Jobless
Entitled To Pay

Employees of speakeasies who
enter the ranks of the unemployed
because such places have been
closed by police, are eligible to
make application for unemploy-
ment compensation. The statement
of the assistant commissioner of
employment compensation is self
explanatory:
1.-THE state law makes no provi-
sion as to whether employment
under the Compensation Act is
legal or illegal" Ryan said. 1.-THE
law says that employment means
service including service in inter
state m m e, performed for
wages or under any contract of
hire, written or oral, expressed
or implied"
Tax Evasion No Bar
Ryan said that the employee still
was entitled to compensation even
if the employer has evaded pay
ment of compensation tax.
"If the employer has paid his
unemployment tax to the state,
and if he has collected the work.
er's share, the worker is by all
means entitled to relief" Ryan
said.
In a case where an employer
fails to comply with the compen-
sation law and pay his share of
the compensation tax and collect
the other share from the employee,
Ryan said, the employee still can
file claim with the state board
and collect.
In the latter case the state in
vestigates to see if the claim is
justified.
No claim identified as a recent
employee of an illegal establish
ment, was on file with the Seattle
office yesterday.
Cup until the session of the last
Legislature" Ryan said, "the I'm
employment Compensation Act re-
ferred only to employers who had
eight or more employees. Now it
embraces any employer who has
one or more employees.

Stimson Hears OF Officers Who Tell
Draftees Don't Shake a Nigger's Hand

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Quoting
from an editorial in PM, New York
daily newspaper, which told how
army officers at Camp Upton,
New York, in speaking to draftees
about to be sent to Camp Croft,
South Carolina, warned them mot
to drink with niggers," and that
down there you don't shake a Me-
gro's hand when he says goodbye"
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
protested to Secretary of War,
Henry L. Stimson, that the action
on the part of responsible officers
of the United States Army is vi
ciously anti-democratic."

Support for lhe U. S. o. by MOI,
than $4,000 Negro delegates and
visitors to the annual convention
of the Improved Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks of the
Whole Wide World will be sought
August 25 to 80 at Atlantic City
This announcement was made last
night Thursday by Perry S
Howard, grand legal advisor of the
fraternal order.
'"The Elks will be more than
glad to do their part in providing
recreational facilities for our boys
who are serving in the armed
forces of the nation, as we are as
sured that the funds raised will be
distributed fairly in providing re-
creation facilities for all races
colors and creeds," Mr.. Howard
said.
The order, one of the Leading
Colored organizations in the
United States, annually attracts
thousands of Negro leaders from
all parts of the country to it's con-
vention. A record attendance is ex-
pected this year, and officials are
urging that each delegate and WIS.,
itor make contribution to U. S.
o. Local Elks of the Northwest
voted approval of the United Ser
vice Organizations for National
Defense.

Following The Color Line
No 1000 Americans

For our money, the President
finest single act in the national
emergency to date is his lou J.
voiced demand for an end to all
racial discrimination in hiring
workers for defense industries.
Any loyal inhabitant of this
country, says the President, is en-
titled to a chance at any of these
jobs, whether he be of German,
Italian, colored, Jewish or any 9TH
err descent. We don't know of any
thing more timely that could be
said just now.
It's common knowledge that
discrimination has been practiced
here and there against members
of these groups ever since the war
began, and in favor of alleged
1000 Americans.
The fact is that there are no
1000 Americans. We're all for
eigners when you trace our family
trees back far enough. That goes
even for our friends the Indians,
sometimes called the only real
1000 Americans. The Indians an
cestors in prehistoric times came
over here from Asia, via the Ber-
ing Strait.
Yet in this country, which prides
itself on being the melting pot,
the haven for the oppressed of III
lands, there is a ceaseless under
tow of provincialism, nativism,
chauvinism. In times of national
stress, this undertow strives to be-
come the main current. 1t mani
tests itself in Native American,
Know Nothing, Klu Klux, Black
Legion, Social Justice, ETC., move
ments; and sometimes it gets con-
siderable power.
But it was not by such philoso-
phies that this became a great ma
ton. The United States made the
grade by holding to the opposite
idea-the idea that this country
is big enough and strong enough
to give everybody an even chance,
regardless of ancestors, back
ground and so on.
If we ALLEVIATE the loyalties of
large blocks of Americans at a
time like this, we shall hack at
our national throat. The common
sense thing to do is to bind those
peoples loyalties and gratitude to
this coutry with every hoop of
steel we can forge. The simplest
and most effective of such hoops
is the practice of ruling out race
discrimination in the matter of
filling up the pay rolls.
Not that we should take foolish
chances with fifth columnists, sa-
boteurs, spies. We shouldn't. But
the government, for illustration,
took a deadly crack at it when it
closed the Axis consulates in this
country.
That is the kind of work the
government should do. 1t is also
the kind of work that citizens
should leave to the government to
do. The rank and file of us can
best combat subversive tendencies
by simply staying American for
the duration of this emergency.

