WORLDS WORKERS CONCERNED
BY UNITED STATES LABOR BIAS
FEPC MOUNTING OPPOSITION
INiPERLS ALL POSTWAR AIMS

will continue TO suffer so long
as we have racial bans in the
labor field. It is high time we
realized that race" legislation
no longer refers to dolored peo-
pie alone. It can mean the Irish
race, the Jewish race, and many
other groups. Failure Of FEPC
may even affect white racial and
religious groups far more than l.
may affect colored. It might
be a good thing for this to hap
pen in those states which have
rejected the plan. All ready the
South has opened up against
Catholics, white Catholics.
There will be other evidence Of
othBr bigotries against other
white racial and religious min
critics. Just as it took a world
war to hammer home the facts
to some people, 1t may take in
ternal strife to make some peo-
pie realize the value Of FEPC.
LATINS, TOO
No minority group in Massa-
chusetts can safely afford to OPP
pose FEPC. Take the second
largest foreign-born group, the
Italians, for example. AS a di-
rect result of the war there is
a deep-seated prejudice against
Italians by some employers. This
is an acknowledged fact which
is unfortunately shared by some
rtoops in ITALY, even though
loyal italian Americans have
unquestionably sacrificed much
in winning the war. Yet this
| prevailing prejudice against
them will carry over to post
war jobs based or the italian
fascist regime and the behavior
! of italian prisoners Of war.
That any italian should oppose
FEPC in this state or elsewhere
would seem folly beyond words.
Intact it would be the utmost
| ignorance and there are igno-
rant leaders In all groups, even
in Boston.
WORLD NEEDS FEPC
Many minority groups, cog
infant of the truth behind
FEPC will continue to battle for
It's success in national as well
as 48-state legislation. Tempo
rary setNbacks are expected, but
the battle viii be won. We must
have FEPC, whether 1t is APP
plicable to private employment
or WPA, since a job is a job in
any event. We must have
FEPC not only within the
framework of nations, but
within the framework of any
world rganization, such as
that planned at San Francisco.
There is a place for FEPC in
China, India and Iceland just
as there is a place for 1t in
Alabama, Georgia and Massa-
chuSetts. If the United Nations
are sincere in their postwar
preaching they will all include
FEPC as a part o ftheir essen
tlal domestic planning. BY
grasping this outlook we can
more fully visualize the fact
that FEPC is not merely a Go
cal" project to be kicked
around by fat-headed polite
ians When A. Phillip Randolph
advocated FEPC he was speak
ing for labor not limited to New
York, not for California, but for
the entire world And business
barons opposing the ranks of
labor are only building up to an
awful letoown.

ALL MUST WORK
Just how many foreign-born
citizens dwell in the Bay State
was summarized recently by the
Boston HERALD as follows: In
first place, and according to the
1910 census, there were 1926
Canadians, followed by 114,362
italians, 1O3,3 Irish, s1,41I
French Canadians; 64,575 Rus
slams, 53,783 Poles. For a number
of reasons, some already for
seen, these minority groups are
going to need postwar FEPC,
These groups also include Ger
mans, Austrians, japanese and
many other nationalities not
listed here. All must work to eat
''FEPC Takers" in this and
other states, who are opposing
the bill with the obscuring excuse
that it is only a "colored" labor
bill which will benefit only color
ed workers, may live to see the
day when their folly will boom

race, religion and creed. More

as arising from boundary dis

be more apt TO prejudice some
American employers against per-

from such international ties.
Other nationalities are not.

worked in excess OF 40 hours, was

president.
Bucher revealed that these and
other company proposals have
been made 10 the United Electri-
cal Radio and Machine Workers
of America in reply TO the
unions demand for a S2-a-day
wage increase. He made the
public announcement Simultane-
ously with the mailing of the
first of a series of letters 10 all
Westinghouse employees discussing
the union stand.
Bucher's statement in part
said:
ITO make up some of the loss
OF take home pay involved in
going from peak war produc-
fion to a 40-hour week, and as
a stop-gap pending the develop
ment Of national wage policy,
Westinghouse has proposed to
the union that the company's
operations be increased from a
five-day week to five and a
half day week, wherever prac-
ticable. with time and a half TO
he paid for all hours worked In
excess Of 40 hours.
"A company cannot pay out
more wages, salaries and oper-
ating costs than IL takes in
this IL fundamental. The union
has not proposed 10 give more
work for what II now asks.
The present demand OF the
union cannot be justified on any
basis other than the fact that
the company has assets which
the union would like To have
distributed to Its members now.
IL ignores the fact that these
assets are needed for reconver-
sion. plant expansion, develop
ment of new products creating
new jobs, and carrying over
lean years"
