changed their hiring policies and
have increased the number of oppor-
tunities for Negroes. Statistics se-
cured from the 23 leading indus-
tries show that from May to Sep-
tember there was a 33 percent in-
crease in the employment of Ne-
groes.
4. Approximately 14,900 women
entered the war employment in
Baltimore between July and De-
ceber. Since October, they have
entered the war industries at the
rate of 1,009 a week. Emplojmcnt
of women has increased 81 percent.
5. Although in-imigration has
net been entirely eliminated, all cm
ployers in Baltimore are now clear-
ing through USES before they do
any recruiting, scouting or advertis-
ing outside the city. 1 “
6. The over-all turnover pro-
blem has been reduced, but volun-
tary “quits’’ continue at a high rate.
That section of the report deal-
ing with the Negro has this to say:
"Training facilities for both Negro
men ana women have been alnicst
doubled as a result of the activities
cf the WMC wnich arranged for
the opening of a new training cen-
ter for Negroes ea'ly in October.
One firm which employed Negroes
only ir service occupations have,
aenng the course of the year, utiliz-
ed both Negro men and women in
a variety of semi-skilled occupa-
tions.
But if the American High
Command cannot use its color- ..
cd combat troops wittacut em-
barrassment on the one hand
and huni'iiatien on the other,
then it would be bettei is, they
wire brigade dwith one ot eur
allies. Russia, or China. Let our
colored airen fly ' with the
dauntless eagles of Soviet Rus-
in the last war in order to lim-
it the association ot American
colored soldiers with their white
comrades in arms, the Ameri-
can High Command made ri-
rangements to brigade Ameri-
can colored combat troops with
lhe French And that is the
reason why the 369th. 370th,
371st «md 372nd Infantry regi-
ments were attached tc French
divisions and that is the reason
why their combat record was
so much more bi illiant than the
combat record of the 92nd di-
vision. Few people are aware
tf the fact that these American
colored regiments wore French
helmets, used French equip-
ment and had practically no
contact with American army
until after the war was over.
The 92nd division was shoved
around from place to place.
How to use it and keep the two
races absolutely separate be-
came a question that gape the
American High Command no
little trouble and a great deal
of worry. Its artillery brigade
was kept in training until the
queries and exclamations cf the
French High Con mand literally
compelled the Commander of
the A. E. F. to assign it to the
division, bat that was only done
after all its colored commission-
ed officers save one or two
were removed from the brigade.
The 92nd became the dumping
ground for a great many white
officers of dubious competence.
Its chief of staff, Lt. Colonel Al-
len E. Greer, Memphis, Tennes-
eee, was more disturbed about
Negro soldiers and French mad-
emoiselles than about the Ger-
mans.
We recall these antics of the
American High Command in the
last war because unless there
are changes in the attitude and
policy of the War Department,
the same thing will happen in
this war, if it hasn’t happened
already.
If colored American enlisted
men ar.d officer:, are tu bn sub-
jected to humil ttino and insult
and if the Aerican Higa Com-
mand is more concerned with
maintaining the separation of
the white American ^soldiers .
