Unemployment Is Coming?

With the canceling of war or
ders by the military agencies, re-
sulting in shutting down of war
plants and discharge of thousands
of war workers, we have a pre-
veiw of what is to come when the
war actually ends.
1t is not to be expected, how
ever, that the same people who a
few weeks ago were bowling for
labor draft will now become
concerned about the thousands of
men and women who have no
jobs. That would be too much to
expect.
Even the federal government ex-
poets to release about 10000 en-
ployees from war agencies each
month, and these employees can
look forward to no unemployment
compensation, because they have
not been in covered employment.
All in all. with thousands of
service men, discharged and back
in civvies, and with jobs disap-
pearing by millions, the American
workman can look forward to
nothing pleasant. Even with job
less compensation his future prom
ises to be precarious.

retirement from the service he
has devoted much of his time in
the interest of THE Society of

Response for new members and
for renewal of membership in the

too many residents of Seattle have
not yet paid their 1945 member
ship. We are also reminded that
response from civic and social or
CARNATIONS and agencies has not
been what it should be in way of
supporting fully the work of the
Association. We are sure that
every individual and organized
group in Seattle is anxious to
contribute in some way to the
worth while and essential program
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie. Every organized group and
individual is urged to provide in
your budget sum to be contrib
uted to the Seattle Branch of the
N. A. A. C. p.
The Association needs your sup
port and you need the Association.
There is tremendous job to be
done now and much preparation
to be made to combat the many
problems which inevitably will be
thrust upon us in the postwar
period.
