Men Who Lead Labor:

as far back as 1916, and was at
the meeting that year when Pat
O'Mara was elected president; Dan
Mckay of the Trolleymen, treas
urer;, and August Striby, financial
secretary. The Council then met in
the Camble-DesmOnd Building, bet
ter known to many as the Insurance
Building.
Back in 1912, Tim helped organize
the N. H. Labor College, which afte.
number of years lapsed, and was
then revived in about 1928 by such
people as Joe Tone, Walter Davis,
and Tins son, Tim Noonan, Jr., who
is now with the N. Y. A. Tins
daughter, Clare, has been a speaker
for the National Democratic Com
mittee since she was p, and when
she had a regular spot on WELL,
used to devote half her radio time to
labor. Another daughter, Jane, is the
diplomat of the family, taking after
her father, of course.
One more fact. Tim was born
and raised in downtown New Ha-
ven, known as the old Seventh
Ward. For its size, this section has
produced more labor leaders and
city officials than any other COM
parable area in the country. And
Tim Noonan has had large part
in the production program, if You
know what we mean!

Federation To Act On Cove,tion At July 8th Meetnq

Action ON the 1912 cOnven-
ton of the Connecticut Fed
Grafton of Labor was post
poned until July 8 by the
Executive Board this week be-
cause a Federal ruling on con-
ventions is expected after July
L. Secy.-Treas. John ]. Egan
has sent a communication to
all officers of local unions and
central labor bodies to this eff
feet. He also pointed to the
possibility of short session,
should one be held. The Fed
Grafton constitution calls for a
yearly convention opening the
Tuesday after Labor Day.
CURTAILED SESSION?
Lack of hotel accommodations
and the likelihood that delegates
would not be able to get sufficient
time off for a 4-day session also
pointed to a curtailed session
should the convention be held. Har-
old V. Feinmark, GIL vice-presi-
dent and president of the N. H.
Central Labor Council, who pre-
sented the board with the Elm
City Councils invitation to hold the
sessions in New Haven, was in
structed TO inquire into the hotel
accommodation situation i'm his
home town and to report ON it at
the July 8 meeting.
The executive board backed up
the Teamsters Joint Council No. "a

State Milk Administrator ID. O.
Hammerberg's ruling i'm favor of
every other day delivery of milk.
BUILDING TRADES
In discussing the growing unem-
ployment in the building trades due
to the lack of materials, Egan pointed
out that this problem was foreseen
and discussed at the 1871 national
AFL convention in Seattle, Wash.
The building trades are organizing
maintenance men in war industries and
seeking to place their unemployed
in suitable war industries jobs. The
Electricians and the Stationary En-
gineers, according to Egan, have led
in the organization of factory main
tenance men. He also reported that
Brickayer, Masons & Plasterers
locals throughout the country are or
ganizing the furnace builders and
maintenance men in new steel plants
which are being erected.
Egan also reported that the State
Health Department has issued final
orders to the Danbury hat manu-
facturers that the use of all SUBJ
stances and materials contributing
to the cause of the disease known
as ssHatter's Shakes" must be dis
continued.

U. s. Troops Take Battle Stations
 As MArthur Takes Over Command

UNDATED, March 18 (AP) - Khaki clad U. s. troops officially described most substantial num- Der moved into battle stations in Australia as Gen. MacArthur took the Allied supreme command, to from Melbourne said the Americans were scattered in camps throughout Austraa's vast domain of nearly 3,000,000 square miles and at points quar- tered alongside Australian troops.

Army proposes to continue that fight We have been holding the Japs in the Phil ppines and we intend to continue holding them" he said
 While the Tokyo radio seized on MacArthurs de- parture from Bataan "a treacherous abandoning of sinking ship" the United Nations took a tremendous uplift from the knowledge that the most successful Allied commander of the war, is now able to direct large scale counter blews against the enemy. Allied military experts cautioned against too great optimism pointing out that the odds still heavily in favor of the enemy.
 Prime Minister Curtin announced that Lieut.. Gen. George Brett, aged 56, is in comand of the Allied air forces in the Australian and New Zealand theater, and will also hold the post of deputy supreme con- mander of the United Nations forces under MacArthur

