Washington (Special)-In far
reaching decision Sunday the War
Labor Board ruled against wage
differentials between Negro and
white workers.
1t has been the practice in the
South and in parts of the North
to pay Negroes doing the same
type of work smaller wage.
WLB said that economic and
political discrimination on account
of race or creed is in line with the
Nazi program"
The board directed the South
port Petroleum Co. of Texas City,
Texas, to give pay increases to Ne
gro employees which will "place
them on a basis of economic par
ity with white workers in the same
classification"
The board added that "to the
credit of the company, this deci-
sion" was accepted by the manage
ment in good faith and spirit.

War Labor Board Orders
Wage Differentials Between
Black and Whites Abolished

Der and president of the University
of North Carolina, said that:
ain this small but significant
case the National War Labor Board
abolishes the classifcations colored
laborer and white laborer and re-
Classics both simply as 1aborers'
with the same rates of pay for all
that classification without discrim-
nation on account of color.
'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 classification"
The company was directed to in
stitute a Reconsideration system
and to grant in each classification
a wage increase of either 5 per cent
or five cents, whichever is higher.
The increases, the board said,
will not bring the rates for the
Southport field above the minimum
bracket prevailing for other fields
in the area.
