Principal Sears of the Washing
ton school, Worth Mcclure, SUI
perintendent of schools, and
many Negro and white members
of the LSNR.
The position of the LSNR
brought out at this meeting by
Revels CaytOn, was that If the
jim-crOw system, started by sepa
rate girls groups, continued, il
might easily be step toward
separate class rooms, separate
lunch rooms, and generally bring
about a stronger color line.
Every kind of segregation has
Invariably been disastrous for
the Negro people, giving them
the worst jobs, less pay, intoler-
able living conditions,
Misleaders Support Segregation
However, Miss Vertner, Mr..
Jackson, Mrs. Shields, Mrs. Cor
don Carter and others, all Ne
groes, have endorsed the policy
of having a segregated Girl Re-
serve group in the public schools.
The League of Struggle has chal'
lenged them by stating that
their policy is not the sentiment
of the Negro people generally,
but that they take this position
because of the jobs they hold
and want to continue to hold.
The red scare has been hurled
at the LSNR, calling it a Com
munist Organization, but the
representation at their meetings
of all the groups of people shows
that it is non-partisan organic
alton.
Next, the supporters of segre-
CATION state that the LSNR is
only interested in diserediting
them personally, and that they
want to break up all YWCA and
Girl Reserve groups. The LSNR
answer to this is that their only
interest is to smash segregation
and that their interest is not in
individuals.
Read the next sisue of the
Voice of Action for a further ac-
count of the fight against the
segregation of Girl Reserve
groups.

in South Tacoma Park last week.
A committee of Is was elected to
call on the supervisor of the To-

but in the main the sorry, no
money" excuse was made, though
Mrs. Jameson promised to see
what she could do"
The date for an organizational
meeting of a South Tacoma Neigh
borhoOd assembly was set for
Wednesday night in the Robert
Gray school, and this group will
participate in the county demon

Demands Presented
Five demands were presented
to Mrs. Jameson, a minimum of
S2.l0 per person per week; milk,
flour and other commodities;
medical and dental care; clothing
and school supplies for children;
rent, light and water paid. The
demands for more relief were TAX
en- under consideration. The relief
head declared that the increased
amount of vouchers would take
the place of the commodities cut
off, but of the committee of Is,
seven proved that they would be
getting less than they had be-
fore. She would make no promise
of school supplies, or to pay rent,
but assured the workers that
light and water would be taken
care of. She also agreed to recog-
nize all committees from the In
employment Council.
When the committee came to
the station, they were told that
Mrs. Jameson would only see five,
but the Is crashed the gate.
