NEW YORK, April 4.-Is the
Stanley Cup hockey series that
begins tonight the last for the
duration2 Answer: No. With
most of the young players going
into the services this summer,
there's sure to be tough shedding
ahead, but our idea is that they'll
be able to patch up the big league
teams with exempt players, vet
Grams and minor leaguers, to keep
going even If the minors do have
to fold. Boston's Art Ross Is to
air has ideas tonight and one sug-
gestion will be that all profits
should go to war funds. Other
sports likely will keep going in
the same way-the big leagues
at the top and sandlot and indus
trial teams at the bottom and not
much in between.

''There is increasing feeling a
gainst labor unions organizing

Negro labor is less subservient
than white labor at present and
employers do not expect this.
With the threat of a labor short
age looming close, employers re-
sent any encouragement to labor
to become too courageous and de-
handing. Negroes have been the
beasts Of burden in southeast Mis-
souri, and since it is important to
the economic set-up that they re-
main in this status, they are not
encouraged to develop. The
white people of southeast Mis-
souri, do not like independent Ne

100000 WPA TRA|NEES
LEAVE FOR Jobs, Is
Per CENT ARE negroes

WASHINGTON, d. G., Feb. 26
-WPA workers who have left
national defense vocational train
ing programs for private or gov
eminent employment now num-
Der more than 100000. Seventy
four hundred Of those who have
thus qualified themselves for and
obtained wartime jobs are Ne
groes.
Of the 10000 WPA employees
who had undergone training or
were still in training in Deem
Der, courses in public vocation
al schools accounted for $4,000,
including more than 20,500 col
cred persons. The others had
been assigned to factories for Gin
plant training or to airports for
training as ground servicemen.
The defense training program
for WPA workers began in July,
1910, in cooperation with the
United States Office Of Educa-
ton, which In turn cOoperated
with local school authorities in
providing teachers and facilities.
The WPA itself does not operate
training schools.
Fifty percent of the vocational
trainees under this plan are usu-
ely allotted to the WPA, with
WPA project employees selected
on the basis Of previous expert
ence for training in such fields
as mechanics, welding and ma
chine operations.
Those from the WPA rolls re-
ceive WPA wages while fitting
themselves in vocational classes
for wartime industrial jobs or
other employment created by the
defense program. WPA workers
who are trained at airfelds are
selected and paid on the same
basis.
