September 25, Negroes In1 Yetv Club to Honor Negro Workmen The formation of a national honor club which will recognize "contributions made by Negro workmen to industrial organizations." has been announced by the Association for Negroes in American Industry, through its national officers. The new unit first of its kind in the United States, will include both men and "women, the announcement said. With approximately 5,000 "charter members" to be selected by the officials of 125 major industries .the club will receive additional names each year "upon recommendation of executives for excellent service records." Members chosen after the closing of the charter ranks, the statement said, will have to have had "ten years of outstanding service." The selection of the unit's membership is being made at a time, the association pointed out, when "upward of two and a half / million Negroes are employed in Industries allied with war interests." and will form only a negligible percentage of those employed even before Pari Harbor. To be known as the "Industrial Emblem Club." the organization will be divided into geographical units which will hold sectional and regional meetings under the auspices of the association "once the problem of wni 11 uuapui idiiuu is uiil ui lilt way." Pointing out that American railroads, with approximately 207,000 Negroes employed, a total which represents a 67,000 increase over 1940, would figure most heavily In the original member allotments, the association statement said that it is "Indicative that the two largest employers of Negro labor in the United States, the Sun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, a ad the Pennsylvania L944 THE FUTUl Chairman For it At Y i at 8:00 o'clock in the 'Y' hulld ing, was announced by G. T. Chnanel, executive secretary. Residence Council The residence council of the "Y* met Sunday, September 17 at 10:30 a. m., to outline ways and means for the development of a better fellowship among the members. At this meeting, C. A. Braithwaite was elected president of the meatfaiKs which will hold devotional hour for tho men of the dormitory. Other officers elected were E. L. Phil lips, secretary, R. L. Brown, treasurer, and G. W. Daifigerfield, sergeant-at-arms. Later in the afternoon the Eveready youth Club met, at which time the following offi cers were elected: Prances Gunn, president: James Kesler, vice president: H. Murrell, secretary: M.

War Service \ I Railroad .are located in this I Commonwealth." , Third on the association's "honor roll" list of employer groups is steel, in which Negro employment reached an all-time high in the summer of 1943. Mining-of coal and basic ores has 1 been listed fourth, while munitions and aviation were listed for the first time. Negro employment in the latter bracket, the 1 association's statement said, "is still lowest of all pursuits directly connected with the war effort." The processing of aluminium, with Negroes largely employed in the mining of bauxite, the metal's ore form, stood out among southern industries, being close to iron and steel in that area and completely outranking textiles, "into which Ne groes have not yet made any appreciable headway In the operation of machines." Shipbuilding in the south kept pace with that industry, generally, during 1943, the statement said, "being second only to railroads." While the move to honor Negro workmen in these brackets "Is long overdue, thei'e has been every evidence of a tendency on the part of the management to appreciate the contributions now being made," the association held. Memberships in the- honor club ,to which industrial heads , are now making recommendai tions, will be closed with award, ing of pins, by responsible ex ecUtives. The association was founded in 1939 and has as Its objective, the building'of goodwill between Negroes and industrial management toward Increased Negro employment and , understanding. Bishop David H. Sims, resident head of the African Meth. odlst church in this area, is the i chairman of the association's board of directors.
