Kaiser Defies Union by Using Negro Workers : Portland, Ore., Oct. 21 WV The Henry J. Kaiser company shipyard at Vancouver, Wash., stood firm today-behind a de- cision to use negro workers in! skilled jobs despite protests byj AFL unions. I Tom Ray, Boilermakers' Union ; business agent, demanded that j the company limit negroes to common labor and segregate their living quarters from the! white workers. He said the Portland Metal Trades Council and J. A. Frank lin, International Boilermakers' president, supported him. In a press conference yester day Ray assured the company of violating1 a labor stabilization agreement by elevating from common labor 23 of the 100 ne groes recently recruited in New York. They are now in train ing for journeymen's jobs, Ray said. Edgar F. Kaiser, son of Henry J. Kaiser and general manager of the shipyard, in a statement in Washington, D.C., denied vio lation of any agreement and said that the real issue was racial dis crimination. His company, Kaiser said, is under a federal contract requir ing employers not to discrimi nate against any worker, regard less of race, creed or color. Ray said the reason for his protests were two-fold: ( 1 ) The negroes were pro moted faster than several thou sand journeymen's helpers who have worked more than six months without being admitted to training classes. (2) White men were living in dormitories with negroes despite a company promise that separate quarters would be provided. Boston Black Coffee Market Boston, Oct.. 21 W) -A hus band's dissatisfaction with cof fee that his wife said she had been "lucky to get" has led to exposure of an extensive black market in Massachusetts and a promise by OPA officials that it will be wiped out. OPA investigators said they had discovered coffee adulterat ed with cereal, sales above ceil ing, prices and apparent viola tions of war production board sales quotas. The investigation bureau, John M. Russci, OPA enforcement at torney, related last night, when a Fitchburg man protested to his wife about the quality of the morning coffee. She had retained a sales slip showing that she paid 45 cents a pound for it. The husband thereupon turned the coffee over to the OPA, which found that it was of an inferior grade. The investigators went to the store where it was purchased and found that the store ob tained it from a peddler. The peddler ' obtained it from a wholesaler who got it from a roaster. From there, the In vestigation led to 12 other whole salers served by the roaster and to scores of retailers served by the wholesalers, the investiga tors announced. Inspectors said wholesalers were allowed by WPB order to sell but 65 per cent of the quan tity sold in the corresponding quarter of last year, and that one wholesaler who sold 10,269 pounds in September, 1941, sold 42,098 pounds last month.

Mobilization Bill For War Production Washington, Oct. 21 U.R War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt today said he expected within two weeks to submit to President Roosevelt proposed legislation to mobilize men and women for war production- He said bills now pending fail to meet such a program's basic re quirements McNutt told the senate mill- i tary affairs committee that a WMC management-labor policy committee is now drafting the legislation. He said the commit tee does not believe that a law should be adopted by congress until all indirect means available for mobilizing manpower are ex hausted. Womanpower will be required to solve the manpower problem, he- added, because 5,000,000 Club Hears Mrs. Barnes If life of a foreign correspon dent is a fascinating one, as she declared, so was the story of many years in Europe as told by Mrs. Ralph Barnes lb" the Kiwanis club and their wives Tuesday noon.' Mrs. Barnes lived in Paris, Rome, Moscow and Germany un til Barnes was placed in charge of a bureau at London, Barnes was expelled from Germany because of a story he wrote that did not appear in the New York Herald-Tribune until a year lat er, in which he predicted that Germany and Russia would be at war within one or two years at the latest. His prediction came true a year and two days later. Shopping difficulties and also living conditions were interest ingly portrayed by Mrs. Barnes. She described Moscow as a com bination of the east and the west and a "miserable place for a per son with a sensitive nose," Meals were never planned, she said, because no one knew what was obtainable until the markets were visited.. Mrs. Barnes displayed a letter to her husband signed by Stalin in 1933. Delay Cut in Newsprint Washington, Oct. 21 VP) An nouncing formation of a news paper industry advisory commit tee, Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the war production board gave assurance today that the propos ed cut in newsprint production would be' delayed until the in dustry has had an opportunity to consult on effects of the cur tailment. The committee's first meeting will be hel dhere October 27. The proposed 10 per cent reduc tion in paper output was high on the agenda, along with the American Newspaper Publish er's association's own plan to conserve newsprint, transporla tion and labor. The industry plan, outlined in the ANPA bulletin in April, pro posed a decrease in the number of editions, elimination of " turns" and sample copies, and other technical steps to save scarce materials. Nelson, pointing out that war time scarcities have brought newspapers face to face with " number of operating problems,' declared:. "It is felt in the WPB that all of these problems should be discussed with representatives of the industry and all possible solutions explored." Also scheduled for considera tion are the manpower shortage developing in the industry, the effect of curtailed supplies of copper, zinc, steel stitching wire, and vital chemicals, as well as metal salvage problems. 100 GirisWanted For Soldiers' Dance Unless several more Junior Hostess league members sign up at the Hostess headquarters for dances at Camp Adair Friday night several soldiers will be without dancing partners . that evening.

McNutt said national service legislation "must do more than grant sweeping authority to the president." He . listed these as the three essential powers that must be provided: 1. Authority to require em-': ploycrs in any area to hire all I workers through a central agen cy, the U. S. employment ser-l vice,, or through other central hiring systems, such as union hiring halls, if they meet speci fied standards." 2. Authority to control meth ods of labor utilization, prevent ing transfer of workers' from a plant where they are needed to one where the demand is caused solely by improper utilization of labor or a desire to hoard workers." 3. Authority to compel indi viduals to remain on the job or to transfer to another. "Each of the bills now before the committee fails to meet one or more of these basic require ments of national service legisla tion," McNutt said. "The power to keep men on jobs," he added, "or to send them to jobs, should not be per mitted to be the instrument for undercutting established wage standards. "On the other hand, no indi vidual can be promised that the power of assignment will not require him to make sacrifices."
