will also note that because Of the
war the place of the meeting, origi-
nally scheduled for Yazoo City, has
been changed to. Jackson which is
more centrally located thereby max
ing the convention accessible to
more women.
The Executive Board of the
Federation has been called for the
evening of October %. Mrs. E. B.
Miller of Yazoo City, chairman OF
the Board, has expressed the hope
that attendance at the Board meet
ing will be 100 percent, because OF
the very urgent problems facing
the organization.
The Convention program, as re-
leased by Mrs. M. M. Hubert, will
open at 8 am. October Both. Writ
ten reports from clubs; city, county
and district declarations; and from
departments of the state organiza-
ton will occupy most of the fore

evening program will be shared
with the Junior Federation which
Is under the sponsorship Mesdames
r. M. Academy of Harrisburg and
Mrs. G. A. Hall of Jackson. A
special feature of the evening meet :
ing will be a Victory Program
lhonoring past-presidents of the

ment of a home for delinquent Ne
gro Youth. Those to be honored are
Mrs: T.: e.. jefferson of Vicksburg,
Mrs. l.. T. Miller of Yazoo City
and Mrs. j. E. Johnson of PIentiss
Institute.
The Federation's dream became a
reality when at the last biennial
session of the State Legislature the
State of Mississippi assumed the
responsibility for the rehabilitation
of delinquent Negro youths. Oak
ley, small town near Jackson, has
been designated as the cite of the
training center and Board Of
Trustees has been appointed by
Governor Paul B. Johnson.
In addition to the formal pro-
gram of the Mississippi Fedora
tion,- several departments of the
organization will sponsor special
features. The departments of Arts
and Crafts, Fine Arts, and Educa-
ton, respectively, will have displays
relating to their work.

FIREMEN MAKE PROTEST

FIREMEN MAKE PROTEST
The Negro firemen especially
feel that unless something is done,
that continued refusal to hire
them. the bar against their en-
ployment On Diesels, and the pref
erence for whites on Stoker- fired
engines will result in the elimina-
ton of the Negro firemen with
in a relatively short time. The
firomen's fear, it was explained, is
accentuated by the fact that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
has ordered that all steam engines
in most passenger and freight
service must be stoker fired by
July /, 1943.
1t Is charged that in some areas,
particularly on the Pacific Coast,
employment in the shop crafts has
been largely closed to Negroes, DR.
MacLean said in reviewing the COM
plants. 1t is also charged that
machinery has been set up by
| agreement between the railway
companies and the shop craft
Unions which deny to Negroes al
ready employed promotion in the
mechanical trades, regardless of
The Negroes experience, training
| md seniority.
Affidavits submitted to the COM
nittee indicate that on some roads
Negro firemen and brakemen are
)aid less than whites. In one case
his is accomplished by placing Ne
| .roeS, doing the same work as
White employees, in a different
| OBJ classification which carries a
over pay scale. In another, the
ompany has openly adopted diff
serent wage standards under
which Negro firemen are paid as
much as $2.19 less per day, and
Negro brakemen are paid as much
| IS $2.71 less per day, than white
firemen and brakemen in the same
class of service.

ing the question which has aroused
some discussion in London since
the army brought Negro service of

asserted he had a copy of letter
sent Churchill by a number of SOL
diers stating an officer had advis-
ed them in lecture ''of the
necessity of discrimination in con

HELP AXIS POWERS
Southern whites are taking their
creed of hatred into the armed
forces and instead of fighting
against the foes of civilization, are
helping the cause of the Axis pow
ers by their benighted ideals, an
official of the war department says.
Wherever they go, they carry
their prejudices and hatreds and
try to inculcate other peoples with
them. 1T is believed that the rank
and file of English subjects are
not in accord with Mr.. Cilurchill's
policy of adopting the American
procedure. This is proved by the
comraderie which exists among the
fighting men themselves, something
unknown to the bluebloods and
brasshats at the top.
