On Employment
Fair Practices
.Ra.nwss.A.
ISOLATION


Editorial In Midwest Scandinavian
There has recently been a check
up among Minneapolis stores to
ascertain II Negroes have an equal
opportunity with other applicants
Of finding employment as sales
people. The committee reports
that only two big stores on Mic
ollet Ave. declared that It would
be impossible for them to use
Negro clerks.
II would not be fair to surmise
that this attitude II founded in
race discrimination; It could be
due to other considerations. There
is an old adage that says; the
customer Is always right" and
perhaps the managers Of the two
stores in question have the err
roneous notion that some custo-
mers resent the presence OF Ne
groes In the busy marts Of trade.
Well the adage about customers
being always right is false and
so undoubtedly is the second sup
position.
As a matter of fact the Ameri-
can scene would not seem natural
II all the able Negro background
were removed. From day to day
Negroes perform a multitude Of
tasks in all walks of life that have
become 80 routine that we hardly
give them thought; yet, II they
were removed by such phases as
handed down by a couple of de-
partment stores we would GER
tainly miss them. Most likely
many Of the fur pelts displayed in
one of these emporiums have been
SHARED by hunters Of Negro origin,
and a lot Of basic material in all
our stores has certainly been
grown and produced by citizens of
the Southland.
1t is altogether terribly diff
cult to fathom just why a couple
Of stores should voluntarily de-
prive themselves Of an opportun-
ity to select the best help avail
able. And, II you are looking for
the best In American enterprise,
you must consider the Negro as
well As any other human source.
Furthermore, II certain groups are
TO be isolated from American daily
life and welfare, such an attitude
might affront any type, race or
group Including the Scandina-
vians."

How did the deadly circle start
turning? The congressman has
pandered to the lowest instincts
Of the people in order to stay in
office. Now we seem to be in col
fusion with each other to destroy
a wonderful system of government
as well as all mutual respect"
Does a Congressman have to
compromise himself to stay in Of

think they do and the people
think they do, and in the end it
amounts to the same thing"

one word: GIMME Democracy
is the CUTS Of a republic, but only
the CUTS. People get confused.

ed the people accepted RESPONSE
bility for the men they sent to
office"
Now that point of view is
growing obsolete. Democracy is
being twisted into a burlesque of
itself 49, into an avoidance of all
responsibility a system under
which the people shake one anoth-
err down endlessly."
