The force Of economic cir
cumstance" will break down
discrimination in this coun-
try, probably within the next
ten years, and will give women
and other groups a chance at
jobs they never had before.
Secretary Of Labor James P.
Mitchell said yesterday.
I'VE cannot much longer in
dulge ourselves in the prac-
tees that discriminate against
people for race. color or creed"
the Labor Secretary told the
first Women's Conference Of
the International Union of
Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO,
m Getting at the Shoreham
Hotel.
Secretary Mitchell urged his
listeners-who represented APP
proximately 100000 women
electrical workers in over so
cities-and women generally to
support legislation now before
Congress providing equal pay
for equal work.
These discriminatory prac-
tices have more to do with our
inability to achieve a higher
standard Of living in this coun-
try than any other single ia
tor" Mr.. Mitchell said.
An expected population in
crease of % million by 1865
will mean a tremendous in
crease" in the need for goods
and services. the Labor Secre-
tary said. This means that If
employers are going to meet
the demands of their custom
ers, they will have to give
women jobs they never had
before"
Improved training and edu-
eational opportunities must be
made available to women to
prepare them for this. he
added.

Survey have now been mail
ed to business and industrial
establishments on ST. Croix,

Pilot studies in other areas
have demonstrated the FEAST
bility of ascertaining long

on a COMMUNICATIVE basis.
The current Job Opportuni-

employment opportunities in
this community, but also fur
nish primary data on employ
ment trends in specific occu-
pational categories.
Information concerning the
current and prospective needs
of our community employers
for workers in specific occu-

study. These needs will be
balanced against training acti-
vities now u Underway in the
locality which will provide a
basis for measuring the effec-

Employers are asked to give
careful consideration to the

the 5-yard line for the first score.
The next time Blair got its
hands on the ball Dave Blanche

the second touchdown. From then
on it was never in doubt. Blanche
scored twice more and Goss added
two on runs of % and 80 yards.
On the long run Goss stole the
ball out of the hands of Wheaton
receiver Tom Anderson on the
Blair 10-yard line and raced all
the way. Brown scored on a o.

other scores.

Blair found another hero to
