Freight Handlers
Reject Green's Jim
Grow Order

Stating that they will not be
shunted into a powerless, jimcrow
organization" colored freight ham
dlers, express and station employ
ees throughout the country have
notified William Green, A. F. of l..
head, that they will not abide by
his order to join an auxiliary" of
white brotherhood.
In rejecting Green's order to
turn in their individual charters
as federal union locals and join the
auxiliary" as a subordinate of the
lilywhite Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks, it was pointed out that
members of the proposed organ
ization would be shorn of all vot-
ing privilege in the A. F. of l..
since they cannot even send rep
resentatives to the grand lodge of
the. white group.
Furthermore, the colored work
ers contend, attempt to force this
unequal set-up is contrary to the
policy of the A. F. of L. which
has consistently gone on record
during national conventions as
against all forms of discrimination
on account of race or color.

Willkie Speech

Continued from Page One)
does not understand, it has no
Harvard Tilt to it-then speak up
and I will restate it. I will carry
out the Republican platform
pledge to the Negro by seeing to
it that Jim Crow departments in
the Federal government, and in
the divisions which the New Deal
created by executive decree, are
eliminated, and that colored citiz-
ems are appointed to any branch
of the Federal Civil Service to
which they are qualified.
Il will give the Negro a chance
to be heard before Government
takes its decisions affecting his well
fare and rights denied under the
New Deal. 1t is my profound con-
viction that the Democratic party
is incapable of protecting the civil
liberties in this country in times
of stress, and believe that the
colored citizen above all others
needs the leadership that can pro-
tect the civil liberties of every
group. I pledge myself to give
you such leadership.
Now, let me say to you that
1 am a complete believer in DEM
ocracy, and I think it the most
effective way of life. I think we
must make it so effective that no
proletarian dictator will seek or
dare to strike us. But we cannot
make it so effective against those
proletarian rulers if we deprive
ourselves of the opportunities and
the talents and the abilities and
the enterprise of 10 per cent of
our population.
IT summon all of you people
here today to the great crusade of
calling it back to effectiveness.
I ask all of you colored people
to join with me because you know
better than any others the pride of
disunity and prejudice.
II pledge you that I will never
preach intolerance. Intolerance is
what has torn the world to pieces
in this armed conflict of destruc-
ton.
"I call all Americans, colored,
White, Jews, Catholice and Chris
tians into a great United America
to make this the most glorious
place in the world.

Bernard e. Squires, Urban League
Executive of Seattle as speaker for
the morning worship. Being a So
biologist, Mr.. Squires based his
gripping message on the social and
economic ills of the race group of
of this present day. One readily
CLEANED from the speakers point
ed assertions, that there is de-
finite part to be played by the
church socially and economically.
Leadership of the oppressed as was
definitely pointed out and which
dates back to Moses and the Is
raelites, should have the Spiritual
guidance of the church. Not in
the sense of the Church assuming
a dictatorial attitude but that the
two go hand in hand.
Mr.L. R. Blackburn, represent
ing the official Board, made an ap-
peal to the membership for their
whole hearted cooperation in exc
cutting the program as worked out

Battle Cry of the Mothers
By Angela Morgan
Bone of our bone, flesh of our
flesh,
Fruit of our age-long mother pain,
They have caught your life in the
nations mesh,
They have bargained you out for
their paltry gain
And they build their hope on the
shattered breast
OF the child we sang to rest.
On the shattered breast and the
wounded cheek
o, God! If the mothers could
only speak,
Blossom of centuries trampled
down
For the moments rod renown.
Pulse of our pulse, breath of our
breath, p
Hope of the pang that brought to
birth,
They have flung you forth to the
fiends of death,
They have cast your flesh to the
cruel earth,
Field upon field, tier upon teir
Till the darkness writhes in fear.
And they plan to marshal you
more and more
Oh, our minds are numb and our
hearts are sore!-
They are killing the thing we
cherish most,
They are driving you forth in a
binding host,
They are storming the world with
your eager strength
But the judgment comes at length.
Emperors! Kings! On your heed
less throne,
Do you hear the cry that the
mothers make?
The blood you shed is our own, our
own,
You shall answer, for your sake.
When you pierce his side, you have
pierced our side
o, mothers! The ages we have
And the shell that sunders his
flesh apart
Enters our bleeding heart.
'Tis over our bodies you shout
your way,
Our bodies that nourished him,
day by day
In the long dim hours of our
sacred bliss,
Fated to end in this!
Governors! Ministers. You who
pirate
That war and ravage and wreck
must be
To save the nation, avenge the
state,
To right mems wrongs and set
them free
You who have said
Blood must be shed
Nor reckoned the cost of our ag-
ony-
Answer US now! Down the ages
long
Who has righted the mothers
wrong?
You have bargained our milk, you
have bargained our blood,
Nor counted us more than the
forest brutes;
BY the shameful traffic of moth
erhood
Have you settled the worlds dis
putes.
Did you think to barter the perfect
bloom,
Bodies shaped in our patient womb
And never to face the judgment
day
When you and your kind should
pay?
