ARTY MINISTERS Weve 710 By RYAN WALKER NEW YORK.—The city’s fake em- | ployment office at Lafayette Street not only tries to fool the unemployed workers with promises of jobs it can- not furnish, but carries on a vicious policy of insult and discrimination against the unemployed Negro work- ers. Of the few jobs available from time to time, hardly any are given to the Negro workers who are kept coming back day after day with lying pro- mises. One of these workers, Ber- tram .Aldrich, although one of the first to register when the agency was opened, has received nothing but promises and abuse. When this worker was facing dis- possess he wrote to the Mayor's Com- mittee explaining his situation and his urgent need of relief. Instead of giving him relief the committee turn- ed his letter over to the employment agency which wrote him to call for a job.
