Union Discrimination Greets
Negro Workers at Kaiser
Shipyards in Portland
DIV NAACP Press Service)

NEW YORK, N. Y. - Citing the
refusal of AFL union agents to
permit 80 Negro workers imported
to Oregon this week by the Kaiser
Shipyards to sign up as anything
but painters helpers and laborers
is a boon to Axis victory, the
NAACP, in a wire to William
Green, at ALL convention in To-
ronto, Canada, said:
National Association for Ad-
vancement of Colored People ex-
press hope that convention Of
American Federation of Labor will
unequivocally condemn attitude
taken by Local 72 of AFL Metal
Trades Department of Portland,
Oregon, and of Tom Ray, its secre-
tary, who attempted to prevent Ne
gro workers for Kaiser's shipyard
from working except as painters
helpers and laborers, we ask Amer
lean Federation of Labor to go
further and not only condemn color
bars in all AFL unions where they
exist but to take unequivocal and
concrete action to eliminate such
restrictions on pain of expulsion
from the American Federation of
Labor. Any action short of this
would stultify American Fedora
ton of Labor both with respect to
its asking privileges and immuni-
ties for white workers while deny
ing them to Negro workers, and
also because barring needed work.
ers from war industries directly
contributes to Axis victory, which
would lead to enslavement of all
workers."
Learning that Mrs. Anna Rosen-
berg, Regional Director of the New
York War Man Power Commission,
had at first refused to fill the
Kaiser order because of the unions
anti-Negr6 stand and had taken
the order only when she was in
formed that the barrier had been
removed, the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People commended Mrs. Rosenberg
on her fortnight action against
labor union discrimination and ex-
pressed the hope that other Off
Gals will follow her example.
Along with AGO white workers,
the 80 Negro workers arrived at
the Henry ]. Kaiser Shipyards on
October 1. The union representa-
tives boarded the special train on
which there had been no segrega-
ton and reclassifed the white
workers without experience as
helpers in the various crafts. Many
of the white men on the train were
without previous mechanical ex-
perience. Of the 80 Negroes at
least 10 could qualify as boiler
makers helpers on the basis of ac-
tual experience, and five already
held union cards with affiliated
AFL locals, but the Negroes were
allowed to sign up only as paint
ers' helpers at 95 cents an hour, or
as laborers at IS cents an hour. At
first the Negroes refused to sign
up, but later all but one signed as
helpers or laborers. Marion Hill,
the Negro who refused to sign, re-
turned to New York. He was Civ
en- a return ticket and $40 for ex-
penses by the general manager of
the Kaiser yards.

$40 Enrolment
In Public Schools:
rs P. C. Decrease

With 25 per cent decrease in
attendance compared with last
year. Browning public schools
new term began Tuesday, the
enrolment being 80.
Despite the drop in attendance,
which condition is prevalent in
most inland sections of the ma
ton because of the circumstances
of war, characteristic enthusiasm
and high resolve are inspiring.
As of other years, Supt. X. W.
Bergan said. the schools will
maintain their high standard,
the will to achieve being too
strongly intrenched in the hearts
of all concerned to permit defeat
ism,
Attendance in high school will
be somewhat increased within
the next several weeks, since a
number of students are tempo
rarily employed at agricultural
work, planning to take I'D their
studies following completion of
harvesting.
With considerable of the COM
munity's population at Pacific
coast points engaged with war
work, the result is less attend
ance until the war ia over. If
worse comes to worse and the
Selective Service policy requires
drafting of men with dependent
children considerable further
decrease in attendance will be
the result.
Enrolment figures up to We'd
nesday evening are as follows;

The Little Fellow
Should Survive

I
Washington this week an import
ant piece of legislation, designed
to keep 20 million American auto
mobiles rolling for the duration
of the war. to which, we believe.
entirely too little attention has
been paid by the public.
This bill-it is called the FL
lender-Patman Tire Conservation
Bill offers definite, sensible SOL
utions to the problem of how to
keep the nations vital motor
transport moving in the face of a
rubber shortage. This should be
accomplished " retreading 30
million tires every year with all.
reclaim-rubber Gaping to- k;
and to those who point to the
shortage of rubber and say it
cannot be done. the Rubber
Manufacturers Association has
said that it can be done. The
bill would stabilize tire prices
and release for immediate sale
those odd.sized and lower-level
tires which are obviously of no
value to the war effort.
There is a further provision in
this bill, which, it seems to US,
is even more important than its
other sections. from the stand
point of winning the peace"
which must follow the winning
at the war. Designed to contri-
butte to the maintenance of free
enterprise. this measure provides
that, for the duration of the war,
all tire sales and service be
turned over to independent tire
and gasoline dealers, so that
these little businesses" by get
ting all the business that is left,
may be sustained until Victory
brings lifting of tires sales
restrictions.
This would mean that the rub
Der company-owned factory out
let's and tn e big oil.companv-
owned super service stations
would turn retail tire business
over to these little fellows
during the war. retaining for
themselves only the whoIesaling
function.
But it is important to point out
that this measure would hurt no.
body. In the first place, these
big companies are prospecting
through war contract work, and
don't need h comparatively
small amount of business repre-
scented by tire sales.
But beyond that, t is fact
that both the oil companies and
the rubber companies do most of
their business through independ
ent dealers-so it would mean,
for them, simply concentrating
en- wholesaling, so their own in
dependent dealers could exist.
Doesn t that seem fair.
The Chief urges support of
these Tire Conservation Bills.
There is entirely too little atten-
ton paid by Washington to the
maintenance of free enterprise.
We must make every effort to
see that it does not disappear.
