Race Question Drives Strikes Amid Hiring Bias
The labor department cites racial discrimination as a rising factor in strikes alongside wage disputes. Negroes and Mexicans have moved into skilled roles under seniority protections, triggering protests by white workers. President Roosevelt created a fair employment practices committee to curb hiring discrimination. Wage gains lag behind surging living costs, with costs up about 23 percent since January 1941 and 26 percent since the war began, while the War Labor Board holds a 15 percent wage limit.
