A DISGRACE TO RALEIGH:
The action lart week bv the
Raleigh City Council, banning
Negro job seekers from rlther
ing in Nash Square, any, or
may not have been a wise
thing. The sarcastic re
marks of some of the council
members that the square was
being used by “Wines ' and
other undesirable elements
would apnear to he a reflection
on the police department of
this city and is obviously un
true.
* ♦ *
The truth of the matter seems to
be that the men who assembled in
Nash Square each day were look
ing for work, looking for work in
a city that has not bothered or
concerned itself With the well-be
ing of them or the families they
are trying to support. The conten
tion that a traffic hazard had been
created by the htabit of would-be
employers stopping their cars in
the strets bordering the square in
order to pick up those workers
could have boon solved by the sim
ple expedient of marking off areas
on Dawson and Martin Streets for
the exclusive use of motorists look
ing lor persons to work. Not too
long ago, this same council ran
all the Negro shoes shine boys off
the streets of Raleigh. Now, this
group of “humanitarians” have de
creed that Negro men cannot stand

themselves for employment.
Apart from the council’s mani
fest determination to make ina
plight of these unfortunate job
seekers as hard as possible, is the
terrible fact that employment op
portunities for Negro men is at
such a low stage in this, the Capi
tal City of North Carolina, that
hundreds of these men find it
necessary to stand on our sidewalks
and n k for employment. That we
think is a disgrace to lhl» fair city.

BT RACIAL COMMITTEE; We
notice that a bi-rneia! committee
has been organis 'd in Durham and
that this committee is about ready
to begin its operations. If such a
ommitiee is needed in Pu-ham,
one is sorely needed in Raleigh.
In Durham there are Negro police
officer? above the rank of patrol
nr-n. There has been Negro in
the Durham City Courn ii for sev
eral years and most important of
all, the city of Durham offers Ne
gro men sufficient employment to
keep them from standing in the
streets begging for work.
