LEADERS ARE BLAMED

The fact that 1T has not brought about the de-
sired result should be attributed largely to our
leaders who bandly accepted it panacea for
the economic ills which have afflicted Negroes as
4 race long before the present national emergency.
Even President Roosevelt fOresaW that the order
itself would not serve to change the prejudiced be-
liefs of many American union leaders and indus
trialists busily engaged in turning out
weapons to insure the perpetuation Of the free
American way OF life
That is why he the necessity of setting up
the Fair Employment Practices Committee. And
this committed, which includes two members of our
race, remains poWerlesS unless these widespread
cases of employment discrimination reported The
committee itself cannot ferret out these colorblind
employers.

GOVERNMENT WORST


Most adamant of all employers in refusing to
give black workers an equal chance with other Ameri-
cans is the government itself fairly definite pat
tern has been set ty the government in the employ
ment of Negro workers no matter how brilliant
they may be, or how well qualified.
To those few who have luckily slipped through
the tight color line drawn around MANY federal civil
service jobs promotions simply not in order.
A good example is the Fourth Corps Area Quar-
termasters Office located in Atlanta For years tho
lo,Vly position of messenger in this office has been
labeled for Negro workers only. That was when
the job paid $50 month. Since the emergency the
messenger positions have been placed under civil
service and the pay increased to $50 monthly All
the Negro messengers but two have disappeared
and white men have taken their places
REMAIN MESSENGERS
The two Negro messengers month in and month
out remain just that-messengers. White youths
start messengers and after the passing of two or
three months certified as junior clerks at the
higher pay Of S1440 annually. Other white messen-
gers quickly take their Places although there is
long list of Negroes who have qualified for these
positions. This is but isolated case of the many
hundreds that could be cited

part Gonspicuously ignored From all appearances
