which deserves special mention is

NEGROES POSTWAR
EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS
With reference to the postwar
job prospects of the Negro worker,
it may be noted, on the basis Of a
comparison Of the 1910 and 1914 fig
ures on the occupational and indus
trial distribution of the Negro labor
force, that (1) the Negro has made
his greatest employment gains III
those occupations Especially semi
skilled factory jobs) which will SUI
fer the severest cutbacks during the
postwar period, az further, he has
made hi biggest advances in those
industries Especially the metals,
chemicals and rubber group which
will experience the greatest postwar
declines.
IN addition, it should be pointed
out that the Negro gains have taken
place in congested production areas
where considerable readjustment or
the labor force will be necessary.
In general, the Negro has been able
to get his war job in areas where d
substantial proportion Of the labor
force was also engaged III war work.
Information for four major congest~
ed production areas Mobile, Charl-
eston, Detroit, and Willow Run, and
Hampton Roads, shows hat among
the more than half a million in-mi-
grants, about 1 in every 4 was a Ne

postwar adjustment will be mos,

The Reviews summary on WA
and Postwar Trends in Employment,
OF Negroes" prepared by Seymour
l. Wolfbein, of the Occupational
Outlook Division of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, states:
The 100000 Negroes in the Army
have their civilian counterpart in the
than five and a half million,
Negro workers in the United States.
This civilian labor force has exper
fenced marked changes in both its
occupational and industrial attrihut-
eS, which are significant as indicat-
orS not only of wartime change but
also Of postwar employment oppor
tunities.
Employment of Negroes in civil
ian jobs increased by almost a mil
lion between April 1910 and April
1914, the number Of employed men
rising from 20 to 3.2 million and the
number Of employed women from is
to 81 million. The outstanding
changes in Negro employment that
occurred during the 4 year period
were a marked movement from the
farms to the factories particularly
to those caking munitions of war;,
a substantial afount Of upgrading for
Negro workers, but little change il,
the proportions occupied in unskilled
jobs. AS the Negroes greatest EN-
ployment advances have been made
in precisely those occupations, indus
tries and areas in which the postwar
adjustment will be most severe. the
extent to which these gains can be
retained will be largely dependent
upon the maintenance Of a high level
OF postwar employment.
These facts shown in the presen.
article are based D 0 an ANALYSIS

dustrial distribution of employed
Negroes for April 1910 (shown BY

A LITTLE over six months ago,
"A Harry S. Truman took over the
biggest job in the world. He became
President Of the United States under
highly dramatic circumstances, and
in the shadow Of the nations be-
reavement over the death Of Frank

Your Home Town Reporter was
privileged to attend that first press
conference in the oval room of the
White House. That meeting won Tru-
man the respect Of all newspaper

President as a man of quick deci-
sions, forceful and aggressive, and
with a wide knowledge of govern

this reporter that he was inclined
more to weigh his words that he
was more ready to pass along the

THOUGHTS ON MONEY

Money has few friends these days.
The sticking kind, the sort of people
who want to cling to 1t tenderly.
Coin has become almost synonym
for confetti.
Americans are behaving as II they
thought 1t a reflection on their char
acter not to be spendthrifts. The old
slogans have been revised thusly:
I. Take care Of the daily doubles
and the pennies will have to take
care Of themselves.
2. A fool and his money make q
perfect parlay.
3. II money burns q hole In your
pocket, remember that It saves the
moths lot of work.
4. Waste not, have not!
s. A good race tip Is rather to be
had than great riches.
Frugality has become a word out
of an old dictionary. The man who
used to vince at the idea of paying
over rs cents for an ordinary lunch
now pays $3.50 and brings his own
butter and sugar. Give waiter only
10 per cent today and you auto
matically become Scrooge II.
-
Pull that old one about saving
something for rainy day today and
you get a snappy, "Phooeyl If 1t
rains can get an umbrella from
the government"
Thousands of people seem to be-
lieve that money not only grows on
trees, but that the trees can be
counted on to make deliveries.
II Ben Franklin were around to-
day delivering epigrams on thrift he
would be denounced as a reaction
airy. Tory and an enemy Of the
people.
The questions of the hour are: Is
cash a good thing to have around
the house? Should a five-dollar bill
be regarded as something for the
long pull or a quick turnover? Can
a man be thrifty and maintain the
respect Of the community
