Race discrimination is depriving members of the colored race of an adequate opportunity for employment {in the District government, it was de- eNred in a statement issued today by the Civic Center of Affiliated Associa- 1t==s of the District of Columbia, with I headquarters at 1813 Thirteenth street. Two charts accompanied the state- ment, which are designed to show the contrast in the number of white and colored employes in the police and fire departments, while the statement de- clared “this unfair condition is even worse in the other branches of the | local government. “In the other departments of the Dis- trict government,” the statement add- ed, “our young men and women are almost wholly ignored in clerical posi- tions. The offices of the collector of taxes, assessments, arrearages, permits, license, water registrar, sewers, archi- tect and surveyor and other divisions are from 98 to 100 per cent white em- ployes above the rank of laborers and messengers. “In spite of this discrimination we are expected as citizens and taxpayers to earn a lawful living. The vagrancy | law demands that we work. The un- written law of race prejudice seems to decree that we shall not be given an opportunity to work. Our group is will- ing and anxious to work if gven a chance.” ‘The charts show that opportunities to work are given 35 white young men to one opportunity given a colored man. $36,615 ANNEXATION PAYMENT CONSIDERED Alexandria Council Puts Resolution for Appropriation Upon First Reading.
