Full Employment
A Postwar Must
By Joseph C. O'Mahoney
u. S. Senator from Wyoming

Involuntary unemployment must not
be tolerated in the postwar world if
we hope to prevent another depres-
sion. When the government stops buy
ing the products of the farm and the
factory for the purposes of war we
shall be face to face with another col
lapse unless we undertake by construc-
tive and intelligent action to provide
full employment. ALL business, all
agriculture, all industry depends upon
it. For if people cannot purchase the
goods and the services the nation is
capable of producing, business will go
into another tailspin.

ness men of America 1856, 1000, 10000

USS Adds New Units
In Far Pacific Zone

United Seamen's Service is follow
ing the fighting forces in great arc
through the southwest Pacific, and
today has facilities in ten ports Of
the area, including three in the Philip
pines. Surveys are being made and
additional personnel is being train
ed and assembled at Manila, regional
headquarters for the West Pacific,
and at Sydney, South Pacific head
quarters, ready to move in with new
units wherever the Army and Navy
establish their supply bases. This in
formation was received by Mr.. Ralph
Morningstar member of the Hamilton
and Butler County Community War
Chest Executive Committee in re-
port from the National War Fund,
which finances the work of United Sea-
mems Service.
Noumea, in New Caledonia, was the
site of the first USS club in the area,
opened in February of last year. The
northern New Guinea ports of Milne
Bay, Finchaven and Hollandia follow
ed with floating club, the steamship
Klang, supplementing this service. The
Milne Bay facilities already have been
closed as shipping routes shifted to
the west Clubs were opened at Sydney
and Brisbane in the fall; second and
| larger club has been added since at
Sydney and the Brisbane unit has NOV
ed into larger quarters, said the re-
port.
In the Philippines, personal service
was begun for the men on ships off
Leyte the first of the year, shore facili-
ties being added two months later. In
February, USS representatives were
flown into Manila while fighting was
still in progress on the outskirts, and
residence club occupying one of the
finer residences of the city, with a
swimming pool and tennis courts, was
opened Washingtons Birthday with
merchant seamen released from a
Japanese prison camp as its first
guests before the port was opened for
the entry of the first supply ship. A
third club in the Philippines, at San
Fernando, in the Lingeyen Gulf on the
west coast of Luzon, was opened in
June, and Cebu is being surveyed as a
| a., loo
| islands.
Personal service has been given to
seamen on shipboard at Saipan, in the
Marianas, since May and shore facili-
ties are being prepared. On the first
occasion when merchant seamen were
! allowed ashore at this port, Maritime
Day, May %, USS representatives ar
ranged a picnic attended by 500 sea-
men.
USS offers merchant seamen the
only places they have to go in most
of these island ports, some of them
mere Jungle harbors. The club at Fin
chaven, New Guinea, had an attend
ance of ,470 in the first three months
of 1914. The SIS Klang had an attend
ance of 1902 in the some period The
Tacloban club had 1,272 registrations
in it's first six days.
Meanwhile on the other side of the
world, USS clubs have been opened at
Bremerhaven and Hamburg. Altogeth-
er, United Seamen's Service now main
tains 135.resident and recreation clubs

up the office for us during the de-
preston. He was a harmless, quiet
guy, very respectful, if you know
what l mean; always did his work
OK. When things really got tough,
some white guys caught the poor
chap down the street early one
morning and nearly beat him to
death. Why? Well, they told him
never to come over here to work
again. Nothing like that now. But
it might happen again.
A week later the Negro chap
called up and asked us to send him
his wages-said he had to go down
south to visit a sick grandmother,
or something; / don't know what
the hell it was now They're al
ways coming up with some damn
silly excuse.

still didn't want us to hire Negroes.
Before then we weren't particular
about the Negroes anyway, but
when our white help started desert
ing us and we had war contracts
to fill, the unions attitude really
had us across a barrel. Finally we
had to tell them to get us workers
according to their closed shop con-
tract or we would get them our
selves. We knew damn well they
couldn't find anybody but Negroes
to work for 55 and 62 cents per
hour.
Most of the Negroes are loyal,
regular and efficient. We have 10
Negro women welders who are as
good as any man we have in the
shop. But in spite of your color,
Pm giving it to you straight. A lot
of your people aren't worth damn

