Work, director of the Department of Records and Research at Tuskegee Institute, in addressing the opening session of a conference on the economic status of the race, sponsored by the Julius Rosenwald fund. About 200 white and colored educa- tors and soclologists from various parts of the country attended the conference which is to continue through Saturday. Discussions will be directed to bring attention from governmental agencies and industrialists to the special prob- lem of the race h: industry and agri- culture.

Grace Abbott, chief of the Children’s Bureau, Department of Labor, sched- uled as one of the speakers today, was unable to attend because of sickness. Speakers this morning included Frank- lin J. Keller, director of the National Occupational Conference of New York City, and P. K. Whelpton of the Scripps Foundation for Research in Population Problems. Sounding the keynote of the confer- ence, Mr. Work in his opening address asked: “What is the economic status of the Negro and what can we conclude with respect to this status from a study of his occupational trend?” Rising Trend Shown. A study of these trends for a 40- year period, he said, appears to indi- cate his economic status is consider- ably higher than 40 years ago. In 1890, only 13 per cent of the race was gain- fully occupled outside agriculture and personal service, he pointed out, where~ @s in 1930 colored persons were found in practically all occupations listed in the census records. Demonstrations of the Negro's skill in occupational trades and industry,| Mr. Work pointed out, leads to the| conclusion that his economic !Y-ltu.s, is tending to rise steadily. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, presided at the afternoon session, which was devoted | to participation of the race in the skilled arts and in steel, food products and coal industries. Another session will be held tonight at which the dis- cussion will deal with industrial un- employment problems of the Negro and | the disorganization to Southern in- dustry brought on by the depression. Speakers tonight will include Claudius T. Murchison of the University of North | Carolina, Joseph H. Willis of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania and Broadus Mitchell of Johns Hopkins University.
