NAACP Contributes
500 To Red Caps

New York, N. VA contribu-
ton in the sum of 500 has been
made by the N. A. A. c. p. to the
United Transport Service Employ
ees of America (Red Caps) to be
used in the legal expenses of the
appeal in the federal court on the
decision of the Mediation board in
volving Red Caps at the st. Paul
(Minn.) Union depot,
The board of directors of the
N. A. A. c. P. recently voted this
contribution to aid in the ire
mendously difficult and expensive
legal battle they are carrying on
against not only the opposition OF
the railroads and terminal COM
panies, but against the opposition
of the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks. George M. Har.
rison, recently named by President
Roosevelt as a member of the SUI.
preme Mediation Board, is the
president of the Railway anc
Steamship Clerks union, which has
a clause barring Negroes from
membership.
Harrison's union, however, ha:
been seeking to take over the Rec
Caps union and making it a non
voting, jim crow auxiliary to tn,
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks.
Harrison's union has been pur
suing viciously anti-Negro tactic!
for years, and is doing everything
in its power to prevent the Ret
Caps from having a union of thei
own. Now that the Red Caps hav,
built a recognized union, and ar,
struggling to improve the lot o
their members, Harrison's uniol
wishes to take them over, collec
dues and dangle them as a pow
erless, revenue-producing jim-crov
unit.

Being ION The Job"
By DIR. Charles Stetzle

The man who is on the job only
when he is wearing his overalls, or
when he is working at his desk, or
standing behind the counter, will
probably stay there as long as he
lives, although he will be among
the first to be let out when bus
ness slows up. Industrial processes
are moving along so fast that no
man who wants to get ahead can
afford merely to plug along, doing
routine things, allowing the job to
get ahead of him, instead of try
ing to keep ahead of the job.
The sound of the whistle isn't a
sign that he is to stop thinking
about the job. It's fact that the
man who is on the job longest and
hardest when he's away from the
shop will ultimately spend the least
time in the shop. We're thinking
now of the man who will some
day land inside the superintend-
ent's rail- while others wait outside
the gate. 1t is so easy to stop
when the job gets hard and to
find really legitimate excuse for
chucking it-one that will be ac-
copied by our friends and be a
comfort to ourselves.
Those who succeed get there
principally because they hang on
when others let go not because
they possess more original power
Actually it's in the little things
that men fall down. Sometimes it
is just a word spoken at a critical
moment which either makes or I'M
makes a mans future. An opinion
expressed, a criticism made, a
Judgment given and the keen
judge sizes up a man and gener-
ally puts him where he belongs
because it is usually a character
and a life which is back of the
remark, and your alert man of the
world knows it.
But principally, it's the man who
is on the job seven days in the
week VIII owill win out. Not in the
same way every day, of course
but always, whether he works OF
plays, whether he reads or writes
whether he talks or thinks, OF
thinks BEFORE he talks-thats
the man who will make his way
to the front, while others ster
aside.
There's no rule which prohibits
a worker from getting ahead in
this fashion, so long as he's or
the level with his fellow-workers
And if he is made of the right kline
of stuff, he will be an asset tc
them instead of a hindrance.

JUST TO
REMIND YOU
By E. /. r.

Death has held a relentless sway
over Race homes in Seattle dur
ing the past 80 days. 1t was nee
essary to stalk the highways, al
ways a verdant field, to fill his
quota.
Our sympathies go out to the
many bereft homes in which stands
vacant chair.
Testimony in the case of Harry
Bridges indicates a Communist
hope to carve out a Black Re-
public in the southern states. We
repeat Communism offers no pam
crea for Negroes in the u. S. A.
1t might have been all right for
Mussolini to send his cracked brain
son to Abyssinia to chase the ma
tives with his new airplane and
spray them with bullets and poison
gas, just as he would have a lot
of jack rabbits. 1t did give him a
sadistic thrill
Conditions are reversed today:
Mussolini pleads to the King of
Italy, the Pope of Rome to Church.
i'll to save his countrymen from the
avenging natives under Halle Sc
lassie.
Mayor Earl Millilxin, Seattle's
new mayor, is today at the cross
roads: Two major problems of in
terest confronted many voters: The
early declaration of Mayor Mill
kin to reappOint Mr.. e. Hoffman
as Superintendent of City Light
alone was significant i'm bringing
to his support the vote that made
him mayor of Seattle.
If he is fortunate enough in
choosing his chief of police, he may
consider his future safe in the
hands of the citizens of Seattle.
Choosing his chief from the ranks
is a step in the right direction. The
names of some mighty fine men
appear among those submitted.
Negroes have no choice in the sell
ectiOn of the next chief of police,
any chief who will satisfy Seattle
will most certainly satisfy Ne
grOes.

