FEPC to Hear
st. Louis Race
Bias Cases

ST. LOUIS-Complaints charg-
ing eight st. Louis war industries
with alleged discrimination in hir-
ing and upgrading Negro workers
will be aired when the Presidents
Committee on Fair Employment
Practices holds public hearings on
August 1 and 2, Malcolm Ross, COM
mittee chairman, announced last
week.
Refusal to hire needed and avail
able Negro women war workers
and refusal to upgrade Negro work
ers in jobs utilizing their acquired
skills, will be the principal charges
against seven of the firms. Many of
the complaints have been on file
with FEPC for several months,
Ross announced. The seven COM
panies are Amertorp Corp, Buss-
man Manufacturing Co., Wagner
Electric Corp, Carter Carburetor
Corp, St. Louis Shipbuilding and
Steel Co., Mcdonnell Aircraft Corp,
and the McQuay-Norris Manufac-
turing Co.
Compliments against the eighth
company involved, U. S. Cartridge
Co., charge that they were dis
charged during a cutback in en-
ployment while at the same time
the company retained in its employ
white workers with less seniority.
They also allege that the company
denied reinstatement to Negro
workers solely because Of their
race, while granting reinstatement
to white employees with less senior
ity.
The issues have been set down
for public hearings after attempts
to adjust the charges by informal
negotiation have failed, said Chair
man Ross. An opportunity will be
accorded all parties to present evil
dence on the basis of which the
committee can determine whether
or not Executive Order 9346 has
been violated.
The case against U. S. Cartridge
Company is considered by the COM
mittee to be Of special Importance
because it presents the problem of
minority group workers during cut
backs and inevitably involving the
employment status of minority
groups during rehirings of large
groups of workers.
The hearings will be held in the
U. S. Court and Custom House be-
fore the full membership of FEPC.
Ernest G.. Trimble and Frank D.
Reeves, FEPC staff members, will
serve as counsel for the committee.
Sitting with Malcolm Ross will be
Miss Sara Southall, supervisor of
Employment and Service of the In
ternational Harvester Co.; Milton
P. Webster, international vice
president of the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters; Boris Shish-
kin, economist of the A. F. of L.;
John Brophy, director of Industrial
Union Councils, CLIO; Charles l..
Horn, president of the Federal
Cartridge Co., and Charles H. Hous-
ton, Washington attorney.
Lieut.. Bowman Visits
Ancient Roman Cities
Lieut.. Henry Bowman of the
Tooth Fighter Squadron "some-
where in Italy" in a letter to his
father-in-law, Arthur McWatt, told
of his visit to such old Roman Giles
as Pompeii, Somento. He said
many of the cities are only a mass
of ruins.
Lieut.. Bowman said he had also
visited the Isle of Capri Mount
Vesuvius.

RESOLUTION NO. 80
Whereas, The greatest document
ever written in the history of the
world, the American Declaration of
independence, proclaims that all
men are born free and equal; and
Whereas, The Amalgamated

men of North America was among
the first International Unions affili-

of Labor to admit the colored work

races; and
Whereas, The cOlOred people of
the United States have been splen-
did neighbOrs and patriotic citizens;
and
Whereas, They are shOuldering
their share of the sacrifices in the
great global war that at present is
being waged by nearly all the ma
lions of the world; and
Whereas, From trade union
standpoint the Negroes have con-
tributed as much as any other race
of people toward the welfare of
the working class, as well as the
advancement of the cause of or
ganized labor; and
Whereas, In the present global
war we find the representatives of
many states within our own nation
giving lip service to the cause of
liberty, justice, equality and de-
mocracy, while underlying these
hollow words extolling the brother
hood of man there is a sinister
movement of class and racial in
equality running rampant through
out the nation; and
Whereas, cOlOred citizens, while
they are sacrificing their lives on
all the battlefrOnts of the world, in
many cases are considered as serfs,
having denied to them even the &C
cOmmOdatiOn of hotel reservations
in metropolitan American cities;
and
Whereas, Our International
Union has been exceedingly embar-
raised as a result of the inability
of outstanding cOlOred representa-
tives of our local unions to secure
reasonable hotel accommodations;

Whereas, While this situation is
unavoidable because of the present
method outlined in our Interna-

manner in which a convention city

Whereas, Organized labor must
firmly resolve and sincerely pledge
it's support to the elimination of all
racial and religious intolerance;
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Sixteenth
General Convention of our Inter

First. That the delegates at
tending convention shall have the
right to select the convention city,
as is presently outlined in our In

the International Executive Board

such convention to some other city
where it is discovered that hotel
accommodations for all delegates
cannot be secured on equal terms
irrespective of creed, color or ma

Churchill Halls
FDR'S Election

LONDON, Nov. 8 - (P) -
Prime Minister Churchill said
today the outcome of the US.
presidential election had vast
ly improved" the prospects of
another triple conference, and
that no one could be blamed
for hoping victory would come
in l945.
He spoke at the inaugural of
London's new Lord Mayor, Sir
Frank Alexander, and paid tri-
butte to Gov. Dewey for sports
manShip in defeat.
Now we stand on the TIRES
hold of Germany" the Prime
Minister said" and it will take
the full eXertlons Of the three
great powers, every scrap OF
strength they can give to crush
down the desperate resistance
which we must expect from this
military antagonist at last beat
en- back to his own lair
The victory in the Neither
lands, Churchill said, will very
shortly place the great port Of
Antwerp at the disposal of the
northern flank of the Allied
armies which will presently
move into Germany for the final
struggle"
A new meeting of President
Roosevelt, Marshall Stain and
himself, Churchill declared,
might easily bridge the suffer
ings of mankind and stop the
fearful process Of destruction
which is now ravaging the
earth.

and war workers and avoid an
other false boom like that which
burst in 1929 and a dismal col
lapse like that of 1880 to 1888"
But before this can take
place he emphasized, the coun-
try must get on with the bust
ness of defeating its enemies
quickly. The allies, he said, are
entirely agreed" not to bargain
with the "Nazi conspirators" or
leave them a shred Of open or
secret control of instruments Of
government, or of military pow
err.
Although the President is due
back in the White House tomor-
row, foreign policies and inter-
national security probably will
await another conference with
Churchill and Stain.
Domestically, the administra-
ton program looks ahead to a
demand for well over a mil
lion homes a year for at least
ten years" Such construction
would be privately financed for
the most part, with the govern
ment stepping in where needed.
New highways, parks, thou
sands of new airports, planes
new low-priced cars, hospitals
and health clinics all these
are on the construction charts
for checking the usual job
Slackening after wars.
Other Roosevelt pledges for
the future:
l - A merchant marine big
enough TO meet expanded world
trade.
2 - Easier business taxes to
spur industrial development.
3 - Special capital and cred
