Negro Delegates
Take Active Part
At A. F. L. Meet

At the session of the fifty-seventh
Annual Convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, which
just adjourned in Denver, Colorado,
the state which has long been the
bloody battlefield of labor, infor-
nation was received that A. Phillip
Randolph, International President,
and M. P. Webster, first Interna-
tional Vice-President of the Broth
erhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
were placed on the Organization
and Shorter Work Day Commit
tees, respectively.
This is the first time that Negro
delegates lit has been said by some
of the old timers) were ever ap-
pointed to a committee in a con-
vention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
The Brotherhood, which last
August of this year signed its first
Wage Agreement for the Pullman
Porters, Attendants and Maids with
the Pullman Company, securing
for these workers an increase in
pay of one million, two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars with
some half million increase in work
ing conditions, joined the A. F. of
L. in 1929. It then received Fed
eral Charters, and in 1884 the
Brotherhood received an Interna-
tional Charter from the Fedora
ton, becoming the first and only
recognized Negro International
Union in America-said Randolph.
Being a part of the committee
structure of the American Fedora
ton of Labor enables the Brother
hood delegates to fight for the pro-
lection and advancement of the
rights Of Negro workers within
the committees as well as on the
floor of the Convention, stated the
Porters' chief-Mr. Randolph.

After Mr.. Welsh told the audi

speaker after speaker got to their

when he told of how the league
was formed and remarked that
now a little group ran it. He also
told of white board members who
had large employed personnel and
never hired a colored worker.
Newman Attacks Secrecy
Cecil Newman, publisher of the
st. Paul Recorder, attacked the
former league policy of self-per-
petuating boards and failure to
make more public the operation
and plans of the league.
He said that the league bust
ness was the public's business and
that proper publicity should be
given the work of the organization.
Newman also said that the organi-
ration must interest the people on
lower Rondo" in the league work.
That it could not operate when
only a very small percentage of
the people knew anything about
the league.
Welsh Denies Perpetuating
Boards
Mr.. Welsh, presiding, differed
sharply with Newman's claim
that board membership had been

inferred Newman's assertion that
the board was sef-perpetuating
was incorrect. He cited figures to
support his contention.

Welsh, president; George Brooks
and S. Ed. Hall, vice-presidents;

Representations will immediate

Chest that the league budget be
approved and that provisions be
made to have an experienced
Urban League secretary come to
st. Paul to study thoroughly this
territory and its possibilities and
to determine whether or not the
type of activity provided by the
league is needed.

ITALIAN PRESS
WARNSPEOPLE
OF RED SPAIN
Average Citizen Has Little
Information Regarding
Civil War
BY STEWART BROWN

ROME, Jan. 10. (UP). - Mr..
Average Italian is Mortified by
the brutality Of the civil war in
Spain but his sympathies are all
with the nationalist.
He really hasn't much choice
because everything he reads in his
newspapers exalts the national
lists and condemns the loyalists.
The influence of the church is
also welded in favor of the ma
tionalists. The Osservatore Ro-
mano, Scmi-official organ Of the
Vatican, has gone into greater de-
tail about alleged red atrocities in
Spain than any other Italian news
paper.
What amazes the average Ital-
ian is the savageness Of the Span
ish war. Il is his belief, from read
ing his newspapers, that all the
atrocities are committed by the
loyalists. while the nationalists
are delivering the country from
the alleged horrors of commun-
ism.
WAR VIEWPOINT SHIFTS
The man-on-the-street is told,
and he believes it, that the war in
Spain is no longer between Span
iards of different political phil
osophies, but between Spaniards
(the nationalists) and red for
eigners, assisted by, a few bolshe-
visit Spaniards.
Typical was the comment of a
grocer:
ave Italians" he said, "are in
favor of the nationalist because
the others are killers Of priests,
nuns and children who want to
bring communism to Spain"
Italian newspapers Lave no cor
respondents on the loyalist side.
What news they print from this
side comes from foreign sources.
But all references to loyalist eour-
age are deleted. Occasionally the
newspapers admit the "reds," as
the loyalists are called, are put
ting up stubborn resistance, but
thew attribute this to foreign sup
port.
PRESS STRESSES
NEUTRALITY
Foreign allegations that Gen.
Francisco Francois air force in
cludes many Italian and German
pilots as well as machines have
not been mentioned in the Italian
press. The average Italian from
reading his paper would get the
idea that France and Russia are
openly supplying loyalists with
arms and munitions, while Italy
continues officially to maintain an
attitude of neutrality.
But the man on the street knows
that Italy is quietly sending men
and material to Spain. This infor-
nation he gets from the grapevine
distribution of news which is not
permitted to appear in newspa-
pers. He knows it is true because
his friend, "Signor X" an air pi-
lot, has quietly disappeared from
Rome and now writes to his fam
lily from Spain. There are many
such families in Rome receiving
letters from Spain.
The average Italian was shrewd
enough to guess that Germany and
Italy recognized the Franco gov
eminent because they wish to give
Franco additional support to speed
up the conclusion of the war.
