National Letter
Writing Week

The National Letter Writing
Week will be observed this year
beginning Sunday, October 5 and
closing Saturday, October II.
This annual event has been in
stituted by the Postal Service with
the sincere hope that it will react
to bring cheer and pleasure to mil
lions throughout the country and
that the resulting letters will
serve to renew or maintain many
contacts and friendships which
might otherwise be lost.
Inasmuch as National Defense
transcends all government and
public activities throughout the
nation, the thought which is ap-
propriately offered in this con-
nection is to encourage the peo-
pie in civilian life to write letters
frequently to the young men who
are undergoing military and naval
training. These valiant, well-de-
serving youths should be told they
do not stand alone but have the
support of the millions at home
who are purchasing U. S. Defense
Bonds and Savings Stamps.

to spread this message among the

Somewhat
Expressive
By Harold HOlifield

A Phillip Randolph is coming
October 6.
Sixteen years ago, half dozen
porters met TO discuss the wages
and living conditions of those men
who man the nations sleeping and
parlor cars.
They decided that these condi-
tons were not as they should be.
What's more, they decided to do
something about them.
BY this handful of porters, the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers was first formed.
The movement PROMPTLY swept
through the country.
The Pullman company officials
got wind of the porters' attempt
at organization.
They were unhappy about the
affair.
They tried to stop it.
They posted stool pigeons to
spy on the workers.
Hundreds of porters lost their
jobs in the conflict.
The porters were damned by
the Negro press, the Negro pull
pet and were sometimes cursed
as crooks and racketeers.
They were told Don't bite the
hand that feeds you"
But the hand was not feeding
them well enough.
Next week, Seattle will have the
privilege of playing host to the
president of this great union, to
man who stuck with a struggl-
ing organization through lean,
powerless years to build it into
the potent bargaining agency it
is today. A. Phillips Randolph will
arrive in Seattle Tuesday and will
speak Tuesday night at 800 at
public mass meeting at the Mt.
Zion Baptist church.
1t should be worth attending.

Halle Selassie Direct
Descendent of Solomon

1t is generally believed that the
Ethiopian, or Abyssinian, is a Ne
gro. There are a lot of Negroes
in Ethiopia, brought in from the
neighboring African regions, but
the Abyssinian is a member of the
white race.
The emperor, Halle Selassie l.,
to whom the kingdom was recent
ly restored through the war with
Italy, claim direct descent from
King Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba, and the claim has been
pretty well substantiated.

Editorial: A Letter


Some time ago one of our col
ored Fathers addressed the stu
dent body of a white Catholic
girls high school in the South. He
spoke about the Colored Missions
and told the pupils that they
could help the work of the Negro
Apostolate In this country more
by cultivating a just and Chris
tian attitude in their personal deal
ings with Negroes than by any
money-donations they might make.
Not long afterwards Father re-
ceived a letter from the Sister In
charge of the school; we are per-
mitted to quote from this letter
(italics ours):
II want to tell you about the re-
actions of our girls to your very
inspiring and helpful talk
could never tell what thrill it
was to have you give that talk,
Father To be truthful, 1 had
not anticipated such a treat with
such encouraging reactions.
Father, we had the girls write
their impressions of your talk and
asked them not to sign names
to the papers, because we thought
they might be tempted to be I'M
truthful. Only five or six held to
their old feelings; the rest of the
girls were lavish in expressing the
pleasure and hep they got out of
your talk. Almost all resolved to
change their unkind attitude to-
wards the Negro. I am more than
grateful for all this because I
know they are sincere.
Our Reverend Bishop was here
recently and he was happy to hear
me tell him of the reactions of the
girls. He said, Get another color
ed priest next year. and of course
we hope to-"
Prejudice and hatred are so Of
ten the results of misunderstand-
ing as of mere custom, Ignorance
and fear. If our two racial groups
would sincerely try to know and
understand each other better, pre-
judice wouldn't have much left to
lean on. We already have repre-
sentatives of the White Race who
quite creditably explain to Negro
groups the white mans viewpoint.
Now, If only more white groups
would invite intelligent represen-
tatives of the Negro Race to ex-
plain to them the cOlored mans
viewpoint, then racial prejudice
might conceivabIy be started ON its
way out. In number of instances
Catholic groups are leading the
way in following out this line of
action.
