Negroes in Industry

Negroes in Industry
Negroes have made their great
est gains in war plants and in in
dustries devoting all or a part of
their operation to war contracts.
When cutbacks occur many Negro
workers will be automatically
"out." To facilitate their early in
PRODUCTION into established peace
time industries, or in other post
war developments, well laid plans
should be in operation to cushion
the impact of wholesale unemploy-
ment. There are, however, func-
tioning agencies already commit
ted to the responsibility for Great
ing employment opportunities for
Negroes. This article will confine
it's discussion largely to Negro
workers who are destined to fill
the postwar jobs made available to
them.
Wartime Work Record Important
The wartime employment record
of each postwar worker is certain
to be used as an index to the in
dividual's desirability as peace
time employee. Has he or she
measured up to the standard Of
white workers-not the average
but the most efficient? Has he
"made the grade" to the extent of
overcoming the handicap of color?
To be able to compete on any terms
approaching equality, it is an &C
cepted fact that the Negro work
err must show consistently better
performance and greater adapta-
bility to his job than the white
employee. This is especially true
in industries where Negro workers
were not previously employed.
Insistence of superior fitness is,
of course, unfair and unjust when
the requisite is based on color
alone. Color plus certain added
personal and social qualities of an
nature are Objectionable
to both white and Negro workers
alike. Furthermore, color plus GER
tain undesirable personal traits
transfer to the minority
group an employment disadvantage
which it can most i'll afford. AS a
result, the Negro worker is not
viewed effectively. He is too often
seen through the shortcomings of
some careless workers who never
fail to draw unfavorable attention
to themselves. Thus, unsatisfactory
work or behavior on the part of
Negro workers tends to obscure
the otherwise favorable estimate
of supervisors or other administra-
tive personnel. Unless these per-
sons of authority belong to that
rare class of citizens who rise
above the bugaboo of racialism, the
Negro worker is seldom divorced
from his handicap of color. There
fore, the requirement of greater
ability and better performance on
his job, though unjust and unfair,
becomes the heritage of every Ne
gro employee-if his tenure is to |
be made secure.
Self EvaluatiOn Necessary
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1945-07-27
Self EvaluatiOn Necessary

Too many Negro workers are
totally unable to accurately evalu-
ate themselves as workers. Some
do not seem to care while others
have little or no idea whether they
are performing their duties in
highly satisfactory manner. This
lack of correct self appraisal Gre
ates a blind spot which often handi-
caps the worker in fully measuring
up to his job. Each worker should
realize that if given the same OPP
portunity as any other employee
for production effort and if his in
dividual performance is good, he
can do much to erase the myth that
Negroes will not qualify as desir-
able workers. This stigma of the
undesirability of Negro workers
once ,obliterated from the thinking
of employers, will clear the way
for greater opportunity for the
large number of Negro workers
who are certain to be affected by
the coming industrial changes.
When the present period of full
employment in war plants yields
to cutbacks and the resultant re-
distribution of workers to peace
time employment, the wartime
gains of Negroes will be focused
in bold relief. Will the relation
ships and patterns established in
the wartime picture be SO de-
veloped that Negro participation
in job opportunities can become
part of the normal employment
process?
This article, and others to follow,
are written in an effort to help
workers take stock of themselves
in the hope that when the Negro
wage Garner is measured, no legiti-
mate objection to his employment
can be made.

en- in Industry.")

employment may also occur when
large-scale conversion to peace
time production begins. The
changeover from war production to
manufacturing of peacetime goods
and materials will naturally cause
considerable displacement of work
ers.

Confidence is a great attribute
TO any athlete, especially a major

very long against some of those
sluggers like Hank Greenberg and
Rudy York. Most of them seem
to have plenty of it.
So it gives me a little thrill 10
read that Bob Feller wasn't quite
sure when he faced those big
Tigers, who had already gotten
"in the grove" whether he could
go the full nine innings.

game after a stretch in the navy,