Word received here is to the eff
feet that the strike of native At

clear whether the demands of the

skilled and unskilled workers has
been met, Neither has it been
learned authentically whether the
two African owned and edited daily
newspapers, the West African Pilot
and the Comet, have been permitted
to resume publication. They have
been suspended and it had been re-
ported that Nnamdi Azikiwe, their
editor, had been threatened with

.CL0SE2FEPC0 OFFICES
ONE IN CINCINNATI

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (ANP)
Two of the last regional FEPC
offices which had been opened are
now closed, and the other three to
be shut due to the curtailed appro-
priation will wind up on Aug. 25,
Chairman Malcolm Ross said here.
Both the Cincinnati and New Or
leans office had been established
earlier this year to handle the in
creasing number of complaints of
discrimination in war employment
coming from those areas. In March,
FEPC held a public hearing in Gin
cinnati to examine charges of dis
elimination against five war plants
there.
Ross disclosed also that the $500
cases pending before the committee
on July l represent an approximate
20 percent increase over the case
load for the same time last year.
The reorganization which FEPC
is undergoing will ultimately result
in the reduction of it's total staff
from lit to 81 persons. Only 25 of
these will remain to function in the
10 regional offices being retained.
This personnel will be assigned to
areas where industry requirements
are still acute, Ross said.

pay; No muss, no fuss, and the un-
ion doesn't bother us?
Our wage rate? Well, it's compet-
tive. Our base rate is 62 cents per
hour for men and SIS for women.
No, we treat our people right. With
the bonus and the overtime they
can meet the cost of living; after
all, we don't believe in welching
even if they are mostly colored.
Sorry you asked that. We aren't
so certain how the colored will fit
into our postwar plans. We never
used your color before. Up until
three years ago we used strictly
white males. Of course we couldn't
hold those fellows for 81 cents per
hour when Chrysler and Studebaker
were offering them up to $1.25 per
hour

sides, we were so hard up we took
anything that came along.
Sometimes / tell Mr.. Anglin,
that's the president, that perhaps
we shouldn't be too hard on them.
Most of the white employees live
in the neighborhood, but the Ne
groes spend about four hours day
in travel after working eight and
nine hours day. Besides, they get
the lowest wages and the dirtiest
work in the plant. And another
thing, if it hadn't been for them the
war would have put us out of busi-
ness.

white WOMAN USED TO
HARA55 NEGRO VETERAN

SEATTLE, Aug. Is (ANP)-a
White women were used here to
harass Negro veteran off his job
as bus driver.
Thomas J. Allen, who was wound
ed on the U. S. Liscomb Bay, the
ship on which Dorie Miller lost
his life, was the revent victim of
an anti-Negro movement that en-
ployed white women to stage scenes
on the bus he was driving. The vet
eran, who saw action in the battles
of Tarawa, Eniwetok, Espirites
Santes, the Marshall islands and
Tulagi, resigned the job in disgust.
Shortly after the veteran quail
fled for the bus drivers job, he re-
ports being accosted downotwn one
day by an unidentified man, who
whispered that if he took his bus
out that night, che might not come
back" Allen, who has had two ships
shot down from under him, rode the
bus in civilian clothes and saw sew
Ell men, who appeared excited and
angry, at the spot designated.
He reported his findings to Dean
Hart, executive secretary of the To-
cal Urban League.
If we expect to have peace af-
ter victory, it is of the utmost i'm
portance that labor be organized
and strive with management to
provide enough employment for all
workers regardless of race, creed
or COLOR" the Urban league secre-
tary said.
The Seattle Transit commission
promised Hart that their facilities
would be used to help uncover the
source of such intimidation of tran
sit drivers. Allen, who Is married
and the father of two children, said
that one white woman staged a
scene twice. She boarded his bus
with a man at First and Lenora
street the first time but got off
after a vulgar remark about not
riding with a colored driver; she
boarded the bus again when it re-
turned and staged similar scene,
the veteran said.
