Reader wants to know: Are
you a member of, or do you favor
joining the America First Com
mittee?"
NO; a thousand times NO. Since
his Des Moines speech, we have no
wish to belong to anything of
which Lindberg is a member. That
America First Committee has not
given you thought since they
came into being. We agree that
Mr.. Matthews of the Afrro-Am-
erican:
HE who is capable of despis-
ing and isolating one group for
special condemnation is fully ca
pable of taking the same stand
against another" The logic of
intolerance is memorable. Any Ne
gro who is anti-Semitic nourishes

breats; any Jew who is anti-Negro
is already on the road to Fascism
and the same goes for all other
groups.
Right-thinking Negro and white
Americans will all agree with the
words of Mr.. Matthew'S: Lind
bergh must and should be silenceo
now, not because as an American
citizen he is not entitled to free
dom of speech, but because demo
cracy cannot afford to permit the
abuse of that cardinal principle by
people and elements which by theil
very utterances show they are op
posed to democracy itself. d. There
can be no halfway measures OF
this issue. 1t is impossible fol
anybody to see good in Hitler anC
his system and also be a frienC
of democracy"

CARDS"
Under the date of July 81, Dr.
Franklin was notified to report
to the Naval Hospital at Brook
Ign, N. Y, signed by P. p. Maher,
which states examined and found
physically qualified for appoint
ment as Assistant Surgeon in the
U. S. Navy with the rank of
Lieutenant (junior grade)."
Later in August, DR.. Franklin
found that he had passed both the
written and oral examinations,
and, since he had been certified as
physically fit, he awaited notice of
his appointment. When no notice
was received, he finally wired the
Navy department in Washington,
and on September IL received a
telegram stating You did not
meet physical qualifications for
appointment"

8. If any of our members are

legal criminal actions against

Brother Schrieber's report Wig
orously condemned the actions of
some members who line up with
the sailors or firemen in such
beefs against members of our de-
partment.
1t was pointed out in the meet
ing we should WORK WITH THE
SAILORS AND FIREMEN aboard
all ships, but the responsibility
for bad conditions, food, short
age of supplies, ETC., should be
placed where it belongs-ON THE
COMPANIES.

and Stewards union than any 9TH
err act since it came into being. 1t
was even more tragic that any Of
fetal of the union should have
been a party to it as was proved.
1t was far more tragic that the
steamship company should have
itself been the party to offer the
mess of potage.
Had those four Race men not
sacrificed their manhood and
forced the ship to sail with them,
the Firemen's union would have
thoroughly understood the historic
answer to the M. c. S. agent: IF
you do not sail with him, you will
never sail without him"
What are unions for? Why do
we seek membership in unions +?
Why do we pay dues in unions?
Agent Nichols taught the men,
bers of his union and the steam
ship company lesson they should
never forget. I'VE are not running
compensation bureau, but rath-
er hiring hail."
1t is consoling that the men be-
hind the firing line may still fight
on. The sailing of the Baranof is
the C. /. o. us answer to the
Marine Firemen.

Beech Case Goes To
Congress, Magnuson

Mr.. Hugh DeLacy, President
Washington Commonwealth Fed,
Lyon Building,
Seattle, Washington.
Dear Hugh:
Prior to your letter, had read
with some perturbation excerpts
regarding the so-called Beech case.
I entirely agree in the general
proposition that every man and
every machine is needed in our
country's defense against Hitler
ism. Anything tending to the en-
enlargement or the establishment
of racial discrimination can only
tend to disunity.
1 shall be more than glad to
call the facts contained in the
story to the attention of those
in authority in this matter. I will
be further concerned with dis
cussing personally the whole sit
uation with those at the plant
when I get home, if the matter is
not settled by that time.
In the meantime, I am enclos-
ing an official copy of the Pres
ident's executive order 1t is in
plain English and I cannot see
how it could be misconstrued. You
may use it as you see fit.
WARREN C. MAGNUSON, M. C.
Very truly yours,

JEWS WILL DECORATE HIS
CRAVE!
Centuries of persecution have
done the same to Jewish wits that
a hone does to a razor-to them
German savagery is just another
episode.
Hitler, like all his ilk, doesn't
realize that you can murder men
but not their ideas and most of
the ideas which gave Germany her
place in the sun were incubated
in Jewish skulls.
The Jewish ideal is MARCH OF
IDEAS, the German, a PARADE
OF TANKS and today, in the
Reich, a lieutenant outranks a
philosopher.
You see many of them in court
but generally BEHIND the bar
not in FRONT of it.
AND THEY ARE ALWAYS
REACHING DOWN TO PULL
THE LESS SUCCESSFUL UP
CHATS one reason why the wore
JEW doesn't begin with an NJ
if you see what 1 mean.
Even in this country there i.
certain amount of hatred fol
the Jewish brain. In a white Gen
tile they sometimes call the abil
ity to think INTELLECTUALLY
but the same power in a Jew i!
labeled cunning.

