ANGELS OF DARKNESS

However-we may look at widespread labor strug-
giles in which we find ourselves this New Year, the
importance of Negro participation in the labor move1
n,ent cannot be ignored or treated as temporary
thing. We have seen at last some recognition OF
black labor some recognition of its plight and some
recognition of its capacity the part of those who
seem destined to lead the great body of American
workers in the next few years This recognition Is
new and unfamiliar We are not perhaps too clear
" aware Of its import for the present or OF Its prom
Use for the future,
Here in this inael$tram of motors which makes up
industrial Detroit the impact of conflicting views
on labor questions has served more to confuse than
to Clarity the basic issues of the labor movement Ne
gro workers are not alone in this confusion but they
share the doubts and fears, the prejudces and mis-
understandings of all of the workers who neVerthe-
less are inevitably cropping toward economic security
and more civilized way of life A new economic
frontier is being opened and there exist those df-
fcuties which all must face who would dare become
pioneerS Millions of black workers facing some
thing of crisis which allstudents of the prob
lem in America are agreed may make or break us.
The rise of industrial unions has given us the OPP
portunty which craft unions denied us on the
grounds that we were literally unworthy of our hire.
In the past Negro labor shted aside and forced
on double economic standard. Besides being the
last hired and first fired he always draws the lowest
nav. This double standard brought all labor to its
knees and pitted black and white workers against
each other to the detriment of both. Such state
of affairs could not be expected to continue and in
dustria unions can be regarded natural develop
ment in an effort to improve all labor, black and
white alike. To improve one you must improve both

largest outpost of the open shop and here we have
witnessed bitter struggle which may continue for
some time That the industry will eventually be-

This tain volume is a collection

author turns the lives Of many Of

SHOWS US what they are Ike and

probably reveal more about what
kind Of man the author is than they
do about the city Of which he writes.

interesting newspaperman.

proposing or attempting constructive program.
Passing judgment on pictures with Negro ehafac-
tiers and inspiring the group as whole with sense
of the need for protest against such pictures as are
deemed unsatisfactory would be program worthy
of the efforts of any of these leaders Once the
masses of Negroes have become conscious of the
need for such united efforts it will not only relieve
the Race of much that in addition to being distaste
full is untrue but will necesSitate higher standard
of play writing than is maintained.
We hope that the day is not too far distant when
such program will be put into action. Until then
we shall look forward to more films like Going

A READER DECLARES
Guest EditOriaD

After seeing Louis Armstrong cavort this week
in very weak vehicle rather logically called GO
ing Places we wonder if the time will come
when We the Negroes, will exert sufficient pressure
on the Hollywood Cars to prevent such racial bur
lesque.
In the role Of stable boy and serenader of race
horse Nh Armstrong has allowed himself to be the
instrument Of more racial rdicue than we have
seen on the screen for quite some time.
There are, of course, two possible approaches to
eliminating this type Of treatment of Negro char
acters on the screen First of ALL there is the oppor
ttnity for Maxine Sullivan who WAS Broadway
sensation barely year ago to refuse to appear be
fore the camera dressed as a maid only in order to
sing, the inference being that her singing would be
only "peepingH if She sang out of the traditional
costume She played no part as a maid in the picture
so her appearance dressed, can lead to no other
interpretation 1t is possible however that it will be
a long time before Negro actor will prize the OPP
portunity Of refusing ridiculous Characterization
over the liberal pay check for which Hollywood is
famous
The second approach to correcting this situation
is organized Negro public opinion against satrizng
members of the Race in the motion picture industry
One need only 10 think Of tie very effective work of
the Catholic Legion of Decency in order to find a
pattern to follow.
Motion PICTURES are one of the strongest means
of spreading propaganda and mass protest in this
direction has too long been neglected Those of our
leaders who are not busy being ineffective are oc-
cugied in berating those who are ineffective without
