that given whites, although all the

All took refuge behind four
little words in the 1910 act ap-
propriating funds for the train

read, "to the extent needed"

plain why they were not equal

1T is clear here that the national
war effort is being blocked by the

A SIMPLE DODGE
The dodge used by these training,
officials is extremely simple, but
highly effective in keeping Negroes
out. IndustrialistS one after ano-
ther, took the stand and said they
had not in the past used any but
would use capable Negro workers,
if any were available. The training
authorities, armed with federal
money and blandly ignoring federal
policy, come right behind and de-
clare their reason for not offering
Negroes anything but cookery,
laundering, auto mechanics and
blacksmithing, is that they cannot
secure jobs if trained for the high
ly skilled war techniques.
Mr.. Mobley, ignoring federal
directives that training is to be
offered "even where no inn

MANY HIDING

continuance of this system hide
behind the clock of the constitu-