Boiler Makers Tn.
Charged With Bias

PORTLAND, Ore. The Boil
ermakers union, Local II, with
offices in the Labor Temple here
has been accused of fragrant dis
elimination" by the Advisory
Council for Negroes and was re-
ported last week to the Presidents
Committee on Fair Employment
Practice now holding hearings in
Los Angeles.
From a copy of the complaint
sent to it by the Advisory Coun-
Gil, the local NAACP revealed
that the local apparently is keep
ing four companies which have
stated in writing their willing
ness to use Negro workers in any
and all plant operations from do
ing so.
The Oregon Shipbuilding cor
poration, Willamette Iron and
Steel, Commercial Iron Works, AL
bina Machinist Works, all of this
city are under contract to the
union. This union Is reported to
have refused to grant the request
of DR.. D. N. Unthank, chairman of
the Advisory Council to abolish
its policy of excluding Negro
members.
The refusal was made on the
grounds that 1.-The available sup
ply of Negro labor in this area
could be absorbed as janitors."
The wage for janitors is about
TIC an hour. The prevailing wage
for boilermakers is approximately
SLIPS, according to DR.. Unthank.

crew to turn to and minated
that the beef was settled. The
boys signed on and when Patter-
son stepped up to sign on he was
informed that he had been re-
jected because he was unsuitable
and unsatisfactory.
As there were absolutely no
grounds for the rejection, Bro.
Nichols, acting agent, refused to
recognize the company's stand and
demanded that they sign Patter-
son on as third cook as he was the
only qualified and legitimate man
for the job. The company still re-
fused to accept him but they took
passengers abroad and posted the
sailing for IL p. m.
Clear To All
1t was disgustingly clear to the
MC&S membership that this was
merely maneuver on the part of
the company to shift the blame
from the firemen to the MC&S.
But much to their sorrow Bro.
Nichols cleverly out-maneuvered
the company and left them in a
very embarrassing position.
The entire crew was shipped
and all signed on with the ex-
ception of Patterson and when
IL o'clock came, Bro. Nichols told
Mr.. McKinstry to sign Patterson
on and not have the ship short
handed.
Bro. Nichols explained very
clearly that we are living up to
our agreement and supplying a
crew and the company must live
up to its contract and sign a full
crew ON to keep the ship from 60
ing shorthanded.
Mr.. McKinstry said that he
would compensate the other cooks
for the extra work they would
have to do.
The MC&S meeting also went
on record to support Patterson
1000 as we have not violated our
agreement in any way and were
ready and willing to sail the ship
and cooperate with the firemen
who came on the ship.
While the meeting was going on
the passengers had been boarding
the Baran0 and we received call
from the Company that all pass
engers will be taken off and the
ship probably taken over by the
Navy.
The meeting then went on record
instructing the Agent to write a
letter to the Alaska SIS Co. in
forming them that we were ready
to sail the ship when the ship was
ready to sail.
Deadlocked
The passengers were taken off
and for the next two days the

SEATTLE - Following is the
full dope on the beef aboard the
S. s. Baranof, which tied up the
ship for five days:
The most important event to &C.
cur recently was the beef on the
S. S. Baranof. This beef started
in Juneau when one of the firemen
came into the galley in a drunken
condition and started some trouble
and came out on the short end OF
the fight. The firemen immediate
ly tied the ship up and refused to
sail unless A. c. Patterson, the
third cook, was taken off the ship.
The ironical thing about this is
that Patterson had nothing to do
with the fight, but because of a
previous personal grudge against
him by the firemen, they wanted
him put off the ship. The sailors
backed up the firemen.
After several calls to Seattle by
radio telephone by all the dele
gates, the ship sailed for Seattle
with Patterson abroad.
After the ship arrived in Sc
attic, the drunken fireman was
taken off the ship, The sailors
backed up the firemen.
UnjustifiabIe
After most of the cargo was
loaded, the firemen informed the
company that they would not sign
on if Patterson remained aboard.
The Stewards dept. fully realizing
how unjustifiable this beef was re-
fused to allow Patterson to be TAX
en- off.
Secretary Malone of the MEOW
flew to Seattle and spoke before
the Seattle Branch NC & s regu-
lar meeting and asked that Marine
Cooks & Stewards to take the
third cook off and allow the ship
to sail. Malone pointed out that
there was a very good chance of
the government stepping in and
taking the ship over. The meeting
let him know that we were aware
of this fact and told him to in
struct the firemen to sign on and
avert this situation. Malone stated
that there was nothing he could
do as the firemen at their regu-
lar meeting had gone in record to
support the firemen on the Bar
anof 100%.
The membership had already
stated their position that they
We're not going to compromise on
this issue because the MC&S was
absolutely in the right and they
intended to put an end to this
domination once and for all. All
the crew was paid off Saturday
and nothing developed over the
week end.
On Monday morning the COM
pany put in a call for the same
