Sisson said that he had asked

hiring could be worked out har-
ANONYMOUSLY for all concerned
and that he was told that the

be held would be when he is
ready to announce that he is

He said that he had asked
Evers to have some persons
whom he believed to be qualifi-

come by his office at 584 Jack

a job as helper with the firm,
and that that would constitute a

Evers seemed to take his sugges-

One of his main difficulties in
dealing with Evers the man stat

that the person whom he hires
for the position would have to
be of a very high calibre, and

that no ordinary person would

He also said that Evers policy

seemed to think that the Negro

said. There is no long period

Memphis Laundry
Faces Boycott

According to story carried
in the Tri-State Defender, pub
lished in Memphis, a boycott
has been launched against the
Spic N Span laundry's branch
office at BAL Tillman avenue,
Memphis by Negroes in the
Binghampton area in an effort
to get the establishment to hire
Negio counter girls.
The movement is being backed
by the Binghampton Civic lea
que, and o. u. Evers. president
of the organization, said that at
tempts to get Negroes in the
area to cooperate in the project
have been about 80 per cent eff
feetive, according to the Tri-
State Defenders story.
The boycott was launched "a
Eainst the laundry a little more
than thirty days after a trio
composed of Evers, Mrs. w. S.
Larkins and Rev. J. c. Richard
son, called upon c. R. Sisson, a
co-owner of the laundry, and
asked him to consider hiring Ne
gro women in the branch con-
Germ, where they said about 88
percent of the trade was Negro.
Sisson said at the time that he
would talk the matter over with
his business partner. and let the
group know in about a month as
to what decision they had reach
ed.
At the end of the period,
Evers said that he had to con-
tact the man to find out what
had been decided, and when he
found out that the firm was not
going to hire Negro counter
girls, he made report to the
civic league, and that they de-
cided, to launch boycott.
