STATISTICS REVEAL NEGRO LABORER’S GAINS IN INDUSTRY DURING PRESENT WAR (Continued from page one) branches of irrdusfry, but the .gi'eatest gairrs at'(* re.gistered in seini-skilled and unskill(>d errrjrloytneid. For example, the numlter of Xegroes errrjiloyed as skilled criiftsmen and f'ort'irien dottbled l)etw(>en 1!)40 and 1!)44. Ilitt the irumber rf semi-skilled atrd unskilled lalioi'tn'S also diiubled during tiris period. X’ext to war irrdustries, the largest nttnrber of Xegroes :tre employed in the services. In this group are included domestic servjints and those who ren der personal services, such as cooks, waitresses and beauticians. While the total percerrtage for services remaitred tiractically stable frotrr 1!)4() to 1!)44 that for doirrestic workers dt'cr'eased arrd itrcreased f(U- those engaged in personal activities. 'I'hei'e has lieerr a declitre of 411(1,0(10 in th(' mtrrrber of j white domestics sinc(' l!)4(t due to their migi'ation to thi' war' industries, thus indicating a shift of Xegro woi'kers to the dorrrestic field to fill in the gap. On the strrface, the ]>rospects of the Xegro industrial rnaintainiirg in tlie ])ost war- tire gains he has regisfer(“d in irrdustry dttring tlu> war ai)liear none too bi'ight. Fir'st of all, the Xegro in- hrsti'ial worker's greatest errrirloynient gains have lieeir made in those semi-, skilled anil unskilled factory opera-! lioirs that will suffer the greatest set-, back after the war. fn the next place, the Xegro irrdus-^ trial work(>r''s gi'(‘at(‘st inihistrial ad-i vances have been itr flros(“ industries that will ex]ierience the gri'atest post war- declines. .Arrd since, for the most part, these irrdustries ,-u'e concentI'ated in a few congested Jtreas of the coun- tr'y, the Xegro wor'ker faces the gretit pi'obletrr id' ‘‘iiopulation shifting" or movin,g liack to the old home, after the closing down of man.v of these plants engaged wholly in production for war. It would seem that the Xe.gro in dustrial worker's future hitrges to a grejtf e.xtent n]ion two flrirrgs. First, it hinges ui>on the extent to whiclr in dustries now en,gaged in \\ ar irr:itiufac-, litre will corrvert to production for civilian coirsutnidion. If conversion is widespread, tin' Xe,gro inihtstrial worker- has a better chance of cling ! ing to a job in industry. j Secondly, it hinges upon tlie extent to which Xe.gro irrdustrial workers have iik'irtified themselves with the labor moveirrent and are tliemselves particiiiatin.g and active merrrbers of labor- oi-,ganiz:itiorrs. It is entirely pos sible that seidority, in some phase, will be the importaid factor in the Xegro irrdustrial wiirker's keei)irr,g his Job after the war. Where the X'egro worl-;er Iras iH'en slow to identify himself with the labor- movement he has, at the satrie time, iiar-tially eliminated him self as a candidate, under acceiitable labor- law, for- errrployinent in the post war. Fxper-ierrce lias shown that full pat-- ticjpation in the labor nroverrrerrt is the best niethoil of overcoinin,g reseirtmerrt arrrorrg white woi-kers. (ireater co- opei'ation amorrg Xe.gro wor-kers in the labor movemeid: and laboi- union activ ities today is most essential to tirove to labor officials fliat X'egro wor'kers are rrot orrly irrterested in iire- serving tiie gains made for thenrselve.s but the gaitrs made by labor as a whole. Sttch collective action, then, becomes tfre basis fr-onr wiriclr worker's—all, re- .gardless of i-ac(“, color- or- (-reetl—will come to krrow the connnon character' of their interests. S.

Harry .lames has not been heard froirr ver'y recently, but he is hack a.gaiii now with a rei-ordiii.g of “('on- fessing" and "When Your Lover Has done". liotli ntmibei-s are vet-,y fine. On “('onfessing" Harry actually con tents himself with a iptinfet for a back drop, and the result is a happy one. On "Lover' his band conies on hard.

I’e.ggy Mann sings the first side, definitely the befter of the two, and .lane Harvery sin.gs the other.
