Casmer, police said, noticed
Ebert following the waitress into
the kitchen. Casmer, who knew
the two had been quarreling, fol-
lowed. He arrived too late TO
keep Ebert from plunging the
ice pick into Miss Spencer's body

Police said Ebert was so
aroused that CaSmer. who stands
six feet tall and weighs 235 lbs,
had TO knock him down four
times. Casmer and an unidenti-

hands as they tried TO wrest the
ice pick from Ebert, who weighs

said. When several shouted for

Negroes Now Hold $40 Of War Jobs
In Nation, Manpower Board Reveals

which large number were women
on production jobs.
A survey OF Baltimore showed an
increased use of Negroes in war in
dustries and a greater diversity of
occupation. The most important
plants increased their Negro en-
ployment approximately 700 per
cent during 1912 Negroes are being
used in skilled and semi-skilled
jobs in shipbuilding. aircraft, cleo
trical machinery and ordnance.
Large numbers of Negro women are
being used in most Of these indus
tries.
The Hampton Roads, Va, area,
one of the first 10 employ Negroes
in war work, continued 10 make
progress in the utilization OF Negro
labor, VINO officials said In Feb
ruary, 1943, four government es-
adjustments and the largest private
contractor employed 1900 Negroes
OF whom 1000 were skilled and
1000 semi-skilled.
Net only discriminatory practices
are responsible for the failure OF
some war industries to employ Ne
groes in proportionate numbers.
The fact that relatively few Ne
groes have had industrial expert
ence. and even fewer have had
either training or experience in
skilled occupations. hampers their
employment as we'll. Employment
OF large additional numbers OF Ne
groes in industrial jobs calls for an
extensive training program. This is
necessity, VINO officials said,
whether additional Negroes for
war industries are transferred from
other activities TO war industries or
are persons newly entering the la
Dor market.
AS a consequence OF this fact.
officials said, increasing numbers OF
Negroes are receiving training for
jobs in shipbuilding, aircraft manu-
featuring and munitions industries.
On March 81, l943, non-white en-
rollments in pre-cmployment train

ing for war workers program were
twice rs great as year ago.

Office of education statistics indi-
cate that Negroes are enrolling in
different courses this year than last
year. Whereas approximately one
third OF the non-whitcs enrolled in
pre-employment courses between
July. 1912, and March. l943, were
attending aircraft and shipbuilding
classes, only one-fifth were enrolled
in these courses during these months
in l94l-42 On the other hand, only
four per cent OF these non-white
trainecs we're enrolled in automobile
mechanic and foundry classes in
1928 as compared with more
than 20 per cent during the pre-
vious year.

The number Of non-white youths

Although il was pointed out, the

In Farm Areas
The Negro labor force. VINO OFF,
Gals stated. is concentrated in that
part Of the country where rela-
lively small proportion Of war con-
tracts are being executed. Those
areas and large proportion OF the
Negro working force in them are
engaged in essential agriculture.
Two-thirds Of the country's Negro
labor supply is confined TO ID
southern states. whereas. only 1875
per cent Of total war contracts have
been awarded in those states. Even
in some areas OF concentrated Ne
gro population where war con-
tracts have created a stringent Ia
Dor market. utilization OF the local
supply Of Negro workers is impeded
by employers. union and worker
prejudice. Where Negroes are free
~ employed, they are generally
engaged only in the lower classffi-
cation OF skills and have relatively
little opportunity for upgrading.
Progress in Negro employment
varies widely throughout areas of
the country, VINO officials said.
Mobile, Ala, which year ago was
an outstanding example of under
utilization of Negro labor shows
considerable improvement although
many available Negro workers are
not employed. Negroes comprise
nearly two-fifths OF the labor force
in that city but only one-fi!th OF
war industry employment. Some OF
the most important firms, officials
said. which formerly employed few
or no Negroes now use them in
considerable numbers.
Los Angeles Moves Ahead

great strides in the employment Of
Negroes Non-white employment in
ll8 major firms engaged in the
manufacture OF war necessities in
creased almost four-fold from May
TO December 1912, while total en-
ployment grew about so per cent.
In May, Negroes made up only IL
per cent Of the total in aircraft.
They increased from 1912 in May
to more than 5000 in December. OF

WASHINGTON. - A SLOW
but steady increase in the use
OF Negro workers in war
plants throughout the coun-
try Is shown in figures re-
leased by the War Manpower Com
mission this week.
Negroes comprised SD per cent
OF the II million workers employed
in establishments reporting to the
u, s. Employment Service in July,
1912. BY March l943, 937 600 nom
whites were employed in 5000
establishments, representing 81 per
cent OF the 1853. 900 workers in
those establishments. Month IA
month changes showed a steady in
crease in the number and proper
ton OF Negroes employed.
While more Negroes have been
employed in nearly all war indus
tries. the increase has been uneven
slight in some instances and mark
ed in others. The number OF Ne
groes at work in tank factories
more than doubled during the per-
iod reported. while total employ
ment in that industry increased only
3l.3 per cent.
Big Aircraft Increase
In the aircraft industry Negro
employment increased 96l per cent
in comparison TO a total employ
ment increase OF 354 per cent.
Two and one-third per cent more
Negroes were making motor We
hicles in November, 1912. than IN
May OF that year, though total
employment in the industry in
creased only 86 per cent.
In shipbuilding. Negro employ
ment increased 62.8 per cent be-
tween May, 1912. and November
1912. In spite OF this increase, war
msnpower officials pointed out, the
extent OF Negro employment varies
widely from industry 10 industry
