Here again. there was no open
opposition, although q few re-
sentful remarks came to US In
directly from girls in departments
whose work was closely allied TO
Personals. We watched the sit
uation CAREFUL, but made no COM
ment about II; and in a few weeks
at least one OF the critics had be-
come an enthusiastic booster of
the new employee. Her work was
markedly better than that OF her
white predecessor; and her tact
full, quiet ways won her friend
ships which have lasted to this
day.
After eight years, she is still
with us. and has advanced to a re-
sponsible job which calls for con-
tinual employee contacts having
to do with administration of our
group insurance plans and other
personnel matters.

tinued to be quite seiective, parti-
cularly in our employment Of Ne

Fair employment practice legis.
lauon was enacted in Connecticut

start an active program Of fair
employment started some years
before. Like most other plants, we
had a few Negro employees doing
maintenance and trucking jobs at
the time we decided to expand op-
portunities for Negroes in a more
positive way. We began first to
try to fill some machine, assembly
and other skilled or semi-skilled
shop jobs with Negroes. We ac-
complished this wothout oppod-
ton, although a grapevine report
did reach us that a few employees
were afraid we were trying to
fill the plant with cheap labor at
the expense of everyone elses jobs
and earning.
Although this was a reaction
Of the type we had more or less
expected, we felt IL was not
really widespread. and made no
issue of II, continuing instead
to add other skilled Negroes
