cally every major football cham
pionship. He has led his boys to
SIAA, STAG, and National Champ
ionships. But it was the FAMCEE
teams that brought most laurels to
the lap Of the good -natured Bell.
While at the Florida institution,
his aggregations garnered four
STAG titles and laid claim to three
mythical national crowns.
Bells extensive athletic expert
ence and ability will be used in
the important physical training
program at the Tuskegee air base.
Instead of training men for myth
cal championships, the former grid
star and coach will aid in getting
the men who fly in good physical
condition for combat. This he is
doing in an effort to do his part
towards striking death blows at the

Shipyard Workers
Are Badly Needed
For West Coast

Many men between the ages of l6
and 50, are needed for work at the
Puget Sound Navy Yard in Bremen
ton, Washington, and at the Mare
Island Navy Yard in Vallejo, Cali
fornia. For majority of these
jobs, no experience of any kind is
needed. Applicants must simply be
able to read and write and be ply
sically able to perform an 8-hour
days work. The minimum salary at
Puget Sound is 88c an hour for 40
hours and time and one-half for
overtime. All men at this yard are
now working 48 hours and being
paid for SO hours. Therefore a man
working at 88c an hour would earn
$4576 a week. Workers are paid
twice a month.
The Government will provide all
those selected with free transpor-
tation by bus from their homes to
the yard at which they will work.
The worker gets this free and does
not have to pay it back.
Those selected will be given an
immediate appointment. They will
be required to sign a siX-month
contract Men between the ages of
171a and 38 who are in Al and in
ga without children will not be
considered for the unskilled jobs.
They will, however, be considered
for the many skilled jobs that are
open: electrician, machiniSt, pipe
filter, boilermaker, painter, rigger,
sheetmetal worker, and electric
welder. These skilled men will be
paid $114 an hour for 40 hours and
time and one-half for overtime.
Applications will be accepted im-
mediately in Room 400 at the New
Post Office Building in Atlanta,
or those selected will be appointed
without any red tape or delay.

in New York. This hearing and
the one IN Detroit were agreed up
on by the FEPC as long ago as
April 10.
Because Brophy would not have
been able to spend much time at
the hearing, the two Negro men,
bers. Earl Dickerson and Milton
p. Webster, have had to conduct
the proceedings. It was the general
feeling that to have this happen
would not have been the most de-
sirable arrangement, considering
the fact that this is Washington
the subject is racial discrimination
and plenty hot.
The committee therefore agreed
to a 48 hour postponement and
adjourned at about half past three.
An hour later they were called
back by Cramer who announced to
them that new chairman had
been appointed, and that the White
House had requested a further
postponement of all hearings to
permit the reorganization to be
effected. The committee acquiesced,
and the formal announcement of
this decision came through about
five o'clock
MeNUTT ASSURES PRESS
Paul v. McNutt, War Manpower

postponing the hearing was known
to him several hours, or perhaps
days, before the actual decision
was announced, although the an

him. Marvin Mcintyre, White House
secretary, is understood to have
passed the word along to the
committee. McNutt had no COM

he was asked whether or not there
would be another postponement.

BACKGROUND LAID

These are substantial the facts
of the events leading up to the
climax involving this nations fight
against discrimination in industry:
On Thursday, May Is, con-
ference was held in the Office of
RAINY B. Deschner, area director
for War Manpower commission, for
the purpose of working out certain
details in connection with the
hearing on Capital Transit. Among
those present besides Mr.. Desch-
ner were Lawrence Cramer and
George NJ. Johnson, executive secre-
tary and assistant secretary, re-
spectively, of FEPC; Leo Wertz,
regional director; E. d. Merrill,
president of the company; and j.
D. Bigelowe, president of the Anal
gamated Street and Railway EN-
ployes association, the union has
organized Capital Transit work
erS.
The meeting was called by Wertz
with the idea in mind Of perSuad-
ing the committee to abondon
the hearing through an acceptable
arrangement. According to one
informant, the session was a
'knock-down and drag out" meet
ing.

UNION is BLAMED

Merrill is supposed to have made
1t clear that he wanted the hear
ing to come off. 1t was then that
he revealed the defense that the
company planned to put in, a de-
Tense which is reliably understood
to have shaken the committee and
caused the lengthy meeting that
developed on Monday.
Merrill revealed that when he
had done all that he could to
comply with the committees di-
receive to employ Negroes, he in
formed Cramer that the union had
been unwilling to complete the
training of Bernard Simmons, the
first one accepted Cramer told him
to sit tight until he heard from
the committee. Merrill intended to
enter the defense that to this
Gay, he has not heard from the
committee as to what move he
should make.
From an unimpeachable source
1t is learned that not until the
Monday preceding the day of the
scheduled hearing did Cramer in
form the committee of this situa-
ton. For five hours three members
OF the committee argued over the
problem. John Brophy, the CLIP
representative, was absent, having
been engaged at the War Labor
board in connection with the dis
pute of the coal miners.

At this meeting it was also an

District Health Department figures

The figure exceeds a nine-year rec

no deaths. Last year only one case
had been reported to date Five
cases were reported during 1912, but
