CLIO Program Scores
Gains In the T exas
Textile Work Drive

Houston, Sept. 9 (CNA)-Or-
%ganization of the Negro workers
in the textile industry in this city
is proceeding a rapid rate, through
the efforts of the Textile Workers
Committee, affiliated to he CLIO.
More than fifty per cent of the
Negro workers in the Mente Bag
ging company plant have received
their cards in the Textile Union.
The company has attempted to in
timidate Tire workers by passing
out a rumor that the plant would
be closed if they joined the union
and the work transferred to the
company's plant in New Orleans.
The workers learned, however, that
the plant in New Orleans is being
unionized as rapidly as the Houston
plant.
Margaret Flores, pretty little
Mexican textile worker, who was
dismissed from the plant of the
Lone Star Bagging company of
Houston for union activities spoke
to the Negro workers in their meet
ing here last week. Miss Flores has
preferred charges against the com
pany with the National Labor Re-
lations Board mad her case is sche-
duled for an early hearing.
Through the activities of tire CIo
in the Houston area, Negro, Mexi-
can and white workers are gradual
ly learning the power of labor SOL
idarity and what benefits it brings.

Efforts on the part Of three no

the United Auto Workers conven
ton were promptly scotched when
the union sent a large delegation to
insist on equal rights for their fell
low unionists. Hotel arrangements
were fatly told that if the Negro
workers were not given accomoda-
tons, en- the white delegates
would check out in a body. Jim
Crow checked out instead.

since its inception, are playing a
leading part in the deliberations of
the convention. Sam Fanroy was
placed on the Committee of Edu-
cation, while John Wright was
made a member of the important
Committee on Organization.
It was learned this week that the
convention will be asked to act
upon a number Of proposals affect
ing Negro workers. Among them,
n calling for the election of at
least one Negro worker to the Cen
eral Executive Board of the Union.
Others will ask for additional
Negro organizers to be placed on
the staff of the international; for
Negro clerical workers to be en-
ployer by tire union; and for great
er opportunity for Negro workers
in the industry demanding an end to
present discriminatory practices by
plant arrangements. Some of the
demands insist on the right of Ne
gro workers to all jobs, with full op
~portunity to acquire the skill neces-
sary to make them eligible to all
jobs. It is also insisted that Negro
women be employed without dis
elimination in all auto plants.
The michigan Division of the
National Negro Congress sent
greetings to the convention, pledg-
ing its full cooperation in the i'm
portant asks facing the Union in

Chicago policemen are charged
with Gripping a youth while try
ing to force him to confess to rob-
berry in a complaint to Police Com
missioner James ?. Altman and the
Civil Service Commission by the
Chicago Civil Liberties Committee.
The story sounds like a tale from
a Nazi concentration camp.
William Harris, 20-years-old,
was arrested with a friend, Henry
Jones, %, on suspicion Of snatch
ing a purse several weeks before.
They were taken to the office of
Captain John A. Egan at the Max
well street station for questioning.
Then Officers Hennig and Miller
who arrested them, took them to
an adjoining room where each of
fcer hit Harris on the stomach and
back ten times. They forced Harris
to strip to 1.-THE waist saying to
Harris: "We1l make you talk"
A witness testified that Lieut..
Louis Cappartlli told Harris: "You
had better talk, boy, because we
rave a way of making you"
"You can whip me with an iron
pine but I won't tell a lie on my
SELF" was Harris answer.
Hung on Ladder
Harris was then taken to the
second floor gym by a numt-r Of
policemen. Witnesses remaining
nearby heard Harris yelling and
crying with pain.
Forty minutes later Harris was
carried downstairs. A policeman
said 1.-THE kid must be tough.'

never hung anybody up there that

Harris states that Miller and
iHennig handcuffed his hands be-
hind him to a ladder in the gym
with his feet on a box. Then Miller
kicked the box out from under his
feet leaving him hanging in the
air with the handouts cutting his
wrists. He was then punched in the
stomach, back and sides. Finally
they used a board a foot wide and
beat him across the feet, stomach,
back and chest about 60 times. Har-
ris right arm was paralyzed from
the torture.

amined the youth, Assistant States
