R. C. Talbott, resident engineer for the Columbia Steel Company, spoke briefly. In his short but happy speech he pointed out that there were many things he would like to clear up in connection with the steel project, but because of it being a war defense project with war actually in progress, censorship would not permit him to give out the kind of information desired. He stated, however, that he would like to clear up the current rumors that colored men and foreigners would be brought In to operate the plant. "In the South, he declared, "colored workers for certain types of Jobs do very well, but ' that doesn't mean that they will be Imported for the Geneva Works. Local men for the most part can do this work, and it is not intended to import either foreigners or colored people to work at the plant. Other speakers for the contractors were E. J.
