Investigator Says Dayton Is In No. |
Critical Labor Area Because Negroes
Are Denied Bench Work

Many industries refuse to
hire skilled Negro workers on
their production lines because
Dixie whites oppose it, the in
vestigator found. As a result,
they receive only menial jobs.
Henry Parks, director of the
NYA at Wilberforce univer-
sity, has tried repeatedly but
unsuccessfully to get skilled
work for young men under his
supervision.
Wilberforce students, al
though better qualified than
thousands Of white southern
ers, have been refused COM
mon Jobs on production lines
and rendered janitorial work
only. OF the 100000 or more
men and women in the Day
ton area engaged in war pro-
duction, only q small fraction
are Negroes with any respon-
sible jobs.
For more than two years /
have been investigating the
causes Of race discrimination
throughout the midwest for
the Associated Negro Press,
of which / am a staff me II
ber," said Mr.. Tavlor in his
letter to Mr.. Williams. A
summary of these findings / is
been forwarded to labor oil
cials in Washington with a re-
quest that they take definite
steps for their remedy, in view
of the fact that no satisfac-
ton could be obtained from
industrialists gaining a hene-
at from government con-
tracts.

proclaimed here, yet hundreds

In every trade, are barred be

ny ASSOCIATED NEGRO
PRESS INVESTIGATOR

CHICAGO, May-(ANP)
A comprehensive survey by
Leon w. Taylor, special inves-
tigator for the Associated Ne
gro Press, in which evidence
Of gross race discrimination
was uncovered and turned
over to government author
tiles In Washington, has
caused the designation Of
Dayton. O., 40 q No. / critical
area for labor shortage.
As q result the Dayton
chamber Of commerce called
together 30 Of the most In
fiuential industrial leaders In
this key aircraft center to in
vestigate and remedy the att
uation in order to remove it's
designation as q critical area.
Meanwhile Mr.. Taylor, a
former Wilberforcc university
football coach and well known
throughout that section Of
Ohio, remains on the scene
conducting, q further probe
for the Associated Negro
Press with the. aim of rem
edying q racial and economic
condition there brought on by
the migration Of prejudiced
whites from the rural south.
When the Dayton chamber
first organized industrial lead
ers to investigate the matter,
it was not known what had
caused the federal action.
However, Mr.. Taylor wrote q
letter to Paul Williams, secre-
tary of the special committee,
setting forth his investiga-
tion. The white group is un-
derstood to be studying the
condition closely.
Discriminatory policies of
many factories In the Dayton
area, the attitude OF iinmi-
grant southerners, lack OF ad-
equate housing facilities for
Negroes and the apathy of the
city toward prosecuting
crimes against Negroes were
dealt with Iii the Taylor COM
lnunication, four pages IN
