DISCRIMINATION PRACTICED
AGAINST NEGRO CLERICAL
HELP, WRITES GIRL
A Negro girl, who is a Workers
Defense League member, recently
hired through civil service as a
stenographer, has sent the follow
ing leter to the League. It ap
pears that, following several rec
ent Presidential requests, large
numbers of Negroes were hired
for office wor kin departments of
the Federal Government in Wash
ington. These workers have been
put in “pools” as is the convention
al practice, whence they must be
taken, if at all, by the various ad
ministrators and officials as the
need for clerical help arises. These
officials, exercising a discretion to
which they are entitled, have refus
ed to accept the Negro help. The
press section of the Workers De
fense League knows no more of
the situation than the above, but
believes editors should be appris
ed of this story, whose details must
be ferreted out, but which may
prove to be the most important
domestic race discrimination story
of the war to date. The letter of
the young Negro workers follows:
.“Since being here I realize
that unless something drastic is
done to stop this discrimination,
all of the Negroes will suddenly
band together and refuse to cail
America their home, which will J
bring in its wake, violence, insub
ordinaton of our Negro boys in the
Army, and just a general upheav
al of the whole American way of
life.
Never having Jived in the South
as is the case of many of the Ne
gro boys and girls who have come
to Washington recently, this whole
sale discrimination hits us a blow
which we cannot quite come out
of with a wholesome feeling to
wards our government. As has
been preached to many of us since
childhood, this is truly the white
man’s country. He has no place
for us in it. No matter what our
qualifications are, we are first cf
all black; nothing else matters.
When they were calling girls to
be placed in the different depart
ments, they followed just one rout
ine. What color are you? On
the blanks which we had to fill
out, we had to state what color we
were, and when they placed you
that was the line they looked at.
No other information was neces
sary. If you were colored, you
were put in the pool, there to re
main until some liberal decided
that maybe he had a place in the
hall outside of the general offices
to put you.
This is the state of affairs at the
present time. There is a spatter
ing of white in the room where I
now am, but they will be leaving
soon. Their presence is only to
show to those who want to search
the room to find a white face, tnat
there is no discrimination. There
just is no department to send you
to immediately. You must wait
two and three weeks for an ap
pointment. The white girls wait
one or two days.
What are we fighting Hitler
for? Did someone dare to say for
democracy? If he did, he ought
to hide his head in shame. There
can be no democracy when a sit
uation like this is allowed to go

Good news travels fast—many of the thou

It's no surprise either, for Allenru is a

England to help them organize

requiring segregation of blood

should call upon the members of
Congress to fix the regulations by
law instead of leaving it to the pol

<* “I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late t
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where. ^
* Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine. 3
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
