ANSWERS TO LABOR INQUIRY
LETTERS
Dayton, Ohio, May 7, 1917.
The Monitor,
Omaha, Nebr.
Gentlemen: In reply to your re
cent letter requesting information
concerning the Negro in this city,
will state that Dayton does offer a
great many opportunities for this
kind of labor. Large numbers of Ne
groes live in this city, all the indus
trious ones having permanent and
very satisfactory employment. They
are given every opportunity possible.
A'though there are great numbers
of such laboring men here in the
city, ye* there is at all times a de
mand for good laborers of all kinds,
regardless of their color.
Firms which are employing some
Colored help are the Barney & Smith
Car Shops and the Dayton Malleable
lion Company. These are the most
important firms employing such la
bor.
Yours very truly,
W. R. HUBER,
Assistant Secretary.
Duluth, Minn., May 5, 1917.
Mr. George Wells Parker,
Omaha, Nebr.
Dear Sir—Replying to your favo?
will say that with the exception of
the Minnesota Steel Mills, we have
very little Negro labor here in the
city. What we have are mostly em
ployed as waiters, porters, etc. There
is apparently no special demand foi
labor of that class.
Very truly yours,
H. V. EVA,
Secretary Commercial Club of Duluth
Springfield, 111., May 5, 1917.
Mr. George Wrells Parker,
Omaha, Nebraska.
Dear Sir—Replying to your favor
of the 3d inst., will say that there
is considerable demand for Negro la
bor here, chiefly in the mines and
brick yards. Will send you a bona
fide list of such firms immediately.
Respectfully,
Springfield Commercial Assn.
Albion, Mich., May 5, 1917.
Mr. George W. Parker,
Omaha, Nebraska. ,
Dear Sir—Replying to your letter
of recent date I will give you what
ever information I can regarding op
portunities for the Negro in our city.
The locality is not overworked with
Negro labor, there having been only
one or two Negro families here until
a few' months ago. One firm, The
Albion Malleable Iron Co., within the
last few months, however, has called
about 300 Colored people here from
the south, offering them employment.
This is the only firm in Albion that
I could recommend you to for your
purpose; it might be worth while to
you to communicate with them.
Wishing you desired success in
your undertaking, I am
Yours truly,
CLIFFORD SMITH,
Secretary Chamber of Commerce.
