ORGANIZE AND ORGANIZE RIGHT

Sponsors of the job campaign which was launched three
weeks ago must encouraged by the adoption OF resou
ton by strong organizations pedgng support 10 'h

get Sound Lodge of Eks 100 and the Ladies Auxiliary
of the B. S c. have pledged to spend their money Win
those establishments who enter into reciprocal trade
agreements with the Race.
But the four organizations not enough to put the
job over developments indicate the necessity Tor the
immediate formation of organization OF the collective or
CARNATIONS city of Seattle search for jobs such as
the one now in should be under direction of
organization by leaders capable steering the move
ment with minimum of mistakes
To realize necessity needs only to review the
colossal mistake made by the tentative committee on whose
board of directors of the Douglas Apartment STOP
ped their patronage of the Puget Sound Power and Light
Company grounds that the company does not employ
members of the Race Had committee investigated the
policies of Puget sound the firm would doubt still be
serving the Douglas with power We make the above state
after carefully considering number of facts resulting
from own investigation.
The records of Puget Sound show; the firm employs
eleven Negroes of whom has been with the company
wenynne years churches and other organizations have
frequently received donations the company the
pany has consistently advertised with the Northwest Enter
prise Puget Sound donates $4,000 to the Community Fund
and the Seattle Urban League and Phyllis Wheaty W. c.
A. agencies of the Community Fund These facts
brought before the public emphasize the necessity for
organization capable and DESTROYS of making all necessary
Investigations before making releases for publication
The most satisfying revelation resulting from nego
ations with the company the willingness of
pany officials to enter into negotiations with the committee
to iron out any difficulties that might retard the efforts
the company to maintain good public relationship.
We again call the sponsors of the job campaign to
cation the committee include the local chapters
of the N A. A. c. P. and the Urban League.

One of the outstanding events
of the conference year at Bethel

there was no policeman on the

there are no athletic organizations

made friends with many of them
and we find that they all agree
that, barring school hours and
a few chores at home, they have
nothing to do with their excess
energies We don believe our par

of our youth. We think they want
to do something about it, so we
are offering this space to parents
who would like the opportunity
to offer suggestions as to ways
and means Of getting our young
people off to a good start. Any
suggestion will be kept on record

anxious to have something done
about the youth problem out Ma

slight attacks are being made at
many points of advantage. BY the

my. Marching women, isolation
lists CAB nor appeasement fol-de-
rol can halt the advance of these
determined combatants. The I'M
fortunate thing about this immin-
ent struggle will be the ruthless
ness with which it will be execut-
ed on the part of the attacking
forces. No quarter will be given
while the calvacade of marauders
and plunderers carry out their ne
farious purpose. Shall we sit idly
by while the gathering clouds en-
shroud us like heavy fog? Shall
we endure all this, as once was
said by an cratic fellow named
Cassius? Our reply will be some
thing like this: "All this and
morew for boys and girls will be
given carte blanche to do almost
what they darned please in this
yearly battle. Tallow and soap
will be at a premium. Window
washing will be the vogue for sew
