Some of the most outstanding thoughts were as follows: Faith is one of the essential factors in the life of a Christian. One must have faith enough to stand regardless to their condition. When we have on the breastplate of love nothing can hurt us. “Love gets you everywhere. Hate gets you nowhere.” Hope as a helmet of salvation may be faint, as following by the wayside; faulting, not true or faulted and tri umphant. Hope will cause faith to grow strong.

I Dr. Lennox | | On the Job I * i Dr. Lennox January 31, 1933 Mr. Clarence Thorp, General Manager, People’s Coal Company, 916 South 16th St., City. Dear Sir: For some time an attempt has been made by the Omaha Working Men’s Commissioners to assist the unemploy ed Colored citizens of Omaha, a large number who are your regular cus tomers. I am sure you realize the employ, ment situation of today with mem bers of our group who are “the last to be hired and the first to be fired”, and when it comes to being given a fair consideration, are placed at the bottom of the list regardless of how they support a business. We represent 5% percent of 0 maha’s (population, and should re ceive 5V6 percent of the city’s em ployment, as we spend the same a mount with the different concerns lo cated here. We are sure you realize the good, bad and indifferent are found in all regardless of race, and there are those who are dependable, trusty, ap preciative and fair and anxious for an opportunity to make good. We are seeking an opportunity of employ ment with your company. Thanking you for any help or con sideration you may give in the form of employment to members of our group, which will be greatly apprec iated and needed, I am Respectfully yours, Dr. G. B. Lennox, Pres., Working Men’s Commissioners, 2122 North 24th St. • Dr. G. B. Lennox, 2122 North 24th St., Omaha, Nebr., Dear Sir: With reference to your letter of January 31st, regarding the employ ment of some of the unemployed a mong the colored people in Omaha. You no doubt realize at the pres ent time that the working people are not changing jobs as they did a few years ago and our men who are em ployed steady at this yard are men who have worked here in the past and have been working here for some time. The only laborers we are hir ing now other than that is just for unloading an occasional car of coal or doing some general work around the yard, and of course we simply hire the first man who comes along for that job. Only today I gave a colored man a job of unloading a car of coal, so you see we are not making any distinction in the nationality or race of the men we employ. We have no objection to hiring colored people, the thing we are interested in is to value received for the money we pay out for work done. Very truly yours, Clarence Thorp, Peoples Coal Co., Mgr. February 16, 1933 People’s Coal Co., Mr. Clarence Thorp, 916 South 16th St., ’ City. Dear Mr. Thorp: We highly appreciate the consider ation expressed in your letter of Feb ruary 14th relative to employment for our group in your concern. If all persons and concerns that we support manifested a similar view port, the employment situation at this time would be better as a whole for members of our group. We do not expect you to change the employees you have had any number of years, as this would not be fair to those men. We try to be humanitar ians regardless of whom involved, seeking consideration and cooperation from those whom we know are con tinually given same by this body of people. If you are able to take on new em ployees, it will be greatly apprec iated and needed if you will consider Colored men who are able to give you in return value received for that which they are to be paid. We realize the situation that con-1 fronts you at this time, and are hop iiv? to receive the consideration as ex ROSS I DRUG Store I Prescriptions Carefully Fined 1 WE. 2770 I fStynewsbotsto^* DELIVER The OMAHA GUIDE TO YOUR DOOR We. 1750 pressed when conditions improve.

Bryce Crawford, County Judge. Local Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man must prevail. These are the only principles which will stand the acid test of good citizenship in time of peace, war and death. t (1) We must have our pro-rata of employment in businesses to which we give our patronage, such as groc I ***y stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores and coal companies, in fact every concern which we sup port. We must give our citizens the chance to live res pectably. We are tired of educating our children and permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter in to lives of shame. (2) Our pro-rata of employment for the patronage to our public corporations such as railroad companies* the street car company, the Nebraska Power Company, the Northwestern. Bell Telephone Company and other establishments which we are forced to support by right of franchise. Also our pro-rata of employment in re turn for the taxes we pay in our city, county state and federal government. (3) To encourage the establishment of a first class hospital that we may get the best that there is in medical science from our doctors whom we know to be nearest us, i also to encourage a high respect of them and encourage more of our girls to take nurse training. (4) A one hundred per cent deportment of our cit izens in our public or private places of business, especial ly on street cars. If we are to be respected we must act respectably, especially in public places where we are con stantly before the public’s eye. (5) A one hundred per cent membership in the Om aha branch of the NAACP. should be had to encourage the efforts put forth by the fouhders of the organization and to assist the general office to establish a five million dollar endowment fund to maintain operating expenses and to further the principles of the NAACP. All peo ple of all races must be educated up to a higher principle and a more thorough understanding of interracial rela tionship that our country may in reality be a government of the people, for the people and By the people in whole and not in part. (6) Ihe re-establishment of the Christian Religion as Christ taught it^for the uplifting of mankind, elimin ating financial and personal gain. A practical Christian Religion, week day as well as Sunday. An attitude to ward our fellowman as a brother in order to establish a principle which wiD guide the destiny of each other’s children; our neighbor’s children today are our children tomorrow. (7) Courteous treatment in all places of business and the enforcement of the State Civil Right Law. (8) To encourage and assist in the establishment of the following financial institutions near 24th and Lake Streets: A building and loan association, a state bank, administering aid and assistance to our widows and children. (9) To encourage the erection of a one hundred thousand dollar Young Men’s Christian Association Building near 24th and Lake Streets. (10) To enlarge the Young Women’s Christian As sociation that it may supply sufficient dormitory accom modations. (11) To teach our citizens to live economically with in their earning capacity by printing in each issue a bud get system for various salaries. # (12) To make Omaha a better city in which to live by inaugurating a more cosmopolitan spirit among our American citizens. (13 To put a stop to the Divorce Evil by passing a State law making the mistreatment of a wife or a hus band by either of them, a criminal offense to be decided by a jury, first offense, jail sentence of a short duration; second offense, one of longer duration; third offense, from one to five years in the penitentiary. This, we be lieve will make men and women think before marrying. (14) We must become owners of the city govern ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom we employ to administer its affairs, a salary that will at and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of tract men of high calibre. National (1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill and thus stop the shamful lynching of American citizens. (2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet. (3) Federal control of the educational system that every child must have a high school education. (0 Assist in the furtherance of research by our scientists and historians to prove that civilization was first founded in Africa. (5) Establish a political influence which will bring about our pro-rata of higher appointments made by our chief executives. (6) Stop graft in politics by passing a Federal La.w making election day a legal holiday and compelling every American citizen of voting age to vote. (7) Prevent further wars by teaching the so-called white race that it is high time for them to quit fooling themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths of the world’s population. They must be taught that color is due to climatic conditions. * They must be taught that seven-tenths of the world’s population is made up of darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race; and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad few. If the Fatherhned of God and the Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this world’s family now, by teaching the principles laid down by our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our children some day soon, on the bloodiest battlefields this world has ever known. (8) Cut down congressional representation from the Southern States in proportion to the number of votes cast. The OMAHA GUIDE will put forth its best efforts to bring about the above 22 points with the assistance of those who believe it is for the best interest of good Amer ican citizenship.
