Memorandum on Savannah Shipyards

To: Mr. George M. Johnson

From: Clarence Mitchell

Subject: Savannah Shipyards

February 24, 1943

It is my understanding that the CIO is making an effort to organize the workers in the Southeastern shipyards in Savannah and for this reason the IUMSWA is backing the fight on discrimination.

Since we have already started an investigation through the War Manpower Commission, I am suggesting that we send the attached letter.1
