Negro JObless
May Top Million
SAYS Lecturer

Improved unemployment COM
pensation during the transition per
iod, full employment after recon
version, and stronger fair employ
ment practice measures are imper-
alive to prevent disastrous unem-
ployment among Negroes, Herbert
R. Northrup declares in Will Ne
grOes Get Jobs Now? a 32-page
pamphlet published last week by
the Public Affairs Committee, Inc,
of New York.
DR.. Northrup, visiting lecturer
in economics at New York Univer-
sity, and formerly senior hearing
officer at the Regional War Labor
Board in New York, points out that
even with a satisfactory program
to care for the temporarily jobless,
Negro unemployment may exceed
100000. This is described as
rock bottom" estimate, with the
situation growing progressively
worse if prompt action is not taken.
At Bottom of Pyramid
Although Negro workers made
substantial gains during the war,
both in the quantity and quality of
jobs held, the end of the war found
them "at the bottom of the eco
nomic pyramid, still concentrated in
the lowest paying jobs, still far
from having reached their goal of
economic equality, and in imminent
danger of having many of their
wartime gains wiped out"
They are being especially hard
hit, DR.. Northrup explains, "be-
cause their employment during war
time was concentrated in war in
dustries that are bearing the brunt
of the unemployment; because Ne
groes, as group, were the last
hired, had the least seniority, and
therefore were the first laid off; ;
because they are concentrated in
the areas, especially the South, as
well as in the industries, that suf-
fered the most by the curtailment
of war production; and because they
may be expected to suffer from dis
elimination in seeking new jobs"
In its survey of job prospects for
Negroes in particular industries,
the pamphlet discloses that the out
look is quite good in the electrical,
radio and communication equipment
industry, and in the iron and steel
industry. 1t finds the situation less
heartening in the rubber industry,
and poor in the building trades,
transportation, shipbuilding, and
the aircraft and automobile indus
tries.
Full employment alone won't give
the Negroes a square deal" in job
opportunities, the author finds, for
experience has proved the need for
even stronger fair employment
practice measures than were set
up during the war. He suggests
that discrimination in employment
could be curbed by either of two
methods: (D amending the Ma
tional Labor Relations (Wagner)
Act and the various state Little
Wagner" acts to provide that dis
elimination by either employers or
unions because of race, color, creed,
or national origin is an unfair labor
practice forbidden by law; or (2)
creating permanent national and
state Fair Employment Practice
Commissions to administer Fair
Racial Practice Acts, and providing
these commissions with powers SIM
liar to those possessed by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board SO
that they can petition the courts to
enforce their directives."
