Study Group Reveals Discrimination Factor in Employme
I
(Continued from Page 1)
F'inally' she asked the manage-
ment why she was not promoted.
She was told, "We have to draw
the line somewhere."
The woman quit.
Negroes, according to the Sur-
We Go Anywhere
24-Hour Service
vey, are often employed in posi-
tions which do not make use of
their highest skills. This especial-
ly holds true for women. The Ne-
gro woman's story bears witness
to the truth of the statement.
Local job discrimination also
takes other forms. A student em-
ployed in one campus-area res-
taurant says his employers will
hire Negroes only to wash dishes
and clean floors. "He makes no
bones about it either," the stu-
dent asserts.
No particular background ex-
perience is necessary to get a job
in this restaurant, but race de-
cides what level of employment a
person can get.
Get Manual Jobs
This illustrates a practice of
relegating Negroes to manual and
semi-skilled jobs, with white per-
sons filling more white-collar
posts, regardless of experience.
The Survey also noted evidence of
this practice.
As an employer of Negroes in
all positions, excluding the hos-
pital, the University ranks some-
what low. Academic branches
rank next to last in percentage
employed, with two per cent Ne-
groes. Non-academic areas em-
ploy eight per cent, while city
hospitals (including University
Hospital) employ 21 per cent, as
a group, second only to service
organizations.
In White-Collar Jobs
The picture changes when
white-collar positions only are
considered. Hospitals again rank
second among the types of em-
ployers. with eight per cent of

positions filled by Negroes. How-
ever, this time governmental
agencies rank first, with slightly
over nine per cent.
The academic departments of
the University rank third in em-
ploying Negroes, however, with
one and one-half per cent of
white collar posts filled by them.
Non-academic branches are fifth,
with one-half of one per cent.
No type of organization employs
even as many as 10 per cent Ne-
groes in white-collar positions.
However, Negroes comprise only
about eight per cent of the popu-
lation of Ann Arbor.
Few Troubles For Students
Negroes generally fill less than
three per cent of the white-collar
positions in Ann Arbor.
Job discrimination is less im-
portant to Negro students than
to year-round residents. Fewer of
them seek jobs; fewer still indi-
cate any difficulties in getting
them.
This is at least partly due to a
residence hall policy of giving
jobs, such as dining room work-
ers, to students on a first-come,
first-serve basis. Negroes report
no trouble getting jobs in the
residence halls, as long as they
are unfilled.
Agencies Study Discrimination
Ann Arbor has three maior
agencies concerned with discrim-
ination at present: the Human
Relations Commission, the Hu-
man Relations Board, and the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
Newest of the trio is the Human
Relations Commission, established
by City Council last summer. The
group's most publicized action to
date occurred in the Brantley
case, mentioned earlier in this
series, in which the commission
stepped in and worked out a solu-
tion satisfactory both to Brantley
and to the sheriff's department.
Investigate Rumors
But it has worked in areas of
farther-reaching concern also,
particularly in housing, which the
Commission's chairman, the Rev..
Henry Lewis, terms the area of
greatest discrimination in Ann
Arbor.
"Discrimination in Ann Arbor
is particularly in housing for Ne-
groes," Rev. Lewis says. Six of the

Commission's first 12 cases in-
volved housing discrimination.
The Commission has a housing
committee which has handled
these complaints, and is also in-
vestigating four widely-circulated
rumors in regard to housing.
These rumors are:
1) That landlords do not rent
apartments or rooms to Negroes
or foreign students on an equal
basis with white Americans;
Work Continuing
2) That real estate agents are
trying to create a Negro section
by refusing to sell housing in cer-
tain districts to Negroes;
3) That mortgage loans are not
available to Negroes on the same
basis with whites;
4) That property rented to Ne-
groes is not kept in good condi-
tion by the landlords.
Work in these areas is still con-
tinuing.
"Housing Chief Problem
The Human Relations Board
has also been concerned recently
with housing.
A spokesman for the local chap-
ter of the NAACP also agrees that
housing discrimination is the
chief problem here.
"Very few landlords, excluding
the University, accept Negroes in
multiple dwellings," he said. This
also holds to a lesser degree for
foreign students.
However, he felt some indi-
viduals do rent to Negroes when
places are available. The number
of such landlords eisincreasing at
a fairly steady rate.
'Most Hire on Ability'
Both Rev. Le w is and the
NAACP agreed that employment
discrimination was less important
in Ann Arbor. There is "little if
any discrimination, according
to Rev. Lewis, "far less than in
housing."
"We only know of one large
concern which refuses to hire Ne-
groes," he said. "Most hire on
ability."
The NAACP spokesman noted
some factories do not hire Negroes
at all.
"Not enough young Negroes are
taking advantage of higher edu-
cation opportunities," he said.
"This presents another difficulty.
We have both an interracial and
a racial problem, which must be
studied simultaneously."
