The Mitchell Case

We have on our desk the decision of the United
States Supreme curt in the now nationally famous
Mitchell case.
The opinion of the court was delivered by Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes in which he declared
that Mr.. Mitchell, being a citizen of the United Stat
es, had a right to travel when and where he desired,
and when travelling as an interstate passenger must
have equal accommodations in Pullman cars.
We commend Congressman Mitchell for his cour
age in fighting the case through the court of last re-
sort. But We must not stop here. Other cases must
be brought before the Supreme court until Mr.. JUS
tice Frankfurter's "area of sensitive social pplicy' is
destroyed there.
We must be ever W~atchful, because Congress
has power to regulate traffic between the states, with
Foreign Nations and the Indian Tribes.
The Act of Congress under which Mr.. Mitchell
sought and won relief permits segregation of the
races in interstate commerce or travel, but provides
that though separated, equal accommodations must
be provided by transportation companies. The Uni
ted States Supreme Court, therefore, says directly
and simply, Congress can pass a valid law providing
for racial segregation.
And all of this leads us to ask, A WE HAVE
EQUAL AND AT THE SAME TIME SEPARATE
ACCOMMODATIONS? BEWARE.

Negroes To Get
G>M. Skilled Jobs?

DETROIT, May % (by Robert
A. Crump for ANP)-That Negro
es might at long last get a chance
OF work as skilled artisans in Gen
eral Motors plants on jobs hereto
fore denied them doomed over the
past week as General Motors cor
porations sent letters and ques-
tionnaires to its 100000 automot-
i've employees telling there is a cry
ing need for many skilled laborers
on defense production in its plants
amounting to $3.50, 000,0
The letter implies that skilled
men within the plants will be Civ
en- preference before more men are
hired. The letter says in part
Every possible facility of the cor
poration that is needed must be
used buildings, tools, machines, etc
But the greater Importance is the
know how of the trained person
mel available for responsible posi-.
tions. General Motors is FORUM
ate in having so large a group Of
men with this pracatical training.
'In order that we may have the
complete facts as to men qualified
and available for special work we
are giving you an opportunity of
filling out the attached question
naire."
The QUESTIONABLE, which makes
no designation as to race lists a
great number of skilled jobs. Just
how many colored men within the
plants will be able to qualify for
some of these jobs is, of course,
is not known but the significant
thing is that if the barriers are be-
ing let down it may offer a chance
to those who are prepared for
special work to break through
when the corporation brings in
skilled men from the outside.

A heavy registration of dele
gates from southern states is ex-
pected to take part in a discussion

struck on the left side, swinging it
