THE NEGRO IN THE RAILROAD INDUSTRY

In September 1966, the Ford Foundation announced a major grant to the Industrial Research Unit of the Wharton School to fund studies of the Racial Policies of American Industry. The purpose of the research effort, now in its fourth year, is to determine why some industries are more hospitable to the employment of Negroes than are others and why some companies within the same industry have vastly different racial employment policies, and to propose appropriate policy. The studies have proceeded on an industry by industry basis. This study of the railroad industry is No. 16 in a series of reports dealing with specific industries.
