BOULDER DAM JOB HELD UP BY
ONE SOUTHERNER. 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.”
