PINKETT Omaha is the only city of its size in the Northern part of the country which has waiters in all the leading hotels and clubs, color ed men- The principal hotels also employ colored maids. The railroad companies center ing here employ rolored waiters and several of them employ col ored cooks. The total is around one thousand. In addition to the waiters, the Pullman Company em ploys about one hundred porters in this district. The dining car waitere on the Union Pacific Railroad several years ago were organized by the American Federation of Labor. Their membership totals nearly one thousand, and thep are to be found all the way from Omaha to the Pacific coast. The company officials at one time thought un ionization of these workers would be harmful, but have found it help ful to the employees and the com pany and public. The Pullman Porters have been organized for many years, with accruing advan tages to the company and them selves and the public. Twenty years ago domestic ser vice was financially desirable, and more than one thousand colored persons were thus engaged. In recent years, however, the pay for this type of work has become un inviting with a consequent decline in the number thus engaged. One other factor, perhaps, has entered into this field, effects of the de pression on the persons who for merly were able to employ work ers of this type.

Hayes of Valentine, Nebraska, will become the bride of Mr. William Gaitha Pegg, of Omaha, Nebraska at a quiet church wedding in Valentine, Nebraska- The ceremony will take place on June 3rd. The couple will take a shoi-t honeymoon trip by auto, and ex pect to return to Omaha on or a bout June 12th and will reside here. There will be a reception given for the bride and groom by Mr. Pegg’s mother, Mrs. Mary C. Pegg. This formal affair will be given at the YWCA. Mr. William Gaitha Pegg, is a graduate of Omaha Central High School and of Nebraska Univers ity. He is a member of the Kap pa Alphi Phi Fraternity, is vice president of the Gay Westerners, and Secretary of the 4 C Credit Union. At the present time Mr. Pegg is employed at the Omana postoffice as a Postal clerk. NEW LOCATION Miss Alfreda Rayner, popular Hair-dresser of Council Bluffs, la. has moved to a new location No 8 North 16th St. part time workers are at present engaged in domestic service work. The Packing Industry employs around 700 colored workers. Over forty percent o fthem are skilled workers, which indicates that op portunity has been given for ad vancement in this industry. A number of colored workers is em ployed at the American Smelting and Refining Company. Some of them are doing skilled Work, but are nit rated as such. The Nebraska Power company has several colored employees. The number has increased markedly in recent pears. And a few years ago the Northwestern Bell Tele phone Company added several col ored workers, where there had been none at all before. It is note worthy that the Public Power Dis tricts do not employ Negroes. Colored workers are employed in considerable numbers by the downtown clothing and dry gooJs, stores, almost without exception. Such stores as Brandeis, Nebraska Clothing, Herzberg’s, Goldstein Chapman’s and Carmen’s have for years employed colored workers. The other stores in the business [district have been helpful in this lespect. Many colored janitors are employed in downtown build ings and in apartment houses. Employment is proportionately less along North 24th Street where it should be much more. Fv,r here, 80 percent of the patronage is derived from colored people. T wo laundries in the district are exceptions to this- Each one em ploys several colored workers. The colored people spend a very large part of their income each week in the various stores of the community. Their income is only slightly more than enough to buy necessities from week to week. And what they spend is spent in the community of which they form a Dart. The Colored population of Om aha lives, as colored populations live in many American cities, in a limited area, a city set down m the heart of a city. Here, twelve thousand of Omaha’s fourteen thousand Negroes live. Thep have a tremendous purchasing power, but they have not learned how to use it. Largely, it is being used, but not for them. The future holds some promise A few of them are learning And as more and more of them learn their economic value and power, life will be a little better for tnem and not Worse for their city. Next week something will be told about colored workers employ ed by Colored People who operate their own businesses. JACKSON 0288 FIDELITY STORAGE & VAN CO.
