A group OF three hundred Negro
and white women meeting under
the auspices Of the Winter Lecture
series Of Plymouth Congregational
church feel that the effort to deny
TO Negro women the opportunity to
work on war jobs in the Ford plants
is indefensible. This effort to bar
Negro women is adding oil to Axis
fires. We urge you in the name Of
democracy and in the interest of
winning the war that you take Ne
gro women into war Jobs imme-
diately. Any other procedure is
unpatriotic.
