In Cornelius Brown Case:
ST.. Paul FEPc
Charges Bios In
Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Kermit Hedman and
deputy sheriff George Weber, of
Ramsey County, were served on
April 10, 1862, with formal COM
plant from the City of st. Paul
Fair Employment Practice Com
mission, alleging that they dis
eliminated against former deputy
sheriff Cornelius E. Brown in his
treatment on the job, suspension,
and discharge by reason of his
color.
Following the procedures of the
Fair Employment Practice Ordin-
ance, Seth R. Phillips, executive
secretary of the FEP Commission,
Investigated the complaint of Corn
elius Brown, and presented the re-
suits of his investigation to the
Commission.
The Commission made a deter
mination of probable cause, and
negotiations were entered into to
attempt Cancellation.
Efforts at Cancellation and per-
suasion failed, and the Commission
is required by law to hold a pub
lie hearing, which will be held on
May 2, 1862, 100 pm, in Court
Room 1431 in the City Hall and
Court House.
Brown of $50 Aurora was ap-
pointed to the sheriff's office by
the late Sheriff Tom Gibbons. In
his signed complaint he charged
that chief deputy sheriff George
Weber carried on a program of
harassment from January 1, 1856
until he was finally discharged
on August 81, 1861.
Brown charges the nistreat-
ment was on account of his race
and color.
st. Paul city hall rumor had 1t
that every effort is being made to
have the commission cancel the
hearing by friends of the sheriff
and other city and county officials
who see the commission action as
the first step in other moves to
end discrimination in employment
in st. Paul city and county gov
eminent offices.

Lima was born in Fall River,

there and later In New York. After

goods not bought before closing
time. This arrangement is profit
able both to the storekeeper and
the women traders.
The picture of MalxOla will not
be complete without a word
fabOut the women fOOdstuff sell
Iers, who are responsible for
feeding the teaming population
of Accra.
These women buy foodstuffs
wholesale sometimes three or four
lorrysful and dispose of them to
middlemen. Some of them go with
drivers to the rural areas, buy the
foodstuffs from the farms and
bring them to Makola to sell.
A few of the more enterprising
women traders of Makola operate
on side lines. They are not only
traders but also transport owners
They operate a number of taxis
or lorries bought on installments
use the daily earnings from these
taxi cabs to augment their trading
capital and before the monthly in
stallment is due, they make a big
ger profit margin on the earnings
from the transport.
One may well ask but what dc
these women do with their great
wealth? Most of them invest their
money in buildings. They know
that the best investment in Ghana
at least for the present., is in build
ings.

over % years OI age.
According to the 1860 census,
almost all of these 1885, live with
in the city of Minneapolis. The
non-white elderly constitute ap-
proximately SIS percent of the
total non-white population. This is
in contrast to total population fig
ures.
Over nine percent of Hennepin
County's population is now in the
plus 65 age group, while 13.4%
of Minneapolis population is over
IS. Differences in the city-county
figures reflect the movement of
younger families to the suburbs.
Taking part in the study is

The Technical Advisory Com
mittee, headed by DR.. Taves, Pro-

a 20 page profile Of Hennepin

research, will furnish the factual
background for the other commit

Each committee will evaluate
the outstanding problems in its
area and make recommendations
to guide individual agencies and
communities in making suitable
plans for the future.
Heading the overall Study Com

come SO ITCH LfldL many IdlLdSIlC
tales are told about how they come
by their money.
One is at his wits end whether
to give any credence to some of
these tales, on seeing thir achieve
ments. A string of beautiful and
well-furnished houses owned by
one, a fleet of taxis is controlled
by others and some sophisticated
ones being driven to market by
their chauffeurs give but glimpse
of the outward signs of wealth
owned and controlled by these
ladies of Makola".
But if one looks deeper than
what meets the eye, one cannot
help but be dumb-founded by the
enterprise and business know-how
of these market women which by
and large are responsible for their
unconcealed economic prosperity.
First of all let us look at the
history of the market which plays
a not insignificant part in making
these women not only a force in
Ghana's economic development but
also in its social and political re-
construction.
Because of congestion in the
market many hawkers sell on the
pavements, street corners and lor-
ry stations situation which
not only makes driving difficult in
the streets near the market - but
is responsible for some of the road
accidents.
The City Council recently
launched a "Clean Accra" cam
paign aimed at removing over
1000 traders and hawkers from
the pavements.
An official Of the Accra City
Council said that the council gets
an average monthly revenue Of
$12,0 from the market whose
capacity Is about $4,000 people.
Monthly expenditure on the mar
ket averages $2,700.
This group is well patronised by
the general public especially the
working masses, not excluding my
self, and it is a common sight to
see men invading these traders to
buy provisions from them instead
of going to the departmental
stores.
Some of the market women es- !
pecially the nterate ones attract
customers by giving them favour
able terms Of credit. Naturally the
profit margin of this group Is
quite great. You will see them in
the ministries, corporations, drink
ing bars and peoples homes sell
ing their wares which they carry
on their heads and meticulously
writing down the names Of their
creditors.
AS is to be expected they lose
on a few of their customers but
the profit margins made by
them more than compensate for
this loss.
It must be remembered that the
women in this group have ready
money at hand with which to set
tie their accounts with the trad
ing firms at the end of the month
while they wait to collect the in
stallments due over the period.
Others who have no ready
money, get goods on consignment
from storekeepers and bring in the

u. Charges
Price Fix in
Blouse rude
BY the Associated Press

The Government asked the
courts yesterday to prohibit a
union local and three trade as
sociations in the women's
blouse industry from fixing
prices and restraining trade.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy announced the order
was requested in a civil suit
filed in New York District
Court.
He said the defendants, al
ready named in a 1859 Grim
inal antitrust suit, are:
The Greater Blouse, Skirt
and Neckwear Contractors As
sociation, Inc. New York.
The National Association of
Blouse Manufacturers, Inc,
New York.
The Slate Belt Apparel Con-
tractors Association. Inc.
Bangor, Pa.
Blouse and Waistmaker's Un-
ion, Local rs, of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union.
Trial in the criminal case
against these defendants has
been set for April 2 in New
York.
In the new action, the Gov
ernment said the defendants
conspired from 1949 to April,
1859, to fix prices and from
l949 until the present to allo-
cate business.
The 300 member firms in
Greater Blouse and the 100 in
Slate account for half-or SITS
million worth-of 1857 whole
sale blouse sales in the United
States, the Government said.
The role Of the union local
in the alleged conspiracy was
not described in the complaint.
