Men Who Desert
Vital War Jobs
Face Induction

Men who have left essential war
jobs for other pursuits were warn
ed by selective service officials
yesterday that they face a swap
from overalls to army drab.
This warning came as Mont
gomery county draft officials re-
ceived the biggest quotas in months
for December and January. Many
from the 26-to-30 age group will be
called as the 18-to-26 group is not
large enough to meet the new de-
mands
"Some seem to think that the
last battle has been fought" said
one official "It has not, nor is
there any immediate prospect of
that desirable fact.
"We want especially to impress
that upon those, many with occupa-
tional deferments who left critical
war jobs for something they may
consider more permanent but
makes little or no contribution to
victory"
Maj. Edward T. Fogo, liaison Of
ficer of the state selective service
office, told local board members
that the increased demand resulted
from miscalculation on the length
of the European conflict, and be-
cause of increasing casualties, es-
pecially in the Pacific.
1t was also reported that men
less than 26 in the 42-A special de-
ferment class for occupational rea-
sons will not be deferred again ex-
cept in the most critical cases.
The December and January
quotas have been received here.
They cannot be made public, but
they are considerably over the num-
Der taken the last few months.

LIBERAL AFL LEADERS SEE
.FEp( As VITAL WEAPON
AGAINST RA(I5M

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20 (ANP)
"A three-way attack against rae
ism last week spearheaded three
AFL leaders efforts to put the
AFL on record of favoring the es-
tablishment of a permanent FEPC.
Leading the attack against anti
Semitism and anti-Negroism were
A. Philip Randolph, president of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, Richard w. Smith, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Joint Council
of Dining Car Employees and Louis
P. Marciente, white, president Of
the New Jersey State Federation of
Labor. Each presented resolutions
to be adopted by the convention.
While the contents of Randolph's
resolution were undisclosed, it is re-
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1944-11-29

and was called the strangest of it's
type ever presented to the AFL.
The resolution asked: Resolved:
That we call for the enactment of
federal legislation as wartime
measure and as postwar measure,
which will make organized discrimi-
nation, such as anti-Semitism,
criminal offense punishable by i'm
prisonment. We believe that such
law is essential for the preservation
of our great democratic principles
and for the protection of Americans,
regardless of race, color, religion or
national origin and for the ultimate
protection of the trade union move
ment ITSELF

ported it will receive favorable con-
sideration from the resolution COM
mittee. He was appointed to the or
ganizing committee by President
Green.
Smith urged the AFL to combat
racism as means of self-preserva-
ton. Beyond a reasonable doubt"
Smith warned, "the average Negro
worker is pro-CIO in his sentiments.
Because of this I am certain that
in the organization of workers in
war plants, the AFL lost out on
several occasions because of pro-
CIO sentiment of Negro workers
who probably hold the balance of
power in the voting"
AFL unions have suffered by
racial discrimination, Smith showed
by pointing to two notable points:
l. "In NRLB elections, many
plants and members for the AFL
have been lost because of the dis
elimination issue and Negroes have
voted with forces opposing the AFL
on this ground alone.
2. "a large number of estab-
lished AFL local unions have been
wiped out of plants and shops be-
cause of discrimination by some
unions Of the AFL where the Negro
vote was so influential that is could
swing the election"
In supporting permanent FEPC,
the passage Of the anti-poll tax bill
and anti-lynching bill, Smith said
these trends and tendencies will
continue in the post war period un-
less checked by a more vigorous and
liberal stand by the AFL on the Ne
gro question:
Marciente's resolution made or
ganized anti-Semitism federal Of
fense punishable by Imprisonment

DRUNK M0T0RMAN
WAVES GUN; COOLER
HEADS THWART RIOT

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20 (ANP)-The
alertness and wisdom of several
Negro passengers, riding the Ho-
diamont Street car here, prevented
what might have been another seri-
Gus race riot in this section last Sat
urday afternoon, when the motor
man of the car, who was apparently
drunk, brandished a pistol in the
faces of three Negroes aboard the
car.
When the passengers entered the
car at Beaumont and Washington
avenues the white motorman, Will
lie Wilson, started the car in such a
high speed that almost threw them
from their feet This erking and
jolting operation of the car con-
tinued and when the three persons
were again nearly thrown from
their balance while waiting to make
their exit at 18th street, one of the
three passengers was so aroused
that he yelled out to the motorman,
why don't you be more careful how
you run this carr"
Without warning the motorman
was reported to have swung around
and pointed a revolver at the pas
sengers and gruffly shouted: What
in the hell are you going to do about
it?"
After leaving the car the passen-
gers reported their embarrassment
to David Grant, attorney for the
local unit of the March on Wash
ington Movement and to Commits
sioner Meisner of the st. Louis
Police Board. Grant and Meisner
Immediately contacted the Public
Service Street Car company and as
a result Motorman Wilson was ar
rested and booked to appear in
Police court to answer a peace dis
turbance charge and has been di-
vested of his job.
