vice, and some Of the privately
operated have mapped out a plan
by which TO iron out problems
that confront them In obtaining
jobs for their applicants.
Alarmed at the increasing
amount Of unemployment in st.
Paul, representatives from these
agencies have periodic meetings
so that both sides may be fully
informed on current trends and
tendencies.
The unemployment situation
tends to retard the progress made
by the Urban League and the EN-
ployment committee Of the Round
Table Of Christians and Jews in
the elimination of discrimination
in Job placements.
Through the efforts Of Whitney
Young, Jr., industrial secretary
Of the st. Paul Urban League, the
general picture Of race status and
employment was steadily being
improved.
"As the picture now stands"
Mr.. Young stated, "the places
that hired the bulk Of the Negroes
are those hardest hit. Too, much
of the laying off Is being done on
the basis Of seniority, and since
Negroes were not hired until the
white labor market had been eS-
hausted, the Negroes have nc
seniority"
According to Mr.. Young, there
has been an increase Of 80 pei
cent Of Negroes looking for job
this year over those looking fol
Jobs at the same time last year
There has been an increase Of
only is per cent Of the genera
population Of the state looking
for Jobs, a. compared TO the SAM
time last year, according to tn

against him.
Miss Mosay could not be located
for the trial as she was reported
to have left town a day after
Golden was arrested. Two other
men witnesses testified that Col
den struck the woman.
Golden charged that his sen
tence was a miscarriage Of jus
tice" in that the two men swore
out a warrant against him, with
out the woman's knowledge.
Judge Otis stated that the evi'
dence Of the two witnesses wal
enough to convict Golden of as
sault. He gave Golden an alterna
tive Of 10 days in the worlEhous'

DR.. Pace, in introducing DR..
White, emphasized that In sup
porting this fund, contributors
are not only helping colleges, but
$4,000 students in college.
Calling contributions to this
fund can investment In Democra-
ey," DR.. White explained the ORE
gin Of the College fund idea, how
it operates, and what schools
benefit from Il. He also told brief
histories Of some Of the Funds
member colleges.
The fund drive idea arose five
years ago after criticism of the
duplication Of requests for funds
made by various college pren"
dents. Consequently, college pres
idents met in New York, at the
invitation Of John d. Rockefeller,
Jr., and planned ways Of pooling
their resources to keep the coll
leges operating.
Operated under general head
quarters in New York, the fund
drive viii be conducted each year
The campaign is now being car
ried on in 20 cities throughout
the country.
The full quota of the drive ID
81, 100000, which Ia to be divided
among the 81 member institu'
tons. This amount constitutes
one-tenth Of the amount required
for the full operation Of thu
schools.
The quota in st. Paul Is $10s
900 and the Minneapolis quota 4
$4,000. One-third Of the tota
amount raised is TO be divides
equally among the member insh
buttons; one-thlrd will be put Il
the endowment fund and operat
ing expenses; and one-third vii
be distributed on the basis Of ay
erage attendance of the college
during the last five years.
In giving brief histories o
some Of the member institutions
DR.. White revealed that some Q
them grew Of work Of ex-slayei
railroad boxcars, high schools
Easements in churches, and eve
q prison.
In closing, DR.. White empha
sized that now was the opportr
nifty to do something in dollar
and cents to make America bel
ter.

portunity to aid many potentii
