Murder second
leading cause of 'on
the job' death for
postal workers
Some business owners are breath-
ing huge sighs of relief at the news
that they will be able to restrict em-
ployees from carrying concealed
weapons in the workplace and on
their premises when the new con-
cealed weapons law goes into effect
Sept. 1. And they should. A report
from the Center for Disease Control
and Prevention in Atlanta says that
murder is the third leading cause of
death on the job. If you're working
for the post office, you really ought to
be concerned. There, it's the second
leading cause of death.

Congressman announces resignation

Blues Bash just one one more reason to celebrate
Jackson may not
have support of
Black mayors for
White House bid •
If Jesse Jackson decides to run for
president in 1996, he may not be able
to count on the support of the nation’s
Black mayors, many of whom
supported him in his previous runs
for the White House.
At least two big city Black mayors—
Dennis Archer of Detroit and Marc
Modal of New Orleans—say they are
sticking with president Clinton. Their
remarks were made at a recent
meeting of the Democratic National
Committee in New Orleans.
Morial backed Jackson in 1984 and
1988. however, he says this time
around he’s sticking with Clinton
because his policies and programs
have addressed the needs of the cities.
Jackson has said he may run because
the two major parties are not
addressing the concerns of the poor
and minorities.
Plans are the dreams of the
reasonable
Feuchtersteen
Saying he "was a little disappointed
by bow this was handled by some of
my colleagues," Rep. Mel Reynolds
made the announcement that he was
resigning bis congressional seal be-
fore i national ivaudisnes on CNN’s
"Larry King Live."
Reynolds said that he had told his
aides to notify Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich that he will resign
effective Oct. 1.
During the hois long interview with
King. Reynolds told him that he "made
a very stupid, immature mistake" by
allowing himself to get involved in
conversation with someone and hav-
ing a fantasy phone sex conversation.
The two-term Illinois Democrat
seemed a bit testy at one point, al-
though be was calm throughout the
rest of the interview, when King asked
him if he knew the young woman was
"Larry, you're not going to retry this
case tonight," Reynolds replied in
response to the question.
Reynolds s&tti his disappointment
in his colleagues was that they were
trying to pretend they were more
moral than Republicans.
He also charged that bis accuser
would do anything that people with
white skin and blond hair and blue
eyes told her to, saying that's what she
had told him. He has said all along
that the charges against him were
racially motivated.
Reynolds was convicted Aug. 22
and will be sentenced Sept. 22 for
having sex with the underage cam-
paign worker when she was only 16.
He faces at least a four year sentence.
Survey shows Black teens
lagging in employment
The Broadway show tune “Them’s
that’s got shall get and them’s that’s
not shall lose....God bless the child
that’s got his own....’’ seems to hold
true when it comes to working
teenagers.
A new study. Sponsored by the
Employment Policies Institute
Foundation, says that students who
are most likely to work at a job while
in high school are white boys from
surburban, two parent, well-educated
and middle-class families, not poor
kids who need the money.
The study shows that “the patterns
belie the common notion that a
dominant function of teenage
employment is to assist lower income
families,” the researchers say.
Tulane University researcher John
D. Wright also said that these working
students tend to be in college prep
courses and have better than average
grades.
The study also indicates that students
were more likely to work if they lived
with both parents at age 14, and one
or both of them worked, the fathers
were college educated and held white-
collar jobs, and their families
subscribed to newspapers or had white
collar jobs. 1
The findings also show that parental
work habits influenced their children.
Parents who have reaped the rewards
of their work....tend to inspire their
children to follow in their footsteps,”
said Richard Berman of the Institute.
The study revealed that 72% of white
students reported working some part
of the previous year compared to 56%
of Black students and 72% of
suburban teens had worked some the
previous year compared to 62% of
inner city teens.
