.\abor Board Says
/Equal Pay For
Equal Work
Washington ? The National
War Labor Board today unanimouslyruled
tliat wage classifications
based solely on differ,
ence in race were without validity.
and ordered the abolition of
pay differentials between white
and Negro workers performing
equalwork.
The Board directed the Southport
Petroleum Company of
Texas City, Texas, to grant wage
increases to its Negro employees
which would "place them on a
basis of economic parity with
white workers in the same classification."
..'In a fr-reachiug opinion, Dr.
Frank P. Graham, public member
o fthe Board and President
o fthe University of North Carolina.
eXDlained the Board's do
cisiou. Dean Wayne L. Morse,
public member, who did not
*,? participate in the decision on
this case ,asked special permission
to be recorded as concurring
in Dr. Graham's opinion.
The text of the opinion is
attached.
1 The Board directed the company
to institute a reclassifica'
tion system and to grant in each
classification a wage increase of
either 6 per cent or 5 V4 per cent,
whichever is higher. These increases
will not bring the rates
at the Southport field above the
minimum of the wage bracket
in the prevailing range of rates
for other oil fields in the area.
The company's employees are
i'..J represented by the Oil WorkerB
o.i. International, CIO.
