The T,ews Letter, based on data gathered in all parts of the country, and on over 500 industrial management reports, reveals that in a current study of 300 \Yar plants "only 68 reports listed absenteeism as a special problem among these workers." The newness of the worker, his insecurity on the job, and transportation problem" were found to be important factors relating to absenteeism in these 68 reports. "The failure of many companies to provide training and upgrading opportunities for "regroes is the most frequent cause of poor job attendance," sa i d Julius A. Thomas, director of the League's Department of Industrial Relations. "We found that absenteeism is no great factor when Negro employees are upgraded, and given a chance to work at their highest skills." Numerous complaints about the work habits of Negro women faded into thin air when actual evidence was sought. One industry which employs 5000 Negro women reports no difficulty. But anal} is of working conditions in another plant in which 200 of the 500 women employees are Negroes showed that good personnel practices had not kept pace with the rapid expansion of the plant.

It is believed that one proposal called for the acceptance of the principle of the international trusteeship over dependent peoples with the understanding that no concerto application of the principle would be made by the UNCIO. The question of military bases was dodged by omitting it from that part of the proposal. Another proposal would be that military bases be operated br the country having the. greatest military power in the area with final control vested in a commission of the security body. All of this is more or less after the pattern of the old league of nations mandates commission. The main difference in the proposals of the U. S. delegation will be that the new trustee body will have the power of inspection and report. This means that any nation holding a mandate will be compelled to maintain certain standards of conduct in its administration. crank case and bearings, will have specific time limits, Hosea R.

The action is being taken to check a practice in sorne repair shops of charging customers for more hours of labor than were actually required to do the particular re~air job, Evans pointed out. Within a few weeks distribution of copies of a special OPA supplementary regulation giving ceiling charges for the 56 repair jobs will be made through local OPA boards. After June 14, each shop must have a copy of the new regulation on hand for inspection by customers on request, Evans said. Participate in all creditable civic programs.

This newspaper reserves the right to print for publication all press dispatches, features and photos forwarded by these agencies or otherwise credited to them. ~·· ANOTHER SUGGESTED PLAN One glaring truth blandly exposing itself for the benefit of th~se who care to observe is the indisputable fact that the Negro Commumty of Portland is gradually disentegrating. Accentuating this program of decay is the blase and lackadaisical attitudes of the Negro people relative to all pertinent social issues. In practically every quarter of Negro activity the prominently functioning individuals are continuing to four-flush, day dream and carry on a foolish practice of .glorymongering. The fact that there is little courage and aggressiveness among this people is becoming more noticeable daily. The l~ck of unity on the part of those who feel they are fit to lead and the1r ~ersisting in keeping alive personal antagonism and time-worn gnevances portends to stulify completely all progress that may be made by the members of this minoritr group. Here of late the Negroes have shown a strong tendency to revel in delusions of grandeur ·which center around a few mad ideas about their non-existent but pretended self-sufficiency. On the other hand, these same persons are infamously known to bow and scrape in the presence of petty white politicians and law enforcement authorities. The damage to result from such folly is obvious even to the mentally deranged. Many evils gain momentum while the main body of the Negro people and its leadership sit idly by. For instance, it is doubtful if there has been one case recorded in the last fifteen months where a Negro was charged with a crime and had a trial by jury that he was not convicted and sentenced. It is doubtful if a checkup of the records in the county clerk's office would even show any marked extensions of lenienc-y to any Negro. The same can be said of cases that have to be tried before most of the judges here. In this matter conditions have reached a point where a Negro must accept a criminal conviction if he is charged with a crime even if he is not proven qulty. Once reason for this is that it is practically impossible. to find an impartial and unprejudiced jury. When lawyers defendmg Negro clients conduct the usual inquisitions to determine if jurors harbor racial prejudices they are unable to get admissions on this score from those whom they question. Moreover, the division which now exist throughout the ranks of the Negro community prevents the concentraton of an effective group program to alter such situations. These factors, however, will have tremendous influence upon the employment of Negroes in the post war period. For example, it will not be long before character references will be far more necessary to gain job privileges than they have been during the war era. At the present time, more than ten petty organizations embodying Negro functionaries who express only subjective and inconsequential intentions and futile ambitions are in existence. This does not include the many similar groups that are to be found in the war housing projects in this area. All of them claim to have programs designed to resist discrimination and segregation. It is needless to say that all of this overlapping on the same theme is disgusting and superfluous. Not one of these groups will ever be effective in a single endeavor because the persons whom they must influence know before hand that they have only factional backing and do not offer overall representation. There are only two organizations with offices here that have the machinery to promote any basic changes in the race relations structure of this country and community as far as Negroes are concerned and involved. These are the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Urban League. National organizations are undoubtedly far more effective in the struggles to better the conditions of oppressed peoples because they are capable of taking an ebjective position based upon a nation-wide abusive situation. In recent weeks many incidents have occurred to show the Negro people how determined the "Profes~onal Negro Lovers" are to increase the division that already exist within the ranks of this minority. They have imported skillful Negro informers into this community many times to explain in detail the various limitations that surround Negro activity in every field. These figures serve well the white persons who seek to capitalize upon the current efforts of minorities to gain recognition and opportunity by using these attempts as mediums to catapault themselves into dominant and authoritative community posts. They find it very valuable and profi~-[ Color In Frisco There is plenty of color m evidence at the UNCIO at San Francisco.

With this knowledge at their disposal these persons frequently make arrangements for affairs of this sort where an interesting practice of acceptance and exclusion of various Negro personages is carried out. This is usually done in a veiled, subtle manner. It would be the height of redundancy to say that such tactics create a condition of total disruption throughout the ranks of the Negro population. This column has no chosen or picked Negro figure to indorse as the panacea bringers for the Negro people residing in this area. And by the same token it does not accept all overtures of deep concern and interest that many whites appear to evoke over this long-labeled N egro problem. There is an acid test for all of these professed \Yell-wishers and self-appointed saviors. Firstly, the Negroes must dissolve all of their personal antagonisms and grievances. The ministers, professional persons~ interested workers, labor representatives and social work functionaries must assemble to determine how they can collectively assist the programs of the two national Negro organizations that have representation in this community. They must then resolve themselves to carry forth, in every respect, a program that will develop an impenetable united front to the white supremacists and the economic and political reactionary groups. If this is done the Negro will witness the flight and evacuation of many p~uedo-liberals from the scene of the Negro struggle. Only the honest and sincere individuals will remain to contribute to ·what, in all probability, will be a successful attempt to g:ain a greater measure of respect and justice for the Negro living in this area.

The unanimous decision of the arbitration board, in addition to giving the employees a majority voice in the hospital's management, likewise ordered a substantial increase in company contributions for on-duty injuries and provided for an annual report of hospital finances. The board of managers is delegated the po,nr to manage business and financial af~airs, including tha authority to amend hospital rules, increase or reduce the scale of individual employee cntributions and pass upon the appointment o fthe Chief Surgeon and his staff. T he far-reaching imp] ication of the award springs from the unanimous acceptance' of the arbitrators of the principal of "no taxation without representation". And the showing that 93% of the hospital department income "·as derived from compulsory employee contributions, the board of arbitrators awarded majority control t<: the labor organizations.
