Washington Talks
To Union Labor
Business Agents

charles w. washington, EXecu-
tive Secretary, Minneapolis Urban
League, was the principal speaker
at a weekly luncheon meeting of
business agents of the Minneapolis
A. F. of L. Unions. Business agents
of approximately thirty-five differ
ent locals were present. Speaking
on the subject, "The Negroes Chal-
lenge to Organized Labor" Mr..
Washington stated that in his opin-
ion the organized labor movement
has an opportunity to make fun
damental contribution to the devel-
opment of better house relation
ships.
He pointed out that the work of
institutions such as religion, educa-
ton, and government have hardly
scratched the surface by way of
teaching people of different races
and nationalities the art of living
together tremendously. Labor"
said Mr.. Washington, 'has the OPP
portunity of seeing the mistakes
made by these other institutions,
but the question is" he continued,
evil they profit by those expert
ences."
Speaking specifically of the buck
passing of employers and union Of
ficials where the question of Negro
employment is involved, he gave
practical illustrations of how this
is done and mentioned unions some
of which were represented at the
meeting. During the discussion
period following Mr.. Washington's
talk, the representatives of unions
to which he referred lost no time
in getting the floor to explain their
side of the question.
Machinists' Union Leader Speaks
The business agent of Local 1872,
Machinists' Union, stated that Of
ficials of Diamond Iron Works who
told Mr.. Washington that the rea-
son the company didn't hire Ne
groes was because the Machinists'
Union had advised against it were
grossly disappearing the facts.
He said that Negroes are members
of this local although they work
for other companies, and stated
further that the responsibility for
the unemployment of Negroes at
Diamond Iron Works rested with
the employer since the union does
not have a closed shop agreement.
Ole Ogg of the Milk Drivers Union
spoke commercially of the Negro
who is shop steward of the inside
workers of local dairy. Mr.. Ogg
felt, however, that altogether too
many Negroes who belong to
unions do not carry their share of
the responsibility by way of paying
dues, attending meetings and par
ticipating fully in the activities of
the organization.
Rubin Latz of the Laundry
Workers Union, urged the group
to recognize the fact that preju-
dices do exist within practically all
unions, not only against Negroes,
but other minority groups. He also
urged that the leadership within all
unions should work continuously to
overcome these prejudices on the
part of the membership. The gen.
eral sentiment of the meeting was
to the effect that Negro job seekers
who are told that they are being
kept out of work by unions should
bring these facts to the attention
of the unions involved as a means
of clarifying the situation and plac-
ing the responsibility where it real
