NEW HAVEN, CONFEDERATION
because OF war contracts has zoom-
ed Negro employment at the huge
Winchester Repeating Arms Com
pany from a normal 200 TO a pres
ent total OF 1900. with 200 having
| been added since February OF this
year. Included in this number are
1877 Negro women. with 1873 OF them
taken on since February.
This is in striking contrast with
the situation found in many other
sections OF the nation, when pop
ulation Is considered. Comparative
ly few Negroes live in the whole
OF New England-far less than are
found in some areas on Chicago's
South Side. However, Winchester
is the biggest single employer OF
Negroes in this part OF the nation.
Perform Many Duties
Before the war the 200 employees
were working mainly as unskilled
laborers. Today they are serving
as truckers, molders. casters, mill
rollers, machine operators. tally
clerks. plate leaders. washers, heat
treaters. buffers, packers. sheet
metal workers. machine adjusters.
drop forge workers. maintenance
workers, hustlers, cartridge packers
and in other occupations. This
shows a general distribution in both
skilled and unskilled categories.
They are integrated throughout the
plant, working beside white en-
ployees.
The job OF tally clerk claims a
large percentage OF Negro en-
ployees. Distributed in most of the
departments throughout tho gigan-
tic plant. they are usually located
in strategic places where a new
operation Is TO begin. A tally
clerks job is to weigh boxes Of ma

whom he works in perfect har-
mony.

IF that other game had wound
up with TT score, the league never
would live it down." commented
Frank Boucher, the New York Rang
ers' coach after looking over last
nights results in the National
Hockey League.
The Rangers had just finished
playing a A tie with the Detroit
Red Wings in a wide-open game in
which nearly everything happened
and the rest probably would have If
1t had lasted longer. The Montreal
Canadiens had tied the Chicago
Blackhawks at 3-3 after being two
goals behind. And Boston's Bruins
had staged third-period comeback
to whip the Toronto Maple Leafs,
rs.
And what might have made the
situation somewhat embarrassing was
the fact that it was just this week
end that the circuit had begun to
operate under a new plan of elm
mating overtime periods in order to
do away with some of its tranSporta-
ton troubles.
So 1t was the Bruins who saved
the day and at the same time
brought about a three-way tie for
the league lead with Toronto. which
had gone to the top with Saturdays
