Brockway Publishes Article
Los Angeles Times Prints Work of Former University Student
An article "The Negro Population of Los Angeles," by Stella E. Brockway, 30, appeared in a recent issue of the Sunday magazine section of the Los Angeles Times.
"The Negro is the last to be hired and the first to be fired," states Miss Brockway. Individuals are giving preference to the unemployed of their own white race and the proportion of the unemployed among the colored people is therefore greater than ever during the present depression. The average family man's wages is sixty dollars a month and he is usually employed as a domestic or personal servant, waiter, janitor, or if he is lucky in his competition with the Mexican, as an unskilled laborer.
The negroes in Los Angeles have more convenient homes, and as a whole, better living quarters than any in other urban colored community. There are three colored newspapers in Los Angeles, fifty-one churches, and a modern insurance company, the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company, the only Negro corporation in the state.
"The white persons gets misleading ideas about the colored race from cheap literature, spectacular plays, and unattractive caffees which he himself supports by his patronage," concluded the writer.
Miss Brockway was a reporter on the Daily Kansan, and secretary to Professor Flint of the journalism department. She is at present employed as the secretary to Harry C. Carr, director of the Times-Mirror company, publishers of the Los Angeles Times.
