Jim Still Guards That
Door
HERE’S HOW SOME GET
THEIR JOUS IN WASHINGTON
Washington, June 22—Bits of
stray conversation sometimes
bring to light interesting stories.
For instance, the idle conversation
with a Washington stenographer,
concerning the placing of Negroes
in the civil service. According to
this information, no resident of
tho District of Columbia, nearby
Virginia or Maryland, is given a
permanent position in the civil ser
vice; they are given temporary
or indefinite work.
Then again, some Negroes hold
ing down good positons owe them
to their senators who wield in
fluence in certain quarters. The
story is told of a man well up
in tho government services as to
how 'he first got his job.
Going to hig senator, who hap
pened to be from the deep South,
the young man who had finished
law' school solicited his aid. That
worthy went over to the depart
ment where the young man sought
an appointment, looked around,
and said to the chief of the per
sonnel department, “In my section
of tho country n-s don’t hold
this kind of job, but since you got
n--a holding them down here,
you appoint my n—•—r to one.”
Ho got the job and has held it
continuously for a number of
years.
Another instance provides a
laugh. Senator So-and-So took his
colored constituent^over to a de
partment to land him a job. It
seems as if the man had been
shunted back and forth, being told
on each occasion of his visit to
tho deparement that .here were
no openings. So the irate senator
accompanied him on one trip.
Going to the office of the di
rector of personnel, inquiry elicted
tho information there were no
openings—the man would be ap
pointed as ,goon as there was one.
Turning the senator saw a col
ored man sitting near a door ap
! parently doing nothing.
“What’s that man doing?” ask
ed the senator.
“He's guarding the door.”
“And there’s another man over
there, silting by that door—what’s
ho doing?”
He s guarding that door.
The senator noticed a third door
unguarded, so he turned to his
.•onstitutnt and shouted, pointing
his cane, “Jim, there’s a door
that needs a guard. Just go and
sit here and guard that door.”
As far as we can ascertain, Jim
sill guards that door.
But for the main part, senators
are inclined to tell their colored
as a messenger, I’ll try to help
job seekers “If you want a job
you get one, but I, am not inter
ested in trying 'to land clerical
jobs for colored folk.”
Mr. Bilbo is saiiTto have secured
two jobs for colored men from his
state both messenger jobs. But
higher than this—well, in the de
partment of the interior there are
a few mail clerks and junior clerks,
who get the salaries of clerks, but
' not the ratings. And the Negroes
for the most part seem eminently
satisfied with the salary and not
the rating—alhough.reductions in
salaries may be affected when the
rating is not on par with the
salary.

It wan a large frolicking crowd
that attended the dance on June
26th sponsored by the Marching
Club and Drill Team. They report
their progress very encouraging.
Of course the dance was held in
our beautiful Rainbow Dance Hall.
Oh, say, by the way. These four
daughters that I am naming here,
wero in the class on June 20th and
by some means we forgot to get
their names to you. So here they
are: Dr. Dorothy Abram, Dr.
Roach, Dr. Walker and daughter
Mitchell. Dr. Roach is the wife of
Brother Harold Roach a member
of the Marching Cltfb and a N. P.
D. C. Waiter on Sunday June 2f>th.
The Dts received two more mem
bers. One of them, being Dt.
Campbell, who is employed by the
Variety Club. Their club rooms
aro located in the Eontenelle
Hotel. I do not have the other*
name Dor you at this time. I am
very sorry indeed. We want to
say to you tlmt we aro getting
things into shape, put.ing on the
finishing touches, to meet the de
mands (which will be many) dur
ing tho convention, that everyone
will be proud that they came to
Omaha.
Of course you know brother
George Washington has charge of
the bar. He will be glad to serve
you anytime. The Lodge and Tern*
plo met Sunday at 2 P. M. in a
joint session. The writer was not
present but the meeting was a
get-togetber. For final instruc
tions pertaining to the convention
the Exalted Ruler advised me
that on account of the initiation
Sunday evening, he was forced to
call it short so the meeting was
continued to Monday evening at
7 P. M. June 26th at which time
all matters was settled. Well, we
are glad to announce the new
members we received Sunday i
evening. Ten in all. Two were re-1
instated and 8 made from the

mer Shepherd, John Reed, Roy
West of South Omaha, Wyseman
M. S. Clinton, James A. Jackson,
Don Booth, Attorney John A darns
Jr., and Chris Young. You can see
by this array of material that the
Iroquois is putting good timber
into the building so that she may
havo a strong structure, that
the winds shall not reel, nor the
storms shall not rock. We are
really proud of these boys and I
am sure they are just as proud
of their organization. We will
have some more scores for you in
a later issue this week. This arti
cle goes to press on Tuesday A. M.
so I am hustling to get it off. I
am quite sure everyone has been
