Pepsi Cola Jobs
For Negro
College Students

A new milestone in American
business will be marked next week
with the introduction of a novel
system of business internship for
young American men and women
the first specific step of its kind
in industry. Walter s. Mack, Jr.,
president of the Pepsi-Cola Compa-
ny, is initiating the plan in his or
ganization.
Known as the Walter Mack Job
Awards for American Youth, this
pioneering measure to develop jobs
for young college people seeking
to enter the business world, Is, in
essence, the granting of group of
business fellowships in the form
or actual salaried jobs.
The plan was launched at a lun-
cheon at LaGuardia Field, New
York, on July 9Th, with Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Hon.
Fiorello III. LaGuardia, President
of the U. S. Conference of Mayors,
among the speakers. A cross-sec-
ton of some of the most noted peo-
pie in America in the fields of bus
mess, the arts, music, literature,
theater, sports and public life will
also be present. The plan has the
active sponsorship and participa-
ton of hundreds of colleges in
states throughout the Union.
The young winners of the Job
Awards plan, who are being chos-
en- by a noted committee from
a m o n 6 applicants in colleges
throughout the country, will be
brought to New York as the guests
of the Company, to be present at
the luncheon and meet with dis
tinguished and successful persons
Of the present day, on the start
of their own first step into the
professional world.

Wilkie Pledges
Race Justice
And Opportunity
BY Emmett j. Scott

Washington, D. C.-The nomin-
alton of Wendell L. Wilkie for pre-
sident of the United States by the
Republican National Convention at
Philadelphia has been hailed by
Colored Republicans throughout
the country with enthusiasm.
kilograms by the hundreds were
received by the nominee at Phila-
delphia, and at Republican Nation
al Headquarters, from Colored CT
items expressing qualification that
so militant a warrior has been
commissioned to carry the Republic
can standard during the coming
months of the Presidential cam
paign.
What particularly commends Mr..
Willkie to the favor of Colored Re-
publicans is the attitude he took
in 1924 in opposing the Ku Klux
Khan. Fortune Magazine for April
1910, calls attention to the fact
that he lied and won the battle
against the Ku Klux Khan 1924-26.
Current History for February,
1910, also called attention to Mr..
WILKES attitude toward Ku Klux
Khan in the following: "As delegate
to the Democratic National Con-
vention in 1924, he fought for the
nomination of AL Smith over Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo, because Mr..
McAdoo was backed by the Ku
Klux Klan." During the proceed

he was a member, was polled and

To The Post-Imteuigencers


On Mr.. Hyatt's letter regarding
race discrimination at Boeings, a
point of Qualification is necessary.
The discrimination clause referred
to is in the International Associa-
ton of Machinists' constitution,
which is binding upon all locals.
A recommendation has been
made in local No. 751, Aeronauti-
cal Mechanics to the coming inter-
national convention, for elimina-
ton of this clause.
There is no clause In the present
or new agreement with the Boeing
company that Is discriminatory.
The company refuses employ
!, ment to Negroes using the excuse
that they are barred from union
membership, although there isn't
any closed shop at the plant.
personally, l would say the
company should employ some of
our Negro citizens, thus giving
Local No. 751 specific reasons for
demanding elimination of this dis
criminatory clause in the I. A. of
M. constitution.
In order to prevent confusion
that may be harmful to labor, it
must be pointed out that all en-
ployees at Boeings are required to
furnish birth certificates or salts
factory proof ef American citi-
zenship.

