Photo (g by Oraphtc Picture t\ eus magazine
Kenneth Chapman, Herman Love and LeRoy McElroy are Just three of
the three thousand jobseekers stranded in California, as revealed in
"Graphic’s” exclusive story.
"Graphic," New Picture News
Magazine, Tells of 3000 Colored
Harvesters Stranded in California
Brutal treatment accorded to
3000 Negroes imported to save the
crops of California farmers, is
vividly exposed in the first issue of
“Graphic,” new national picture
newsmagazine which has just made
its appearance.
The article, entitled “Poor Suck
ers — They Didn’t Get Jobs,” re
veals how California farmers in
veigled colored men into leaving
their homes in the Deep South to
come there and work on the crops
—and how the Southern Pacific
Railroad lured them with promises
of work on the railroad.
And then, when the men re
cruited by this hit-and-miss system
arrived, there were no jobs for
them! All they could do was loaf
around, for they had no homes, no
money, no place to go.
These recruits were given a dizzy
runaround, left stranded without
food and lodging, penniless in a
strange, suspicious community.
The fruit needed picking and
these men needed jobs Vet they
were allowed to wander jobless.
And while these American Ne
groes were being stalled off from
their promised jobs, the federal
government’s own State Depart
i ment was laying plans to Import
| thousands of laborers from Mexico
i to pick the fruit!
A sum of $500,000 was to be ap
propriated to bring in these Mexi
cans to the very spot where Ne
groes already were, begging for
work!
Although ponderous statements
from the War Manpower Commis
sion declared that no Mexican !abor
should be imported until all avail
able domestic labor had been used,
the Negroes were not employed.
That half-million dollars is ready
—and it’s the Mexicans who will
be received with open arms!
Though most of the Negroes had
been lured by the promise of jobs
at El Paso, few of the trains bear
ing the men even stopped at Pd
Paso. Most of them wound up at
Los Angeles, then were shuttled
around the Pacific Coast, each sta
tion disclaiming responsibility for
the strays.
No social agency, no employment
bureau, no health clinic turned a
hand for the helpless young Ne
groes.
Today weighty machinery is in
motion to bring in the Mexicans
instead.
If they are accorded the same
hit-and-miss treatment, they won’t
like it any better than the Negroes
did.
