Ask Probe of The Az. OF L.
Monopoly On Building Trades

New York-The effect on color
ed workers of the virtual closed
shop agreement granted by the Of
flee of Production Management to
the Building Trades Union of the
American Federation Of Labor,
was urgently requested for inclu-
sion in the Investigation of mon
opolistic practices heing conducted
by Thurman Arnold of the u. S.
Department Of Justice, by the Ma
ACP on October 10.
The NAACP pointed out the
grave Importance of the matter to
Negro workers because many AFT.
building trade unions completely
deny membership to Negroes
through constitutional provisions,
ritual and other means.
In support Of its request the AS
ISOLATION named specific instances
Of exclusion by AFL unions in st.
Louis, in Milan, Tennessee, where
the Carpenters Local No. 259 Of
Jackson, Tenn, refused to grant
clearance to any Negro worker in
spite of the expressed Willingness
of the company to hire colored la
Dor; in Chicago, H., where Plum
bers Local No. 100 bars Negro
members, and in Joliet, H., where
Local No. IL, Electricians Union
refused clearance to Negro elect
ricians.
Others named were the Interna-
tional Brotherhood Ct Carpenters
and Joiners, Local 49, Mobile. Ala,
Brotherhood Of Painters, Decorat-
ors and Paper Hangers, Baltimore,
Md, and Carpenters and Joiners Of
Washington, d. G.
The NAACP said that prejudice
on the part Of AFL labor unions
invades the aircraft industry and
quoted the ritual of the Internal
ional Association Of Machinists,
contracted by Boeing Aircraft
Seattle, Washington,
which says: ,
IT further promise that | will
never propose for membership in
this Association any other than a
competent white candidate.
The same union is in control at
the Vultee Aircraft plant in Nash
vile, Tenn, and at neither plant
are Negroes doing production work
Through the same Machinists I'M
ion Negroes have been barred at
the Bethlehem Shipyards, San
Francisco, California.
The NAACP place responsibility
for clearing up the situation on the
government in view Of the Presi-
dents Executive order.

tinguished. You have in stirring
language denounced the raciai the
cries on which Hitler has built a
sinister philosophy and a diaboiic
war machine. But these instances
reveal that England is no less
guilty of racial arrogance than is
Nazi Germany unles the leaders Of
the British Government summar-
lily order the abolition Of such dis
elimination.
"Such racial demarcation must
not only be abandoned during the
war, but the same freedom from
prejudice must be manifested at
the Peace Conference. Unless
such theories are abandoned, other
and ore destructive wars will tol-
low as inevitably as the night does
the day"
No answer has yet been receiv-
ed.

ODE
AME. Church

The AME. Church Conference
was held in Omaha this week at st.
Johns AME. Church. 1t was one Of
the most successful in many years.
And the local churches Of this creed
should feel justifiable pride.
Here and elsewhere in the coun-
try this denomination has rendered
fine service to the Colored People and
the Nation.
From its beginning, it has insist
ed upon the recognition of the sacred
ness of human personality of members
of the Colored Race. And for more
than a century this CHURCH has
functiOned and grown; her sons and
daughters have won distinction in ev-
cry field Of human service. Through
what they have done and given, mil
lions of men and wnmen have grown a
little better and have moved a little
closer to the God who Gave Them.
It's greatest work must be done in
the years which lie ahead. The pion-
GERS who laid the foundations and
built the edifice to its present height,
pass on to you who live and love and
work for the TOMORROW the CROSS
THEY'VE BORNE.
The lands in three-fourths Of the
world are bathed in blood and tears.
And millions of men and women in
their extremity are asking: Art Thou
Dead, o God, OR FLOWN AFARE".
Faith is waning and in the place of
love and service, stands the twin mon
ster of murder and hate.
The AME. Church has it's great
opportunity and responsibility in this
day when wal IS KING. Our hope is
that this institution will make sure
that CHRISTIANITY throughout the
coming years shall never lack champ
ions Of its cause.

WINSTON CnurchllI,
a letter setting for
tn five types of dis
elimination on the
part of British a.
gencies operating in u.u
this country, was NJ .~cuyr~
dispatched by Pan
American Clipper
Sept. rs, by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
The letter, written by Waiter
White, NAACP. executive secret
airy, urges that the British and A
merican governments make the
four freedoms apply to the coloc
line and that the five types of dis
elimination and other demarcat-
ions based on color or race be i'm
mediately wiped out.
Publicity on the letter was with
held until this week because Of the
custom of not revealing contents
of communications to the head of
a government until the communi-
catins to the head of a government
until the communication has had
on opportunity to be received and
acted upon.
Five days after the letter was
dispatched, Colonel R. L. Benson,
military attache Of the British
Embassy in Washington, called
the NAACP national office by long
distance expressing great concern
ever it and particularly over the
case Of DR.. Walter King, cited as
an instance of prejudice. No copy
of the letter was sent the Embas-
sy, but copies were received by the
Americon Red Cross and the Brit
ish War Relief Society.
During the conversation Mr..
Benson stated that he would like
to "get to the bottom of things a
little more and asked for a copy
of the letter.
After pointing out the import
ance Of Americas 13 million Ne
gro citizens in the national life
and saying that the succession Of
discriminatory acts on the part cf
these British agencies are build
ing bitter resentment against
Greet Britain among certain Gle.
ments Of the population Of the Tn
tied States, "the five known cases
where Negroes were Disseminated
against were listed.
ASHE CASE LEADS
First was mentioned the refus-
al of the British Air Commission
Washington, D. G. to accept Char
les M. Ashe, fully qualified comm
ercial pilot and instructor, as a
ferry pilot solely because Of his
color. Ashe volunteered for the
service and after repeated evas-
ions wos told on September Is hy
Captain ]. D. Milford of the Raj
Ferry Command, British Air Com
mission, Washington, that no Ne
gro would be accepted for ferrying
bombers. Captain Mugford sent
Ashe a copy of the minimum re-
quirements for pilots and co-pilots
issued by the Raj Ferry Comm
and, the ninth of which reads: "Ail
applicants must be of the white
race"
NEGRO DOCTOR REFUSED
Second case of discrimination
pointed out to Nh. Churchill was
that of DR.. Walter w. King Of
New York City In reply to urg-
ent appeals recently made for Am
erican doctors to come to England
to minister to the wounded there,
Dr. King volunteered through the
American Red Cross. He was in
formed by DR.. G. D, Williams,

BERLIN, March 26 CUP)-Japan's
Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka
arrived at Anhalter station tonight
on a momentous visit to the axis
countries which he said should be
closely watched by the United
States.
Enroute to Berlin Matsuoka talked
with German, Italian and japanese
neWspapermen. He told them that
Japan has no claim on the United
States but he advised America to
watch very carefully what occurs
during his visits to Berlin and
Rome.
Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop welcomed Matsuoka at
the decorated station and rode with
him by automobile to the Bellevue
palace.
Thousands of men and women
released from factories and business
houses, lined the route from An
halter station to the Bellevue palace
where Matsuoka will stay.
I'VE want nothing from Ameri-
cans and we leave them alone" ;"
Matsuoka said. They should follow
that example and leave us in peace
in Asia.
Perhaps I shall do something
here. Americans must wait and see
whether I undertake something IN
Europe"
Matsuoka described events since
the Japanese invasion of Manchuria
in 1881 and his defense of the jap
anese course before the League of
Nations at Geneva.
II returned to Tokyo from &C.
neva Gin 1892 in full knowledge
that England and America would
eternally oppose Japan's reconstruc-
tion in the Far East. Therefore, our
place is alone at Germany's side"
he said
