Y. W, C. A. WAR WORK s1
EXTENDED TO NEGROES I
WASHINGTON, March 28.—Ameri- 1
can women are caring for the welfare I
of the colored women engaged >n war I
i
industries. They are extending all i
efforts in organizing the colored I
women into effective organizations for |
the carrying out of necessary construe- |
tive national measures among the §
colored population.
Through their welfare organizations g
the American women are taking neces. 1
sary steps to guard the morality of t
the numerous colored girls employed I
in munition factories and in other war 1
industries. *
As one of the prominent national §
woman’s organizations that has taken f
up the problem of guarding the wel- |
fare of the colored woman war worker |
is the National Y. W. C. A. which 'S =
putting through an elaborate program
to that effect.
Of the $4,000,000 budget of the
Y. W. A. $200,000 is to be used for ?
war work among the colored women ’|
IF
i
iAJHUllg we iMiuira xxx xnt- wmitxa-j
tion’s program is one to furnish lead-if
ers among colored women to train =
them to carry on the work among I
their own race.
The association is taking care of §
emergency housing in war ndirdrial
centres where the government fac-ii
11
tories employ colored as well as \. hite |.
girls. I
Lectures on social morality for (
groups of colored women near the can.
tonments is one part of the welfare
work by the association.
I
For this purpose the association1
has secured a list of all the colored j
women graduates from medical |
schools of the country for the last
twenty years.
Organizations of colored women for
j war purposes is proving a difficult
task, because of the absurd rumor pre
valent even among them.
Many refused to register in one city
because they believed they would be
| sent to fight the Germans, like the
: Russian women.
