Negro worker and white worker
nave been together in our local
ngn>ing for the common needs Of
Doth has been a tremendous edu-
cation Tor the white worker and in
a large measure has broken down
the chauvinistic attitude which our
social institutions foster.
Instead of the Negro people iso-
.ating themselves from the Labor
Movement and fighting independ-
emily, it is my opinion that there
is a need for more Negro workers
to get into the A. F. of l. In this
manner more can be accomplished
for both. 1t is also true that the
c. l. o. has done more for the Ne
gro worker but it is due to the
more progressive rank and file and
leadership. Let us work together
N building strong democratic
unions for the happiness and pros
perity of all.
l would propose that the various
Negro organizations call upon the
A. F. of L. to select a committee
of three and likewise the Negro
organizations set up@a committee
of three. These two committees
meet and become permanent body
to advise, assist, and discuss the
problems of the Negro workers.

Visiting Washington after at

Convention, in 1872, Bruce was in

How Do They Prefer
Their Licking?

Editor: Hoping 70 acquire a
fundamental knowledge of military
tactics before being drafted, two
St. Paul boys recently sought ad-
mission in the Minnesota Defense
Force. The boys were refused be-
cause there was no place for them
in the plan of organization" They
were highly commended for their
fine spirit of patriotism!
We are all familiar with the
regular army policy of segregation
and discrimination. And since the
army is in control of the federal
government, there is only so much
that can be done locally to effect
change in its long established
policy.
On the other hand the situation
is not the same in the Minnesota
Defense Force. The United States
government exercises no control
whatsoever over the organization
and training of state defense
forces. It appropriates no federal
funds for this purpose. The whole
question is purely a state affair.
Furthermore, the state Of Mime
sofa is regarded as one of the most
liberal states in the Union.
From all this it is correctly
assumed that the governor of the
state has the power to change by
executive order any plans of or
ganization" which deny citizenship
rights to a large body of his con-
stituents. The situation in the
Minnesota Defense Force has been
called to the attention of the gov
ernor on more than one occasion.
1t still exists.
l heard someone say once that
Negroes had peculiar appetite for
sugar-coated pills and dressed-up
insults. That same person told me
that Minnesota Negroes haven't
yet decided which way they prefer
their Misunderstanding up or sit
ting down.

A. F. OF L. LABOR LEADER
ANSWERS ROY WILKINS
Urges Organization of Joint Com
mittee To Discuss Workers
Problems

Editor: Mr.. Roy Wilkins article
reprinted in the Minneapolis
Spokesman and St. Paul Recorder
last week correctly points out the
attitude of the officialdom of the
A F. of L. in ignoring the burning
social problems of the Negro peO-
pie in their fight for jobs, the right
to vote, and against discrimination.
Unquestionably, the top official
dom of the A. F. of L. bears a
large responsibility for jim-crow-
ism in the A. F. of L. and else
where. The recent A. F. of L. con-
vention played a hypocritical role
in talking about national defense
and ignoring the defense of the
democratic rights of the Negro
people, the abolishing of the poll
tax, job discrimination, discrimina-
ton in the armed forces which was
so dramatically portrayed in the
case of the messmen in the navy
and in President Roosevelt's atti-
tude toward the demands of the
Negro people to end discrimination
in the armed forces.
However, when Mr.. Wilkins de-
clares that because of this attitude
in the top officialdim of the A. F.
of L., the Negro people should iso-
late themselves from the A. F. of
L., oppose everything that the A.
F. of L. does and pursue an indie
pendent role, / think he is making
a grave mistake.
Mr.. Wilkins should know that
there is a difference between the
rank and file membership of the
A. F. of L. and the bureaucratic
officialdom. The rank and file of
the A. F. of L. realize that they
can never be free unless the Negro
likewise is freed. Negro workers
should attempt to get into the
A. F. of L. and assist their white
brothers in changing this present
leadership.
Whenever Negroes and whites
are united for the common aims of
both, the greatest progress has
been made in breaking down the
color barrier which the Employers
and Big Business use and care
fully foster to divide and rule.
In the city of Minneapolis many
A. F. of L. unions welcome Ne
groes to become members. The
Miscellaneous Hotel and Restau-
rant Workers No. 665 has con-
sistently fought for its large Ne
gro membership for jobs, better
wages, job security, replacement
of Negroes by Negroes, and
against discrimination. No small
part of our success has been due
to the unity Of the Negro and
white workers in our local. Fur
thermore, the very fact that the

CHRISTMAS
By MORRIS GIBBS, SIR.
Poetry Editor


The Merry season of the year
Greets US again to remind US,
And its meaning can be acknowledged
When over pleasure there's not such fuss.
Christmas reminds all of gift giving
Some-the time for fun,
But little Importance is put on its meaning,
So Christmas keeps many on the run.
The birth of Christ, should be emphasized,
Stressed daily by all mankind
To try and produce His likeness,
By constantly rejecting the divine Mind.
"Let not your hearts be troubled"
Is poignant admonition for today,
Since world disorder is prevalent
More people should live right and pray.
1t is not an arduous task
To do that which is right,
For satisfaction comes to those
Who always seek the light
Let your Christmas lights burn brighter,
May they throw permanent glow,
Around all whom you associate
And they'll be glad-you to know.
Let each Christmas mean more to you
Than the last one did before,
In so doing you readily prove
Christmas hasn't double meaning any more.

On Relief 100 Years Ago

On Relief 100 Years Ago
The town of Midway, Massa-
chusetts, sued the town of Natick,
Mass, for money expended in the
support of ROba VickOns, pauper.
The pauper was the daughter of
Ishmael Coffee, of Midway. Ish-
mael Coffee was half black and
half white. His wife, who was the
mother of Roba, the pauper, was
white woman. Roba was married to
Christopher Vickons, of Natick, a
white person, August 6, 1889, by
the Rev. Stephen Badger, of
Natick.
Christopher Vickons died and at
the time of his death had his legal
residence in the town of Natick.
Roba, and her child by Vickons,
after the death of Vickons, had
been residing in the town of Med
way. Roba without money, and
without means of making money,
went on relief.
A Massachusetts statute pro-
hibited marriage between q white
person and a mulatto. If Roba's
marriage to the white man was
void, then she would not be en-
titled to relief from the town of
Natick.
The principal question is wheth-
er Roba Vickons is mulatto. The
court held that Roba was not a
mulatto. By definition, given by
the best photographers in 1910, a
mulatto is a person begotten be-
tween a white (all Whitley and a
black (all black. Roba was not a
mulatto because her father was a
mulatto (half black and half
white) and her mother was a
white woman.
Since Roba was. not a mulatto
her marriage to. Vickons was
valid, and, therefore she was en-
titled to relief from the town of
Natick.
