10000 west INDIAN
WORKERS IN U. ).

ASHIN CT On, Aug. "a
(ANP)-Herbert G. Macdonald,
chief liaison officer of combined
West Indian supervisory group,
has announced that there are now
100000 West Indian workers in the
United States. Of these $4,000 are
working on farms and $4,000 in
industry; 1920 Of these workers
are in Ohio.
These figures do not include the
Bahamians who are to have their
own supervisory officer and about
whom information is not presently
available. 1t is known that there
are about 1000 Bahamians working
in the country. What disposition
will be made of the West Indian
workers now that the. war is over
has not been stated but it is as
sumed that with the return of
American workers their number
will be gradually reduced.

COAL CRISIS FEARED IN
DAYTON next MONTH

Dayton will be wavering for the
next month between warm homes
this autumn and winter and in
adequate coal supplies, it was in
dicated last night.
Ability of Dayton coal dealers to
obtain and deliver more fuel in the
next month will go long way to-
ward solving the situation, they
said. The kind of weather expert
enced in the Dayton area in the next
month or six weeks also will be an
important factor.
Meanwhile, consumers are urged
by the solid fuels administration
organization here to assist them
selves in easing a possible coal
shortage. New coal consumers are
urged to provide the city bureau
of public assistance with consumer
declarations.
Those who have filed these forms
are requested to accept, as soon as
possible, partial delivery of coal
allotments. No word that consumer
declarations will not be needed has
been received by the Dayton agency.
A statement by Army officials
early this week that a coal shortage
probably would not arise this win
ter has reacted negatively here,
solid fuels representatives said.
Applications for filing consumer
declarations fell off and slight de-
cline in coal orders was noted, deal
ers said. The Army statement fol-
lowed Army cutbacks of coal orders.
Walter M. Costello, head of the
city bureau receiving consumer
declarations and representative of
Mayor Frank M. Krebs in Dayton
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-08-24

coal survey, said no extra employees
have been provided for this work
and last-minute rushes for coal will
create a problem.
Deliveries are below normal, deal
ers said, and mines are unable to
supply adequate amounts of coal to
meet supplying of limited amounts
of fuel. Up to 80 per cent of last
years fuel consumption can be sup
piled under federal regulations.

MASS LAY-0FFS FOLLOW VI
DAY; RE-EMpL0YMENT SLOW

CHICAGO, Aug. "a (ANP)-
Thousands of Negro war workers
are losing their jobs all over the
country as an immediate effect of
the end of the war with little pros
pect of early unemployment in civ
ilian industries, it was stated by
Elmer w. Henderson, regional
-FEPC director.
Typical of many areas in Chica-
go where the great employment
advances which Negroes have made
during the war have been in the
munitions industries and the gov
ernment service which are
being Immediately and drastically
cut. 1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 Negroes in munitions manu-
featuring here. This includes ord
nance, aircraft, electrical and ra-
dio equipment, chemicals and steel.
The vast majority of the jobs are
war-created and are being the first
abolished. Approximately $4,000
are in government employment, a
large part in the war and navy de-
partments in storage and dispersal
depots and in the inspection of war
materials.
Distress will be ACUTE" Hen
derson warned, unless immediate
and effective steps are taken by
the government and industry to
provide at least 2,25O,OOO jobs in
the Chicago area and to guarantee
against racial discrimination in re-
employment.
"The FEPC will do it's level best
to prevent discrimination during
this critical period, but much of our
authority will vanish with the ter
mination of war contracts. An un-
parallel crisis is upon us. It is a
grim paradez that the glorious and
victorious end of the war should
threaten Negro veterans and war
workers with mass unemployment
