operations by 154 of the 300 plants;
as semi-skilled workers in 247
plants; and as unskilled workers in
all. The majority of the plants en-
ploying skilled Negro workers were
located In the Midwest and East
ern Seaboard cities.
In 253 of the 800 war plants,
management declared that on the
basis of current experience with
Negro workers, jobs would be as
sured them after the war. Twelve
plants had made no decision, and
the remaining IS declined to make
a commitment.
The most frequent complaints
listed by 142 plants which reported
difficulties in the use of Negro
workers were the following: High
er rate of absenteeism in 81 plants;
race friction in 81; "chip-on-shoul-
der" attitude in II: high turnover
in 70. Seventy-eight plants report
cd no special difficulties and 81
no answer to the inquiry. 1t is in
teresting to note that only 81 of
The 300 plants covered reported
friction between white and Negro
workers as a difficulty.
On the positive side statements
were received from number of
plants especially commencing the
work of Negro employees. A New
York engineering plant which en-
ploys 700 Negro workers reported:
I'm the manufacture of precision
instruments, it is necessary that
workers be selected on a qualitative
basis the colored people that
we select must be of the same cali
Der as other groups, and we have
had very little difficulty in the use
of Negro workers. In fact, we nave
had many compliments on their
work from Supervision"
In releasing it's report, the Ma
tional Urban League points out that
approximately one million Negro
workers were reported employed by
war industries reporting through
the USES, and that other indus
tries not included in this report
would probably bring the number Of
Negro workers in war production
up TO at least 100000. A lag in the
of Negro women was
indicated in the estimate that only

To Tell DenIls
Negro Vote Is
Not In Bag
'Grassroots' Meet
Slated In D. G..
February 25-26

WASHINGTON-(A N p De
mocratic party workers "all who
can get here"-are going to con-
vene in Washington this month
to tell the Democratic National
committee that the Negro vote is
not in the bag" and that some
thing is going to have to be done
if the party expects to hold this
vote.
Emmett S. Cunningham, presi-
dent of the Michigan Federated
Democratic clubs, has sent out
the call to washington convinced
me that this is the time for active
Democrats to get together for
discussion of issues of vital interest
to the Negro" Cunningham has
said in his call.
VOTE NOT IN BAG
There seems to be some dispo-
Sition to regard the Negro vote
as in the bag" Party workers in
the field, however, know that this
is not true New political trends
have developed If the party is
to retain the support of Negro
voters, some definite consideration
will have to be given to the needs
of these voters"
The conference will have the
endorsement Of Herbert l.. Bruce
of New York; Augustus Hawkins
of California; j. Everett Harris,
John Petrie and John Walker of
Kentucky; DR.. S. P. Taylor Of
Massachusetts,; Edward A. Sim
mon of Michigan; Daniel Ambrose
of West Virginia; The Rev. Mar
shall Shepard of Pennsylvania;
and j. Maynard Dickerson Of
Ohio.
Labor has been invited to parti
cipated by Willard S. Townsend, /
president, United Transport Work
ers of America, and various CIO /
and AFL locals may attend.
PLANS NOT FORMED
Meanwhile, the colored division /
of the National Democratic COM J
mittee, headed by w l.. Houston :
as director, has not yet worked +
out its plans. The report has been 4
current that he was planning
meeting of the division, perhaps F.
for a similar purpose. The Know /
ledge that the national committee /
would be financing the expenses,
however, caused members of the
other group to conclude that the
Houston meeting might not be
free and unfettered."
Asked about his plans Houston
said Il do not know that we are
going to hold a meeting. He did /
not intend this to mean a denial,
he explained He ventured to say
though that Mr.. Roosevelt viii be
elected to a fourth term" The d.
rector refused to say whether or
not this is the view of his division.
