This statement is the point of a letter dispatched to all State WPA Administrators on August 9, 1941, by Hcrward (J. Hunter, Commissioner of Work Pro. jects. Mr. Hunter's letter olso called attention to iSection 24 of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act, fiscal year 1942, in which dts_ crimination against workers be. cause of race, creed, colcrr, or national origin is made unlawful and punishable by fine or imprison. ment, or both. DEFENSE EMPLOYMENT OF NEGRO WOMEN?A yearly av. erage of 90,000 "Negro womenhave gained training and experience on . the work and service projects of | the WPA. This, plus the fact that .many Negro women have been en. I :?;lled "in vocational education | classes <jff the WPA emergency I education program, r/rgues well t for the inclusion of Negro women in those ind.ustrieR regarded as 1 vital to our defense efforts. I Current employment records show that Negro women have se | cured jobs in metal foundries and ! inx plate manufacturing electrica! , goods. Others ere optical equin, ment workers, sheet metal workers, gag mask assembly workers^ I press and punch press operators. | These are regarded ns small be. ginnings?but an opening wedge for n drive to at lepst match the I high employment tigureg oi tne I first World War period. During: that time, Negro women gained a fifty percent increase in the rnanu. , facturing and mechanical induBI tries alone. ! Many Negr<? women, on and off . WPA projects, have kept up with | many technological changes in the I more important productive in., .dustries. In one instance, a young i Ntfgro wompn v/ho holds a commercial pilot and an aviation mechanic license, won the admiration and confidence of the Chicago Board of Education and of officials of the Civil Aeronautics Administration during the early stages of the CAA program. Today. when America knows the .practical value of training in air ' navigation, this Negro woman , heads up a three.class aviation program. She and her co.workers , have secured over 1200,000 worth 1 -.1 i? liqpH ifl ui . ?, . primary, intermediate, and en I vor^-ed flight instruction. The , WPA cooperates in this important aviation training program. Communitv Service Programs Revamped In aceordmce with the reduc_ tion orf WPA employment during j the current fiscal year, community service programR have been con. . tracted and re directed.
