NEW COLOR DISCRIMINATION Ry Associated Negro Press A new kind of color discrimination has been inaugurated in lieago. It is entered into seriously; it is creating considerable ictission. It is prejudice based upon economic demands, and it is 1 color discrimination based upon skin, but is certainly as silly t! unreasonable. One of the largest business corporations in Chicago inserted an pertisement in the daily papers for stenographers, and it speedi ly stated that no blondes need apply, that only brunettes would I given consideration. The firm, which employs large numbers of pple, states that years of experience proves that blondes are too rvous and uncertain in habits to be used in office work requiring tience and carefulness. The blondes have not yet had time to form an “Organizaation protest,’ but when they do, certainly they will receive sympathetic operation from our group. Just to think that all of the beautiful [ndes and red heads from Cleopatra down to Billy Burke, with all pir endearing charms, cleverness, vivacity, cunning, brains and bitions, find themseslves discounted because nature did not stamp [ni with dark hair. Prejudice, prejudice, what angles of awkard ps you can create! Labor Wisdom and Folly American organized labor, denouncing dictatorship and force duty, —t| ie rule of the iron hand, as it were—seeks to rule with re imperialistic firmness than even old Nero could conjure up. k ruling classes of labor have never been known to use logic or kitration in seeking their righteous ends, but have always endeavor to get an idea, and stick to it, at all hazards, regardless of the ker fellow, he he the employe or the poor innocent bystander, who Hers most. This brazen attitude of labor has made enemies of fee numbers who should be friends of labor. I Now labor, probably including that portion of it that refused [sit in the Atlantic City convention with Negro delegates, seeks [inform the government that it will not tolerate the dispensation It he booze traffic July first. Well, we’ll see who’s boss. On To Cleveland [ Cleveland, “A city on a,hill,” as once referred to by a public I'ial, is the unquestioned ideal community to hold the tenth anni |sarv conference of the National Association for the Advancement [Colored l’eopple, June 21st to 28th. The attendance ougld to be Ire. very large, for many reasons. I First of all, there is no community in America, not excepting Iton, where (here is a pleasanter relationship of people. Cleveland I beacon light radiating in all of its blinding rays the lie to the lory that people of color cannot lie given civic justice without Iger to the general body politic. Cleveland enjoys more oppor lities, in proportion to its size, in civic and industrial ways than r other American city. The opportunities have come through I highmindedness of its citizens, merit and eternal vigilance, and lone is the worse because of them. I Our group, as well as the nation at large, is going through a lit period of reconstruction. Regardless of a minimum of iin- Isant criticism, the National Association has demonstrated more llligent action, more constructive vision and wisdom, is managed le effectively, gets in hand more of the needed money, and spends Bor service better than any other organization extant. There is ming better for the necessary work at hand now than the National. I that being the case, the Cleveland conference should point the r to achieve great things. I Social Service and Social Equality ■ Some one has well said “Social equality is a private question |rh may well lie left to individual decision.” It is unfortunate ■even strange, that so many American white people are frightened, ■ thrown in a freuzv by the use of the term “social equality.” ■Shrewd southern politicians, when all else has failed, know how ■reute a furore of indignation; they describe the most impossible ■es of race relationship and the outcome. The politically de ■ratic South is obviously most undemocratic in public—public fcedly— ensistence of class distinctions. There is in their attitude llled for elements that create friction and distrust. I A Typical Race Woman ■The passing of Mrs. C. J. Walker, noted business woman and phil ■ropist, furnishes tine evidence of the foolish argument of certain ■es on the subject of “social equality.” Madam Walker was in ■sition, through the accumulation of wealth, to have held herselff ■ from her own group, and bought her way, as certain whites, ■ a certain perfunctory notoriety by mingling with certain whites, Reference to her own. She did none of this, hut was loyal to her ■people until the last. All that she asked was the freedom to ■ the blessings of prosperity, to help the needy of her group, ■jive opportunity to the meritorious and worthy. And even her ■will and testament bears out this attitude. And, since her pass ■ her daughter marries one of our own. These noted people By more than the average person of the Race, social service ■r than social equality is the aim. There were thousands of ■j? people only too glad to he recognized by Mrs. Walker.