By Harold HOlifield

Tug of War
The medical sciences are good,
in fact, they are great. They have
accomplished much toward the
prolonging of mans life. They
have developed machinery costing
thousands of dollars and which is
used in the effort of prolonging
mans life. They have sent re-
searchers into the wilds of the
rockies, into the tropics, into fro
zen wastelands in developing SER
ums to aid them. They have found
the reasons for physiological pro-
cesses, they have learned how to
help nature repair bodily damages.
1t SENS as if human beings are
progressing.
Or Are They?
Research chemists have also de-
veloped bombs and gases. They
have compounded molecules of
great expansive power that would
shatter everything in reach. They
patented and felt proud of their
inventions, something to destroy
tn a t which had already been
painstakingly constructed. The
physicist developed bomb sights
with which bombs could be drop
ped upon any designated spot.
They developed machine guns with
which streamlined manifestations
of mans triumph in conquering the
air could be blasted from the sky
as pieces of twisted junk
IrOnical, Isn't 1t
Science is engaged in a tug of
war. Science is trying to turn on
the light by throwing stones at
the globe. 1t is hoped that some
day people will wake up.
People are still digging for gold
in Helena, Montana.

EDWARD Johnson has worked on
the two newspapers in this city for
more than thirty years. He first
worked for the Record-Herald be-
fore its consolidation with the In
dependent Publishing Co. owners
of the Helena Independent. He
left the Record-Herald after more
than fifteen years service, and lat
er went to work for the Helena In.
dependent in which position he has
just rounded out another better
than fifteen years service. Mr..
Johnson has been i'll for quite
awhile, but has managed to keep
going which displays themetal in
him which doubtless he acquired
at his birth. The company has
shown their appreciation of his
faithfulness by retiring him on a
pension.
With the retirement of Mr.. John
son from the newspaper game our
two daily papers become a family
possession, insofar as the janitor-
ships enters into the relationship.

Sam Wright of st. Paul, a boy
hood friend, was the guest of his
old friend H, ]. Baker for an all
too short period to complete tell
ing of happenings in their lives
since they met years ago. He was
out here on business and just stop
ped over because he was so near.
The Pleasant Hour club was the
guest of Mrs. Mamie Bridgwater
and her daughter, Miss Octavia
for it's meeting last week.
Jesse (Frisco) Newman was ar
rested and charged with assault in
the second degree last week and
put under a bond of $1,000, which
he has been unable thus far to
raise. 1t is alleged he used a po-
ker on George Madix and his wife,
inflicting severe injuries on Mr..
Madix. He pleaded innocent of the
charge.
Harold Hollifield of Seattle,
Washington, was the house guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. ]. Baker last
week.
Miss Katherine Pope who has
been the guest of her aunt, Mrs. G.
H. Harrell and family for two
months, returned to her home in
Kent, Washington last week. Miss
Pope was the inspiration for sever
al social events while in our city.
She enjoyed relatives and friends
she had not seen since her very,
very youthful days, and expressed
the desire to return soon again to
Montana where the skies are al
ways blue and to Helena the cutest
little burg in the northwest, even
though I, myself, have to say it.

Of the air from 1000 feet down to
so feet, bombing and machine-gun-
ming the French troops who had
little more than rifles with which
to defend themselves.
AS the planes turned from one
narrow sector to another, the Pam
zer divisions. their 400 tanks locked
almost caterpillar tread to tread,
rumbled over, their flame throwers
spouting fire 100 feet ahead and
their automatic weapons hurting
cannon shells and bullets.
Behind them came fast motor
cycle troops machine-gunning the
French troops that remained; and
behind those came the trucks car
rying the infantry to hold the
ground.
Case of Run or Be Killed.
There were no French planes In
the sky; their tanks were outmoded
their automatic weapons were scat
tered over wide position. 1t was
case of run or be killed on the
spot.
That may read like ancient his
tory now, but it is in the analysis
of the battle for France that the
significance of the German bombing
of Britain and the British bombing
of Germany appears.
Both sides are attempting to pre-
vent the other from manufacturing
airplanes and munitions in sufficient
quantities to gain fire superiority.
Every time Germany knocks out
British airplane factory or de,
molishes a tank depot, every time
the r. A. F. smashes a German oil
storage tank or blasts the Krupr
Munitions Works the others bid fol
the vital element of overwhelming
fire power has been reduced just
that much.
