ers were introduced among them, and who were only appeased
by the provision of separate quarters for the negroes. While there is
an undeniable hostility to negroes on the part of a few white workers,
the objection is frequently exaggerated by prejudiced gang bosses.]

[Footnote 129: The same superintendent told of an episode illustrating
the amicable relations existing in his shop between white and black
workers. He related that a gang of workers had come to him with
certain complaints and the threat of a walkout. When their grievances
had been satisfactorily adjusted, they pointed to the lonely black
man in their group and said that they were not ready to go back unless
their negro fellow worker was satisfied.]

[Footnote 132: An advertisement of this company in the _Cleveland
Advocate_ was as follows:

Cleveland is short 10,000 houses:

The city on Lake Erie is face to face with the problem of
_"Housing the People!"_ We have been on the job day in and day
out and are pleased to announce that _we have just played a
master stroke_.

You may ask what is it? We will answer.

We have just secured the group of seven apartment houses which
are rapidly nearing completion on East 40th Street between
Central and Scoville Avenues. Three and four room suites
with bath, hot water, electric lights, gas ranges, heating
appliances, refrigerators, Murphy in-a-dor beds. Laundry just
waiting to be occupied. All for colored people.
