employer, the employee and the
governmental official. Upon them
rest the responsibility. If they
would examine their acts in terms
Of right and wrong, more Negroes
would be at work.
Corporations are formed for the
purpose of making money. The
employer is in business for that
purpose. The managers must be
concerned about showing profits.
But the employer recognizes moral
obligations, that of charging only
fair prices and that of paying fair
wages. He has also another task.
He may not want it but neverthe-
less he has it; namely, that of dis
tributing the national income. If
Americans are to have access to
the national income they must
have jobs. The employer decides
who will work. He decides who
will have access to the national in
come. He distributes opportmi-
ties for employment.
Now the Negro has a natural
right to a fair opportunity to seek
a job, to be free from unreason-

A REMNANT OF THE
SLAVE SYSTEM

Serious injury to national unity,
as well as to Negro rights, was
done when the ALL leadership at
the Seattle convention refused to
take firm action to wipe out racial
discrimination from Federation's
ranks.
The delegates showed marked
enthusiasm for the elimination of
the present barriers against Ne
gro workers in more than 81 AFL
unions. lin most Of these unions,
railroads for example, Negro men,
bers are barred altogether.) They
responded alphabetically to the
appeals Of Mark Etheridge, head
of the Governments Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee, and to
others who urged that the conven-
ton take steps to end this remnant
of the slave system.
But through the maneuvers of
several executive council members
a mild resolution to investigate
jim-crowism in the Federation was
defeated. In its stead was passed
a perfunctory' and evasive state
ment against discrimination.
It is natural that the spearhead
Of the attack upon the Negro peo-
pie should come from William L.
Hutchinson, member Of the America
First Committee. Hutchinson ut
tered a foul Ku Klux term against
the Negro-an act closely akin to
the anti-Semitism Of his fellow ap-
peaser Lindbergh.
In failing to take a determined
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-10-24

If Americans could be induced to
examine these economic discrimi-
nations against the Negro in the
economic field in the light of their
religious convictions, in the light
Of right and wrong by which their
daily conduct is motivated, then
the road Of the Negro would be
easier.
It has been said that prejudice
closed the door Of employment to
the Negro. But more accurately
it should be said that prejudiced
persons close the Negro, since
prejudice does not exist apart from
individuals. And there are three
types Of persons who hold their
hands tightly on the knob Of the
door keeping it closed; those are
three gate keepers; they are the

stand against this pro-fascist be-
havior, William Green and other
AFL leaders made a concession to
the appeasers and weakened the
Federation's stand for about unity
against Hitler. They gave the en-
tire labor movement an undeserved
blot and helped to set the stage for
government interference into the
trade unions, at a time when or
ganized labor has made great
strides in the direction Of full
equality for Negro workers IN
unions.
ALL white workers are learning
increasingly that racial bans are a
weapon which the employers use
against them, and should not rest
until they are ended. The crucial
task Of defeating Hitler requires
full unity and equality for the Ne
gro workers in the factories and in
the trade unions.-N. Y. Daily
Worker.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-10-24

There is entirely too much talk
from pulpit and press about other
peoples opposition to Negro well
fare. AS a matter of fact, the Ne
gro has received more aid financial
ly and otherwise from outside
sources than any group in this
American commonwealth. The
truth is, other people are too busy
about their own affairs today to
think about the Negro.
If half this protesting effort"
were directed within and then
transformed into cooperative &C
ton, with equal earnestness and
sincerity, to cement the race in uni
fed movement toward a construc-
tive program, we would soon ac-
complish miracles. Not until we
face facts squarely, can we get
anywhere in this highly competi-
tive age.

Little Man, What
Then?


By Clara Robinson
This world is like an auction,
And you are the auctioneer,
You shout your souls for sale,
For everyone in the world to
hear.
To all the bidders, you say,
It's very bright and new,
It's all shiny and untarnished,
How much from you? - How
much from you?
You say that you want your fun,
And all this world has to give,
And that you'll take your enjoy
ment
While on this earth you live.
And so you go on forever,
Spending every day and night,
On foolish, earthly things
That bring only temporary de-
light.
But oh, little man, how foolish to
think
That these things have no cost,
That you won't have to pay some
day
For the soul that you have lost.
And when this life is over,
And the new one about to begin,
All I can ask you is,
Little man, what then?

progress. We produced men of
note in every walk of life who en-
joyed the respect and honor of the
race at large. The reason for this
was that we were united in aim,
purpose and effort. The race was
of one mind, linked together in
solid movement toward one object
collective progress.
Since then we have made very
little progress in comparison with
our increase in numbers, and to
the growth and progress of our
contemporaries. Somebody has
been kidding US about our "recent
achievements" and we apparently
have taken this kidding seriously.
Our accumulated wealth, pro-
rated, would still leave US a pow
erty-stricken race. Our place in
commerce and government is neg
igible, incommensurate with our
population ratio. Why?
It is because we lack a racial
mind, say, for instance, like the
Jew, and concerted action toward
any beneficial end, locally as well
as nationally. Mistrust, distrust,
jealousy, envy, selfshness - these
are the millstones around the Ne
gro's neck. These prevent his
progress. When will he shake them
off?
