War Veteran
Finds It Hard
To Get A Job

After more than two months of
searching for employment at local
defense plants-and government
subsidized drive-away system which
wouldn't hire him because the
union won't accept colored men"
- Rufus r. Richards, 28-year-old
World War II veteran of SAIL Scot
ten finally found a job as stock
handler at the Briggs plant last
week.
Richards, who was with the
armed forces for "a months and
served four months in French North
Africa, was given an honorable
discharge from the army on De-
cember IA, l943. Returning to De-
troit he Immediately set out to
find a job to take care Of his wife
and small child.
But In spite Of advanced infor-
nation that defense plants are hir-
ing veterans first. Richards went
front one plant TO another but no
job was to be had. At the Packard
plant, Richards said, he was told,
'all we have for you is janitor
work" but he refused to take a
janitor's job because the pay was
not sufficient to adequately provide
for his family At the Timpkin Gear
and Axle plant he was told, you
look too light for this work." At
the Cadillac plant he worked for
over an hour filling out applications
which were put on file" and at
Beckers Driveway on Outer
Drive, who has contract for de-
livering army motor vehicles, he
was told the union won't accept
colored drivers.
Returning to the USES he asked
for q break-in Job at one Of the
plants advertising extensively for
men for such jobs. He was sent to
the Briggs plant where he said they
wouldn't place him on a break-in
Job, but did find a place for him
as a stock handler.
Richards went to work last Tues
day, but lost two days on account
of the recent Briggs strike. 'The job
doesn't pay enough to take good
care of my family" Richards said,
but it's the best could do. Looks
like nobody wants to hire colored
veteran"
