The Grand Jury investigation, re
quested by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Wendell Berge, in charge of
the Criminal Division, was handled
for the Department by united Stat
es Attorney Herbert S. Phillips
SHERIFF INDICTED
The Grand Jury also returned an
indictment on two counts charging
Jeff Wiggins, Sheriff of Glades
County, with working county pris
oners on his own farm in violation
of the Federal Civil Rights and Anti
Slavery statutes.
Negro M
ment of Negroes:
(1) Negroes just Can’t Do the
Work—"The NewPort News Ship
building and Drydock Company em
ployes more than 6,000 Negroes as
machine operators, outside machin
ists, stage biuiders, riggers, bolters,
drillers, regulators, chippers, cau'k
ers, blacksmiths and skilled, semi
skilled and unskilled workers in a
dozen other categories-When the
defense program was launched
there had been sufficient employ
ment of Negroes by American in
dustry to convince most people that
Negroes, as individuals and when
subjected to the usual processes of
training and selection, can do any,
type and all types of production )
jobs." |
w negroes and whites Just
Won’t work Together.—“The best
answer to this one is a simple truth:
Negroes and Whites do work toget
her. They are working together in
plants like Ford, Kelsey Hayes,
Murray Corporation, and others in
plants like Bethlehem Shipbuilding
and the Denver ordnance Plant....
in the shipyards of Virginia and
North Carolina-in the iron and
coal fields of Alabama. .in all parts
of the country.’’
(3) The Unions Won’t Let Us
Hire Negroes.—“Less than two doz
en of the more than 200 major un
ions in this country' have constitu
tional bans against Negro workers,
In many cases of union discrimin
ation the Government has stepped
in to get for Negroes full member
ship or work permits. An employ
er who meets union resistance fo
his attempts to hire Negroes may
invoke the full support of the Fed
eral Government, the President of
the United States, and the heads of
both major labor groups.’
(4) We’re only interested in in
duction.—“The employment ot
groes is a production factor . . i. a
less American industry ui-es ..»
ified Negro workers, and ■ • -
thousands of additional Nog'"-*
just as we train white men nmi *.>
men, we cannot have full pro f
tion.”
Under the title, ‘‘What ’’pu Can
Do About It,” the pamphlet linns
seven steps which employers can
take to utilize fully the Negro labor
market:
“(I) See to it that the fair em
ployment policy of your company is
in fact the policy of all of your
company’s agents.
“(2) If you have a union in your
plant, seek its help. A policy which
the workers help to make will have
their support.
“(3) Enlist the aid of Negro or
ganizations and of the United Stat
es Employment Service in getting
qualified Negro personnel These
organizations are prepared to help
you get trained men.
‘‘(4.) As you hire Negroes for the
factory, hire them also for your of
fices. There are thousands of cap
ale Nebgro clerical workers.
<‘(5) When you the employment
of women, consider Negro women
also. Hundreds of them are al
ready employed in war production—
we need the additional thousands
now available.
“(6) Enlist the cooperation of
your supervisory personnel and see
that they secure the cooperation of
your workers.
"(7) Give Negroes in your plant;
training opportunities equal to
those you give to white workers.
Study should be given to the local
supplies of Negro labor so as to de
vise programs for the training and
employment of workers in capac
ities which will make them most
productive. These things cannot be
done overnight. They must be an
ticipated and planned. In a word,
since such employment is generally
inevitable steps should be taken,
now' to start it. Many sound man
agements realize this and are acting
accordingly. Their numbers must
be increased if w'e are to meet our
production goals.”
President Roosevelt’s Executive
rder 8802, reaffirming a policy of
full participation in the defense pro
gram by all persons, regardless of
race, creed, color or national origin,
is quoted on the back of the pamph
let.

A Tribute
to Wendell Willkie
“WENDELL L. WILLKIE”
(by Myrtle M. Goodlow)
Thank God for Wendell L. Willkic,
Who has the foresight to see
The road that leads to victory
He too has read the writing on
the wall,
And made it clear to all—
Darker races will not continue
To be crushed and held in slavery
too
By the leaders of mankind
Who are color blind
The writing on the wall is plain to
read—
And the Allied nations should all
take heed
For it was written clearly
In India’s reply to Great Britain,
Nothing less than complete free
dom—
Would move her to action—
Freedom now and not some fut
ure date
And when the liberty of all is at
stake,
Surely Britain will not wait until
too late
And continue to hold the darker
races down—
While our enemies gain ground.
For the color bar may also be
The bar to final victory.
And the open door to slavery.
The world well knows,
That American Negroes
Are not asleep but wide awake
Fighting a world erf prejudice and
hate
Upon two fronts at once,
But we are willing our all to stake,
And the supreme sacrifice to
make,
For we are confident that in the
final end,
Freedom^ shall be granted to all
men,
And we too shall have equal rights
Beneath the Stars and Stripes,
For our fathers, brothers and sons
Are on the four corners of the
earth,
Fighting for the four freedoms.
And dying fo rthe land of their
bith,
And the naked tuth is sad.
Dying for freedom they have nev r
had,
They are martyrs for the cause
liberty.
And heroes whose names shall be
written on the pages of futme
history.
For they are now playing tin n
roll,
In the air: on the land and sea
That shall decide the fate Cf . "
humanity.
And on Heaven's sacred scroP.
We again shall read 'with pride
The names o four heroes who fig.,
and died.
So enslaved peoples evcrywwn -
Freed from chains they now bear -
—May left their voice ar.d ring.
With a happy heartfelt ring—
That only the righteous truth
can bring,
“LET FREEDOM RING.”
