Skilled Neg. Workers
Barred AT Fl. Dix, N. ].

New York - Negro carpenters
are being refused employment at
construction projects now going
forward at Fort Dix, New Jersey,
United States Government air
fields now under construction in
three cities in Florida, the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People revealed today.
The revelation was made in con-
nection with the associations sur
vey of discrimination against the
Negro in the operation of the Gov
ernment's national defese program
throughout the coutry.
At Fort Dix, New Jersey, where
construction firms working under
overnment contracts are engaged
in huge bulldog program to house
troops, the N. A. A. C. P. learned
that only three Negro carpenters
are employed out of $50 carpenters
working there.
Despite the fact that the Greater
Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, the A. F. of L.
union, which controls the job, has
a large number of Negro members
many of whom have been in the
union more than score of years,
the union has issued an order bar
ring work to all except residents
of the county. No Negro members
of the union live in the county. The
three Negro carpenters now en-
ployed at Fort Dix, got their jobs
only after they made a strong pro-
test.
More than fifteen Negro car
penters have been refused work
at the camp during the past few
weeks, although white carpenters
who are non-residents of the coun-
ty, are being employed daily.

This was the statement made to-
