NEGROES DENIED WORK The following comes from Washington, D. May 6. The United States government has expressed itself as being opposed to the color bar against Negro workers1'on the Boulder dam project at Las Vegas, Nev. Interior Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur, Informed a delegation headed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Bar association which, called upon him at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
