IlO PLAY BIG
PARTIN FUTURE

Washington, D. c. GLNS).-"It is
none too soon to be thinking ahead
to the all-important problems OF the
future" John G. Winant, former head
Of the international Labor Organiza-
tion and now United States Ambas-
sador to Great Britain, says, in an
article written especially for the
American Federationist, official mag
azine of the American Federation Of
Labor.
Ambassador Winant praises the
ILO and says it has an important
part to play in dealing with prob
lens after the war. He hits indirectly
at the dictator states by declaring:
Workers who have been repre-
sented in the ILO have never asked
for the anti-hill security Of the Fas-
cist state"
"If the machinery of the ILO is
to be of real use to workers." Winant
writes, at must be used to meet some
of the fundamental problems of the
postwar period as well as some of
the important current issues.
Hopes of Future Voiced
ALREADY statesmen in democratic
countries are voicing the hopes and
convictions of their people Presi-
dent Roosevelt has included freedom
from want among his detectives for
the future. The British Minister of
Labor, himself drawn from the ranks
of organized labor, has declared So
cial security to be the main motive
of national life in Great Britain. And
the peoples of both countries are
agreed that security and freedom
must be conceived in democratic
terms.
"The ILO must use its machinery
to help to lay the basis for a demo-
cratic structure organized to insure
social security and freedom from pow
erty. An unemployed or poorly en-
ployed citizenry is no basis for WIN
ming the peace.
"The organization can help to plan
toward an orderly and socially de-
sirable rehabilitation Of war and de-
fense industries. 1t can give Amer
ican workers chance to discuss their
plans for the postwar period with
the workers of other countries and
to test their ideas of the social OBJ
jectives of peace and for meeting

Increase To 100000
Workers Benefit By Initial
Decision Of Former
N. Y. Mayor

New Yorw, N. Y.-Former Mayor
James j. Walker granted wage in
creases affecting approximately 4O,-
600 workers in his first decision as
impartial chairman Of the cloak and
suit industry.
Mr.. Walkers award was made fol-
lowing seven weeks of study and
hearings on proposals by the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union, A. F. Of l.. affiliate, and the
employers group to settle con-
troversy which threatened to para
lyze the industry last July. He was
appointed by Mayor F. H. La Guardia
last September as impartial chairman
of the industry at an annual salary
of $4,000.
The decision was announced by MIR.
Walker in a report read to 35 repre-
sentatives of the union and the en-
ployers. He settled many issues
which the union had proposed and
reserved for further investigation a
number of proposals which the en-
ployers considered essential to the
smooth functioning Of a collective
agreement to be signed by both
groups.
In favor of the union, Mr.. Walker
ordered a wage increase of So week
for about $500 persons working on
special machines; an increase in min
imum salary Of from $45 to $48 a

Grafton Problems
Strengthened Out
President Duffy Spends Day
On Shop But Has No Time
To Bowl

Grafton, w. Va.-President James
M. Duffy paid Local Union SO visit
the other day and was on the shop for
quite some time Strengthening out a
few things that required his attention.
We are always glad to have Brother
Duffy pay US a visit, but would like
to have him stay longer. The boys
down at the Ceramic Club want Broth
er Duffy to show them just how he
makes all those good scores on the
alleys but he always seems to have
business elsewhere. Some are begin
ming to think that he fears beating
by the Ceramics. However, he has
promised that one of these fine days
he will come down and really show
us how to roll up a score. We hope
that it will be soon.
The shop is doing very nicely with
about all Of the employees getting in
their full time each week. We are in
hopes that the good work will keep
up. 1t is kind Of tough to think that
we have to look forward to war to
make prosperity but if that is the
only way to get it we will just have
to take it in it's stride.
Speaking Of the war and its results,
the Ceramic Club held an open house
the day after our last pay day and
all of the receipts were turned over
to the Greek War Relief Fund. The
o. C. does not have the exact figures
but the local chairman of the Com
mittee was very much pleased with
the results and thanked the boys and

FATAL TO EFFICIENCY

PhiladeIphia. = I'VE can reduce
strikes to minimum; we can develop
efficiency and the highest degree of
cooperation between management
and labor, by applying the principles
of mediation, conciliation and volun-
tary arbitration in the settlement Of
industrial disputes" President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor told the Rotary Club here.
Legislation providing for compulsory
service; compulsory arbitration-com-
pulsion of any kind-will provoke
strikes, social unrest and destroy ef-
ficiency," he added.

Letters To Editor

saw the county commissioner
backs turned toward Bobby Morris
for the office of county auditor
A high official hurries back for
a conference demanding the OPP
pointment of Mr.. Morris for aud
itor. Morris is appointed and the
commissioners are pleased.
What did the high official say
to the commissioners to reverse
their attitude? It is natural.
I will appoint Mr.. VIM. B. Sever
yns chief of police. You commits
sioners would then be in position
to promote all present county Of
ficials to new vacancies.
The appointment of Mr.. Sever
yns for chief of police will in a
way perpetuate the present demo-
cratic county officials in office
for years to come unless by some
queer quirk of fate, the people
would want to stick their nose in
the new arrangements.

