Big Meeting at Center
The Emergency Advisory Commit
tee of the Mid City Community Cent
er and The Omaha Urban League
Tuesday March 6th at 7:3 p- m- gave
a dinner meeting at the closing ses
sion of the Conference on the Eco
nomic Status of the Negro at the Mid
City Community Center Building
2213 Lake Street.
The principal speakers of the even
ing was George K- Hodge Federal
Reemployment Director for Nebras
ka; A. L- Foster executive secretary
of the Chicago Urban League was
unable to attend
Mr. Hodges speech was as follows:
“Your chairman has allotted me
fifteen minutes to discuss the prob
lems of reemployment. Therefore I
shall devote five minutes each to the
past present and the future
The Past: Where President Roose
velt assumed the duties of his office
he was faced with an unemployment
problem affecting one third of the
population of the nation.
An emergency existed and there
fore the N. R. A- was created- In
signing the act; the President said|
that} history would probably regard
it as the most important and far
reaching legislation ever enacted by
the American Cengress.
Our President frankly admitted
that the program of Recovery could,
no© succeed without the whole heart-1
td cooperation of industry of labor
and f every citizen of the nation
Among the other agencies to help
the administration the National Re
employment service was established
Here are the high spots for Nebras
ka- 60000 Nebraskans applied for
employment the first of August
September firt bought the realization
that the Federal Aid Program in
Nebraska would not be started in
time; to relieve the situation during
the winter months.
i
Through regional meetings with
representatives of city and county
officials we promoted local projects
which provided work for about 15000
people- On November 15 1933 the Ad
ministration announced the Civil
Works Administration which proved
to be a Godsend to Nebraska- 33000
workers have been employed up to
this time- It is now the intention to
taper the number of C-WS employees ;
so that it will lay the way first so ■
that all of the CWA workers will be
off the CWA payrolls
The Present: There are 124000 |
registered applicants for work in
Nebraska. There have been 56000
workers placed on temporary and |
permanment jobs since the opening ;
of our office last August
While 124000 are registered we es- j
timate the legitimate unemployment;
in the state at 60000- One half of ;
these needy folks have been working j
on CWA projects while an equal :
number of needy cases have been
standing irouni
Relief rolls as of November 16
1933 have been practically cleaned
up. However since that time others
have foond it necessary to apply for
aid until there are know more on re

lief now than were recorded as Nov
ember 16 1933
The Future: There are 25000 po
tential jobs in the Federal Aid Pro
gram of River Highways and Public
Works- Administration Projects
This leaves 41000 needy folks which
the administration hopes will be ab
sorbed by industry at the note of 10
per cent week. It is my personal opin
ion that industry in Nebraska is not
speed up to meet this stock- The re
employment cases of the fall of 1932
has been postponed to the Spring of
1934.
What can be done about it? Here
are a few suggestions
1. There must be no further de
lay in PWA program
2. Industry will probably be faced
with the necessity of working hours
so that more people will be hired.
3. In some localities some form
of modified CWA will have to be
continued.
The danger ahead lies in the part
that the spirit of wholehearted co
operation will be affected by the
coming eections- Criticism of politi
cians can unarm the confidence of
the good achieved to date can be dis
counted or betrayed.
Only the whole hearted cooperation
of every American Citizen can bring
about worth while Recovery.
I have confidence that even
through the clouds gather in the
Spring if people will continue to up
hold the present administration can
great President of those United
States will meet the men—if and
when it arises.”
Mr. William Haynes worker with
Mr. Hodges on the reemployment!
business says “it was a very good
banquet. Also the speeches and en
tertainment was very conservative as
well as entertaining- Those that were [
not here just missed something.”
According to Mr. Black chairman
“I’m sure all those present will agree
with me that this banquet is some
thing that will be a lasting picture .
in our minds.”
Mr. W- Robert Smalls secretary of
the K. C. Urban League says “I am
certainly glad to be here on this oc
casion- Mr- Parkinson when intro

Miss Prances Perkins
Secretary of Labor

Dear Miss Perkins:
I am writing you in regards to
communications and a conversation I
have had with Mr. William Parkin
son Federal Relief Director of this
city in regards to employment. I was
greatly impressed with various in
formation after a consulation of an
hour or more. Mr- Parkinson express- ;
ed himself freely and with sincerity; j
emphasizing fairness all alng and •
freedom from prejudice
I was also shown any number of
cards and the method of handling
employees was explained to me; the
above party stating he was unable to
determine the nationality of this or
that party employed- In dealing with
various employees without a doubt
his policy is to be fair with all re
gardless of nationality and his inten
tions to see that no discrimination is
manifested when hiring man to work
on these projects.
Mr- Parkinson further stated he
realized some of the statements I had
made were true but these happennigs
f
dll not cccur in his office
I had no ill feelings towards any
■f/.ciai in charge of federal employ
ment. My only desire was to see de
ployment given to all and every man
desSlt with fairly- I am sure fr r. 1
your expressions it is your intention j
chat e veryone receive the same con-[
sideratien of emp!oymeikt as others
Unfortunately there are seme whe I
receive more consideration than oth
ers but I am sure this is not your
purpose. We are in hopes such condi
tions will work out in time.
Calling the attention of your de
partment to various discriminating
actions I am sure they will be recti
fied; hereafter however to jeopardise
time I shall take up further situa
. n- that may arise directly with
Hr- Parkinson fully believing he will;
do whatever he ear. to bring about an
adjustment. . ' •
I am hoping you will appreciate
my communicating with you ,at .thie
■ time as I do not Want to misrepres^
ont dr. misjudge any fair dealings;
realizing Mr- Parkinson deserves

S)—The death toll in the wreck of a
Pennsylvania Railroad train here on
February 26 was placed at nine, of
which number two were Negroes.
Thomas Jeffries o f Youngstown,
Ohio; and an unidentified colored
woman about 45 years old- It was a
five-car eastbound train from Akron,
Ohio- Plunging around a Northside
curve in this city, the engine ripped
through a snow-covered switch and
the train divided and flung itself
over a trestle
What had been a high-speed,
brightly lighted train became a mass
of twisted steel under a collapsed
bridge, with behind it a thread of
curiously split rails- For hours while
bitter cold hampered the rescuers,
acetylene torches flared over rs_
scene as the dead ana injured were
removed.
Among the forty odd injured were
following colored persons: M
