and those who, with labor. have
faith in Americas ability To pro-
duce and its ability TO employ, To-
increase and intensity our efforts.
We have demonstrated in the past
decade. and before. that the will of
the people CAN prevail against
even overwhelming odds. We are
relying on all our members for their
about support and among them
our Negro members. many of whom
are in the leadership Of the fight
More than that. we are relying
on the efforts Of all people OF good
will, of all professions and occupa-
tons and of all races and creeds,
for il is their fight too.
And if we don't have full en-
ployment. then what?
The majority OF Negroes - and.
incidentally, women of both races
will be laid Oft first because they
were hired last.
There will be only one check on
this process. Those Negroes who
have acquired enough seniority,
dating back TO the pre-war era,
will be able 10 hold their jobs on
the basis Of their seniority. This Is
a small group. in proportion 10 the
total number OF Negro workers. but
we may be sure il is larger group
than would otherwise hold thei'
jobs, if they were not protected by
the union and its seniority system.
Admittedly this is woefully I'M
satisfactory and defeatist solution
to the problem. But we must face
the fact that the climate where race
prejudice and discrimination flour
ishcs best is that created by an
economy Of scarcity where compe-
tition for available work is keenest.
When jobs are scarce, the temp
tation is great on the part both Of
employers and white employees to
forget the truths they have learned
about Negro workers during a per-
iod such as the one we are now i'm
and To- fall back on the old steieO-
typcs--in order To- narrow the field
Of competition.
That situation. in its most in
tense form. will even invite a
MA administration Of seniority; il
could result in destruction OF the
seniority system That would mean
return To the chaos OF the pre-
UNION era, because in our indus
try. il yoa abolish seniority, you
| abolish the union.
Our immediate task is TO combat
these dangers.
We can combat them by two
methods. First, the establishment
OF permanent Fair Employment
Practice Commission by the Gov.
eminent 10 PREVENT the resump.
ton or continuance of discrimina.
ton at the employment office-anc
subsequent 10 employment
And second. we can demand thai
employers broaden and liberalizs
the seniority provisions OF existing
contracts so that workers who have
established seniority in ONE plan
of a corporation may claim senior
ity, or at least PREFERENCE IL
hiring, at ANOTHER plant OF tho
same corporation no matter where
such plant is located.
Hend in hand with each Of these
should be included a contractua
provision prohibiting management
from discriminating and a firm in
sistence by the union on observance

ON THE SPOT

The Mayor has received report from the Di-
rector of the Housing Commission which says, in
effect, that under the present policy of keeping in
violate the racial characteristics of neighborhoOds
no new housing which would be available to Negro
citizens be built in the city of Detroit In short
the racist policy has led the housing boys up blind
alley The Mayor declares he has no recOmmen-
datons on this point Nevertheless, to resolve the
dilemma, the Mayor has suggested general con-
ference on the housing muddle which will be held,
according to press reports, the middle of January
1t appears that the Mayor and most of h
Councilmen are torn between two considerations
In the first place the Mayor and the Councilmen
know that the housing shortage is critical and that
this condition contributes to unrest and tensions
which affect the whole community. In the second
place, the Mayor and the Councmen have COM
mitted themselves to a racist policy for political
reasons and they are in mood to risk their polit
cal necks by adopting a course which the majority
of Detroters may not approve. This is the housing
story in a nutshell
While our city officials writhe on this political
hot spot, the housing problem daily grows worse
and the unhoused population becomes more insistent
on solution to their problem Returning veterans
and continuous stream of immigrant war workers
are piling their applications for housing on top of
the thousands Of applications which have gathered
dust in the files Of the Housing Commission for
eral years. The returning veterans feel this con-
dtion more keenly because they believe their sacri-
fices in this great war entitle them to ser ious
consideration.
1t is impossible to describe the tremendous emo
tional impact this housing shortage has made on
the great army of homeless souls who are living on
top Of one another in the Negro ghettos of Detroit

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

NEW IEAh > hLSOLt lioNS
With the coming OF 1945, there
are many things we must rethink
II we are 10 continue to make prog
ress in this evolving democracy Of
ours. We noticed great deal OF
in the nature OF the
for Negroes in l944.
We witnessed some political ad-
vances in 1914 We are heartened
by the way in which our young
people are grasping increasing OPP
portunities 10 fit themselves for
the task in making democracy
function for all the people.
We must resolve however. that
we will permit no opportunity to
60 by TO improve our personal fit
ness for the industrial advance
ment we have made. There has
been q great deal OF discussion in
1914 by all manner Of social agen-
cies and employment agencies
about the CONDUCT Of Negro work
ers in our factories and In public
places generally. There has not
been very much open discussion
about the subject. Maybe II has
been good that in 1914 we have
kept our discussions about II pri-
vate and certainly have not made
the whole matter public. II Is evil
dent, however, that we can no
longer dodge the issue. We must
resolve to face the problem Of the
conduct Of Negro workers. We
must face II realistically. however,
and here Is where the rub will
come-facing the problem realisti-
cally.
First. let us resolve 10 look al
the facts The facts are these IN
general terms. There are so per-
cent more fights in factories en-
ploying a 100 or more Negroes and
these fights are between Negroes
than among all other workers
There are more skirmishes on the
street cars between Negroes than
between Negroes and other racial
groups. We must be careful 10 pu,
the Interpretation for this first. but
in doing so we must not overlook
the fact that the problem must be
met and dealt with in the nature
of the problem.
One only has 10 look very super
RciaIIy at the fights between Ne
groes In our large plants to dis
cover the reason. Negroes have q
great deal Of hostility built up by
the oppression and Discrimination
that have been practiced against
them. A great many Of us Negroes
are not sufficiently trained to deal
with this great barrier Of race dis.
elimination which cuts the soul
out Of q man. so the hostility en-
rendered by race discrimination Is
turned upon members Of ones own
race. and neighbors. A great ,any
Of our people are not accustomed

SO they display their hostility Ia

by getting into quarrels with one
another over the most trivial
things. Nine times out Of ten. the
seen affair over which the cutting
the argument. and sometimes kill.
ing takes place Is not the real
basis Of the argument at all. The
real basis OF the argument too
many times rests In q sense OF

worker has been denied his right

know that this denial has caused
