...hour wage increase for 48,000 shopcraft workers who now make $3.60 an hour, were the same as the ones that the railroads and negotiators for four rail unions had agreed upon last December.

Of the nation's 300.000 lawyers, only 3,000 are black-one of the smallest black ratios of any U.S. profession. Of the Government's 93 U.S. Attorneys, none is black; the most recent (Cecil Poole of San Francisco) has just been replaced by a white. Thurgood Marshall sits on the Supreme Court, but of 459 federal judges, only 22 are black. Among the country...
