It all started in 1873 when young
Cuykendall realized that his fa-
ther frequently had to sell many
Of his peaches on the Philadelphia
and New York markets at ridicu-
iously low prices because there
was an Over-supply Of the fruit at
nome. Sometimes the peaches were
left to rot on the trees.
At the same time, he learned
that the canning firm of w. w.
Howe, just across the Sussex

was successfully canning peaches
as well as vegetables and other

Communications Industry Book

Helped Them Obtain Labor

New York lamp Graphic
ally depicting the manner and ex-
tent to which four Of the worlds
leading communication companies,
employing more than 1910 per-
sons, have complied with the spirit
and provisions of the New York
state law against discrimination,
an illustrated booklet was pub
lished this week by the Com
munieations Industry Committee,
a voluntary group Of top COM
munications executives associated
with the New York state Com
mission Against Discrimination.
Commissioner Edward w. Ed
wards, chairman Of SCAD. in an
nouncing the publication, said that
representatives Of the American
Cable and Radio Corporation, the
New York Telephone Company,
Radio Corporation Of American
Communications, Inc, and the
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany compose the group sponsor
ing the booklet.
Employing many photographs OF
integrated work groups Of opera
tors, clerical workers, trainees,
supervisors, engineers, and other
grades Of employees to tell q story
Of democratic employment prac-
tees to the public, the booklet
illustrates how persons Of diff
ferent races, creeds, colors. and
national origins have been EN-.
ployed in posts Of responsibility
in the industry.
The booklet stresses the fact
that these companies emphasize
skin, experience and aptitude in
selecting their personnel without
regard to differences in race, re-
ligion. and nationality. nlustra-
lions Of work operations depict
highly successful indignation OF
employees Of various religions and
ethnic backgrounds.
Expressing extreme satisfaction
with the publication, Commissioner
Caroline X. Simon, who developed
the industry committee and Is the
liaison commissioner between the
Communications Committee and
the Commission, asserted:
This booklet, the first such
publication 10 emanate from a
group Of private organizations
since the enactment OF this vital
law In I945, Ia significant and
gratifying indication OF the pro.
gress toward non. discriminatory
employment which has been at
tanned under the law.

short years ago. actively opposed
the passage Of the New York
state law against discrimination
ON the misguided grounds that

have been trod only by freedom,
and with those who still seek to
deprive him of his just rights, and
make him a serf in a country
which he has shed his blood to
save.

The only way for the people
to restore political quiet and I'M
obstructed prosperity is to up

move the niger from the wood
pile"
The st. Paul Daily Pioneer gave
the passage of the bill a bitter
flashing. The method in which the
Negro suffrage proposition was
stated to the people in Minnesota
rendered its adoption a swindle.
In the first place, the question
was not stated as for or against.

groes.

flon one, article seven, Of the con-
ssifVfioR, upon which poorly in
formed people might vote either
yes or no, without being aware Of
the fosf 'haf the question Of Negro

Immediately after the suffrage
bill was passed, both political
parties began to vie for the Ne
gro vote. Suddenly they realized
that here was potential power
that had been right under their
noses all along. 1t would be sheer
slaughter TO one IL the other were
able to spirit this power away
Swallowing whatever objections
they might have had over the pas
sage Of the Negro suffrage
amendment, they devoted their ef.
forts to propagandizing the new
voters to their side of the fence
The Republicans were loudest
and sweetest in these tactics Said
the st. Paul Daily Press, on com.

held in 1868 to celebrate the mas

THE NEGRO GAINS HIS
SUFFRAGE IN MINNESOTA
The Negro was a citizen Of Min
nesota for almost two decades
before he was allowed the use Of
the ballot.
Often a bill was discussed in the
Minnesota legislature concerning
the Negro as a voter, but only
negative action had been taken.
Twice 1t was voted on, and both
times defeated.
The bill to permit Negroes to
vote in Minnesota came up for a
third time In the legislature In
1868, At the time, there were not
1000 Negroes in the state. The
1870 census record 759, 437 males
and 322 females.
In IsS7, fhs BIN had been dsssas-
cd BY I,74s votes. vosiss for rho
bin were 77,4Ss end sgajssf h
hayes.
But the following year the pro-
position to amend the constitution
by striking out the word white"
in the article on suffrage, was
again before the legislature. This
time the bill carried by a little
more than 5000.
Negroes in Minnesota then were
substantially equals to whites in
the eyes Of the law. But not quite
so in the eyes Of the people. AS in
the case OF the new education bill,
they bitterly fought to refuse the
Negro his suffrage. However. once
1t was passed, they did not fight
quite so viciously for repeal Of
this law.
PIONEER ELATED
After the defeat of the bill in
1867, the st. Paul Pioneer COM
mented that whether Flandray
or Marshall is elected, the white
people Of Minnesota can lay this
to their souls 4. that the Negroes
who live in the state are not their
equals the proposition to al
low Negroes to vote is undoubt-
edly defeated by a decisive major
ity. y.
The most honest plea for Negro
suffrage came in the Minneapolis
Tribune, a paper which ridiculed
or upheld the Negro according to |
its whims. This time they carried |
an article concerning the "Nigger |
in the Woodpile."

When they returned to New

the bed in their cheap room and
stared at the ceiling.

He did not even ask how much.
He did not ask what part of the
country they would play. Her eyes
were troubled as she watched him
listlessly try to eat his steak.
Where do we play tomorrow"
he asked, a week later. They were
sitting up all night, in an evil
smelling coach on a jerky train.
For a moment. she did not
answer. When she told him, he
sat upright, a dull flush staining
his face. I'D rather be shot" he

He did not speak. He had never

Herb attended to their luggage,

he looked out the window.

told her. He added wryly, Unlike

They spent the morning at the
theater. They were to be the entire
entertainment. For more than two
hours, they alone would have to
hold an audience. Connie coached
the pianist, a thin, tense woman
who was the local music teacher.
Herb arranged the stage, the i'm

essary props.
Want to take a walk?" Connie
asked, when they had finished.
Think I'll lie down." he said.

IHE applause that greeted their
appearance behind the footlights
was an ovation. Connie held her

house became hushed, with the old
breathless stiffness when he lifted
his hand. Volunteers rose, crowd

The flyer was notified that he
had been arrested last June in
Florida for refusal to move to the

he was travelling from Florida to

Tried in Crestview, Fla, for
violation of the states segregation
law, he was convicted on September

His attorney, Charles F. Wilson
of the Florida State NAACP, i'm

received this notice of separation.
The NAACP then interviewed with
