COLORED MAIL WORKERS
EARN $40,000,000 A YEAR
Roy Wilhoit Reveals Vast Earn
ing of 31,000 Member of Race
In Postal Service
Chicago, (ANP)— I advise Ne
gro postal workers and friends
to hope for and work toward leg
iSLation gjiving government em
ployes a 30 day furlough without
pay, rather than a ten per cent
cut in wages,” Congressman Os
car DePriest said, in a speech de
livered at Poro college before
members of the National Postal
Alliance and their guests.
The occasion was a banquet
given by the Alliance in honor of
the delegates and visitors to the
Republican National Convention,
as well as to Roy O. Wilhoit, of
St. Louis, national president of
the organization.
Tells of Importance
Roy 0. Wilhoit, national presi
dent of the Postal Alliance, in an
interesting and effective address
told of the importance in the eco
nomic life of the race, of Negroes
who worked in the feder*'l service.
“There are," Mr. Wilhoit said,
“31,00 Negro employes in the pos
tal service, among the Americans
so employed. Though they rep re
sent but 32 per cent of the 90,000
Negroes in governmental service,
they draw nearly 55 per cent of
the pay. There are 1400 of these
in railway mail service. 26.000
are employed in postoffices and al
lied work. In Chicago alone there
are 3500 postal workers out of the
14.000 employed here. These
31.000 draw ($40,000,000) forty
million doIPrs, per year in salar
ies. more than any other class of
racial workers in the country.
“ Because of the problems which
constantly arise affecting colored
workers in the postal service and
the prejudiced attitude of a few
of the supervisory officials, we
feel the need of another officer to .
serve as a mediator, with hcad->‘
quarters in the denartment at
Washington, Kmory A. Bryant,
assistant chief clerk is now acting
for the railway mail service. But
we need a man whose whole duty
shall he to act as a contact m*n
for the post office workers, so as
to assure them justice. We have
recommended dose H. Sherwood
ot St. Paul for such an appoint-!
inent in the office of the Asst.
Postmaster General.”
Prominent Persons Hear
Roseoe Conklin Simmons, famed
orator, another of the guests,
praised the purposes and ideals of
ihe Alliance and commended
resident \V ilhoit for his constant
projection of the or
ganization's activities. Clarence
R. Vena of Toledo, close associate
of Postmaster General Walter F.
Brown, J. E. Mitchell, editor of
the St. Louis Argus, State Repre
sentative Wm. E. King, Miss Jean
ette Carter of Washington, An
thony Overton. A. L. Foster of
the Urban League, Mrs. Belle
Fountain, president of the Chic
ago Federation of Colored Wom
en’s Clubs., C. A. Barnett and
Attorney Perry were other speak
ers.
Miss Letitia Ballenger played a
violin solo and Miss Linda Bran
nock sang. President Bond of
the local branch of the Alliance,
presided.

(The Literary Service Bureau)
Maxie Miller: Here is my case.
I am 16 years old and I’ve been
raised by my auntie. She is good
to me but her husband makes love
to me and wants me to run away
and marry him. He always wants
to pet me. He slips in my room
at night. I am afraid to tell
auntie anything ’cause she might
blame me. Now w7hat must I do?
Sometimes I think I’ll run away
from home.—Ella B.
Ella B. Tell this man you do
not want anything to do with
him, and that you will tell your
aunt if he continues to molest
you. If he will not hear you.
then tell her all, and perhaps she
will arrange for you to live else
where. If you do not clear your
self. sometime this aunt will get
wise and she will blame you, and
you’ll have to find a new hiding
place. Of course, you never con
sider this wicked proposition of
taking your auntie’s husband.
