NEGROES DENIED WORK IN
CHARLESTON NAVY YARD
I
The announcement from official? in
charge of the clothing factory at the
Charleston navy yard that only white
women would be employed as opera
tors, in spite of the insistent demand
of Colored women in the last two days
that they be employed, was published
in the daily papers in this city, and
has met with instant protest from the
Negroes of the community. The state
ment, made recently by representa
tives of the Negroes, was that de
mands had been made on the recordei
of the labor board at the navy yard
for application blanks for employment
and at the postoffice and the office of
the director of labor in the custom
house, but that the response has been
that no Negroes would be employed
at the clothing factory. The reasons
given, it was said, were those ad
vanced already by officials at the
>ard, that there could be no mingling
of the races, and there was no provi
sion for segregation.—The Charleston
American. ,