changing circumstances cut this &C
ton short.
Actual Government operation was
ordered in the case Of the Smith
81 Wesson Co. of Springfield,
Mass. Having made use of the big
stick against an employer, Presi-
dent Wilson used this fact to ad-
vantage later in whipping trouble
some union into line when he
threatened members of q Connec-
ticut local of the machinists' union
with disbarment from any Federal
contract employment and removal
of their privileged draft status if
they persisted in a strike movement.
Having exercised a drastic rem
edy with recalcitrant employers it
is my duty to use means equally
well adapted to the same end with
lawless and faithless employees" the
President wrote at that time
The threatened strike was called
off
|. With regard to the two principal
troublemakers of today's industrial
problem, both are revolving partly
over union requests for union Sc
curity"-the union shop.
Pressure Called Terrific.
In both cases, local influences and
the pressure from indirectly in
terested quarters has been described
by Government mediators as ter

World War Cases Recalled.
In this connection it is recalled

the special medition board set up
by President Woodrow Wilson han
died more than $50 cases with the
extremity of Government operation
being resorted to only in one in

to accept the Offices of the mediation
agency. A second instance was de-

plan TO end the strike, refusing to
negotiate or arbitrate.
This was denied by Mr.. Burns and
Mr.. Shoup, who said they hoped for
an early settlement.
Policy Up to Now.
Up to now this policy has been
developing as follows:
Whenever threats or actual work
stoppages reach a stage of serious
ness where local mediating efforts
are inadequate, the Cancellation
Service of the Department of Labor
and the Labor Division of the Office
of Production Management move in,
sometimes jointly and sometimes
independently.
Both are possessed of men of skill
to do their jobs, both are in posi-
ton to take advantage of the weight
of publicity and public opinion.
On their side, too, is the authority
conferred on the President in section
8 of the Selective Service Act to
take over and operate plants where
national needs are being disre-
garded.
A further step in the direction of
settling disputes by mediation was
the creation 10 days ago of the IL
member National Defense Mediation
Board. set up by an executive order
which imposes on both employers
and employees "the duty" to main

disputes as may be certified to it
by the Cancellation Service.
Board to Meet Tuesday. -
Headed by DR.. Clarence A. Dyks-
ira. this new board will meet for
organization purposes on Tuesday
and probably will formulate some
pronouncement of principles on
which it hopes to operate. And il
the Labor Department is in the
mood by Tuesday to surrender iuris-
diction over two tough disputes. the
new agency will have immediate op-
portunity to test itself.

I'VE believe that this action will

The parents of a young man ell
gible for selective service who in
sisted on sacrificing their only
source OF income so that their son
might go into the Army have been
oYerruled by Draft Board No. 7, it
was learned yesterday.
When the young man filled out
his questionnaire he stated he was
single but was responsible for the
support of his two elderly parents,
who live in New York.
The board said it investigated,
and as a result the parents sent
a letter explaining the situation.
The son, they stated. sent them
about $40 a month. They had q
savings account of about $500, the
parents said and added that they
believed they could exc out a liv-
ing while the boy was in camp.
They insisted he not be kept out
of the Army on their account. The
draft board overruled them-and
put the youth in Glass ga, de-
ferred because Of dependents.