End Session. Bird
Elected Or. Master

The three days session of the
Lodge F and A. M. of the State
Most Worshipful United Grand
of Washington and its Jurisdiction
closed Wednesday after very har-
moninous and constructive annual
communication. Joseph T. Simms,
veteran Grand Master told his
craft, that owing to his serious
illness during the interim of the
annual Grand communication, and
his present weakened physical con-
dition, that it was impossible for
him to accept another term. The
craft reluctantly accepted his de-
cision to retire with expressions
of deepest sympathy and regret.
Robert D. Bird, of Enterprise
Lodge No. 1, Portland, member
of the jurisdiction for thirty years
and past grand treasurer for the
last eleven consecutive years was
elected to succeed him. Mr.. Bird
native of Barbados British
West Indies, came to Portland Ore
gon, forty years afo. He married
in 1906 and shortly after joined
Enterprise Lodge No. 1. F. and A.
M. of the Washington Jurisdiction.
He served his lodge at one time
or another in every capacity with
in the gift of his brethren and
seven years as Worshipful Master.
He is home owner, happily mar
ried, and the father of seven chill
dren. He is at present manager of
the Fraternal Hall, successful

Do We Bar Negroes?
From Aero Mechanic

Attacks have been recently lev
eled at Local No. 751--unfair I'M
just attacks-on the charge that
we, as an organization, are oppos-
ed to the hiring of Negroes by
Boeings.
We wish to state clearly and
emphatically that such charges
are entirely false and without
grounds.
It Is true that the Boeing Com
pany does not hire Negroes. But
since when has Local ISL had any
control over the company's policy
in this connection?
1t Is also true that a clause ex-
lists in the constitution of the In
ternational Association of Machin-
lists barring Negroes from men,
bership. Would this small but vo-
ciferous group which has been
loudest in attacking our local have
us dis-affihate with our parent
body because of this clause?
For their information, it has
been progressive locals like our
own that for years have been
fighting at the International Con-
ventions of the I. A. M. for the
elimination of this clause. It is
to be hoped that we may be more
successful at the Forthcoming con-
vention.
Certainly, of all the trade unions
in the city, we feel that to direct
attacks against us as proponents
of racial discrimination, prejudice
or chauvinism, is not only unfair
and unjust, but is inspired by GER
tain anti-labor elements to dis
rupt our union while it is in the

cussion these points We're proven
to be not true. The fact was es-
tablished that the Negro worker
stands ready to cooperate with To-
cal 751 in its program of securing
improved working conditions and
increased wages for workers in the
field of Aeronautic Mechanics. It
was also established that the Ne
gro Is not g. potential strike break
er but has proven to be the back
bone of many important strikes
in the Northwest.
After much discussion pro and
con, regarding the matter, mo-
ton was made from the floor of
the Executive Committee that the
Executive Committee recommend
to the general membership at its
next regular meeting, that local
751 go forward in its fight to in
clude Negroes in its membership;
and in its fight to establish ade-
quate conditions of work annd suit
able wages for workers in the field
of Aeronautic development. This
motion was extended to include a
recommendation that Mr.. Squires
be given an opportunity to appear
before the general membership
meeting oil local 751 to be held the
following night on Thursday, July
18th. The motion was seconded and
when put to the Executive Board
was passed without a dissenting
vote.

Race Discrimination
nm

To The Post-Intelligencer:
zone person in every twenty
families residing in Seattle now
works for the Boeing Company"
said speaker before the Rotary
Club last week. This speaker could
have told his audience that among
the thousands employed by the
Boeing Company, no Negro citizens
are hired. So also could he have
told them that Aeronautics Mech
anics Union No. ISL has clause
that reads: 81 will not recon-

Some day the Boeing Company
may learn that it is dangerous
business to bargain with a union
that does not specify that its men,

must be white.
So, too, may Aeronautical Union
No. ISL learn, that American JUS

the Royal Air Force during IL

But. instead Of wooden planks
for the dividing barriers, each pen
of an acre each filled with metal
wreckage II feet high Is separated
by wings from the fuselage Of Ger
man airplanes.
The 1877 men smashing this
wreckage rather enjoy their work
because almost as fast as they pile
Ii into mounds the material Is
hauled away and melted into clean
metal for new Spitfires and Hurri-
canes.
The metal used by the Germans
in the construction OF airplanes In

technician who was examining the
charred remains of a Junkers.
It's the extra equipment which
