RIGID CRAFT LINES
Drop Strict Ruling for Mer0.
bership Battle With
Lewis Group.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, May 28.-The Amer
lean Federation of Labor dropped
strict craft union lines today in it's
fight against John L. Lewis Commit
tee for Industrial Organization.
Federation leaders still believe
workers generally should be organized
into the unions of their craft, as op-
posed to the organization industry
that Lewis advocates.
They decided informally, however,
IN their current conference here not
to let craft lines stand in the way of
increasing membership. The machin-
lists, for instance, are trying to organ
ize all the workers in a number Of
plants. A good share of the fedora
uon's Summer membership campaign

Organization Program.
These Federal unions, affiliated di-
rectly with the A. F. of L. and not
linked with any member union, may
take in all the workers in a plant or
industry. The United Automobile
Workers was organized by consolida-
ton of number of Federal unions.
Eventually the federation expects to
divide the newly organized workers
among their proper craft unions. Col
lective bargaining then would be car
ried on by joint councils of craft union
representatives in those plants or in
dustries that employed more than one
craft.
A long list of unfinished business
still faced the federation's executive
council after yesterdays session.
Heading the list was a decision on
whether to support the administra-
ton wage and hour bill. Most coun-
Gil members privately expressed dis
approval of legislation to fix mini
mum wages for men. They contend
ed a SIS week minimum wage
would tend to peg the general wage
level at that figure.

pected to issue a formal order ex-
pelling c. I. o. locals from city CEN

representatives approved such action
earlier this week.

liam Green, A. F. of L. president,
warned the Progressives last night
that, if chartered, they could not raid

union still had an A. F. of L.

The council also still had before it

Crafts and the International Alli-
ance of Theatrical and Stage En-
ployes, another A. F. of L. union, is
at the root of the trouble.

depending somewhat on the in
dividual purchaser. At any rate,
everyone was evidently glad to be
employed and especially proud to
be employed in a position usually
denied to him. If l judge correctly
each and everyone of those sales
people was doubly proud of being
employed by men of his own
group.
Directly across the street is a
department store whose amazing
success is a tribute to an entirely
different philosophy of business. 1t
has been a going concern for 10
years. 1t occupies 10000 square
feet of floor space. Employs nor
mally 23O people, seasOnably ris-
ing to 400 or more. 1t has every

from the business college of the
Cincinnati University, one-time as

crative position with the Defender
to accept the management of this
store. Mr.. Jones is not at all proud
of the fact that he is the only
Negro in Chicago, and perhaps in
the United States, to be manager
of such an important business prof.
ect. He is, however, very proud
indeed that he is one of 80 business
executives who direct the destinies
of Chicago's department stores.

next and girls who work for us are

fathers house-if they want to be. "
An hours tour of the store failed
to reveal any sign of friction be-
tween white and colored workers;
there was no evidence of the pro-
hibited undue familiarity; there
was a self respecting courtesy;
there were many unsought compli-
mentary words for Mr.. Jones and
plenty of business to keep the
large force engaged.

In my more or less infrequent
visits to Chicago l make it a point
always to spend a little time on
47th street. This is the most i'm
portant thoroughfare for Negro
business. like to compare the in
crease of that business over the
last time l had an opportunity to
note it. Better even than that, l
am intrigued with the growing &C
ceptance by the Negro of the
thought that through the growth
of businesses directed by himself,
comes opportunity for larger place
ments of his own people.
There are few places in this sec
tor where the Negro spends his
money, that some of it is not re-
turned through employment of
Negro statesmen or other workers
even when the business is owned
by white men.
More and more the Negro him
self is investing his own money,
either individually or collectively, in
some business that sells to Negroes
the things Negroes have so long
bought only from white business.
The manifold advantages of this
are too obvious to need amplifica-
ton.
When l was in Chicago last year
the Jones Brothers were just COM
pleting the remodeling of a three
story building. This week 1 found
the remodeing job complete and
the ground floor occupied by a five
and dime store. 1t was as big as
the ordinary Woolworth's, ap-
peared to carry about the same
line of goods and was being well
patronized.
The marvellous difference was
that all it's numerous clerks land
that included the cashiers) were
colored.
The Jones boys are colored.
They've amassed some quick
money" and evidently have no in
tention of letting it get away. 1t
proves their good judgment and
race fealty when they invest in
fast-turning business ike the 5
and 10, giving steady employment
to score or more of their group.
l received a lot of information
about the store and its manage
ment from a Miss Pearson, pleas
