Conrad's own faith in imminent
liberation is stated in the con-
clusion of Jim Crow America"
where he says:
Il know that Negro liberation
is inevitable as I know that ulti-
mately the liberation of all the
people in the world is inevitable,
for I know that the struggle for
economic and political security is
now a world institution.
Our country, historical land Of
democratic principles, must make
the decision to vanquish racism
If a major task of progress a
century ago was the abolition Of
chattel slavery. there can be no
doubt that in the presen hour q
comparably immense objection is
the abolition of the institutions of
discrimination legalized prejudice
and barriers to national group
understanding. America cannot be

The millieu through which

Conrad Declares Only a New and
Reconstructed Government Will
Put An End to Jim Crow system

NEW YORK-im Crow in the
United States cannot be wiped out
until there is new Reconstruction
government in the South, says
Earl Conrad. in his book, Jim
Crow America just published by
Duell, Sloan and Pearce.
only a new Reconstruction
government in the South such as
was so evilly and forcibly akten
away from the Negro and pro-
gressive whites in the 1905, can
strike at the heart of the segre-
cation evil in American institu-
lions and mems minds" Conrad
declares. Charging that the failure
to enforce the three amendments
brought in after the Civil War
condemns the Constitution as a
document that has persisted in
failure, he author contends that
whether it can be made to work
becomes therefore one of the
major issues of the middle TWEEN
tieth century,"
Conrad, columnist for the
Chicago Defender, says that 1T
must be remembered that color
prejudice was born and nurtu-c1
in America out of the worlD Of
economic greed. 1t was legialatcd
into existence. Discriminatory
laws created prejudice. Enforce
ment of the laws drove the pre-
JUDGE into the peoples minds and
ways. Then, generations of whites
began to appear who accepted,
without question, the status Great
ed by law for them, and CONVEX
sely he status created for the
Negro. BY the same token legis-
lation is a great part of the an
swer, and laws can erase prejudice
if enforced. The author then pro-
poses a new Human Rights A.
mendment' to the Constitution.
"This," he says would make it a
prison offense for anyone to
SANDER, insult or hold in con-
tempt any other for race. color,
creed, religion or national origin.
The battle for such ar amend
ment alone would heighten the
understanding Of millions and set
people in notion

that the great needs of the Negro
people North and South today are

Urban League Pushes for Job
Economic Growth Here

In a resolute effort to raise the
economic level Of Negro citizens
in Omaha, the Urban League has
been active in a series of confer
ences in large downtown estab-
lishments. "Objectives being
sought. said Mr.. Bohanon, Exc
cutive Secretary of the League,
are threefold. First we ask that
Negro applications for work be
properly accepted and processed
along with any others according
to their classification. Secondly,
we seek gradual employment and
Interrogation Of Negro applicants.
according to their occupation and
experience. And third, we request
that Negro persons be tenered job
opportunities in those places and
occupations wherein previously
they have not had the opportunity
to work."
The utility firms, the State Vet
al Employment Service. and
several large private establish
ments are among those places
where negotiations and confer
ences have all in evidence for
weeks. The Urban League reports
that the number of places that do
not hire Negroes at all and those
that hire only a few in unskilled
capacities is a shocking revela-
ton. Encouraging is the splendid
cordiality in which top manage
ment has received Mr. Taylor, the
Industrial Secretary and the In
dustrial Committee when they
have called at their offices to con-
fer on the problem of employment
and Indignation. The problem it.
self is not foreign to these firms.
Mr.. Taylor revealed, but it has
been considered an abstruse sub
ject with cut active reconition.
While in most cases, actual re-
suits will be slow and gradual. the
general outlook for some success
is bright. The precarious econo
mic conditions which confront so
many Negro people creates an
Unsuitable desire for sure action
and rapid results. Negro citizens
want more and better jobs op-
portunities. Notwithstanding need
over coming barriers and pioneer
ing new jobs in new occupations
are accomplishments that do not
arrive with haste. +,
Partial results obtained onlv
this week it was revealed. have
been the promise of jobs such as
metalfinishers, process worker.
janitors and several office work
ers. Mr.. Taylor emphasized the
fact that office workers must be
trained and experience while other
need only to be staple, opsessed
good character and personal
-ty, have good work habits, be de-
pendable exercise good judge
ment and good conduct. Those
persons who meet the above re-
1uirments and are either unem-
on a job below skill and
1esire are urged to register at the
Urban League at once.
