James H. Clark a negro plumbing firm owner attempted to lay a sewer line at Resurrection City in Washington to illustrate job resistance. He worked alone with rented ditching gear as a crowd refused to help and rain turned the trench into a mud pit. He called himself a fool after the effort failed.

Broyhill for U S Employment Service job booths that drew White House disinterest.
