speeches condemning the dictators
for doing the same thing to Jews,
Catholics and others abroad.
1.-THE President embarked enthu-
siastically upon an intra-party po-
uitical campaign against Demo-
Gratis refusing to endorse his New
Deal politics, but evidently ap-
proves of Senators and Congress-
men who endorse the Old Deal of
Negro persecution. He has yet to
voice any critism of fragrant color
discrimination in relief and other
New Deal set-ups.
1.-THE President has wonderful
opportunity to teach America an
object lesson of fair play toward
loyal minority. If this was i'm
practical in the North, East and
West, he could at least have said
something. He chose to remain
silent although supplied with docu-
mentary evidence of color discrim-
nation in almost every New Deal
set-up."
With these words from a promi-
nent newspaper that helped elect
the New Deal, ringing in their
ears, it rather occurs to me to say
that thoughtful Colored Americans
will keep in mind these structures,
and will, in my opinion, want to
find their way back to a party of
which it may be said, that, at
least it has always stood for the
basic principles of American demo-
cracy; and, that not a single dis
criminatory, repressive or dis
franchising law; not single Jim
crow law; not single peonage
law; not a single Government re-
gulation setting up regional wage
differentials, has ever been passed
by any state dominated by Repub-
lican opinion, or by any Republican
administration at Washington.

At the same time, Walter White,
NAACP secretary, appealed to the
u. S. Maritime Commission to
hold up the signing of contracts
with the Tampa company for five
new ships to cost S1.s14,430 each
in order that a clause might be
inserted prohibiting discrimination
in employment on account of race,
creed or color.
Perfect Double Crossing
The Tampa situation is a per-
feet illustration of double-crossing
Of Negro workers by union lily
whitism. Prior to June L. 1888 the
Tampa Shipbuilding Company en-
ployed about 200 workers, divided
between white and colored about
5000. Twelve Negroes and one
white man led in a strike which
in turn resulted in the formation
of a union among the workers, who
heretofore, had been unorganized.
The new union was Local 1907
of the International Hold Carriers,
Building and Common Laborers
Union of America. A verbal agree
ment was made to continue the
division of the work on a 5000
basis. Shortly afterward, howe
yer, one William Sullivan, white,
raised the question of Negro and
white union members meeting in
the same hall, voting etc. In the
meantime the Tampa company
signed a closed shop agreement
which went into effect June 1,
1898.
AS soon as this contract was
signed, the union was divided into
white and colored units, with a
white man, H. L. Sanders, as bu-
siness agent of the Negro unit. He
is said to have unbalanced the ra-
ito of jobs and to have continued
certifying more whites than Ne
groes
When the colored union men,
bers complained they were given
custodian" by the International
union. This custodian, Charles Sill
va, is known as an enemy of Ne
groes and Negro labor He took
all books, papers and bank ac-
counts out of the hands of the Me-
gro unit of the union.
Where Negroes, before the sign
ing of the closed shop contract,
had about 600 jobs, they have to-
day 118, of which 116 are unskilled.
