within the past three years, he said.
The increase Of Negro workers in
industry jumped to 43 per cent dur
ing the 12-month period from No
vember, 1912, to November, 1943,
he added.
After revealing the role USES
played in integrating Negro work
ers into Americas wartime indus
trial and agricultural program, he
also revealed the stern opposition
encountered in utilizing Negro la
Dor. That opposition came from en-
ployer, labor and communities that
AFFECTED to a large influx of Ne
groes.
State segregation laws merely
helped increase integration handi-
caps, he disclosed. Employers were
required to make expensive altera-
tions in the plant in order to COM
ply with the state laws that prohib-
tied white and colored employees
from working in the same shop, or
from using the same sanitary fa-
cilities, eating arrangements and
locker rooms.

formation" the problem of stating
the giant Hercules powder plants at
Radford and New-River, Va, in the
fall of 1914. That is an untold story
how national safety was dangerous
ly threatened by inadequate powder
supply for the armed forces during
a critical period when the war
against the axis was in progress.
The labor problem was solved by
the employment of 1900 colored
women, who began to turn out
thousands of rounds of high eXplo-
sives.
USES also helped solve the la
Dor problem at the National Carbon
company in Winston-Salem, n. c.,
where 700 Negro workers were
hired. Forty-five Negro women, of
high school level or better, were
carefully selected by USES to be
trained as instructors and super
visers for the Negro workers. This
company was engaged in the manu-
facture of highly secret product
for the navy.
One of the prime factors that con-
tributed to the integration of Ne
gro workers into industry in this
area was the training that many
had received through the vocation
al and technical classes conducted
under the VINO program. Employ
er sare generally satisfied with the
production of Negro workers, DAILY
reported. They stand a good chance
to retain their jobs, gained through
the acquisition of wartime skills
where seniority provisions will per
nit.
Colored employees were the last
ones hired and therefore hold less
seniority than white workers, he
said.
