Union Head Sees
Permanent FEPC

New York City QLNS). = Citing
the assertion by Leo Cherne, in his
book, "The Rest of Your Life" that
Increased tension, discrimination and
intolerance are inevitable in post
war America suffering from unem-
ployment," A. Philip Randolph, presi-
dent Of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters, ,AFL, declares that a
permanent Fair Employment Practice
Commission is "the only legislation
which can sharply decrease race con-
fiict when reconversion gets under
way" Randolph's statement is con-
tanned in letter to the Workers De-
fense League Bulletin.
Randolph declares believers in fair
play for racial minorities can pass
the permanent FEPC bill by insist
ing on approval of the bill in Con-
gress. He urges the following action:
1-Wire or write your two Sena
tors and Representatives, urging
them to support the bill without
amendment as to coyerage and en-
forcement.
2-Secure similar action from your
church, union, lodge, social club-and
your friends and neighbors, too.

are administered.
In many states variety of devices
have been developed to keep people
from obtaining their unemployment
benefits. For example, workers have
been required to accept lower wages
than they have been receiving or fore
go their benefit rights. If they move
to another state in search of jobs for
which they are fitted, they may also
lose their benefits. In one state, West
Virginia, this has already happened
The court has decided that worker
who will not accept job in that state
cannot draw benefits for which taxes
have been paid. This decision, in ef-
feet, ties workers in West Virginia to
the West Virginia labor market.
These practices of state admins
trations have increased the solvency
of state unemployment insurance
funds at the expense of the workers.
They have not, however, fulfilled the
purposes of the Social Security Act.
Unemployment insurance syst m S
were not established to maintain SOL
vent funds, but to provide benefits
for the unemployed. In the event OF
great postwar unemployment, there
will be strong tendency to employ
these and many other practices to
maintain the solvency of the funds.
Where the state governments involved
are controlled by administrators with
a States Rights philosophy, this ten
dency will be extremely strong. These
administrators fear that if the funds
become insolvent, a national unem-
ployment insurance system will be
adopted.
These tendencies are not new. There
is brand of American conservatism
which goes on record for the extern
sion of the coverage and the benefits
of all kinds of social security legis-
lation and, by dishonest or weak ad
ministration, prevents this legislation
from having it's intended effects.
More serious than the denial of
benefit rights is the tendency to use
our unemployment insurance systems
to force down wages. If there is
heavy postwar unemployment, will
it not prove very effective to threaten
a man with loss of unemployment in
surance benefits if he will not take
a lower paid job? 1t is being done
now. Labor must start Immediately
to prevent the administrative prac-
tices which lead to this wage cutting.
If labor falls asleep at the post, it
may soon find that the Social Secur-
ity system has become great
to lower wages after the
war

Industry In Good Position
"The merchant marine is in a far
better position than other industries
ashore to promise continued employ
ment for merchant seamen."
War Manpower Commission Chair
man McNutt indicated that much Of
the job of recruiting manpower would
have to be accomplished within the
industry itself, by the unions and ship
operators, and by the Recruitment
and Manning Organization Of War
Shipping Administration who had
been given mandates by both Selec-
tive Service and VINO to control the
entry and exit of merchant seamen
from the industry.
Admiral Land emphasized that "the
shortening of the war now depends
to very great extent upon the mer-
chant marine, and our ability to keep
ships sailing with cargoes for the
battlefronts."
Right Program Endorsed
General proposals agreed upon by
both unions and operators were:
Freer exchange of information con-
cerning manpower between unions,
operators and the RMO; special
measures to induce experienced sea-
men to stay aboard their ships at the
Christmas holiday season, and the
active support by both unions and
ship operators of a merchant sea-

AS we stated previously, the Mid

and each Of the cities represented
was usually the friendly rival of
one or more OF the other clubs
that made up the roster OF the

go TO right or left, was a CLASSY
fielder, and in batting practice
took a healthy cut at the horse
hide that made the Colt skipper
1ubilant. But Byrnes was not count

Just prior 10 opening the league

School Head


DIR. Robert II. Haskell, super
intendent Of the Wayne County
Training School, apparently was
victor today in his controversy
with the board of auditors over
control of maintenance employees
at the school.
At a meeting Of the schools
board of administrators yester-
day, Auditor Cornell indicated
willingness to abide by a prose-
cutor's opinion that authority
over maintenance employees rested
with the administrative board,
despite a supervisors ordinance
in 1912 which attempted to trans
fer such authority to the auditors.
The controversy arose last week
when DR.. Haskell refused to
approve a returned veteran for a
Job at the institution.
The auditors at first announced
that they would hold up DR..
Haskel's pay until he agreed to
place the veteran on the pay roll.
