Workers Council
Organized

At the suggestion of C. W.
Washington, Executive Secretary
Of the Twin City Urban League, a
temporary Workers Council was
organized Friday, July 16, at
Phyllis Wheatley House by a
group Of men representing various
occupations.
1t is felt that major issues such
as securing adequate colored work
ers on the northside housing prof.
ect, fair treatment by labor unions,
the adyisability of active partici-
patton in labor organization when
membership can be secured and
bringing pressure upon those
unions that discriminate against
Negroes are sufficient to warrant
the establishment of a committee
that will make every effort to solve
the problems in this area.
A permanent organization will
not be set up until larger num-
Der of both union and non-union
members is secured. There are at
present So or more. suck councils
throughout the country.
All Negro workers are invited
to the next meeting, Friday, July
%, at 8 p. m. at Phyllis Wheatley

LONDON, July 24.-Great Britain admitting failure in her attempts to find compromise for the inter national neutrality deadlock, moved to throw full responsibility upon Germany and Italy for the plans collapse. A technical subcommittee of the International -Interven- ton group that includes twenty seven neutral nations sworn to a hands-off Spain policy, met at the Foreign Office for three hours in another futile attempt to bridge the enmity between Europe's Feftist and Fascist powers. The sub-com- mittee was Britain's last chance proposal to salvage the non-inter- vention project by substituting Spanish port control for the col- lapsed scheme of naval patrol and granting belligerent rights to the Insurgents and Loyalists dependent upon withdrawal of all foreign vol- unteers from Spain.
 
 Italy and Germany refused to discuss the withdrawal of Nazi- Fas- cist volunteers from Spain until belligerent rights are accorded to General Francois Nationalists.
 France and Russia, allies of the Spanish Loyalists, refused to con- slider the belligerency status until the volunteers question was settled.
 When the meeting broke up at six o'clock last night, it was an- nounced that Great Britain has abandoned for the time being her efforts to wind solution to the deadlock. Britain, 1t was indi- crated, is prepared to ask Germany and Italy to propose a solution ac- ceptable to the other twenty five non-intervention powers.
 If Premier Mussolini and Fueh- CT Adalph Hitler fail to offer some acceptable compromise, Britain and undoubtedly France. would formally admit the collapse of the entire structure of Spanish non-interven- ton.
