The Minnesota Negro Defense
Committee has received wide pub
lie support in its campaign to end
discrimination in the state Home
Guard, Rev. C. T. R., Nelson, its
publicity chairman, said this week.
The committee sent a wire to
Gov. Stassen Saturday night pro-
testing against the rumored at
tempt to, form a separate Negro
company for the Home Guard. Gov.
Harold Stassen told the daily press
in answer to queries by reporters
practically the same thing his of
flee told the Spokesman and Re-
corder newspapers last week. -.
The gist of his remarks, as quot
ed by the Pioneer Press of Mon
day, was, 81 am seeking a sound
and sensible way in which Mime
sofa Negroes can demonstrate
their patriotism" This statement
was challenged by members of the
defense committee as illogical and
approaching the ridiculous. "Min-
nesota Negroes have always dem
onstrated their patriotism" Sam
Reed, chairman of the committee,
said, "by bearing arms and doing
their share whenever the country
called. That the Governor should
find it necessary to appoint a spe-
cial committee to seek sound and
sensible way for Negroes to serve
the state and country is rather
strange"

Committee Hears Arguments
For and Against Housing
Enablement Act for State

With approximately $50 persons
present Monday, members of the
Public Welfare Committee of the
Minnesota House of Representa-
tives heard arguments for and
against passage of housing legis-
lation.
Speakers and those interested in
the measure included: Mayor John
MeDonough of st. Paul, DR.. F.
Stuart Chaplin of the University of
Minnesota, George Lawson of the
Minnesota Federation of Labor,
and DR.. Donald ]. Cowling, presi-
dent of Mortified College. Also
present to endorse the bill were
many other persons including,
Frank Alsup, representing the
Packing House Workers, CLIO,
and Clarence Mitchell, represent
ing the St. Paul Urban League.
Claim Housing Won't Help Low
Income Group
Members of the opposition at
tempted to show that housing was
not practical because there was no
need for it and it would not take
care of the people in the lowest
income groups. A representative of
the Minnesota Welfare Workers
Association pointed out findings of
a study in S5 counties of the state
made under the direction of Mr..
Mitchell for the State Conference
of Social Work. .
Study Shows Need
This study, coupled with findings
by Miss Margaret H., Brown in
four additional counties, showed
that approximately Is per cent of
the families under study lived in
such things as: taxpayer shacks,
boxcars, trailers, abandoned filing
stations and other makeshift types
of dwellings,.
Attack Labor Unions
Another attack was made on la
Dor by representative of the
Apartment House Owners Associa-
ton who declared that labor was in
terested in the joining fees it would
be able to collect from workmen
when such housing projects would
be started. The same man, at the
1889 session of legislature, opposed
housing on the grounds that the
Minneapolis Sumner Field Project
had forced NEGRO slum dwellers
into other areas where they are
causing property deterioration"
Although no attacks were made
on Negroes as such, those in favor
of the bill mentioned, in passing,
the housing conditions among Next
cans in St. Paul who are forced to
live in slum areas. Another man,
who said he represented the Apart
ment: Owners Association, contend
ed that: even if you put the
Mexicans on Summit Avenue, they
still would make the houses slum
dwellings,"
One woman contended that Sum-
ner Field in Minneapolis did not,
house single relief client. She
was corrected, however, by repre-
sentative of the Sumner Field Prof.
ect who stated that a number of
persons on relief could and do live
in the project.
A second hearing on the bill is
scheduled to be held at later date.
A wire from the Minneapolis
Council of Negro Organizations,
asking passage of the bill, was re-
ceived by the committee.

To Vote

Following a recent ruling of The
National Labor Relations Board
members of the plant protection
division of the Plymouth plant to
day looked forward to voting or
whether they wish to be repre-
sented by the United Protective
Workers of America, an inde'
pendent union.
According to Daniel r. Foley
counsel of the newly organized
union, Chrysler officials claimed
the work of these employees, be-
cause of its confidential and disci.
plinary nature, was not compatible
with union membership.
WHAT RULING STATES
The ruling of the NLRB states
"The National Labor Relations
Act confers upon employees the
right to self-organization and to
collective bargaining through
representatives Of their own
choosing. The duties of the
plant protection employees are
not such as to deprive them of
that right. The company's con-
tention that such a group Is not
a unit appropriate for the pur-
poses of collective bargaining Is
therefore without merit"
Foley said of the 116 plant
guards eligible to vote in the pro-
posed election, approximately sc
are members of the union. The
election is tentatively set for the
week of November II and will
include plant protection men at
the Plymouth main plant. -6334
Lynch road, and the storage plant
and arsenal at 500 Lynch road.
Spokesman for the union said
they now had 100 members among
the approximately 500 plant pro-
lection men at the Ford Rouge
plant and were rapidly organizing
in other auto plants.

The active Mr.. Cleo Shans
a veteran as fighters go
steps up into the higher
acket of competition
Thursday night when he will
meet Young Black Joe, Filipino SEN
sation who is yet to taste defeat in
professional ring wars.
Shans, the most active fighter in
these parts-he tosses leather at
opponents at least once a week
has a victory string of eight straight
bouts against some of the best
featherweights in the business and
looms as a much stiffer test than
was furnished the Filipino last
week.
Shans. in his last two valley ap-
pearances, scored knockout victories,
one over Babe Antuna and another
over San Diego sailor, whose name
seems to have been lost somewhere
in the fight files of the past.
