Plea For Workers
Made ByUnionH Head

Railway employment discrimina-
ton. Townsend pointed out, takes
its toll in lives, poor schedules and
bottlenecks in transporting war ma
terials. The attitude of southern
railroads indicates they are more
determined 10 cling to racial dis
elimination than to win the war. he
said.
While the l6 southern railroads
are resting their case on the So
called Railway Labor act, an act Of
congress which provides for the dis
posing Of matters relating to con-
ditions Of employment and wages.
the colored railroad worker must
find way to extricate himself from
the bred Scott status which the Su-
preme court ruling made possible.
Referring to the real enemies Of
fair employment practices and full
utilization of Negro manpower,
Townsend recalled how Congress
man Howard w. Smith of Virginia
broke into print by publicly chal-
longing the constitutional powers
OF the FEPC. The pertinent ques-
ton facing Am erica today is
whether the Fair Employment Prac-
tice committee will provide the in
strumentality in breaking this VIZ
cious employment practice Of racial
discrimination, he said,
