Instead—Pinkham's Sanative Wash
Is an effective “bacteriostatic” (a newi

It not only discourages growth of

Misconception About Up
grading Workers and
White Collar Jobs Seen
As Periling Negro Em
ployment Chances
BY DAN GARDNER
The phrases, "upgrading workers"
and "white collar positions” have
done more economic harm to the Ne
gro than any other factor outside of
outright refusal of white firms and
employers to hire colored help.
The original purpose of the drive
to have Negro workers upgraded in
avrious industries and to open more
doors for white collar workers have
had an opposite effect on the Negro
labor front. The situation is this:
Negro workers who are not suited for
upgrading and those who do not have
the training and background for
white collar jobs are demanding new
ratings and advancement and confus
ing the issue by trying to exchange a
maid’s job for that of a secretary.
Refuse “Heavy” and “D'rty" H'crk
For almost two years, informed
sources reveal, many lucrative jobs
have gone a-begging or have been tak
en by white workers because Negroes
are refusin to do "heavy” or "dirty"
work. The thousands of jobs vail
ab!e in private industry and in the
vast field of domestic labor, are be
ing slowly but surely filled—and per
manently—by Italian, Irish, Swedish.
German, Polish, Hungarian, Filipino,
and in many instances, by Chinese
and Japanese—because Negroes are

turning down traditional jobs as por
ters, cooks, maids, dishwashers, jan.
tors, elevator operators, bellhops,
countermen, truck drivers, laundress
es and soforth.
The spread of this alarming and
disconcerting phase of our labor sit
uation is growing daily. Negro mi
grants from points in the deepest
south to labor-hungry areas in the
Nrrth such as New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Los Angeels, Detroit,
Cleveland, ary, Pittsburgh, Youngs
town, Ohio, and Newark, pose as a
major problem in the labor pool.
Many of these people are unab'e th
read and write, yet they have heard
the magic words “upgrad:ng” and
“white collar" jobs somewhere and
are in northern commimit'es seeking
such.- employment.

uor. They don’t take advantage of
educational opportunities that would
reprove their status. They are ever
ready to holler "discrimination” when
whiles who study for improvement
are moved ahead of them.
The unhappy thing about it all is
tiiat our labor leadership has done
little or nothing to create a more fa
vorable situation out of which some
hope for the better can be seen.
Unskilled Negro labor has not been
sufficiently brought under control
where it can be placed where it be
longs.
It has not been thoroughly emphas
ized that “upgrading’ and “white col
lar" jobs are for those who are qual
itied and not for the maid, the butler,
the cook, the yardboy, or the laund
ress, unless they have thorouhly pre
pared for such advancement.
Soldiers Returning for Jobs
With the postwar period figurat
ively just around the corner and the
fact that millions of the members of
our armed forces will be returned to
civilian life and thus to active com
petition for the available jobs at
hand, some manner of controlling the
domestic and inskilled labor situation
must be devised and put into operat
ion immediately. Among the millions
of GI’s who will be hunting jobs in
the very near future will be thousands
who are expecting to return to the
very jobs foolish Negroes are spurn
ing today. White elevator operators,
white countermen,, white cooks, white
janitors and bellhops, white truck
drivers and laundresses, as well as
porters, will swarm all over jobs a
vaiiablp in these categories.
Thf Negro’s outlook should be to
keep all the jobs which have been
traditionally called "Negro jobs" and
aod to them all others that he can
get. The idea should be to control
completely the vast field of domestic
service; to be the main source of un
skilled labor and then press forward
in other fields through rapid and
thorough training of people to fill
the positions that crop up.
1 f Negroes continue complaining
that they can’t do this and that kind
of work because it is “too dirty”, or
“derading” or “too heavy", they’ll
wake up one of these/ mornings and
fuid Poles, Irish, Italian and other
foreign-born workmen holding down
the jobs and getting the pay envelop
es that would ordinarily go to Negro
workers.
Situation in Hollywood.
in a measure, the current campaign
in Hollywood to discourage studios
from writing, maid, servant, cook,
and yard boy parts into moving pic
tures which show Negroes as tradit
ionally in a domestic category shows
evidence of action without thorough
thinking out the consequences. While
all thinking people, white and colored
agree that the “dis heah” and “dat
dan" dialect, and the low, vulgar slap
j stick of chattering teeth and rolling
eyes with which the movies constantly
depict the Negro must be eliminated,
1 it is also apparent that the jobs and
cateers of hundreds of Negroes in
the movie industry are in jeopardy if
; the studios once get the idea that Ne
1 groes don't want to be shown as
! maids and porters. In such a case,
it isn't hard af all to place white peo
ple in their places.
The strategy in Hollywood would
thus tie in with a general program
of getting and holding all the porter,
maid, cook and yard boy parts in the
movies plus adding to our labor pool
such parts that call for the desired
characterization of the Negro. This
j is ? matter of bread and meat, a bed
| to sleep on, and a house to live in.
Impractical theories and viewpoints
about some starry-eyed hope for the
future should not be allowed to com
pete with actualities. Yet, the actual
