See No Negro Help in
Huge Brewing Plant
Has Thousands of Colored
Patrons
—
Chicago, Aug. 7.—The Chicago
| B r a n c h of the N. A. A. C. P.,
| through its president, A. C. Mac
I Neal, has sharply challenged the
‘ resaons given by Adolphuc Busch
III for the failure of the An
heuser-Busch brewing plant at St.
Louis to employ Negroes. Dur
ing the recent 26th Annual Con
ference of the N. A- A. C. P. at St.
Louis, delegates and visitors were
invited to make a tour of inspec
tion of the huge brewing plant.
On this visit it was noted that no
Negroes were employed in any
capacity and the Chicago Branch
wrote to Mr. Busch.
In replying, Mr. Busch ex
plained the absence of Negro
workers as being due, first, to the
fact that workers in the brewing
industry ‘look upon their partici
pation in it as traditional, and in
our plant three of four genera
tions are represented among our
employees’ and, second, because
‘there are no colored members in
the Brewery Workers Union, a
stiuation entirely beyond our con
trol.”
To the first of these excuses
Mr. MaeNeal replied in part1 “Is
there anything ‘traditional’ about
fully one-third of the employees
of Anhueser-Busch who move
freight, sweep, clean windows, ad
dress letters, keep books, sell your
goods as salesmen and a host of
other positions that are necessary
to the conduct of an industry
such as you head?” On the mat
ter of union labor discrimination
Mr. MaeNeal asked Mr. Busch
pointed que^ions as to whether
or not he and the Anheuser
Busch company have ever taken
up with the Brewery Workers’
Union its discrimination against
Negroes, nad whether or not Mr.
Busch and his company will make
such a protest if it has not done
so.
Mr. MacNeal also asked Mir.
Busch if his company will give
employment to Negro Americans
a s stenographers, bookkeepers,
salesmen, and other such posi
tions. and whether or not employ
ment will be given to Negro
Americans in the various agen
cies of the Anheuser-Busch com
pany throughout the country.
Mr- MacNeal asked Mr. Busch to
reply specially to these queries,
in order that Negro, purchasers
of the product of Anhueser-Buseh
throughout the country may be
informed.

Dr. Aaron McMillan
Returns Home
Dr. Aaron MeMillian and his
family returned to Omaha Sat
urday, Aug. 3 from Europe and
Central Africa. Dr. MeMillian
spent six years abroad studying
Tropical diseases in England and
Portugal. Also he was head of a
staff of phyiscians seven hundred
miles in the interior of Africa.
Dr. MeMillian has spent a busy
week receiving the host of friends
who were so elated over his suc
cessful trip. Mrs. Willa Mae Me
Millian, his charming and faith
ful wife who made the trip with
him, braving the wilds of the
jungles to be with her husband
and children, has been quite busy
keeping up with her social af
fairs and introducing Helen, her
youngest baby, born in Angola,
Southwest Africa. Helen is one of
the healthiest and prettiest babies
in Omaha.
As the Doctor made extensive
hunting trips, he brought some
of his trophies home, which are
seldom seen in this country, which
diows that he is an excellent hunt
er as well as an exceptional phy
sieain- He has saved many of the
natives and white, who would
probably have never reached the
eoast or a large city, where the
anly medical attention could be
be found.
The natives, the Doctor says,
are as civilized in their way, as
any European or American, as
there is no vice and very little
crime there they are more refined
thau we are here. One proof of
