Negro Workers
Support Nisei
In Job Fight

San Francisco, Calf. - Negro
workers in the Municipal Railway
System here stood squarely behind
a Japanese-American machinist
who filed civil service requirements
and was assigned to repair work on
buses. White machinists at first
threatened to quit work, but later
voted to stay on the job.
Negro workers, who have been
employed in large numbers on
buses, trolleys and cable cars here
during the war years, promptly mo-
bilized in support of the Nisei's
right to work. They were assisted
by Noah W. Griffin, in charge Of
the West Coast Regional office Of
the NAACP here, and by Joseph
James, president of the San Fran
cisco branch NAACP. Also active
were the Mayors Council for Civic
Unity and the Japanese American
Citizens League.
The machinist, Takeo Miyama, is
an American born japanese who re-
turned to the Coast from one of
the relocation centers. The final ex-
cuse of the white machinists was
that they wanted the jobs held for
"San Francisco veterans regardless
of race, color, or creed, including
REPRESENTATIONS"
The position of the Negro work
ers was that if movement to deny
employment to minority groups
goes unchallenged, it will not be
many weeks before the right Of
Negroes to employment on the Mu-
nicipal Railway system will also
be challenged.