Dilemma OF
Hyphenations

America is not unit but a mass
of hyphenations. 1t seems to be
the smart thing to stick a Pseudo
title in front of the American"
These pseudo descriptions may be
German, Japanese and other such
names. There may be significance
in that fact that those who offend
in this manner put the name of
their ancestry country first. The
country names are usually con-
nected with hyphens ~. The
hyphen indicates divided loyalty,
serving as the dividing line. The
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. talk about
the 'wops," the non-Jewish-Amer-
leans talk about the "Kikes." In
short, nobody likes anybody and
they are all against the Negroes.
The cultures which these hyphen-
ated individuals have left would
better be forgotten as they do not
aid the march toward the goal of

Japanese Are Studious

The constancy with which Jap
anese students win honors in their
respective high schools strongly
accentuates the fact that intel
ligence is not the monopoly of
ny race. For years we have watch
ed the roster of honor winners in
the various high schools. To our
recollection Japanese have never
scored a goose egg.
The second generation have at
no time sought distinction in a
matched l. @. test. They are ma
turally a studious race. Being CO.
workers with them 20 years back
we found each one carried his hand
dictionary, thanked by interroga-
tories of every description. Japan
csc report that only in isolated
cases have they any use for the
words "Truant," "hooky" and tar
dy."
Their business is to learn all
they can and if one doubts they
are performing their duties well he
should scan the list of Nippon
csc honor winners in the gradual
ing classes of the various high
schools of Seattle:
Broadway High School, Frank
Sugino, Valedictorian, Amy Igu-
chi, Salutatorian; Franklin High
School, Nobori Tosaya, Valedic-
torian; Garfield High School, Max
Gubataya, Salutatorian; Cleveland
High School, Mirori Sakamoto,
Valedictorian.
We have strained our eyes to
see a member of our own race
winning coveted honor. Our on
ly hope is the honor roll.
The Northwest Enterprise con-
graduates the second generation
for such fine scholastic showing.

HERE'S MORE ABOUT
Negro Orator
Continued From Page one)

~ AOil dhC OhCI
He enrolled for special work in
the College of Puget Sound at
Tacoma. The fact that he was the
only Negro student in the entire
College made no difference as was
proven when he went on to win the
honor of being the most outstand-
ing student for the year.
Stephenson first gained prom
inence at the college when he won
the coveted "BURMEISTER AW-
ARD" for his challenging Grafton
on the Negro and the Constitution.
He then represented the college
at the Linfield Conference Speech
tournament where again in spite
of the fact that he was the only
Negro among $50 contestants rep
resenting as various colleges from
the western states, won the beau
tiful gold trophy for first place
in oratory as well as debate. Again
at the Jr. Invitational meet he
won the trophy award for first
place in extemporaneous speak
ing. At the sectional Tournament
at Stockton, California; where he
also represented the college, he
went to the semi-finals of the Pa
cific Coast Speech Competition.
When it was understood that
Don Carlos was a Negro, although
he had won three trophies this
year he was informed he could not
secure membership key in the Pi
Kappa Delta, National Honorary
Speech Society, because he was a
Negro.
Not only is Mr.. Stephenson out
standing in Debate and Oratory
but he participates in many activ-
tiles including athletics and is at
present on the College track team.
For the first time in the history
of the college, he, a Negro, was
elected president of the sophomore
class of next year. He was re-
Gently pledged to the National
H norary Scholastic Society

Don Stephenson is the son of the
Rev. e. D. Stephenson of Kansas
City, Kansas, a graduate of the
Sumner High School there and
the Schaffer Theological Seminary.
He was licensed to the ministry
from the First A. M. e. Church
of Kansas City by the Rev. Carl
F. Flipper, present pastor of Eb-
enezer A. ME. church of Kansas
City, Missouri.

Easter Meditations
BY DIR. Charles Stetzle

In the beginning, God" These
are the first four words in the BIZ
BILE. God first is a good motto.
Some of us make it very hard for
the Almighty to do anything for us
because we are always getting in
His way.
There is one God. He is the Lord
and Father of us all. In Him and
through Him we are related one to
another. There is one Brother
hood. In it there is no khan, no
clique, no cleavage.
We are partners with God. He
did not finish the world in crea-
ton. The world is being completed
through US, His fellow-workers.
God dignified Labor by Himself
becoming a Workman.
God calls men to be lights in the
world. Just as He swung the stars
in the heavens when the world was
young, so that men might not
stumble in the dark, so in these lat
er days God is sending illumined
souls into the world so that they
may light the way for troubled,
tempest-tossed travellers of every
race, color and creed on the high
ways of life.
Comfort is one of the worlds
greatest needs, but it is one of the
worlds rarest gifts. When sorrow
enters your life the world with
draws. 1t resigns. 1t puts crepe
on the door. 1t adds gloom to your
heart. 1t doesn't know what to
say; it leaves you alone. AT such
an hour God knocks at the door.
He comes into your life. He COM
forts your soul. He wipes away
all tears.
There can be no death in God.
Jesus turned into a house of joy
every home that harbored death.
He broke up every funeral that
he ever attended by the resurrec-
ton of the dead. There shall be
no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying neither shall there be any
more pain" said the great voice
out of heaven that spoke to John
in The Revelation. Every home
over which hangs the shadow of
death may find comfort in these
words.
God triumphs in the Resurrec-
ton. And in the open tomb man
triumphs too. For death has lost
its sting. And the grave its vic
tory. This is the day which the
Lord hath made. We shall be glad
and rejoice in it. For as in Adam
all die, even so in Christ shall all
be made alive. Thanks be to God,
who giveth us the victory"
