eral Works Administrator John
III. Carmody, Negro carpenters
are working on the 500-unit de-
fense housing project which the
Public Buildings Administration
IS developing IN Mobile, Ala, at
cost Of S1,d09, 900.
Informed that the contractor
had not employed the required
percentage of Negro labor be-
cause white carpenters had threat
ened to walk off the job II Ne
gro carpenters were employed,
Mr.. Carmody sent telegram TO
the business agent of the white
local citing the Presidents nom
discrimination order and the non
discriminating policy Of the Fed
eral Works Agency, and called
upon the union to state its posi-
ton. Both Negro and white car
penters belong to the same union
but are organized in separate
locals,
Failing to receive q satlsfac-
tory answer to his telegram, Mr..
carmody sent an EVA labor re-
lations representative into Mobile
to effect d settlement. Meanwhile
William j. Tren. Jr.. EVA Racl-
al Relations Officer, was IN con-
tact with the business agent OF
te Negro local and with other
leaders of the Negro community.
These efforts resulted in the break
down Of racial discrimination on
this job.
In accordance with the EVA
Regulation, the contractor was
required to pay % percent OF the
payroll for skilled workers and
I'd percent Of the unskllled pay
roll to Negro workers as evidence
