The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1941-10-10
By J. A. (Jack Johnson)

A large and enthusiastic audi
ence gathered at Mt. Zion Bap-
fist Church to hear A. Philip Ran
dolph, president of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters, and
M. P. Webster, first vice president
and member of the Fair Employ
ment Committee, a body recently
appointed by President Roosevelt
to investigate discrimination in de-
Tense industries.
Mr.. Webster told of the prob
lens of the committee and said
some progress was being made,
but that discrimination against
Negroes would not be eliminated
overnight.
Mr.. Randolph told of many con-
ferences in Washington, with Pres
ident Roosevelt. the Secretary of
War, Secretary of the Navy, and
others, all of whom were sympa-
thetic and deplored discrimination
against Negroes but did nothing
about it. He told of the origin of

the idea to assemble ten thousand
Negroes to march to Washington,
and how the idea gained in popu-
larity until more than a hundred
thousand were ready for the
march. Then it was, he said, that
something was done which re-
suited in the Executive order by
the president that discrimination
against Negroes must be ended.
Randolph paid a fine tribute to
Mrs. Roosevelt by saying that
even without wealth or rank, she
would still rank among the great
est women in the world today be-
cause of the greatness of her soul.
He urged Negroes of Seattle to
intensively organize to the end
mass pressure may be brought to
bear to gain their rightful hertz
age.
Mr.. Randolph and Mr.. Webster
are in Seattle to attend the Ma
tional Convention of the American
Federation of Labor. Both are
delegates from the Brotherhood of

Grand Exalted Ruler COlored Elks
Brands Lindberg Enemy OF Oppressed

First information was that j. Fin
ley Wilson and Perry w. Howard
would lead section of Negroes
into the America First Committee.
True or false, the Grand takes a
decided stand against the isola-
tionists in his pamphlet, taking a
position of leadership which should
be followed by enemies of Hitler
ism and Fascism, whatever the
brand may be.
Speaking of Excel. Lindbergh,
the noted Elk said:
I'VE colored people can see clear
through Lindbergh and all his
kind. I remember well when fine
young colored man, James Allen,
a member of our organization,
found his dead child in the New
Jersey woods. Lindbergh didn't
lift finger to give even decent
recognition to what Brother Allen
had done. What is worse, he de-
liberately had Allen fired from a
circus where he had gotten a job
because he had no money and was
trying to support his wife and a
large family. That's all I ever
heard of Lindbergh's relation to
my people. He has done his best
to bar the door of hope to the
colored brother, and to keep
thumbs down on Allen who found
his baby.
81 am for America first in Ma
tional Defense and for everything
that will make all her people, in
Guiding the unbleached Americans
of by group. But I cannot at a
time like this, do anything that
will give aid and comfort to the
twin brutes of Europe: Hitler and
Mussolini, by dropping a monkey
wrench into the Presidents mach
inery for National Defense.

Miss Evans is gifted with a very
sweet voice referred to as second
alto. She expects to major in mu-
sic and if it is apparent that her
voice may win acclaim, singing
may be her career.
Following her introduction by
the editor of the Northwest Enter
prise, the vast crowd of music
lovers stood attention. AS the
voice of the 16-year-old miss grew
upon her eager listeners, the deep
quietude was a tribute which fl
nally climaxed in applause and not
only thrilled the soloist, but sent
wave upon wave of compliments
well won. Among the many COM
pliments received by Miss Evans
was an invitation to sing before
the Womens' Century Club of Sc
attic. And The Northwest Enter
prise feels honored in having intro
duced Miss Josephine Evans to
Seattle music lovers, to Erskine
Hawkins Orchestra and the Wo-
mems Century Club.

Multimillionnaire w. X. Kirsch-

friends served as walters and man
ayers of his stores, were bartend-
ers. Guests numbered 40, rich
walters, Including Host Kirschner
registered an equal number.
The bride, Alice Lott, is an en-

in an exclusive Grayson model,

Erskine Hawkins and His Golden Horn
Lures Seattle to Tuxedo Juction"

In the beautiful Senator ball
room, Maestro Gerald Wells and
Erskine Hawkins, the Goth Cen
fury Gabriel, with his golden horn,
welcomed music and dance lovers
to Tuxedo Junction" Smiling and
jittery, they came from all parts
of the northwest. They came sim
ely, in pairs and in batallions. But
they came and there they re-
manned until the last strains of
music died away.
Hawkins is one of the three best
trumpeters appearing before the
public and many regard him the
superior. He certainly is one of
the finest showmen appearing
before the public. Miss Ida
James, the nightingale of the or
chestra, was a decided hit. who
Is Beating My Time With You ?"
Daddy" and other sweet songs
were among her endearing num-
bers. Jim Mitchell, Avery Parish
and the entire orchestra were a
hard working unit, even cutting
short their intermissions.
The Castilian throng was fine
example of democracy. Music
knows no race or creed. So pop
ular are the leading Negro orches-
tras and bands that the leading
white name bands boast of one or
more Negro specialists. And the
soloist for Count Basic is white.
She is the wife of his white man
ager and shares honors with Count
Basic himself.
The loud and constant applause
rivalled Cabs horn. The huge
crowd of dance and music lovers
a rare combination of beauty, chiv-
airy and aristocracy, left Tuxedo
Junction" jittery and smiling long
after the music had died away.
The Northwest Enterprise, the
Maestro Gerald Wells, Erskine
Hawkins and his orchestra and the
contest winner, Miss Josephine Ev-
ans are grateful to appreciative
Seattle dance and lovers of music.
We also appreciate the fine CO.
operation of Dance Supervisor
Wolf and his special peace offic-
ers, Carl Norris and Claude Nor
ris for the ease and facility in
adding to the pleasures of jit-
terry throng.

JUST TO
REMIND YOU
By e. /. f.

The president declares this coun-
try cannot be saved unless we have
united people. This is a hard
truth. No one may deny that, Mr..
President. Nor may any one doubt
the attitude of the Negro in a
united effort to repel Hitler in the
United States or wherever Old
Glory may float. We have no al
tentative.
We feel the white and black
soldier could well march to the
field of battle singing God Bless
America" in unison, in a fight
against a common enemy.
White America is dissipating it's
energy restraining the Negro. Our
hand is not now nor ever has been
raised against our country.
Why does our government dis
eliminate against the Negro in the
United States Navy? Why all this
terrorism in army camps? What
is so repulsive about a soldiers
uniform that it will not be toler-
ated on a black soldier in sections
of our country? Why, Mr.. Presi-
dent, if it requires seven men be-
hind the lines to clothe and feed
one soldier on the battle field, are
defense industries permitted to de-
ny employment to aid in support
ing one black soldier?
Why does the Boeing Air Plant,
hiring $1,000 persons steadfastly,
refuse to hire one Negro? Why,
