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

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

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.
