Fears Negroes Will
Lose Shipyard Jobs

WASHINGTON-( A MP = The
shipbwlding industry will face a
sharp contraction in the postwar
period, according to Michael Ross,
Washington representative for the
Industrial Union of Marine and
Shipbuilding Workers of America
(CIO), bringing with 1t substantial
reduction in payrolls.
Reductions among Negroes, he
said, are going to be heavy due
largely to "strict application of
seniority rules and veterans re-
employment provisions" Continu-
Ing he said: 1.-THE problem of the
Negro here is part of the total
problem of reconversion of ship
building workers A large part of
the hope for fairer treatment in
the economic field resides in such
simple question as the obtaining
of the right to vote
Ross spoke on the shipbuilding
panel of the conference on 1.-THE
Post War Industrial Outlook for
Negroes" at Howard university last
Thursday. According to figures
compiled by the Office of War In
formation last May, wartime en-
ployment of non-white shipyard
workers, predominently Negroes,
has increased more than fifteen
fold since 1910. Nearly $4,000 Ne
groes were in the industry in 1914.
