This week We again offer our
congratulations to those young
high school graduates. This time
it is Glenn Pullens of South High,
Teddy Vaughn of the same school
and Earl Bowman of Central High.
These young men have reached the
pinnacle of their young football
careers by being selected members
of the all-city high school confer
ence of Minneapolis, quite an
honor and an honor that should
make our people proud of their
boys.
Of these boys, Pullens was the
only one to place on the first eleven,
getting his favorite halfback spot.
His running mate, Vaughn, was
chosen for the fullback spot on the
second team. Bowman likewise
was chosen on the second team .
when we write and speak of these
young boys the thought runs
through our mind as to what the
future holds for them as far as
their gridiron careers are con-
cerned.
A few years ago it seems as
though Minnesota had certain play
ers whom we wrote much of. Gone
are such sterling players as Dwight
Reed, Horace Bell, Ellsworth Har-
pole. Yes and before that good
old Bobby Marshall and don't for

one thing to say: if you are going

The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1944-02-16

ployment opportunities for Ne
groes in Seattle look bad unless
there are a number of changes
made in present policies and
practices.
Most of the colored and white
labor that has migrated here for
war employment will remain here
after the war because Seattle is
a more attractive place to live
than the average American city
Many of them came long dis
tances and will find it difficult
expensive, and inconvenient to
return to their former communi-
ties.
Whereas there is a rosy future
for aeronautics, there must be a
reduction of personnel in this
field after the war.
According to a recent report of
the Senate on postwar produc-
ton the postwar period cannot
sustain a shipbuilding boom.
This means a possible drastic
curtailment of shipbuilding in
this area and a sharp reduction
in personnel needed to maintain
those firms that will continue in
business.
This means Seattle is faced
with the danger of large
stranded population on it's hands
if steps aren't instituted to pro-
vide adequate employment read
justment.
The Negro is faced with sew
eral additional problems that
may make it difficult for him
to be reasonably adjusted.
Aside from several large ship
building and aeronautic estab-
lishments and a few miscellane-
GUS war plants in Seattle, Ne
groes have had few opportuni-
ties to qualify for employment
in types of jobs they are now
following in war industry.
There have been few oppor-
in the department stores
and telephone and transit com
panies and other types of bust
ness that are needed during time
of war as well as peace.
In addition to this, the ma
iority of Negro labor employed
in shipbuilding and aeronautics
are barred by the unions in the
plants from belonging to the
lnion as full participating mem
oers with all the rights, privi-
eyes, benefits and protection.
They are employed under
work permit plan, re-
month to month with
title hope or possibility of re-
naming in employment in these

bilities.

! bilities.
Good sound industrial relations
practices can meet many of the
problems so management has its
task well outlined for it.
The restrictive policies of GER
tain labor unions as before out
lined must be removed if we ex-
pect to have fair postwar en-
ployment opportunity.
Retaining opportunities must
be fully open at all times to
all persons who wish to qualify.
Negro labor also has a big
responsibility. He must do
good job and continue to do a
good job if he expects his serv-
ices to be appreciated. He must
also continue to save the money
he is now earning so it can tide
him over unemployment when a
lay-off comes.
That reminds me, Mr.. Johnson,
just what does the Negro ex-
pect?
That is very easily answered,
Mr. Shorter:
The Negro is not seeking toll
erance as is usually supposed,
but wants respect instead. re-
spect for those who deserve re-
spect, respect for Negroes as
citizens ready and will
ing to assume all the obligations
Of citizenship, unwilling to ask
FOR special fayors, but eager for
equal responsibilities.
You have just heard an inter-
view with Reginald A. Johnson,

Urban League in Seattle.

plants after the war.

plants after the war.
This means that prorated on a
population basis, there is grave
danger there will be very few
Negroes retained in many of the
firms if present labor union prac-
tees are permitted to remain.
This all adds up to an I'M
pleasant employment future for
Negro labor in Seattle after the
war.
What can We do about this
situation?
And in particular what can
the white friends of Negroes do
to provide a happier solution to
the gloomy picture you paint?
The Seattle Urban League has
a tremendous task ahead of it
to work for reasonable and ade-
quate employment readjustment
of its colored population.
But it cannot do the entire
job alone.
Labor in all plants should re-
alize our fight for victory abroad
should be backed up by victory
for the home front.
If we expect to exterminate
we must clean our own
house by not denying opportun-
ty to loyal American citizens of
Ill races and religions the right
20 work for a decent living.
This means labor, individually |
md collectively must lend its

unity for Negro labor.

the next great step in human
progress must be taken by a
united mankind in which privil-
eyes and responsibilities will rest
equally upon the whole human
family regardless of race or of
creed or of color.
Mr.. Wallace, in this writer's
opinion, hasn't a chance to get
the presidential nomination of
his party. He is too liberal and
too outspoken in the interests of
the common man to fit into the
philosophy of the southern demo-
crats-the rascals who actually
control the destiny of the demo-
cratic party, and Will In all likli-
hood find himself behind the po-
litical eight-ball at Chicago. The
south must be appeased, and
Wallace is the lamb for the sac
rifice. In fact, the handwriting
is already on the wall.
Mr. Willkie, if nominated by
the Republican party has a So
SO chance to win since President
Roosevelt is pretty sure to be
the Democratic nominee, and
while the New Deal program has
many excellencies and the Presi-
dent every necessary qualifica-
ton the opinion is gaining mo-
mentum throughout the country
that Roosevelt has already been
President long enough.

What is your opinion of en-

There has been increased OPP

there has been some migration
to take advantage of a c&nce

There has been some upgrad-

But Seattle has not utilized
