through the water, full steam.
We head for home still hoping to get

we do. But every man in our ship was

seconds, we see it is Navy blimp flying
so close to the water that it seems to be

In this area the need for women

Eight Companies
Are Ordered To
Lift Race Barrier
Holders Of War Contracts
In Two Eastern States To
Cease Discrimination

New York City (ILNS).-The Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employment
Practice is cracking down on COM
panies that discriminate against Negro
and other workers.
The committee has ordered 8 indus
trial concerns, holders of large war
contracts, in the New York and New
Jersey area to cease discrimination
against workers because of race,
religion or national origin.
The action was based on the record
of public hearings held here in Febru-
AIRY and showed that the cited COM
panies had refused to employ qualified
persons because they were Negroes,
Jews or nationals of enemy countries.
1t was taken under Executive Order
$500, which outlaws such discrimina-
lions by war contractors and the gov
eminent.
The concerns cited in the order are

Employees Favor Union
Membership Plan

On the same Chicago street corner
where police bullets killed II worker
and wounded many othcrS on May 5,

Affair, more than 5000 union workers
from the Mccormick Works of the

rolled up II substantial majority in ia

The same eIcctlon-day scene was re-
peated during the week at seven other
plants of the farm equipment concern.
Ballots were east by more than 1000
workers who piled up an eleven TO one
ma jority for the maintenance plan.
The elections were ordered by the
National War Labor Board in finally
settling the long and bitter dispute be
tween the company and AlI and CO
unions holding bargaining rights in the
plants. The plan requires all present
and future union members to remain
in good standing To keep their Jobs. The
Gro Farm Equipment Workers Organ
izing Committee has cNcluSiv" bargain
Ing rights in five plants, AIL Federal
Labor Unions hay" bargaining rights
in two plants, and the tIo United
Automobile Workers In one plant.
The Board order settling the dispute
was designed To guarantee th" domi-
nant union in rHch plant security for
the duration of the war and thus pre-
vcnt Il repetition of what had been one
of the largest and most violent of de

Setting up of the panel was APP
proved by the Association of Amer1-
can Railroads, representing the man
agements.
In the past emergency fact-finding
boards have been appointed separately
for each dispute. Only after ii strike
vote could the machinery of the Rail-
way Labor Act be invoked.
Employees May Ask Board
in view of the fact that American
labor has agreed that during the war
there shall be no strikes, it has become
necessary to adopt Il procedure which
would obviate the necessity for such "a
strike vote" the President said.
Accordingly the Executive order
provides that if Il dispute is not settled
by mediation or arbitration under the
provisions of the Railway Labor Act,
instead of taking Il strike vote the EN-
ployes may request the creation OF an
emergency fact-tinding board.
For this purpose the order provides
for the creation of Il National Railway
Labor Panel consisting of Il chairman
anu tI-lli IlI'lill'l ~ w 'll'i''''' ~
the President. The chairman shall have
the power to designate three members
OF the panel to sit as such an emer-
gency fact-tinding board whenever in
his Judgment the dispute if unadjusted'
may interfere in the absence of Il
strike vote.
No Strike Action Required
"In this way the usual normal pro
cesses of adjustment of railway labor
disputes may be continued without re
quiring the employees actually to 90 Oul
on strike or to take Il strike vote.
This Executive order does not See!
