INDUSTRIAL LOOKING GLASS
By Allen W. Powell
An interesting side-light on the matter of labor unions
in their relationship to Xegro members was developed re
cently in Philadelphia that seems to be worthy of comment.
While its significiance may not reach the proportions thaf
many would anticipate, the situation does indicate a facet of
union operators which can be detrimental to the Xegro.
Philadelphia has long been acknowledged as the hub of the
catering industry. From the city’s earliest beginnings stems
a long history of the catering services, many of which have
been Xegro owned and operated, and the unsurpassed quality
of food dispensing affordedl by these firms has been internat
ionally known.
Through all of the years it has been considered the in
violable prov ince of the Xegro waiter and chef to contribute
the backbone of the industry, whether it be in the hotel dining
room, the exclusive restaurant, or the banquet hall.
In recent years, in view of the lucrativeness of the work
and the comparitive dignity of its status, white workers have
seen fit to enter the field, and it was not too long before union
ization was being set into operation. As in many similar cases,
the tendecy became for theunion to displace Xegro workers
with the white union members, by the simple expedient of
excluding the co’ored chef and waiter from membership.
As a result, the plight of the Xegro worker in the industry
is becoming increasingly serious, and while there are still a
good proportion of Brown Americans in the trade, continued
displacement will remove them from the potent status they
have enjoyed. A recent dicision by the local Labor Relations
Board has enabled a Xegro unit to maintain its bargaining
rights with one of the major companies, but it is believed
that the white unions will attempt to make further inroads
into thq industry.
NEGRO ON PHILLY FEPC COMMISSION
Philadelphia,.April (NIPS) With the naming of the Com
mission which .is to administer the recently passed FEPC leg
ation in Philadelphia, it is considered significant in local cir
cles that a Xegro member has been included in the person of
Dr. Tanner Duckrey, prominent civic and educational figure.
Mr. Duckrey has had a wealth of experience in pubilc af
fairs as assistant to the Board of Superintendents of public
school system of Philadelphia has established an enviable rep
utation as an educator. Also, under consideration for the post
was former area FEPC administrator during the life of the
Federal order, G. James Fleming, presently engaged as an
American Friends Service Committee abide. It is reported
that Mr. Fleming may be named in an administrative capac
ity when the personnel is selected.
The remaining members of the Commission include F.
Curtis Davis, Judge Advocate American Veterans of World
War II; Hon. Gerald F. Flood, Common Pdeas Court judge and
noted Catholic lay leader; Norman Blumberg, vice president
of the Central Labor Union; and Louis B. Raycroft, former
War Manpower Commission head, and now coordintor for
yeterans reemployment for the Labor Department.

Vacation-A New Beach (Nips)
Your vacation plans may now include a safe and delightful
stay in Florida. The entire country is welcoming a new devel
opment known as Bethune Andulusia Beach. Mary McLeod
Bethune has again opened the way. This ti meit is a year-round
resort of the finest type, just below Daytona Beach, where
Negroes may enjoy the surf, sun and sand of the Florida coast.
The purchase of this beach represents an economic and cultural
advance for all of the people, many Observers agree.
Job Opportunity (Nips)
The Chicago area is boasting of regaining many losses
in jobs which may have occured during reconversion. The
1947 rating indicates that 97.4 per cent of all non-whites are
back on the job. Employers ae still holding back higher paid
brackets and highly skilled work. Only four per cent of the
job openings secured were white-collar or professional oc
cupations.
Employment Field Openings For Women (Nips)
The fields in which employment opportunities over the
nation have broadened include public transportation, telephone
industry, banking and salesmanship, public health and public
sendee jobs.
National Fire Waste Council (Nips )
The National Fire Waste Council was organized in 1922
at the suggestion of the Council of State Governors and is
now sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. It promotes fire prevention campaigns and at the same
time services fire prevention committees of chambers of com
merce throughout the United States.
The Chamber recently announced the election of the Na
tional Association of Mutual Insurance Agents to member
ship in the National- Fire Waste Council, making for a total
of 35 national organizations in the set-up.
New Department (Nips)
The proposal for a new department, to be known as the
Department of Public Health and Welfare, has caused con
siderable discussion in Washington. The following agencies
would be assembled under a new cabinet officer: Social Secur
ity, Administration, Public Health Serve. Office of Education,
Bureau of Employees Compensation and Women’s Bureau.
This new department has long been favored bv experts in the
field. Senate approval is practically certain. The uncertainty
is in the House. _ . .

CBN—My husband left me in
Florida in December without
i word of explanation. When
my job was over, I came on
home. He is here with his fol
ks. He tells me that he doesn't
want a wife anymore, however
he comes around all of the
time and tries to sweetheart
with me. What shall I do?
\ns: Give him a cold shoulder
If he doesn’t want you as his
wife—you should not allow
him the privilees due a hus
band. Take a firm stand and
he will decide in a hurry what
he intends to do.
E. P.—I am writing to ask if
you could give my husband
some advice on how to get his
birth certificate. He is on the
job training and he can’t get
any allowances for his mother
until he gets it. Please advise
us?
Ans: Write the Bureau of Vit
al tatistics. State Capitol, Tal
lohassee, Florida (the state in
which you live) for informat
ion as how to proceed to ob
tain a birth certificate when
there in no record of it on file.
His mother can sign a state
ment and have it notoried as
to when he was born—if he
has a Bi’ble record of his Birth,
it? can be used as evidence—al
so an insurance policy or his
school record. Follow the in
structions sent you and he can
get the certificate.
W. L. G.—I am very much in
love with a boy and I know he
loves me. His mother doesn’t
like me. He tells me he does
n’t care hc«w liis mother feels.
He- wants to marry me and
she can’t stop him. We are
both of age. He is 2SandtI am
20. Advise me what to do?
Ans r. It’s true she can’t prev
ent you from getting married,
but you would feel much bet
ter if yon had her blessing and
approval. Her apparent dis
like for you isn’t so great that
you can’t change her mind.
Treat her with sincere respect
and’kindness and you will gra
dually win her favor.

wrong doings, she ups and lea
ves. Should I let her go for

of it. She is gone again. Tell

ment.
There are many other insta
nces that I have approached
(Continued on page 4)
-Mr. Knudsen on since he has
