Governor HATS
EXECUTION Of
WILLIE PETERSON

BIRMINGHAM, Ala..-The i'm
passioned plea Of Sheriff James
E. Hawkins os Jefferson County,
Ala. moved Governor B. M. Mil
Ter to order a stay of execution
for Willie Peterson, who was to
die Friday for the murder OF
two white society women Aug
ust 4, 1881.
IT don't believe Willie Peter
son Is the Negro who committed
this offense," wrote the Sheriff
on the eve of the Negroes exc
cution. and this belief is shar-
ed by Chief Fred H. McDuff,
who Is even more familiar with
the facts than I am I have
that feeling In my heart that
convinces me that 1t Is my duty
to appear before you and make
a full and frank statement of
all matters pertaining to this
case"
Peterson was tried and found
guilty of having murdered Miss
Augusta Williams and Miss Jen-
ME Wood. and having assaulted
Miss Nell Williams at a lonely
spot outside Birmingham over
two years ago. The Birmingham
branch OF the N.A.A.C.P.. assist
ed by the national office Of the
association took up the defense
Of Peterson, and has taken the
case to the United States Sup
RENE Court on a writ of certi-
orari. More than $4,000 has
been raised. mainly by the Bir-
mingham N.A-A.C.P. branch, for
Peterson's defense.
The defense has been conduct
ed by Attorney John w. Altman,
white. Last summer Dean Chas.
H. Houston who recently defend
ed George Crawford in Virginia,
visited Birmingham for the N.
A.A.CP. national office and con-
ferred with Sheriff Hawkins, At
torney Altman, Peterson and N.
A.A.C.P. officials on the appeal
to the Supreme Court.

Labor Unions Worst
Enemy Of Negro

FOR THE PAST five weeks.
this newspaper has been urging
Negroes to use the MIRA as lev
ef with which to pry labor ur-
ions off their necks.
It is a fact that can not be
contradicted that unions are OPP
posed to Negro labor either un-
der their respective constitutions
or else by custom. Colored wor-
kers are effectively barred from
equal opportunity within the
unions.
Wherever there is q closed
shop there you will find a pre-
cious few Negroes. We take the
position, and urge the Negro
press and all Negro organiza-
lions to do likewise, that there
must be no closed shop regula-
lions under the MIRA unless the
regulations force unions to grant
equality to all workers.
The Associated Negro Press IS
sued story last week which
proves the contention Of this
newspaper:
IF the automobile factories OF
Detroit ever fall under the con-
troll Of the American Federation
Of Labor ana It's affiliates, It viii
mean the closing Of the door to
Negro laborers.
This was the statement made
by Donald J. Marshall who is
connected with the employment
office Of the Ford Motor COM
pany, the largest employer Of
Negro labor in the world"
Mr.. Marshall pointed out that
at one time the Ford Company
employed 10000 Negro workers
To subsrantiate his charges that
unions are Negroes worst enem-
les he stated. cat one time col
o-as musicians were hired at all
social functions. The whites or
eanized the musicians. and now
the NEGRO musician is barred
Notwithstanding the fact thatlhe
is a member in good standing.
The amortization Of hotel wor-
kers Is largely responsible fo1
the displacement Of large mum
beers Of NEGRO hotel workers.
Labor unions are responsible
for increased wages and better
working conditions for white
workers. Were it not for dis
crimination against Negro wor-
kers unions could be the great
est blessing the world has evel
known.
However, until labor unions lei
down the bars which prevent Ne
gro workers from earning liv-
ing colored workers must fighi
for open shops SO that they car
keep the few Jobs left open K
them.
