Negro In Business
There was almost no gain in the
number OF Negro owned and OPP
Grated businesses in 1883. Many
of the established entrepaneurs
continued growth and expansion.
The Minneapolis Spokesman
and 81. Paul Recorder News
papers had the biggest year In
their almost 90 years OF exis-
tence. Advertising lineage and
paid circulation was the largest
In the papers history. Gross In.
come OF the two publications
showed a 25ss increase over the
preceding year. These papers
have the largest circulation of
any Negro periodicals issued or

offices. In st. Pau a few had city
and county jobs. A portion Of the
women who needed work TO sup
plement the family income did
day work or domestic work un-
til the depression hit and then
many Negro women found wPA
projects paying better wages for
much less drudgery than the
household jobs they had been
working at for very small wages.
1t was the defense and war
period in Minnesota as elsewhere
where the Negroes potenuality as
a factory worker was discovered.
The first break came in the Twin
Cities at the Twin Cities Ordnance
Plant where the plant operator,
Charles L. Horn, ignored Twin
City industrial patterns which had
kept factory and assembly work
"out of bounds" for Negroes and
proceeded to employ st. Paul and
Minneapolis Negroes in the plant
wherever their aptitude and abil-
ity prepared them to work. AS is
known the Minneapolis Spokes-
man and the st. Paul Recorder to-
gether with the Urban Leagues,
cooperated with Mr.. Horn.
BY the middle of the war other
industrial firms feeling the pinch
of reduced manpower looked long
ingly at the Negro labor market
the best of which was already
employed by Federal Cartridge
Corp, at New Brighton. There
were some firms like Minneapolis
Moline, the Milwaukee r. r. shops
and others that had a few Ne
groes since World War / and had
kept them.
BY the time the war neared its
end the milling industry, from
which custom had excluded Ne
groes, was hiring them. Firms
like Seeger Refrigerator in st.
Paul, D. w. Oman & Sons in Min
neapolis, the Minneapolis Honey
well Co, which is perhaps the
largest employer of Negroes in
the state today and a number of
other firms using factory type
labor had improved their hiring
policies.
At the close of the war the
street car company which had not
before employed colored trainmen
opened up jobs. Last year Twin
City Negro transit employees be-
gan to drive buses as the TIC.
Rapid Transit firm converted to
buses.
Since Charley Horns pioneer
ing in 1910, Negroes have moved

Building Service Workers


A large portion of the popula-
ton were found in this field. They
were janitors, sections, porters,
Pullman porters and elevator OPP
orators.
There were other jobs such as
those in packing plants, machine
operators in garment factories
and others which were not given
In the classificatons above where
Negro labor is finding a chance to
use its knowledge and skill.
From these occupational listing.
one can see that the spread of Jobs
held by Minnesota Negroes is
rapidly increasing,
Incomes Up In 1853
Estimated income OF Negro
families in 1853 has showed an in
crease of almost n million and a
half dollars over the preceding
year. The 49, income was APP
proximately 20 million dollars.
How The People Spent Income
The 1863 Job gains were reflect
ed in increased purchasing power
Of the Negro family.
Minnesota Negroes in 1858
spent their estimated annual In
come in 1853 in the following man.
ner:
Food, &,300,000; Clothing, 49,.
