WASHINGTON, d. C.-(S N 81
In a warning that "Lynching and
disfranchisement are two practices
which dampen enthusiasm for the
war among those who are their
victims" the NAACP this week
urged 468 senators and representa-
tives who have not already done
so to sign discharge petitions on
the anti-lynching and anti-poll tax
bills now on the speakers desk.
The Axis utilizes lynching and
discrimination" the NAACP re-
minded the congressman, ''in radio
broadcaSts to prove to the majority
of the people of the world whose
skins are brown, yellow, or black
that our country is not sincere
when it declares that it is fight
ing a war for democracy.
"The most effective answer to
such charges the letter to the
Congressman said, sis to bring our
practices in accord with our an
nounced war aims by eradication of
these and all other undemocratic
practices"

ONLY ONE ALTERNATIVE

There is only one alternative.
Either the Bell plant gets under
full operation by training and ac-
cepting Negro workers on the basis
of full equality with white workers,
or the more than million dollars
spent by the government for the
erection of the plant is so much
wasted money.
The war picture is not so bright
that any American, north or
south, can afford to hesitate any
longer, over the relatively simple
problem of eradicating color in en-
ployment. Bombers and more bomb
ers are needed if victory is to ever
be held firmly in our grasp. Any
American who would become a
stumbling block to their production
is just as surely an enemy of this
country as Mr.. Shicklegruber him.

WITHDRAW BULLETIN
Just as the contents OF the first
letter, sent on March have been
revealed, neither have these, MOI
is it expected that they will be
Nevertheless, since speculation on
the first letter dwelt on an agree
ment that had been arrived at be-
tween McNutt and the Committee,
and concluded in a memorandum
dated October 26, 1912, and since
this letter is understood to have
complained of a failure on Nc
Nuts part to do any of the things
agreed to except the withdrawal Or
amendment to the famous "Bulle-
tin Cas-" which was not a part
of that letter - present guesswork
is that this was the matter being
laid before the President.
CAS- is the operational bulletin
sent out last June by the United
States Employment service which
permitted the filling of job requisi-
tons carrying discriminatory speci-
fications if it had been found that
a degree of missionary work on
the employer had failed to convert
him to the hiring of people On the
basis of merit alone"
ADMITS IGNORANCE
Four weeks after its issuance the
FEPC wrote McNutt and asked him
to do something about the matter
McNutt has never answered the
committees communication. When
queried at his press conference on
Monday as to whether or not the
bulletin was still in effect, McNutt
said he knew nothing about the
particular bulletin, was unfamiliar
with it in fact.
Fowler Harper, deputy war man.
power commissioner, however, was
quick to say that "the bulletin is
now under consideration for revi-
sion" He admitted later that this
consideration had been under way
for some time now. 1t seems that
the problem is one of re-defining
the word discrimination
Furthermore, there appears to be
a growing reluctance on the part
of McNutt in his regular press con-
ference, to answer questions about
the FEPC. If he says anything at
all, it is either "off the record" or
mo comment" Questions bearing
upon other labor problems, how
ever, are being freely answered.

MUST DEPEND UPON NEGROES


ing against the wholesale impor-
tation of workers clinches the
councils argument that the Bell
plant will have to depend upon
Negro workers for the recruitment
of virtually 40 percent of its
needed personnel.
This is a sOmbre fact which
apparently the Bell manage
ment is not any too enthusi-
astic over. This is shown daily in
advertisements calling for work
ers. The only reference made
to Negro workers follows the
usual pattern. Negroes, so the
ads lead one to believe, are
wanted only as common labor
ers or to fill the 800 openings
for janitOrs, maids and p0rters.
Certainly the Bell management
cannot hope to attain full produc-
ton under the existing circum-
stances following this old familiar
pattern. No longer can holders OF
vitality important war contracts
indulge in the expensive luxury OF
racial prejudice. If we are to wiz
workers must be accepted and paid
according to their skill, not their
color. Surely the astute Bell mana
cement has sensed this, even if
Negro batting Atlanta officials have

FACED STONE WALL
For nearly a year members of
the council found themselves fac
ing a stone wall, so determined was
the opposition to setting up any
program which would train Negro
workers for the jobs which were
soon to be available at the Bell
plant.
Using money that Congress
had specifically ear-marked to
be spent without racial discrim-
ination, these officials order
ed equipment running into sew
eral hundred thousands of dol
lars and setup three large train
ing centers operating twenty
four hours daily to prepare
white workers.
M. d. Mobley, Georgia's educator
director, in one conference with
the council frankly admitted that
he had simply not entertained the
idea that Negro workers would be
used, when all the facts and figures
pointed SO clearly to the conclusion
that the plant could never reach
full production unless the huge
available Negro labor supply was
tapped.
MORLEY STILL ADAMANT
Until this late date, when the
Bell management faces the difficult
problem of securing workers, Mr..
Mobley has never rescinded his
original adamant position. The one
training center which was finally
Set-up at Washington High School
was not the result of any efforts
on the part of Mr.. Mobley.
Instead the limited pro-
gram began only a few short
months ago, came as result
OF the councils appeal over the
head of Mr.. M0bley to Wash
ingtOn authorities. Even the unit
established at Washington high
school is SO tiny in comparison
to the three elaborate centerS
for white, one is led to be-
lieve that its purpose is more
to serve as q token, rather than
actually train workers for the
Bell plant.
Lending credence to this belief
is the refusal of Supt. H. r. Hunter
of the Atlanta school board, to
operate the Negro unit on three
full shifts as is being done at
the white centers. As q consequence
