BY the Acting Governor
MUSIC WEEK = ls4s

May Ia, 1949 will be the 18th annual observance of Music
Week on a nationwide basis in the United States. This year,

selected in consonance with the cooperative and inclusive
character Of the participation. The people of the Virgin Is
lands of the United States have long recognized and continue
to appreciate "the significance of music as a universal Ian
guage and as a helpful vehicle for achieving spiritual unity
peoples of the world.
ORE, i MORRIS F. DE CASTRO, Acting Gov
ernor Of the Virgin Islands of the United States, do hereby
call upon the people of the Virgin Islands to observe May 18
l949 in the churches, schools, civic organizations, and homes.
And / request that we strengthen the ties of Brotherhood DUR
ing the 1949 Music Week by a united effort in ~furthering the
cause of music as an art and a harnonizing force within our
communities, and to- extend the radius of its influence beyond
our shores.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand &
caused the Seal Of the Government Of the Virgin Islands to
be affixed at Charlotte Amalie, ST. Thomas, Virgin Islands
of the United States, this sixth day of April, A. D., 1919.

WOMEN CONSTITUTE
I28 PER CENT OF
WORKERS IN NATION

WASHINGTON. D. C.-The Is mil
lion women at work today constitute
2S per cent Of the country's total labor
force and form the majority OF workers
in many vitality important industries
and occupations. Fricda s. Miller, di-
rector OF the Women's Bureau. Z. :.
Department OF Labor, told members Of
the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority here.
Speaking in the Department Of Com
mercc auditorium on "Womcn's Role
in the National Economy Miss Miller
added that "womcn's role in the Ma
tional economy is not an isolated, spc-
called issue but an integral part OF the
whole economic picture and for the
sake Of the nation and the women work
crs themselves, it must be appraised as
exactly that
Concerning the contribution Of Negro
women in the country's economic life,
the Bureau director said that almost
2L million were in the l9E labor
force. Detailed breakdowns are not
available, Miss Miller said but data
complied thus far indicate considerable
changes since 1910.
One Of these changes, she said, was
the decline in the proportion Of Negro
woncn in farm work, which engaged
only 7 per cent Of the total Negro
women workers in l047 as contrastcd tc
the p per cent who we're in farm oc-
equations in 1910.
Another shifting occurred, it wa.
pointed out, in the field OF domesti,
service. In 1910, this occupation CAV,
employment to about 70 per cent Of tn
Negro women not working on FARMS
The present proportion Of Negro womci
so engaged is less than 50 per cent.
Miss Miller pointed out that the pro
portion Of Negro wome had more thai
triplcd in clerical and sales occupa
tons more than doubled in opcrativ,
occupations; and almost doubled il
such Commercial service occupations
as beauticians, mattresses, and cook.
! outside OF private families.
