EQUAL JOB OPPORTUNITIES
FOR ALL, IS POLICY OF ANTI
FASCIST WAR PLANT HEAD
Chicago, April 3 (ANP) Abra
ham Rubin, vice president of the Na
tional Smelting Co., of Cleveland, re
cently proved himself a real anti
fascists, pro-labor employer, in his
fight against racial discrimination and
by giving Negroes full equality in
job opportunities and upgrading a!
his 100 percent war plant.
At his war plant which employs
140( Negro and white workers, Ne
I groes work as foremen supervising
| white workers; white and Negro
workers take training courses in skill
ed trades side by side; the chairman
of the executive shpo committee is a
Negro and the plant physician is a
prominent Negro doctor. Negroes
are active in all sport around the
plant.
Declaring that he is eager to sec
mixed teams in the major leagues and
segiegation abolished from the armed
iorces, Rubin believes that such chang
es would aid in bringing about an
early end of the war. Rubin, a thor
ough pro-unionist, insists that a
strong labor movement is a major bul
wark against fascism.
His workers are 100 percent organ
ized by the Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers Union, CIO. Union lead
ers and plant executives serve on a
labor management committee, which
actively promotes employe health and
welfare, athletic programs, safety
measures against industrial accidents.
Asserting that men are men “re
gardless of the color of their skins,
Iheit ancestry or their names,” Rubin
is emphatic in his idea that “men of
lifferent races, origins, religions, can
work side by side in harmony and
good will.”
“We haven’t built an interracial
utopia at the plant, ’’ the executive
explains, “we’ve still got a long way
to go. White workers don’t easily
give up the prejudices inculcated in
them from childhood. Negro work
ers don’t lose quickly the resentments
and suspicions built up by years of
undemocratic discriminations and hu
miliations imposed upon them. We
aicne can’t change the unfavorable
off-the-plant environment of our Ne
gro workers. But we can and must
help abolish racial discrimination ev
erywhere. It poses the greatest
single challenge to American democ
racy.’'
Rubin, 52 years old, started as an
"it and boy in the smelting plant he
now heads, 30 years ago. He strong
ly advocates “equal job opportunities
for all.”
EDGAR BROWN BEATING

REVEAL NEGRO WORKERS
DEFEATED UTSEA
Washington. April 6 (ANP)—The
setback encountered two weeks ago b\
the Unitel Transport Service Employ
es of America (CIO) in a plant wide
election of the Pullman company
held under the National (Railway)
Mediation board, again focuses atten
tion upon the Negro in the labor1
movement.
Organziing efforts had been going
on for sometime by representative: of
the UTSEA, whose president, Will
ard S. Townsend is a member of the
CIO executive board. The drive was
broad and thorough, and the only com
petition was that offered by the Pull-,
man Shop Employes association, a
company union.
Approximately 3,000 ballots were
cast by both Negro and white wotk
ers in which they were given the priv
ilege of selecting their bargaining i
gent. The UTSEA was defeated hv
the narrow margin of 187 votes, and
it was Negro workers who handed
them the defeat.
In St. Louis alone about vOO Negro
es cast their votes for the compan
union. In Atlanta, again large nun,
bers of Negroes supported the «vn
ploves association while many of tile
whites in that bias-ridden state of
Georgia were willing to accept
UTSEA with its Negro preside) i a
thing that was made much of by the
opposition.
The CIO affiliate scored heavily in
Richmond, Cal., Buffalo, Wilmington
Del., Calumet and Chicago.
It would have been unsound f r the
L TSEA to have pushed for the elec
tion at this time if their organizers
had known the picture in St. Louis.
Pxp aining the union’s confidence that
all was satisfactory, Townsend said
that “pledges had been received from
almost all of the Negroes, biu they
were unwilling to sign a card. Mi of
them promised to cast their vote tor
I TSEA.” he said, "but entertained
doubts about signing the cirt' It
was hard to red then whethc- they
were actually with us or against us.
