Horn Says No
Discrimination at
Brighton Plant

Qualified Negroes will get ex-
actly the same consideration in en-
ployment at the New Brighton
munitions plant as all other citi-
zens, was the fortnight announce
ment on Tuesday of Chas. L. Horn,
president of the Federal Cartridge
Co., and prime contractor of the
100000 government small
munitions plant.
Mr.. Horn conferred with Cecil E.
Newman, of the Spokesman and
Recorder newspapers, and Chas.
w. Washington, of the Urban
League, Tuesday to discuss plans
for participation of the two Negro
communities in the 5000 jobs
which will be available when the
plant opens.
Participating in part of the con-
ference was Forrest Wheeler, di-
rector of personnel for the plant.
The Spokesman and Recorder
newspapers, familiar with the rec
ord and career of Mr.. Horn, ascer-
tanned weeks ago that there would
be no discrimination in the selec-
ton of employees.
Because of the great number of
rumors prevalent, Mr.. Horns
statement of Tuesday will no
doubt be welcomed by the general
public.
