Mononghala, West Va.-John l..

Mines Workers of America and
leader of more than four million
organized workers under the ban
ner of the CLIO in a militant adj
dress delivered here last week to
more than 10000 Negro and white
coal miners made a definite bid
for the support of the National
Negro Congress and other Negro
organizations in an effort to launch
a Third Party in the 1910 cleo
lions if both the Republicans and
Democratic Parties fail to nomin-
ate candidates acceptable to the
Negro and labor vote.
Commenting on the breakdown
of vital social services during the
past year Mr.. Lewis declared that
labor, youth, the small farmer
and the Negro People had a COM
mon need to unite their forces to
insist that the federal government
take effective means to solve the
problem of unemployment and
other pressing social problems,
such as health, housing, and edu-
cation.
The labor leader in a vigorous
speech lashed out against increased

Marcn ~, l94O
Dear Mr.. Randolph:
1t gives me pleasure to send
greetings to another great and
representative gathering of Ne
gro citizens at the Third Nation
al Negro Congress. This is a
time in the history of the world
and in the history of our own ma
ton when the wisdom of the whole
people is more than ever needed
if common problems are to be
solved.
Because Of confusion and I'M
rest it is now more than ever
important that the place of a
minority group in a democracy
not be obscured by ignorance and
prejudice. 1t is important that
members of a minority group con-
slider together their special prob
lens in order that these prob
lens may find expression for the
benefit of all. 1t is of even great
er Importance that the whole peo-
pie consider with open and SYM
pathetic mind these problems of
the minority in order that the
processes of democracy may work
to bring about their solution. For
it is obvious that the political,
social and economic well-being
of the whole people depends upon
the achievement of that well-be-
ing for all sections of the popu-
lation of color, creed or geogra-
ply.
Very sincerely yours,

NEGROES IN THE POST
OFFICE

A group of prominent Chica-
goans held a conference recently
with Postmaster Ernest j.. Druet-
gen, of the Windy City, to lay be-
fore him a bill of particulars point
ing out numerous instances in
which Negroes in the local postal
service have been denied merited
advancement and promotion as
clerks and carriers, also that Ne
groes are not being added to the
service in the same proportion as
other racial groups. The Chica-
goans claim that they have lost
four foreman and men in supervi-
sorry positions in the last ten years,
and these men have not been re-
placed.
There is a similar situation in
New York. A veteran employee of
the General Post Office here told
the Age recently that there had
been very few, if any, promotions
of Negroes in the past few years,
and that when a Negro employee
who is in a supervisory capacity
dies, resigns, or is fired, he is US
ually replaced by an employee of
some other racial group.
Knowing Postmaster Albert
Goldman as we have for a number
of years and of his fairness in the
Negro, we cannot believe that he
is responsible for this policy of the
Post Office Department in gradu-
ally eliminating the Negro. We
are forced to the conclusion that
the Postmaster General and some
of his Southern executives in
Washington are responsible.
Negro leaders in all parts of the
country would do well to check on
the number of postal employees of
their race in the service eight years
ago, as compared with those now
employed, and if our impression
is correct that there has been a
substantial decrease, the matter
should be called to the attention of
authorities at Washington.
