REPORT Negro Workers have Separate Dormi tory, Mess Hall Tables, Toilets Pool Table, Drinking Fountain Separate Truck to Haul Them to Work at Dam New Work, Dec. 8—Negroes are being denied a fair share of jobs on Boulder dam by one man who be lieves in jim crowism and who calls all Negroes “darkies,” it was revealed | this week when a report was received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colosed People from Leland S. Hawkins, president of the San Francisco branch, who made a personal investigation at Las Vegas, Nev. and Boulder City and the dam. The man is Frank T. Crowe, gen eral superintendent of the Six Com panies, Inc., which hires most of the men on the dam. Mr. Hawkins's re port quotes him as saying: “I am going to put darkies to work as jobs become available where they can be isolated and do not come in contact with white men. "Darkies are fine laborers, espec ially when they have a darky singing boss. '‘Parties have worked on the river gang and have had their own dormi u»ry. “I played football at Hanford against a burly darky on the An dover team.” (Crowe was referring here to the late William C. Matthews, former assistant attorney general of the United States). Mr. Hawkins’s report stated fur ther: “The conversation was extremely cordial, but Mr. Crowe expressed strong conviction for segregation, discrimination and humiliation of all Negroes employed at the dam, as a precaution to protect them from the southern white emj^oyes. He did not use the word ‘nigger,’ usually ‘darky’, ‘coloj^ed’ or ‘Negro’ and he regretted his colored cook had the day off as he was sure she could give mjuch information about {the good times in Las Vegas.” Mr. Hawkins, who is also a member of the National Bar Association, which is working jointly with the N A A C P on employment at the dam, sends the following highlights on the >vhole situation: Everything Separate The largest number of Negroes ever employed on the dam was 30 be tween August 18 and November 15, |! 932. The total payroll averaged $20,000 a day, but the Negro payroll was only $122.80 a day. At present only 12 or 14 Negroes are employed and their payroll is not over $56 a day. On Nov. 7 a total of 4,100 men were working for all companies at the dam, with the Six Companies, Inc. having 3,289 of those on its pay roll alone. Negroes lived in the Riv er camp at the dam from August 13, 1932 to March 15, 1933 in the sepa rate dormitory, with separate tables in the mess hall and separate toilets. They were not allowed to drink from the regular fountain, but had their water brought to them in water bags. They had a separate truck to haul them to work, a separate pool table in the recreation room. Negroes are permitted to enter Boulder City, the government-built town, but none lives there, although “arrangements” are being made to have them live there. Boulder dam was started in March 1931. The government is spending $166,000,900 on the dam, eut of taxes from all the people. Boulder City was built by the government at a cost of $2,000,000 to be a model city for the employes at the dam. The whole project is under the supervis ion of the department of the interior of which Secretary Harold L. Ickes is the head. The Hawkins report has been for warded to Harry Slattery, personal assistant to Secretary Ickes. LEIBOWITZ ‘MOBBED’ BY A.DMIR. ERRS ON HIS RETURN TO NEW YORK New York City, (CNS)—Samuel S. Leibowitz the noted lawyer who de fected the Scottsboro boys returned to New York City last Wednesday, frem Decatur, Alabama, and 200 ad mirers gave him a roughs—though well meant—reception at the Penn sylvania station. His clothes were torn, his hat was knocked off and trampled and he was roughly jostled in the crush to slap him on the back or even to touch his clothes. Joseph V. McKee, who returned from Washington on the same train, passed the group waiting far the law yer entirely unnoticed. Four husky men, including two Ne groes, lifted Mr. Leibowitx to their shoulders. His bodyguard. Detectives Harold Fox and Arch Daly, fought i their way to his side. Ten policemen finally scattered the crowd and Mr. Leibowitz was hurried to a car. He spent some hours at home recovering from the “mauling.” EXAMINATIONS FOR UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE Washington—(CNS)—The U. S.
