MICRO WORKERS IN pEEEksE

How much in earnest ore Americans
about their ovowols of belief in free
dom of opportunity While they criti-
cize authoritarian notions for inculcot-
ing doctrine Of subject races, how far
ore they prepored to go in removing
racial discrimination in employment
in q democracy?
Officials in Washington, according
TO reports, ore becoming ocuteIy con-
scious Of the existence Of barriers
oeoint the full use Of tolents and ener-
eies of tho American Negro in defense
industries. The subject is brought into
the open in statement issued last
week by sixty citizens Of North and
South appealing for ereoter justice to
the aspiring Negro worker.
There is no doubt that widespread
preference exists in favor of white
labor over Negro applicants Of equal
or greoter obiIity. The committee as
serts thot "some corporations have
shown themselves unwilling to employ
skilled Negro workers" or have token
on very few, and that Heading indus
trIol plants in different parts Of the
country do not approve the training OF
Negroes in defense closes. OPportun-
ties for training are restricted while at
the same time employment is being
limited to mental labor because Of
alleged lack Of training
The effect of such situation must
be to eouse many Negroes to osk what
reason they as individuals have to sup
port democracy against it's enemies
though it seems oereed thot the situo-
ton IS better than it was few
years ago.
1t is noturoI, and in some measure
fitting. that protests against unfair
discrimination in hiring policies should
be directed primarily to employers.
But it is only foir and foetuoI to rec
ognize thot in many instances the hir-
ing policy is bosed on racial exclusion
rules by skilled croft workers unions
or on roce prejudice among unskiIIed.
unorgonized workers in their COMPETE
ton for jobs, and on desire Of COM
ponies to keep peace in their plants.
An Official Of the New York Stote
Employment Service believes the re-
sponsibiIity about equoIIy divided be-
tween employers and unions.
Problems having so many focets and
dealing with human emotions do not
lend themselves readily to arbitrary
attempts at solution. Changes in GUS
tom and prejudice come more by od-
justment in practice than by assertion
of dogma. The proof thot "God f.
hath made Of one blood all nations Of
men" coils for open-mindedness and
resiliency on one side and for toct and
