Large losses in employment in the
iron and steel industry are reported
for May, 1924. The shipbuilding
and automobile industries also show
loss in payroll totals. The gem
uineness Of this temporary slump
was reflected by young colored un-
skilled steel worker Of Pennsylvania
who recently stated that he was daily
expecting to be laid off,"
When a slump, be it temporary or
permanent, hits industry the weak
est human unit is apt to feel it
first. The iron and steel industry
has furnished more employment, of
+ certain types at least, to Negro la
Dor than any industry under the
sun; and Negro labor has performed
more efficient work, at lower wage
for the iron and steel industry, than
has any other racial labor unit Even
so. promotions have been slow, and
entrance to the select skilled classes
for him, have been difficult. A slump
which is undoubtedly temporary, is
on foot, and will probably take it's
first toll, no matter how slight that
toll may be, from the Negro worker.

WHEN INDUSTRY WAIVERS.


This tendency should cause both
the steel employer and the steel
worker to reflect over their conduct.
Has the latter, aside from his efaL
cient habits, tried without ceasing to
weave his way into the select classes
Of steel workers-those who are the
last to go"--so that, when danger
appears, he can present a prepon-
derance Of proof to show why he
should be the last, rather than the
first, to be LAID OFF,"
Has the former, moved by the
output of his plant and the compe-
tency and loyalty of his Negro work
forces, taken an inventory of what
ever elements Of justice he possess
es, and with extreme care, applied
his blue pencil to his payroll?
Justice from the beginning, in pro-
motional opportunities and advance
ment, will bring about justice in the
end, thus preventing the employers
from making flimsy excuses before
eliminating the weaker brothers"
who would, if given a chance, rise
to the heights of the steel industry,
and, in fact, all its contemporaries

The action of the National Associat'

The action of the National Associat'
ion for the Advancement of Colored
People in expressing dissatisfaction
with both the Republican National
Convention and the Democratic Nat
ional Convention platforms anu Ii
turning to a third party before the
last named organization has expressed
itself in convention assembled upon
these vital questions seems not only to
be premature but unwise. The Repupp
can National Convention expressed II
self in specific terms upon the ques'
ton of lynching.
1t is hardly fair to hold President
Calvin Coolidge responsible for the
failure of the legislative branch of the
government, when it was demonstrate
ed that the Republican Party was in
control of the government only in
name. The leaders of this great organi
cation may have had purpose in
their action, which, UP to this time has
not been disclosed. We shall see,
