cations that they refused to en-

both; that they had given restrict

for only white or only gentle
workers; that they had advertised

Discrimination
Against Negroes

I am member of a group Of
mere than fourteen million Amer
leans, and I am speaking not for
them alone because that would not
be speaking for every American,
hut there is no complete America
which does not have an indefinite
concern for the fourteen million
Negro Americans.
Twice within the last few weeks
president Roosevelt has spoken
with disapproval of discrimination
against any group on account of
race, creed or color. On every
hand skilled Negro workers have
desired work, first from a pat
riotic viewpoint, and then for the
increased wages which a skilled
worker would receive in order that
he might better provide for a fam
lily, educate his children and enjoy
few comforts of life. It is
sad commentary in a democracy
that these people are denied work
simply because they are Negroes.
I wish that the white people of
the country would rise up and de-
mand that those who employ la
boz give any person a chance to
work if he has the ability to do
the task required.
These is discrimination in the
employment of Negro skilled work
ers. Even if all or a large portion
of Negro workers Were not skilled
if given chance and provided the
means of training they could soon
be trained to a state of efficiency
which would be the pride OF all.
No one can believe in a total
defense which does not concern it.

F. E. C.. Cracks Down On Racial Bias;
Tep> Firms Ordered To Lift The Ban
Ten Firms Ordered to Hire Workers
Regardless of Race, Greed Or Origin

WASHINGTON-Ten companies
holding millions of dollars in war
contracts were ordered by the
Presidents committee on fair en-
ployment practice today to cease
discriminating against workers be-
cause Of race or religion.
In its first such action, the COM
mittee directed that the firms
oil in the Chicago and Milwaukee
area-"give written notice*** ad-
vising that each plant will accept
applicants without regard to race,
color, creed or national origin"
Since President Roosevelt estab-
lished the committee by executive
order last June, all war contracts
have contained a pledge binding
the contractor not to discriminate
ia hiring laborers.
Committee officials said failure
of the companies to comply with
the order could result in govern
ment claims of contract violations
and fines or, in severe cases not
involving vital war materials, sus-
pension of the contract.
Firms Listed
Companies involved in the Chi
cage area are the Stewart War
ner corporation, the Buick avia-
ton plant at Melrose, ILL.,; the

spoke for five minutes encourag-
ing and inspiring the group to
exert their best effort. He said he
was happy to be in the meeting
and see how courageously the
membership was organizing for
the NAACP campaign.
II the members were not inspir-
ed before Mr.. Johnson's talk, they
were certainly inspired afterwards.
But evidences point to the fact
that the members realized they
were organizing for community
service. The chairman, Mrs. v.
L. Penick was gratified when the
members told of how they planned
a house to house campaign, and
also how splendidly the Church of
the People had responded. The
chairman is courageous and she is
determined to carry on until the
goal of 1000 members is reached.
Every citizen in Seattle is invited
and each one is urged to call Mrs.
Penick at East $3.50, or the CAM
paign secretary, Mrs. Shannon at
East 1853 and let them know
when a worker may call for your
memberships. Mrs. James Roston,
who for years held the banner for
bringing in the largest number of
members, wants her friends to
know she is back on the job. She
is not able to get around as much
as usual, but if her friends will
call her at East 1872, one Of the
other workers will call for her
and she will get the credit. This

point out that we also have before
lis today, a very definite necessity
of considering another element in
relation to the present time. It Is
about this other element that ]
would like to make some consider
alton in today's column.
If ever in our history we were
faced with a combination of the
appropriate time and a definite
necessity of giving consideration
to our problem, it is at present.
Likewise, if there ever were the
appropriate time and necessity of
giving definite consideration to
some of the faults of our own
group, this is that time also. We
are now face to face with the
proper time and the necessity of
creating a greater recognition
among our own people Of some of
cur own faults. Along with this
creation of a greater recognition
of these faults goes a very definite
responsibility of the introduction
of efforts and programs to correct
some of these faults. One recog-
nizing these faults and making no
effort to correct them is worse, to
my way of thinking than not even
recognizing ones faults.
