To prove these statements, all on*
has to do is look at the wholesale

lEES LABOR GAINS DUBIOUS
And it is difficult to see how
nuch actual gain the Negro made
n organized labor. With the war
ing full-blast, Negroes were tak-
n into unions in droves, and they
•ere given nearly all types of
jobs. But that was during a nation-
. emergency. With the faucet which
ormcrly poured job? on a work-
•arved nation, turned down to a
mere trickle, and with the picture

American Negro on V-J-Day. We
had the oppcrtunlty, but. In most
cases, we missed the boat. We went
