TINS war and at the same time,
keep record of the Negroes con-

history give the Negro civilian

determining the destiny of AM

The second feature is a future
one. The meeting of such clubs

periods Negroes will need build
ing and loan associations to save
their homes, banks to help their
business and industry to give en-
ployment to Negro soldiers and
civilians.
Here lies the real possibility. A
thousand Negroes buying a. $500
bond a month would accumulate
$300,O00 in one year. In three years
the amount would be $l,5OO,OOO.
A club may decide to take flu
ture building and loan association
as its objective. When the war
is over and building is allowed

have bonds which money and

paign would be necessary. Each
member could be given stock for

Tie secretary did not choose to
elaborate. In spite of this, however
it is reliably learned that specific
concern is being given to the pro-

The source of this information was

Russia Gives Fascist

not matter thas several Of these
Uzbeck workers came from cotton

only individual Russian workers,
but the trade unions, which &C

Within few weeks 100 Uzheck

Kurbanov, a steel caster: Fazie-
yev, drying furnacement and Dju-
magulyev, an aLtogenous welder.
They passed into higher skilled
categories and their wages were
increased
Trade unionism came to the
fore in looking cat for the every
day needs and welfare of their
Uzbek members. Technical courS-
es organized by trace unions in
Uzbek language in orGer for W.
bekS to study TO raise their quail
fications. Comfortable living quar-
ters were arranged for them In
the plants apartment houses.
Even pl1oncgraph records with
Uzbek songs and dances were
secured for them as well as books.
Ten Uzbek workers were among
20 chosen by the trade union for
trade union rest homes. Every
thing has been done to welcome
those dusky compatriotS and to
make them feel at home. Some
have married Russian girls.
This unity, oneness, which indi-
Gates an absolute absence of ra-

mutual welfare of the country's

workers have reciprocated becom-

Although llnSsilled and service
Jobs accounted for 572, 184 of the
July September placements of nom
white workers, the number of
skilled and seml-skilled non-white
placements increased 1871 per cent
and ID per cent, respectively, over
the 1913 period During the 1914
period. 1898 non whites were plaC-
ed in skilled jobs, and 1929 in
semi-skilled- jobs. A total of GOAL
nom whites was placed in clerical
and sales positions, and 483 in
professional AMI managerial posi-
tons.
DECLINE SHOWN
Despite the increase in non-White
placements, the Reports and Ana
lysis Service reported net decline
of 100000 non-agricultural place
ments between September 1943 and
September 1914 Agricultural en-
ployment declined by 100000 during
the July-September 1914 period,
but there was an increase of 100000
women III war Industries.
The report pointed cut that for
every month during 1914, the num-
Der Of women in industry was
greater than that of tie same
month in 1943, making 1t apparent
that the number of women enter
ing the labor force has been suf-
ficiently large to more than offset
the exit of women from the labor
market
For certain componentS OF nom
agricultural activities, significant
changes in employment were shown
between September 1943 and Sep
TENDER 1914. The decrease in mu-
nitions employment amounted to
100000 for the whole country. Other
manufacturing activities decreased
by 400, 600 Similarly, there was a
10000 drop in construction place
ments. These declines were parti-
ally offset by an increase in trade
and service placements.
