Negroes in the Building Trades
DR.. Chavous, discussing the negro
in the building trades, said there are
more than 10000 negroes engaged in
building trades; about 81 per cent are
in the skilled class and 63 per cent
unskilled. Unemployment in this
group, he said, was variously esti-
mated at from 60 to 80 per cent in this
state. He said the negro worker in
the building trades is restricted to a
few jobs.
In seeking causes for this, he cited
as contributing factors, attitudes of
building contractors and other en-
ployers, organized labor and the ne

was essential that younger men be
drawn into the building trades if the
negro is to hold or increase his pres
ent numbers in these occupations. APP
premiership was suggested as one
way out of the dilemma. Vocational
trade schools and classes and contin-
uation classes were other remedies
suggested.

From $50 to $40
Committee of Eight Appointed to Make Study of Defects
in the Present Old-Age Pension Law-Pass Resolution
Advocating Increase in Maximum Monthly Pension.

old-age pensions and anything which
you recommend will be given serious
consideration"
Spokesman for the groups were Mr..
M. J. Lyden, Youngstown, president
of the Ohio State Federation of La
Dor, and Mr.. Charles Sacks, Akron,
chairman of the Eagles Social Sc
curity Committee.
Mr.. Sacks reminded the chief ex-
ecutive that the platform of his party
committed the administration to a
change in the law which would re-
move it from partisan politics and,
to this end, non-political council of
five with overlapping terms is pro-
posed in bill which has been drafted
by the committee and presented to the
governor The bill also provides for
increasing maximum pensions from
$50 to $40 month.
The governor told the delegation
that he was in hearty accord with
this program, but reminded them that
in the last Legislature there was a
policy to oppose creation of any new
councils or commissions.
"Sooner or later" said the COVER
nor, "there is going to have to be a
change in the amount of the pensions
and / will be glad to consider your
suggestions"

(By Ohio LABOR Ne10S Service
Columbus, Ohio.-Employment prob
lens of the negro in Ohio were dis
cussed from various angles in an all
day conference in Columbus last We'd
nesday and a findings committee of
the conference is expected to sum-
marize the discussions and make a re-
port to Governor John w. Bricker
within the next few weeks.
The conference was one of series
of regional meetings arranged by
Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, super
visor of negro placement under the
National Social Security Board. 1t
was called by Governor Bricker as the
chief sponsor in cooperation with
leading industrialists and civic and
educational groups. Nearly 200 were
registered for the conference, includ-
ing representatives of organized labor
in the larger industrial centers.
Explaining the purpose of the con-
ference, Lieutenant Oxley pointed out
the large increase in negro popula-
tion in the industrial centers like De-
troit and Chicago. More than 1900
negroes are pouring into Cook County
every month, he said, and Ohio cities
indicate an increase in negro popula-
tion four or five times as great as the
normal population increase.
Negroes are being replaced in hotel
and restaurant jobs in the South by
other help, he said, so that they not
only have the problem of finding jobs
but holding the type of jobs which
they have been accustomed to hold in
the past. The negro employment
problem, he said, is particularly acute
in Cincinnati and Cleveland, and calls
for thought and action.
H. C. Atkinson, Ohio administrator
of unemployment compensation, who
presided as chairman of the opening
session, stated that new problems for
the negro were being created by new
social security laws which forced en-
ployers to readjust methods of en-
ployment, resulting in selection of the
most competent and forcing the mar
ginal worker into unemployment.
Wade Hammond, acting director of
the Ohio Employment Service, said
the figures in the department files
show the number of negro registrants
for employment is three to four times
as great as the percentage of negroes
to the total population of the state.
Negroes constitute approximately 19
per cent Of the total job seekers reg
ister,d with the Employment Service,
he stated. In referring persons for
positions, he said the employment
service tried to accommodate the en-
ployer and referred the person for a
job whose qualifications best fitted the
employers request. "The final selec-
tion," he said, "rests with the en-
ployer in every instance"

Increased pensions for Ohio's needy
aged and administration of the old
age pension law by a council of five
members were advocated by the ex-
ecutive boards of the Ohio State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and the Ohio Fra
ternal Order of Eagles in a joint
meeting held at the Neil House in
Columbus, December 16.
A committee of eight was appointed
to make a study of defects in the
present old-age pension law. 1t was
composed of M. j. Lyden, Youngs-
town; Thomas j. Donnelly, Columbus;
John E. Breidenbach, Dayton, and
John Rohrich, Cleveland, representing
the federation, and O. Lee Thomas,
Canton; Charles Sachs, Akron; Will
liam Wetherald, GAINESVILLE, and E. F.
Poss, Toledo, representing the Eagles.
A resolution was passed by the Of
eating an increase in the maximum
monthly pension payments to needy
aged from $50 to $40, in conformity
with recent amendments to the Social
Security Act.
In advocating placing the admins
tration of the old-age pension law un-
der a council of five members, instead
of a single administrator as at pres
ent, the group expressed the opinion
that it would bring about needed i'm
provements.
Both organizations have maintained
an active interest in the old-age pen
sion law, advocating improvement
since it was enacted by vote of the
people in 1888.
An aged pension system for Ohio
was approved by the Ohio State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor Convention in 1921,
and an active campaign to provide
pensions for needy aged was launched
in 1922 by the federation and the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles.
On Wednesday, January II, Cover
nor John w. Bricker received from
the executive boards of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor and the Social
Security Committee Of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles, their joint proposal
that the executive convoke a special
session of the Legislature for the pur-
pose of amending Ohio's old-age pen
sion law.
Governor Bricker did not promise
that he would call a special session
but manifested a great deal of inter
est in the proposal and said if ses-
sion were called the appeal made by
labor and Eagles would have great
weight.

nor, "that your organizations are the

Army five, So to SO.
The contest was nard-fought
on the part of the Soldiers but
the Lions were definitely slack
in their passing and shooting.
Army took the lead at the outset
of the fracas but lost it in the sec
ond quarter, although the outcome
was still very doubtful at that
juncture of the fracas. Lions
held a four-point lead but just
couldn't hold the ball.
Army began to weaken aft
er the first-half and the league
leaders increased their margin
over the Soldiers. lKetchings,
using his height to the greatest
advantage possible, made goal
from the foul circle on a jump
play. This was the second time
he has accomplished this feat.
Smith and Ketchihgs were top
men for the victors, while White
scored high for the losers.
