work
ers in the same manner provided
for white and foreign born workers.
4. Applications of a 12-hour work
dsy for Liberians rather than the
conventional eight-hour shift for
white and foreign born employees.

rillos hang the sharp barbs in his
hide as he charges, his anger knows
no bounds. Toreadors then gallop
in on horses, carrying long lances
with which they try to hold the bull
off from tossing their mounts into
the air then paving and goring
them on the ground. Last of all
comes the matador, on foot, carry
ing sword and a cape. He is the
star and shows unsurpassed brav-
cry and cleverness in meeting his
four-footed opponent and side
stepping his headlong plunges with
his great sharp horns glistening.
The best of the matadors was a
handsome young fellow named
Pedro who killed the first and the
fourth bull, plunging his sword
through his heart with one thrust,
while the Mexican senoras and
gentle SenOrltaS, besides the ladies'
of our own party, yelled "Matar!
Matar! Kill him! Bravo! Bravo"
Tia Juana is gay. like carnival,
San Diego is jam-packed with hu-
manity; sailors everywhere, and
housing nowhere. Plenty of colored
people in town, and all seem to have
plenty of spending dough. Surar
Chile Robinson, with Dorothy Dan
bridge, was packing Them m at the
theatre downtown, and the Crystal
Palace floor show, with song-bird
Flo Jarret jamming theEc in at the
Douglas.
Added to the current bill some
new acts at the Club Alabam, stand
out on equality with any ever pre-
sented in Hollywood, New York or
any other eastern city.

Harriet Crawford in her history
of the Washington State Grange
says the progressive trend of this
organization was due largely to its
association with the Oregon State
Grange and its increasing frater-
nalism with organized labor. State
Grange Master C.. B. Kegley ac-
lively fostered cooperation with
labor by appointing a committee
to lobby for bills in the state leg
islature in which farmers and the
working man were mutually in
terested.
Mrs. Crawford says: .The ten
