gowns and hoods, the academic

and marched across the campus to
the church. To add tone and color
and form a beautiful background
for the occasion the church was
beautifully decorated with flowers
of many types.
President Judson L. Cross pre-
sided and introduced the speaker of

National War Labor Board
Issues Ruling Againts Wage
Classification OF All Races
Opinion Given In Petroleum
Company's Case

The National War Labor Board
today unanimously ruled that wage
classifications based solely on diff
ference in race were without valid
ity, and ordered the abolition of
pay differentials between white
and Negro workers performing
equal work.
The board directed the Southport
Petroleum Company of Texas City,
Texas, to grant wage increases to
its Negro employees which would
place them on basis of economic
parity with the white workers in
the same classification"
In a far-reaching opinion, DR..
Frank P. Graham, public member
Of the board and president of the
University of North Carolina. ex-
planned the boards decision. Dean
Wayne L. Morse, public member,
who did not participate in the de-
cision on this case, asked special
permission to be recorded as con-
curing in DR.. Graham's opinion.
The text of the opinion follows:
Opinion
In this small but significant case
the National War Labor Board
abolishes the classification "colored
laborer" and white laborer" and
reclassifies both simply as labor
ers'' with the same rate of pay for
all in that classification without
discrimination on account of color.
The Negro workers in this classi-
fication are hereby granted wage
increases which place them on a
basis of economic parity with the
white workers in the same classifi-
cation. This wage increase is made
without regard to the Little Steel'
formula, but with regard simply for
the democratic formula of equal
pay for work equal in quantity
and quality in the same classifica-
ton. This equalization of economic
opportunity is not a violation of the
sound American provision of diff
ferentials in pay for differences in
skills. 1t is rather bit of realiza-
ton of the no less sound American
principle of equal pay for equal
work as one of those equal rights
in the promise of American democ-
racy regardless of color, race, sex,
religion, or national origin.
The unanimous decision is in
line with the Presidents executive
order 1902; with the general policy
of the board, with the unions re-
quest, with the recommendation of
the referee, DR.. Thomas ]. Regusa;
with the unanimous recommended
ton of the review committee COM
posed of representative of labor,
industry, and the public; with pro-
phetic Americanism; and with the
cause of theh United Nations. To
the credit of the company this de-
cision, along with other decisions
in the case, is accepted by manage
ment in good faith and spirit.
The board directed the company
to institute reclassification sys-
tenn and to grant in each classifi-
cation a wage increase of either 5
per cent or 4 per cent, whichever
is higher. These increases will not
bring the rates at the Southport
field above the minimum of the
wage bracket in the prevailing
range of rates for other oil fields
in the area.
The company's employees are
represented by the Oil Workers
International (CIO).
