Men Pinch-Hit, Too
WOMEN may do fine work in such fields
as plumbing and truck driving; but there they
are only pinch-hitters for the men. What's
more important is that the Army and Navy
learned, as private business learned long ago,
that there are fields in which men are only
awkward, restless pinch-hitters for women.
That is why about 5000 Wacs we're sent to
England before the invasion - mostly for
administrative and specialized work 1t is why
81 per cent of the enlisted personnel in Marine
headquarters in Washington are women, why
the Navy has assigned more than 900 Waves
to the postal service.
In normal times, Civil Service workers can
fill many of the jobs which women in uni
form now are doing. But the Army and Navy
must always be ready for abnormal times.
They must have on tap the right people for
many kinds of jobs. And some of the right
people - especially for office jobs - they
have found, are women.
So the girls are in to stay. They may or
may not get West Point for themselves, but
they will have uniforms and wear them.

Muskegon Feared Michigan's Vulnerable Danger Spot
RACE TENSIONS.

agencies.
Last week the Michigan Chron-
icie took q trip TO this little in
dustrial town on the east shore
Of Lake Michigan to find out Just
what was going on there.
CONSIDERED rough town
by the inhabitants Of nearby cities
and towns, Muskegon. like Detroit
and many other industrial cities
had tremendous increase in lis
population with the coming of the
war. A prominent citizen of the
city. interviewed by the Chronicle
said, We have here mixture OF
Hollanders. who are naturally
prejudiced plus large influx OF
southern whites and Negroes.
These have combined TO create a
tension here which by no means
has subsidized
There are approximately $500
Negroes in Muskegon and the ma
jority Of them live in MuSkegon
Heights. one OF the three divisions
OF the city. The three divisions
are Muskegon Heights, East Mus
kegon and North Muskegon.)
Despite the fact that Negroes
have more or less been shunted
into the Heights area, they have
bought quite = bit Of property In
the Heights and In downtown
Muskegon.
Another citizen commenting on
the general housing situation in
the city said, The government has
done quite bit 10 help the situa-
ton through the construction Of
public housing but the city has
done nothing II anything, Negroes
have not been encouraged to buy
and own their own homes and the
most unusual pressure has peen
brought on those who live IN pub

schools and other facilities" The
Chronicle learned that the Mus

housing authorities in Cleveland,
setting a deadline date for Negroes

Gated in Norton Township. THIS IS
near a Negro project.
The employment situation in
Muskegon throws a great deal Of
light upon the problems now
facing that city. Before the war
Negroes worked i'm two foundrieS,
the Campbell Wyant and Cannon
and the Lakey Machine shops.

Federal War Committee Rules Against Holding

All organizations affiliated with the Massachusetts State Federation oi Labor have been advised that the an- nual convention will not be held this year.
 The letter addressed to all af6liat- ed unions is as follows:
 ''It is with regret that we must inform you that we have been ad- vised by the War Committee on Convention, that we must forego the holding of our annual conven- ton, which we consider a priceless heritage of our democratic trade union movement.
 ''We can only reconcile our- selves to this decision when we con- sider the Nations need for the con- servatiOn of transportation and hotel facilities, in the interest of the war effort. In this spirit, we share with you, the feeling and de- sire to continue the splendid CO., operation of Labor for an early vic- tory over the Japanese aggressor.
 ''In the interim, the policy and activities of the Massachusetts State Federation of Labor, will continue to be directed by the Ex- ecutive Council.
 ''It is our sincere hope, and prayer that the successful conclu- sion of the war in the East is near at hand, and that before many months elapse, we can again re- sume the traditional practice of meeting in convention, in accord ance with the provisions of our Constitution. Fraternally yours,
