~COMMANDANT SAYS NAVY

WORKERS

Philadelphia-According to Rear
Admiral A. E. Watson, Command
ant Of the Philadelphia Navy Yard
the order to use the Letter FW" for
white employees and IN" for Ne
gro Employees on Identification
badges at the Navy yard, came
from the Navy department at
Warrington. The Rear Admiral
made this known after a strong
protest against the practice from
Theodort Spauding, president Of
the Philadelphia branch of the N
AACP.
But the Washington Navy De-
partment in answer to a report on
the race-labeling from the nation
al office Of the NAACP replied
simply that it would make zap
propriate inquiry. The NAACP
letter was addressed to Secretary
Of the Navy Frank Knox and was
ANSWERED by Ralph A. Bard of the
Office Of the Assistant Secretary.
The Identification badges which
label workers according to race
are new ones. The NAACP. com

CURRIER co, DENIED
CLAIMS so
RACE

Detroit, Mich.,-The p. J. Curr-
Ter Lumber Company here which
was denied a defense housing con-
tract cespite its low bid, is an an
pioyer Of Negro labor without dis
tinction as to types Of jobs. This
cl,.im IS contained in a letter to
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
from Donald F. Currier, treasurer.
Denial Of the contract to the
Currier company by Sidney Hill
man, Co-Director Of the Office of
Production Management, in favor
Of A. F. of L. building trades IN
ions means that the huge housing
job will be done by unions which
generally bar Negroes from merl-
bership.
Billman stirred a storm Of Lro-
test by his so-called sterilization
agreement with the A. T. Of l.. "
ions. 1t has been charged that
this gave the A. F. of L. a virtual
monopoly in defense construction.
The letter from the Currier com
pany to the NAACP. dated Oct5-
Der p states: SAT the present tinle
we have approximately go Negro
employees. These men do the
same type Of work at the same
rate Of pay as any other employee.
Some of them are employed as
truck. drivers, operators of cement
block machinery, cement block stor
age plant workers, masons and
any other capacity for which their
talents fit them"
1t also states that this is not
a new policy with the company and
rat Negro workers are said to re-
celve all benefits such as group

and William Guthrie, retained in
Hayes behalf by the local branch
of the AAC secured his release
here on October 18th.
Immediately after Hayes arrest
in March, the branch investigated
the case and was convinced that
Hayes was not the criminal. His
case was first put on the calendar
for September 10, and because he
had no funds, two inexperienced
lawyers were appointed by the
court to defend him.

Regardless of whether the

United States Code which provid-

Defense industry personnel chiefs
Tuesday testified that no racial
barriers exist at their plants but
admitted that only a decimal per-
centage Of minority races" are on
their payrolls.
The testimony was given at the
first days session Of the comm
ittee appointed by President Roose
welt to investigate charges of rae
ial discrimination in the hiring Of
workers for national defense in
dustries.
Personnel officers Of aircraft
and shipbuilding stands accounted
for the scarcity Of Negro workers
on their ~payrolls in several ways.
One executive said his company
hired through union hiring halls
and that no Negroes were sent
when his company called for men.
Another testified that white
workmen had threatened to go
strike if Negroes or Mexicans were
promoted from lower labor brack-
cts.
Still another said his company
received very few applications
from the so-called "minority races

very little preparation for war or
peace.
The public should hear all of

PROBLEMS, rather than their agree

for the time is coming when men and
women in American Public Life will
have to stand on their own feet; when
a mere "me too" will be unavailing.

"The call for the converting of
a National Conference Of Negco
Youth, seems to meet these three
challenges" DR.. Bethune said. 1T
is timely, pertinent and necessary
"a militant youth, able to keep
its feet IN the ground, but it's head
high and its eyes clear, will be an
asset to America as our country
bears itself to the rapid tempo re-
quired for the defense Of demcc-
racy. Today it is just as true as
when Lincoln spoke these immort-
al words: "A house divided against
itself cannot stand"
"Inasmuch as / understand the
purpose of this conference is to
point the way toward greater unity
by Indignation Of the Negro irto
all the practical aspects Of demo-
cracy-not just in theory be-
lieve it will serve a real purpose"
The conference will give special
attention to the problems facing
two million Negro youth in the IN
tied States, approximately eighty
thousand of whom are in the army
as regards their integration in ma
tional defense industries, the ar
ious branches of the armed fore
es, and civilian defense activities.
More than eight hundred thousand
Negro young people between the
ages of 20 and "a years, are IN
employed, according to govern
ment statistics, despite the dire
need for workers in defense in
dustries.
A cultural festival will be one
of the highlights of the confer
ence. Thomas Richardson, author
Of pace: America, a dramatic
history of the National Assoclat-
ion for the Advancement Of Color
ed People; and Waring Quincy, col
laborator with Joshua White on

festival.
