U. IS. Minister to Liberia, was
host to a gN,lp of distinguished

PROPOSE OPM Confab On Construction Discrimination
HiIImans Spokesmen Admit
Situation; Plead No Power

The personnel of such confer
ence would include representatives
Of government, industry, organized
labor and colored people.
The proposal was made at
conference last Tuesday between
representatives of the committee
on participation of Negroes in the
National Defense program and OF
labor division of OPM.
Dr.. Howard H. Long, assistant
superintendent of schools, and
DR.. Rayford w. Logan. professor
cf history at Howard University,
represented the committee. The
office of Sidney Hillman, co-ad-
ninistrator of OPM, was repre-
sented bv Eric Nicol, J. w. Dietz,
Floyd Reeves, Robert c.. Weaver
and Eli oliver
DR.. Logan explained the evasion
by government. industry and or
ganized labor of the question of in
tegrating colored workmen into
the national defense program.
Spokesman for Mr.. Hillman as
sured DR.. Long and DR.. Logan of
their goodwill but freely admitted
their lack of power to coerce in
dustry. They said they realize that
the time is coming when colored
workmen will have to be hired
whether they are wanted or not.
In the meanwhile, they said they
would seek the means by which
Improvement can be hastered.
DR.. Long suggested that some-
thing should be done in the mean-
while to allay the widespread fear
among colored workmen that the
present national emergency may
not last long enough for them
to get Jobs. He emphasized the fact
that labor unions have become a
ouasi-government agency and sug-
guested that the Government
chould control its activities.
Dr.. Logan suggested another
conference that would include rep
resentatives also of the office OF
education, the United States
Chamber of Commerce. the Ma
tjonal Association of Manufacturers
the Committee on Industrial Or
ganization. and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The proposal met with some
favor. Mr.. Nicol was not sure that
OPM could call such conference
but asked that a memorandum be
submitted on the question.

The city presents an air of
militarism with its thousands OF
uniformed troops appearing on
its streets.
To this great number, there are
thousands of laborerS who are en-
gagged in various occupations al

capacities.
The citizens as a whole are do
ing much to aid in providing rec
reation for the colored soldiers. A
center for their recreation has
already been established. Promin-

and civic-minded persons are

First of all there is that great

drifter, the loafer, the gambler, the
schemer, and worker. There is the
flow of money, and there is that
evil created by an easy financial
downpour There is the landlord
who, seeing room becoming at a
premium, raises the rent. There is
the business manager, who adds tc
his original price, and of course
there is the downright '"beat." All
this is true of Alexandria.

Pointing out that diseased men
are not acceptable for army
service and that men with criminal
records are being rejected, it has
been said that the war department
officials are unfair in not doing
something about this great mass OF

1t is being suggested in parts
of the country that these men with
criminal records be utilized in work
outfits, and removed from commu-

suffer by virtue of their presence.
