Not Sharing In
Boom On Jobs

NEW YORK ~(SNS)~President

Rocsevelt was notified Thursday
May 8, that the Negro people of
the country will suffer serichsly if
impending slashes in WPA funds
become a reality.

Those who argue for the cut
state that because of the defense
program there is less need for the
WPA since workers will be going
into private employment.

In a letter to the President,
Waiter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advanc~ment of Colored People, made it

clear that there is notorious discrimination on the part of *employers, some labor unions and

some officials in national] defense
work. This fact alone means thai
Negroes will constitute, through
no fault of their own; an increasingly large propottion of the WPA
rolls.

In addition, the President wa:

~reminded, there are comparativels

few defense industries in the
South where the largest number of
people on WPA are Negroes, and
even now hundreds are waiting assignment to the -lists, but lack of

funds. keeps them off.

If WPA is drastically reduced, it
was pointed out, Negro and white
workers who are denied opportunities in~ private employment. will
be thrown on lecal charity which.
because of increased taxes, may
not be able to support them.

~We contend that it is not unreasonable to ask, the letter con
cludes, ~that until such time as
the barriers to employment in
private industry which face Ne
groes ave broken down that they
should not be deprived ef WPA employment. Negroes don~t want to
stay on WPA, but conditions bevond their control catise most. of
