A series Of articles by Labor
Press Associates, a Washington
news service for trade union pa
pers, has exposed the current
drive for national service legisla-

ed manpower shortage "a myth"
LPA quoted an unnamed War
Manpower Commission official as
informing them that the estimates
of 10000 to 100000 workers need

largely fictitious" because the

'Work-Or-Fight' Bill Means Negroes
Restricted, Ordered Around On Color
Basis Rather Than Country's Needs

New York, N. Y.-Despite Pre-
sident Roosevelt's insistence up
on a National Service act which
will draft all men and women in
the country for the war effort,
the NAACP characterized this
legislation as slavery in a state
ment this week.
Experience during the first
World War demonstrated clear
ly," said the NAACP statement,
that any 'work-or-fight' bill
means that Negroes will be re-
stricted and ordered about on the
basis of color. rather than on the
basis of the eountry's need.
Under this legislation, it is
entirely possible that local and
state administrators will restrict
Negro workers to certain types Of
employment, will bar them from
free movement to improve them
selves, and will enforce all manner
of onerous rules dictated solely
by racial discrimination

General Francis Biddle in the

medy for the Detroit situation
was to keep any additional Ne
groes from going to Detroit
This is merely sample of
what would happen under a Nat
ional Service act. Negro workers
could be barred from white collar
employment. They could be con-
fined to farm labor. They could
be ordered from st. Louis, Mo-,
to rural Alabama. They could be
barred from high-paying factory
jobs and restricted to hard, hot,
heavy labor such as foundry work.
They could be ordered to out
door work in severe weather.
There Is no limit to the ways in
which Negro citizens might be
mistreated under this type of le-
gislation. II would be little better

ow Southern Newspapers Treat News of Negro Soldiers

The following is partial list of Southern
newspapers which carry news about Negro
service men and women, A check in column
% means that the paper prints news stories;
check in column CD indicates that 1t uses
photographs: and check in column (3)
means that the paper uses the courtesy titles
of "Mr," and Mrs" in referring to parents
or other relatives of the service men and
women,
Our information is derived from newspaper
clippings and our clipping service gives us
only partial coyerage. The list includes only
those papers which have come to our at
tention during the past six months and which
publish news or pictures of Negro service
personnel, Omission of particular paper
from the list may mean either that We have
no clippings from that paper or that it does
not use such stories or pictures. We hope to
prepare comprehensive list showing which
papers do or do not follow certain practices.
You ca nhelp us by sending us notes on the
