{"value"=>"<p>The MEMORANDA were prepared for the 1949 U.S. House of Representatives Special Subcommittee on Education and Labor hearings, chaired by Adam C. Powell, on fair employment practices legislation. The memos deal with a number of issues dating to 1917, including wages of black workers, attempts by white unions and the railroad companies to drive blacks out of the industry and racial employment policies during the First and Second World Wars. There are also two chronologies of the discriminatory acts practiced by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen against black workers. These documents were incorporated into the official government record of the hearings, which was published in <em render=\"italic\">Hearings before a Special Subcommittee of the Committee on Education and Labor.</em>(Washington, D.C.: U.S. Printing Office, 1949).</p>"}
