need for fair employment, this committee will try to enlist the aid of Indiana employers to open the doors of their indus- , tries to everyone on the basis of individual worth, . 88 ‘THEY FEEL that many fairminded employers would cooperate voluntarily if they knew facts like these: ONE: That the withholding of Jobs costs industry money. Eric Johnston, former president of the U, 8. Chamber of Commerce once said: “The withholding of jobs and business opportunities for some people does not make more jobs and business opportunities for others. Buch a policy merely tends to drag down the whole economic level. You can't sell an electric refrigerator to a family that can’t afford electrieity, Perpetuating poverty for some merely guarantees stagnation for all . . . prejudice produces no wealth; discrimination is a fool's economy.” TWO: It costs taxpayers more money paying relief costs. A survey this year showed there .were miore Negroes than white persons on the Center Township Relief rolls at the same time employment figures showed Negroes were as always the “last hired, first fired.” THREE: It costs the nation, not only in dollars and cents but in strength. Experts agree that the Com munist party has made the biggest’ gains in situations where they have been able to exploit the problems of minorities,

. - » “ONE - PROMINENT Indianapolis business and civie leader summed this up in this way: “I recognize there are 55,000 to 60,000 Negroes unemployed in this city. I know that that large a proportion of the population mustn't be let to drift to where they are always on relief. That's Just recognizing what's best for all of us. “For a long. while. it has seemed to me plain silly gor our people to avoid” grappling with the problem.

It ‘would have removed a major weapon, “And then again there's another reason, 1 always wonder how I would feel if I were on the receiving end.” It is only proper that Indtar= apolis should be among the first to try to solve this problem, fince its reford is one of the worst in the nation.

share than does Indianapolis.

Indianapolis. ranks 62d, with only 28 cities with worse records. RE "Indianapolis incorporates the worst aspects of the southern and northern patterns in Negro employment, either no jobs at all or only the most menial with no chance for advancement. On the other hand, In Indianapolis are some of the best examples of fair employment policies. RCA-Victor, for instance, hires workers on ‘the basis of individual worth and promotes them on this same basis. Many employers privately will Hb—— it
