After the federal government made knovfn its intentions to loan more than $2,000,000 for the con struction of low rent houses heTO, Negroes again began inquiring and insisting upon due and proper recognition inasmuch as it was widely publicized that the Negro project would be the first con structed under the supervision of USHA. Not until the project was under way and more than half completed did the local citizens know of the types of construction of the buildings for their group. Wlhen it was learned that the buildings, with their flat tops and single stories, were taking on the appearance of saw mill or levy camps, a protest movement was launched. An appeal was made to the local housing authority ie_ questing that the buildings be changed in design and that more architectural beauty be added so that they \^ould not be obnoxious to the public eye. Th^ Delaney project is located across the street from Roosevelt High school and on one of the most important boulevards of that city. It ig close to some of the city’s leading Ne gro homes. The project buildings are flat of top single story structures built close to the ground with the backs fronting upon beautify Harrison street. They are heated by coal stoves and in order for the ten ants to have storage space for fuel, unsightly coal bins are also built upon Harrison street. There are no basements and laundry work by the familiest consisting of from two to seven or eight, must be done in a sink in the small kit chen of each unit. The local authority plans to sup ply the tenants with no type of refrigeration, but they are expect ed to use any type of refrigerator they desire, even to the hanging of boxes out of windows during the winter months. The floors of all units are concrete. When the local officials refused to consider any changes proposed by Negro leaders, a mass meeting was called at Roosevelt High school an dmore than 1,000 attend ed and protested the construction and management of same. A com mittee of three members, Atty. Benjamin F. Wilson, Rev. L. A McGee of the First AME. church and Charles E. Hawkins of the First Baptist church( was sent to Washington to interview the US HA with reference to their pro tests. The committee had no diffic dty in conferring with W. P. Sea/'T's, assistant administrator, who a gre©d that the Gary Delaney Com. munity Housing project was “ob viously disgraceful.’’ Mr. Sleav ers was shown protographs of the 1 project and assured this commit tee that the changes as requested would be made, and that funds for that purpose would be suppl ied by the USHA. The changes promised by Mr. Seavers in the presence of William K. Divers, mid-western regional director, USHA, and Dr. Frank Home, Ne gro member of USHAj were as follows: 1. That a qualified Negro should be appointed to manage the project and that a salary com mensurate with the position held should be given. Z. that the buildings along Harrison boulevard should be gabl ed or changed in a manner to lend more architectural beauty . 3. ' That the coal bins attached to the buildings on Harrison would be moved, so as to give the appearance of the buildings front ing on Harrison, instead of having their backs to the boulevard. 4. That inasmuch as there were no laundry facilities for the tenants, two or more utility build ings would be constructed on th© project to serve such a purpose. 5. That each family unit would be furnished with mechanical re_ federation. „ Relying on these assurances, the committee returned to Gary, but failed to publicize the results of their trip for fear they would be charged with having practiced in timidation or coercion on their local board Failure on their part to notice progress of any of the change® promised, although they were assured that changes would be started within a period of two weeks after their Washington con ference, caused them to again con fer with the USHA. Several influential friends from the Washington office made trips to Gary to confer with Negro lea ders and their local board. Def inite recommendations Were made 'by these representatives ti make the changes as agreed upon. The local board_ however, refused to comply with the request and be gan to move tenants into the build irgs, although many of the units u m - mnietsd. An her "ins-. mQ"‘:ng for Sun day, Dec. 15, was called and an WAR DEPT- OFFICIAL TRUMAN K. GIBSON, brilliant young Chicago attorney, Who last week began his duties aB civilian assistant in the United States War Department. Mr. Gibson, who served last summer as executive director of the American Negro Exposition held in Chicago, is as sistant to Judge William H. Hast ie, who as aid to Secretary of War Stimson, will have charge of ail problems arising from the induct, ion of Negro draftees into the army as well as problems affect ing Negro soldiers generally. Mr. Gibson who-is 29 years old and married, was active in the civic life of Chicago and left a growing and lucrative practice to serve in his present post. , (ANP) other thousand or more Negroes met). Enraged citizens have de termined that the die has been cast, and that the local housing1 authority does not intend to grant their major request. A mass movement to protest against Ne groes moving into what has been frequently described as ‘‘Shanty Town”, has begun, and there hafi started a united and systematic propaganda movement to encour age Negroes to resist the efforts on the part of the local board by r.on-cooperation. Assistance From White Leaders Local leaders in the fight are loud in their praise of leading white citizens of Gary and of *he support rendered by Sherman A. Minton and Congressman Willi im T. Schulte, both of whom u tJe valuable contacts for the commit tee in Washington. The grou o is rlso depending upon these mm to arrange a very immediate comm ence with the President of ■ e United States. TO HOLD NATL CONFERENCE OF COLORED FIREMEN Reports from Colored Firemen on railroads in the southeast and southwest reveal an alarming and serious state of affairs With res pect to the continuance of the Col ored Firemen in the engine cabin. Many are losing their right of seniority and are being bumped and displaced by White Firemen despite the fact that Colored Fire men may have 10 or 20 years of service above that of the White Firemen. Regulations by the Interstate Commerce Commission require that in the next few years coal burning engine^ be equipped with stokers or replaced by Diesel pow er. As a result of this change, and through the organized streng th of the Wlhite Firemen definite confidential understandings haW and are being developed that pro vide for the elimination of the Col ored Firemen by various subtle and devious means—one of which is that railway carriers shall not hire firemen to fill vacancies caus ed by the death of Colored fire, men, who are not promotable and the refusal to give Colored Fire men training in the operation of the Diesel engine. The trijck is that Colored Firemen are not pro motable because they cannot be come engineers. Since the Brotherhood of Loco motive Enginemen and Firemen, which controls the bargaining rights on most railway properties by virtue of the possession of the majority of the Firemen in the employ of the carriers, will not ac cept Colored Firemen as members and hence they are deprived of representation before federal agen cies regulating the relationships between carriers and their employ ees, Colored Firemen face the nec essity of devising some program \ to meet thig situation. To this end, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, States A. Philip Randolph, International President, plans to call a national conference of Colored Firemen on all the railroads throughout the country that employ them for the purpose of formulating a long range program of organization and legislation in the interest of the relief of this class of Colored railroad ,workerg from their pres ent state of job insecurity. At this conference, Colored Fire men will tell their own story abont their problems and representativ es of various national organizat ions will come to bring their mes_ sages of greeting and cooperation in the fight to save the jobs for Colored Firemen. The conference will be held in Washington, D. C. in the month of March, declared Mr Randolpn at the headquarters of the Brother hood in New York City. The spec ific date and program will be ann ounced later. HURTS BACK IN FALL Mr. G- H.
