struck.
The company maintained that the
foreman was essential to the de-
partment and the war effort, and
therefore should not be discharged.
They defended their suspension OF
Barno on the grounds that he was
indispensable. The Union refuted
this claim by showing that an
hourly-rated employees had sue
ceeded Barno temporarily during
the suspension, had maintained pro-
duction and Ill per cent increase
was noted.
The company's denial OF racial
discrimination was branded as false
by Wilson and Lloyd Jones. presi-
dent OF the Local. Union officials
maintained that out Of 100 office
workers employed by the company,
not a single Negro is employed.
The company was also charged with
refusal to employ and upgrade. Ne

Lloyd Jones urged that Barno not
