lace of a growing shortage OF work
efs and an eVer-tightening labor
market, many employers both

SHORTAGES ARTIFICIAL
Stubbornly ignored is the fact
that many current shortages of
Iahor in several Of the nations
largest industrial centers have been
artificially created by these racial
~ biased employment policies. In

saipyards there by the middle OF

mark. Yet a further examination

BY JULIUS L. HIBLER

NORFOLK, Va-(S N S)-When
the United States Navy decided to
give Negroes chance to use their
skill in various trades, more than
1000 colored men Immediately en-
listed, and on the tWenty-sixth day
Of September this year, reported
for active duty at Allen, the Naval
CONSTRUCTION Training Center near
Norfolk, Va
Electricians, carpenters, drillers.
blacksmiths, ringers, truck drivers,
pipetitters, painters, craftsmen, steel
workers, laborers, men of some SO
other trades were placed in one unit
to make the 34th u. S. Naval
Construction Battalion, unit OF
that group becoming better known
as the "SeabeeS." More than 500
OF these men were given advanced
ratings due to special skills in
their respective trades.
HARDEST PERIOD OF LIFE
The few weeks at Allen might be
said to be the hardest period OF
anyone's Naval career-detention
for physical check-up and inocula-
ton. The first day was easy-as-

FAILS TO SEE POINT

its racial prejudieed hiring policies
as a blow to national unity"
FAILS TO SEE POINT
He, remained stupidity oblivious TO
the harm this hiring policy was
doing to the war effort. Because the
Capital Transit Company could not
find white workmen, many of its
buses and street cars remained idle.
And because transportation facili-
ties were inadequate many war
workers either could not get TO
work or lost valuable time enroute.
Meanwhile available Negroes, who
could have kept the Capital Tran
cit Company's service up to the
demands Of the emergency, were
restrained from doing SO by the
company's narrow-minded hiring
policies.
That one order completely
eliminated a bOttleneck in the
war manp0wer program which
was becoming more entangled
each day. This move is inter
preted by Mr.. Rankin as q
social gain for Negroes there
fore he is against it. In other
words Mr.. Rankin lets us know
that if Negroes are TO benefit
by anything that will also help
win the war, he would rather
lose to the Japs and Germans.
Rather dumb, don't you think?
But his thinking is no dumber
than that of government officials
who still hold to the belief that
we can win using only 80 per cent
of our manpower while our enemies
are not only using 100 per cent of
their populations, but are also
making full use of all the peoples
they have conquered.
TAKE NEGROES IN DRIBBLETS
Take for example the Army Air
Corps. Every fifteen minutes a plea
is made on the radio for pilots
to man the thousands of planes
being produced. Several hundred
thousand pilots, gunners, lombard
iers and radio technicians will
be needed before we win. But you
wouldn't thing SO, judging from
the gingerly rate the army admits
and graduates Negro flyers at the
lone training school open to black
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1942-12-12

Americans.
Black faces, too, are still bar
red completely from many fight
ing units, although it must be
admitted freer use is being
made of them in this war than
in any previous conflict. The
government could well erect
white only signs though, at
the camps where paratr0ops
are trained, or at the schools
training women for the
'WAVES" or the "SPARS.'
As badly as the army needs skill
ed medical men, not single Me-
gro doctor has been commissioned
out of the hundreds of well-pre-
pared practitioners residing in
Georgia. The same is doubtless true
in other Southern states.
LONG WAY TO co
All of which shows that America
still has a long way to go before
it can be truthfully said that this
country is 100 per cent all out for
the war effort. Because we cam
not hope to win without this all
out effort, it would be reason
ably safe bet that most Of these
job barriers, based on the same
insane racial bugaboos advocated
by Hitler, will of necessity be aban-
doned before victory is ever held
firmly in our grasp.
In that simple fact lies the chief
hope that economic strangulation
which for SO long has been choking
black men in America will be eased
no matter how many Rankins take
the floor to fume and fuss about
social gains"

SHOULD GET HITLER CROSS

Employers holding war contracts,
who persist in maintaining these
ndemocratic hiring methods, are
certainly deserving of an Iron
Cross from Hitler whether they
receive one Or not For the contri-
button they are making to his
cause is far more disastrous to
the United Nations than anything
the eight saboteurs landed on our
shores by his submarines could
have accomplished.
That there are men in Con-
gress who in the face of these
facts can take the floor and
attempt to defend this direct
sabotage of our about war
effort almost ON the anniversary
of the nefari0us Pearl HarbOr
attack forms one of the most
amazing incidents of the week.
Representative Rankin, of Mis-
sissippi. one of those men who
still refuse to concede that this war
is being waged for human equality,
took the floor in Congress the other
day and belched up the same cid
racial and imperialistic bile that
brought about this war.
