Mr.. Liveright set up an expert
mental plan in Baltimore for the
sterilization Of employment. The
results of this experiment are
described in the March issue of
"Manpower Review an official
publication of the War ManpoWer
Commission. They show:
l, Piracy of workers in war in
dustries has been almost COM
pletely eliminated.
2. The review machinery set up
by the United States Employment
Service to handle the granting of
releases to employees unable 70
secure them from their employers
has functioned successfully. Less
than five per cent of the cases
brought to the review unit have
been appealed to the local man.
agement-labor committee.
8. Several major companies
have changed their hiring policies
and have increased the number of
opportunities for Negroes. Statis-
tics secured from the % leading
industries show that from May to
September there was a SO per cent
increase in the employment Of
Negroes.
4. Approximately $4,000 women
entered the war employment in
Baltimore between July and
December. Since October, they
have entered the war industries at
the rate of 1000 a week. Employ
ment Of women has increased 81
per cent.
s. Although immigration has
not been entirely eliminated, all
employers in Baltimore are now
clearing through USES before they
do any recruiting, scouting or ad.
vertising outside the city.
6. The overall turnover
problem has been reduced, but
voluntary ''quits" continue at high
rate.

Present and presiding was Earl
DickerSon; with him John Brophy
of the CLIO and Morris Shiskin of
the AFL were the other members
Etheridge, the chairman, was alb
sent as was Milton Webster.
Feeling that the President has
deserted the group in the crisis,
there was nothing for the mem
bers TO do but express their senti-
ment to the man who originated
the idea of the committee.
PREDICT DEATH
With only routine work proceed
ing in the office, no policies estab-
lished no routines established
whereby the committee will be able
to see its way clear to do an eff
fective job, there is little reason to
expect anything except disgust and
diSsentiOn. Some have said this will
be the policy of the powers that be,
to let the committee die a natural
death umnoticed and unheeded.
The recent meeting of leaders"
from all over the country is being
considered more or less a political
gesture to soften the blow. 1t is
felt in high places that nothing
will come of this meeting, no mat
ter what has been promised.
A similar case is pointed out in
Maryland, where about year ago
there was a March on Annapolis. +"
Two thousand Negroes laid their
grievances on the governors door,
step. He promised to "look into
all Of the complaints" Election
time was drawing near and some
excuse had to be made. Since
then, there has been nothing heard
of the committee appointed by the
governor to investigate the charges.
FEPC. is in a similar. spot. No
one seems to know what to do. The
original sponsors have deserted the
group leaving the entire matter in
the hands Of underlings who are
constantly under fire and taking a
severe going over because of their
failure to comprehend the siJua-
ton or attempt to do anything
about 1T.
OF VITAL INTEREST
The FEPC is of vital interest to
every member of a minority group
in the United States and the man.
handling of that organization may
be seen as the handwriting on the
wall as far as liberalism toward
minority groups is concerned.

WOULD BE FINAL STRAW

1t takes no overabundance of i'm
aglnation to sense just how Negro
workers IN many communities
would fare. This bill would be the
proverbial straw that broke the
Gamers back in the case of black
workers, whose struggles against
undemocratic job determinations
are just now beginning to bear a
little fruit.
1t would place just the need
ed power in the hands of local
selective service boards. that
many members of these boards
in Southern rural communities
have long desired. In fact. it
would merely place the govern
ments stamp of approval on
the extra-legal activities along
this line already being pursued
by the p0wers-that-be in many
communities where the man
power pinch is just now being
felt.
Georgia has offered two prime
examples how antiquated laws of

1t happens every year. There's always
a time when it seems like everybody
has cold or nearly everybody. So
it's good time to take every precau-
ton you can. Don't overeat, over
drink, overdo, and above all, dress
warmly. And if cold catches ND with
you with its sniffies, clogged nasal
breathing passages and muscle aches
making you feel miserable, get after
them with old reliable Penetro, the

Consultation with several experts

statute. Maybe it was just more
wishful thinking on the part of the

The fact that Secretary of

ing how quickly he sold the

criminatory b enlightenment

be dashed to earth. The old pat
tern of Negro jobs" would be re-

the old status quo, we would be
far beneath it.
Black men, who know moth
ing whatsoever about tilling
soil, would be relegated to
the farms in line with the pre-
conceived white notion that all
Negroes at one time or another
have picked cotton. Negro
women, who might be trained
as chemists, would end up
cooking and washing dishes, to
laid the war effort" by releas-
ing white women to take fac
tory jobs.
That is why all of our energies,
all OF our pressure, all of our COM
bined political strength must be
brought to bear to defeat the Aus

by prejudiced members of local Sc
lectiye service boards, it would
spell economic suicide.