Shooting Of

NEW YORK CITY-(S N S)-Un-
til the Army gives exact and equal
treatment to all soldiers in uni
form, and until it protects Negro
soldiers from beatingS and shootings
in prejudiced southern communt-
ties, the nation can expect only
bitter resentment and low morale
from Negro citizens.
This was the assertion of the N
A. A. G. p, in a letter to Henry
l.. Stimson, secretary of war, about
the riot at Alexandria, La, jan
uary 8, in which twelve Negro SOL
diers were shot by civilian police.
This incident" the N. A. A. G.
P. said, ''is only one more in a
succession of regrettable ones whose
cumulative effect has been to DEM
onstrate that the Army has abdicat-
ed in favor of local southern white
sentiment in the handling of United
States soldiers who happen to be
colored.
1--WE submit that these riots prove
that the Army has adopted and Is
enforcing a social pattern in keep
ing with the mores of the small
communities adjacent to the Army
camps The Army has taken thou
sands of Negro men from northern
and eastern states, and placed them
In localities whose traditions and
practices are designed deliberately
to humiliate and insult them, and
even to maltreat and kill them"
Not only does the War depart
ment take these men to these kinds
of communities, but the military
police, upon the lightest pretext,
solicit the active assistance of civil
liam police, who have no regard
for Negroes as men, or citizens, or
soldiers of their country, and who
shoot them GOWN without hesita-
tion.''

he whispered.
He squeezed through and stood
uncertainty in softly lighted hall
way
Follow me-" she said.
With cap In hand and shoulders
sloped, he followed walking over q
rug so soft and deep that it seemed
he was going to fall at each step he
took. He went into a dimly lit room.
Take a seat" she said. I'll tell rIr.
Dalton you're here and he'll be out
in moment
"Yessum'
He sat and looked up at the wo-
man; she was staring at him and he
looked away in confusion He was
glad when she left. That old bas-
tard! What's so damn funny about
me? I'm just like she is. He felt
that the position in which he was
sitting was too awkward and found
that he was on the very edge of
the chair. He rose slightly to sit
farther back, but when he sat he
sank down SO suddenly and deeply
that he thought the chair had col
lapsed under him. He bounded half
way up, in fear; then, realizing
what had happened, he sank dis
trustfully down again. He looked
around the room; it was lit by dim
lights glowing from hidden source.
He tried to find them by rowing his
eyes, but could not. He had not
expected anything like this; he had
not thought that this world would
be so utterly different from his own
that it would intimidate him. On
the smooth walls were several
paintings whose nature he tried to
make out, but failed He would have
liked to examine them, but dared
not. Then he listened, a faint sound
of piano music floated to him from
somewhere. He was sitting in a
white home; dim lights burned
round him; strange objects chal-
lenged him; and he was feeling
angry and uncomfortable.
.All right. Come this way
He started at the sound of a
mans voice.
"Suh?"
"Come this way"
Misjudging how far back he was
sitting in the chair, his first at
tempt to rise failed and he slipped
back, resting on his side. Grab
bing the arms of the chair. he

fidence in these streets and houses.
He came to Drexel Boulevard and
began to look for 1905. When he
came TO it, he stopped and stood
before a high, black, iron picket
fence, feeling CONSTRUCTED inside. All
he felt in the movie was gone, only
fear and emptiness filled him now.
Would they expect him to come
in the front way or back? 1t was
queer that he had not thought of
that. He walked the length of the
picket fence in front of the house,
seeking for a walk leading to the
to the rear. But there was none.
Other than in the front gate, there
was only a driveway, the entrance
to which was securely locked. Sup
pose a policeman saw him wander
ing in a white neighborhood like
this? 1t would be thought That he
was trying to rob somebody. He
grew angry Why had he come to
take this job? He could have stay
ed among his own people and es-
capped feeling this fear and hate
This was not his world, he had
been foolish in thinking that he
would hate liked it. He stood in
the middle of the sidewalk with his
jaws clamped tight; he wanted to
strike something with his fist. Well
! There was nothing to do but go
in the front way. IF he were doing
wrong, they could not kill him, at
least; all they could do was to tell
him that he could not get the job.
Tinidly, he lifted the latch on
the gate and walked to the steps.
He paused, waiting for someone to
challenge him. Nothing happened.
Maybe nobody was home? He went
to the door and saw dim light
burning in shaded niche above
a doorbell. He pushed 1t and was
startled to hear a soft gong sound
within. Maybe he had pushed 1t too
hard! Aw, what the hell! He had
to do better than this. he relaxed
his taut muscles and stood at ease,
waiting. The doorknob turned. The
door opened. He saw a white face.
1t was woman.
"Hellor'
"Yessum," he said.
You want to see somebody"
"Er Er. 1 want to see Mr.. Dali

Are you the Thomas boy?"
"Yessum.

He edged through the door slowly,
then stopped halfway. The woman
was so close to him that he could
see a tiny mole at the corner of
her mouth. He held his breath. 1t

One of the major arguments for

legion would tend to nullify Axis
appeals to racial groups within the
United States by bringing all ma

is parallel with the NAACP'? state

give the lie to NaZi and japanese
propaganda bureaus that the Uni
