suited in the reference Of IS new
workers TO this plant.
!. Quite generally there continues to
be an acute shortage Of male heavy
labor, while in New London the de-
mand Is greatest for welders, mach
inists, sheet metal workers and cleo
tricians. Many employers are still
recruiting In the New York area,
but this labor pool has also become
less productive Of disable workers.
waterbury Area
The demand for male workers
capable of performing laborious
tasks In mills, casting shops and
foundries increase daily. The labor
market in this Area continues tight
for all types Of labor. With the re-
turn of hundreds Of workers to the
school rooms (both students and
teachers industry and locally
needed" services again feel the
pinch Of lack Of manpower.
There were fewer new entries to
the labor market during the past
month than for the previous month.
Immigrants continued at about the
the same rate as pervious months,
coming from unclassifled or No. 4
areas. An attempt was made to Sc
cure heavy labor through pooled in
terviews in New York City with but
little success. Plans for an intensive
recruitment under the auspices Of
the War Manpower Commission
were given approval, and the re-
cruitment itself will start on ap-
proximately September s. This re-
cruitment Is resigned TO attract the
workers from essential indus
tries as we'll as those who are not
In the labor market at the present
time. It will be carried on through
the media Of advertising, radio, etc.
Very few violations of the EN-
ployment Sterilization Plan occurred
during the past month, and In prac-
tically all instances adherence to
the procedure outlined in the Plan
was made after contact with the
violators. The turnover continued
to remain on a level with that Of
the last three months. The number
Of appeals handled have not in
creased.
Recruitment efforts In the field Of
heavy labor centered around hous-
ing. and during the past month
program was approved for a number
of new units as we'll as the erection
Of barracks. Units originally APP
proved several months ago will be
ready for occupancy some time dur
ing the month Of September. Con-
versions are under way although
none have been completed TO date,

GubernatOrial Candidate Winning Support
on white Supremacy" Platform; Indust-
rialist Would Force Negro to Work Full
Time or Go To Jail.-----

JACKSON, MSS, July 10 lamp
Race feeling in Mississippi Is be
ng heightened by the stump speak
ing Of Mike Conner, who is rally
ing statewide support to his cam
paign for governor by his white
supremacy and anttNegro plat
form and by the failure Of many
Negroes. now getting the highest
wages in their lives, to work any
more days weekly than is necess-
airy for them to earn enough mon
ey to live on.
Some whites, who believe that
the army does not want more Ne
gro soldiers and that the whites
are being indicted in greater num-
bers to fill the states quota, have
voiced fears for the "canctity Of
white womanhood' If Negroes re-
main at home and at the same time
refused to work full time. Efforts
have been made to enforce a state
wide anti-vagrancy law and have
the governor issue a work or
fight proclamation forcing every
body to work full time or 90 to
jail.
The campaign of Conner, An ex-
Governor, has won the support Of
many newspapers. Describing his
contemplated program the Wayne
County News said in a recent co.
itorial:
He stands squarely for 4a.te
81 premacy at the polls and ~
