TO THE NEGROES OF SEAT
TIE, TACOMA, SPOKANE, YAK
INA and PORTLAND, OREGON:
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
was founded more than IS years
ago. Since that time it has waged
and won many battles for our well
fare-more than all other Negro
organizations together.
The N. A. A. c. P. is not a
radical association. Some of the
finest white men and women in
the United States grace its dir
ectorate-many of them business
and industrial leaders. Were it not
for them, in all probability, Wal
ter White, the vigilant foe of in
tolerance, would not be in a posi-
ton to lead its cause.
Each of you needs the N. A. A.
G. P. Each of you is now engaged
in recruiting to full strength your
local chapter. 1t is pathetic. Of
ID million Negroes, the National
Association can boast of but bare
ly 70 thousand members? Here
each city may boast of less than
$3.50 of its population.
The annual membership fee is
only $1.00, one-half of which goes
to the National Association and
the other half remains in the local
treasurer. Is there a man or wo-
man who heard the fervent plea
of Walter White Executive Secre-
tary, during his visit to the North
west, who would not gladly give
aid to our crusade for equal rights
under our laws?
When the drive is ended let us
proudly answer, Our name is writ
ten there. Join the N. A. A. c. P.
THE TIME TO JOIN is NOW.

Puget Sound Lodge
Evergreen Temple
Eye New Home

Fired with new ambition, Puget
Sound Lodge No. 100, Evergreen
Temple Daughter Elks, will meet
in joint session next Monday night,
December 16 to formulate plans
for the purchase of a new home.
The plans for the new home en-
brace joint ownership in any con-
templated purchase, and will be
so operated and controlled.
The combined membership of
the two lodges will represent the
largest fraternal organization in
the Northwest. The lethargy here
tofore existing in both orders
seems dissipated by renewed en-
thusiasm, arising spontaneously in
both crafts. New members have
voluntarily sought admission and
reinstatements have added a new
impetus which is expected to dou-
BILE the membership in both organ
izations.
Exalted Ruler e. r. Chainey
and Daughter Ruler Mrs. M.
Rhone are both elated in the re-
newed efforts to make both crafts
the leaders of fraternalism here.
Both organizations are anxious to
make some decision as to a per-
manent home.
At joint public installation the
first Monday night in January,
1941, the opening gun will be fired
for a new home and drive for
increased membership.
EVERY ELK BRING AN ELK,
is their new slogan.

Negro Job Seekers
In Vicious Circle

New York - Something of the
manner in which billion-dollar in
dustrial plants, particularly air.
craft manufacturers, on the West
coast have succeeded with the aid
of local boards of education in
keeping Negro job applicants out
of defense industry, was revealed
here today by Walter White, exc
cutive secretary for the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People.
Mr.. White returned this week
from months speaking tour in
connection with the Associations
campaign to break down discrimin-
alton against the Negro in the ma
tional defense program, including
the army and navy. He addressed
81 meetings, twenty of them spon-
sored by NAACP branches in six
teen cities from Boston to San
Francisco.
II found at San Diego Califor-
mia for example," he said, that
the school board has issued an or
der barring Negro children from
taking vocational courses unless
they can produce letters from en-
ployers like Mr.. Colt, manager of
this huge aircraft corporation
which is making planes for the
national defense program, told
members of delegation from our
San Diego branch that he was I'M
able to employ Negroes because
they were unframed.
Thoughtful white and colored
people on the coast are now seeing
the vicious circle-Negroes cannot
get jobs because they are not
trained and they cannot get train
ing because no jobs are guaran-
teed them.
Particularly acute is the stu
alton in the Boing aircraft plant at
Seattle, Washington, where it was
recently revealed that large num-
Der of Nazi bundists are not only
employed but occupy strategic po-
sitions In the plant, while Negroes
whatever their qualifications are
denied jobs in the plant because
of the attitude of the plant man.
agement. These facts are slowly
being driven home to Negroes all
over the country, who are begin
ming to realize that they have a
common interest in this fight.

Louis Cooper Urges
Negro Demo Unity

A chain is no stronger than its
weakest link. Why is it not pos
sible for the various Negro Demo
cratic organizations in Seattle to
join forces and become one strong
organization? There is no denying
the fact that our disorganized
forces have never been an asset
to the race. 1t is current know
ledge our individuality is our
greatest liability.
The King County Colored Demo-
cratic Club is the oldest and most
active democratic organization in
the Pacific Northwest. Members
of other Negro Democratic organ
izations are former members of
King County Colored Democratic
Club. This club was founded by
four men when it was unpopular
to be a Democrat.
Neither of these men now hold
nor wish to hold office. Why not
the various Negro Democrat or
CARNATIONS come together under
the King County Colored Demo-
cratic Clubs banner and affect a
reorganization and thereafter
work as a unit for race welfare
and betterment?
This public appeal by the Acting
secretary, Louis Cooper, is sane
toned by the full membership of
the King County Colored Demo
cratic Club. Will we work as a
unit by taking what we have to
make what we want?

Ky. Teachers Fight
For Equal Salaries

Louisville, Ky.-A suit to compel
the local school board to pay sal
aries to Negro public school teach
ers in this city equal to salaries
paid to white teachers doing SINH
lar work, was filed here Thursday
December by Attorney Prensice
Thomas in behalf of Miss Valla
Dudley Arlington and other teach
ers, according to an announcement
of colored people which is handling
the case.
Decision to file that suit, which
is being brought in the United
States District Court for the west
ern district of Kentucky, was de-
termined by local teachers group
and a citizens committee following
hearing before the school board
December 8. At this hearing, which
was crowded with teachers, many
of whom had to stand, John A.
Miller, board chairman, made it
plain that no monies would be add
ed to the 1941 education budget
in order to equalize salaries dur
ing 1941.
A dramatic moment was reach
ed during the hearing when Miller
obviously seeking to intimidate the
teachers, asked the crowded board
room how many teachers were pre-
sent. Without a moments hesita-
ton the teachers raised their
hands for all to see.
Without answering Miss Abiding
toms petition, the board chairman
sought to forestall further action
by getting the teachers to accept
equalization of salaries over five
year period.
Estimating that the cost of ELI

is likely to the status of that 10
per cent of our population which

doing his part, and the Army and
Navy want none of him." writes
Walter White, Secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People in the cur
rent issue of the Saturday Eve
ming Post.
Charging wholesale discrimina-
ton in both the military and in
dustrial defense service, White
says that national Negro organiza-
tons such as his own have accu-
mulated files full of case records
and put the problems in the No.
1 position on their figure agenda.
Citing the unsuccessful efforts
that have been made to date, Mr..
White States" the Negroes

only started. 1t will continue till,
all along the line, Negroes receive
their fair share in the task of ma

In championing his cause via of

magazine, Mr.. White points out the
valor and courage of Negro troops
in past wars, and it is to be hoped
that his thorough discussion of this
subject in the Saturday Evening
Post will be widely read.

According to Hill, who inter-

concerning these robberies and also
about the criminal assault Of Mrs.
Pye by the Waynesboro chief of
police and other local officials. The
police chief, convinced of Mickins'
innocence of all these charges, was
