The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1942-11-18

To the Editor:
In the Northwest Enterprise,
issue of July 3, 1912 l brought to
your attention the American
attitude Of the Aeronautical Me
chanics Union No. 751, by com
polling Negro employees at the
Boeing Company to pay Three
Dollars and fifty cents (S3.50)
per month for the right to work,
with no privilege of joining the
union or future security of their
jobs. l pointed out that the most
striking anomaly of our eco
nomic predicament is the attitude
of labor unions in working
class situation which adds racial
group competition to the bitter
individual struggle for a liveli-
hood. 1 further pointed out that
Negroes problem is far more eco
nomcc than social, that while we
have no desire to force ourselves
socially upon any one, we do have
the fright to expect an equal OPP
portunity to earn a living in a
nation that our labor and blood
and tears have helped to build.
I now bring to your attention
the case of Ruby Black, a Negro
girl who was at that time employ
ed at Boeing's, but has since been
discharged. A case that merits
public attention.

Loyal Negro Americans
Prominent Labor Leader Urges Legislation to
Invadate Function Of Labor Unions Which
Discriminate for Reason Of Race and Color
ROY WILKINS FLAYS
LABOR BIAS

A large audience of white and
colored persons heard Roy Will
kins assistant secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vaneement of Colored People, last
Sunday at First Presbyterian
church. Editor of the Crisis, Off
cial magazine of the NAACP, or
ator and leader, Mr. wilkins gave
Portland one of the most informa-
tive as well as timely addresses
ever heard by its citizenry. Mr..
wilkins subject "The Negro and
Democracy" cleared much doubt
in the mindes of some as to the
Negroes attitude in the war situa-
ton, his loyalty and patriotism
in the fact of discrimination. This
war, he said, must be settled with
just not only for all nations but
for all people although dis
eliminated against in their own
nation, even in uniform, Negroes
will fight to the end for America
because they are determined that
some day this land will be what
the founding fathers meant it to
be - land not only of freedom,
but of equality for all, regardless
of color or creed.
Referring to the number of Ne
groes recruited from New York
by the Kaiser company shipyards
and the controversy which arose,
the speaker said chose Negroes
came out here q help win the
war" but they found that the
bolier-makers' union had a cluase
in its constitution which said that
this is a union for white men. So
the Negroes were made common
laborers, without chance to show
their skills.
With the union, the lilywhite
constitution comes first: the win
ming of the war second. You can't
win war that way, continued
Mr.. wilkins, as he branded Tom
my Ray as the undisputed boss of
the boilermakers' union here.
Ray has hurt the morale of 49,
100000 Negroes in this country
by following the line of Berlin
propaganda which would split our
nation. Dividing our population in
any way is damaging to the war
effort"
The speaker related that Ne
groes in the armed services when
on leave, frequently find that they
cannot get a sandwich or a cup
of coffee simply because they are
Negroes. This is particularly true
her in the Pacific Northwest.
And they find that they are un-
welcome at many service mems
centers, he said. "The Negro in
uniform is regarded as Just an
other and not as a soldier" "Yet
regardless of whether a mother is
white or black, she has the same
feeling for her son who may be
going away to fight in far-off
places and perhaps to die"
In closing, Mr.. wilkins said.
President Roosevelt's proclama-
ton in 1871, demanding that
there be no racial discrimination
in employment was a sad commen-
tary on how we have been carry
ing out our democratic obliga-
tions. The Negro has as much
chance of getting a job and pay
commensurate with his skill as
"a Jew has in getting into the
private office of Hitler"

to believe he could maintain his bor-

on various battle fronts, military
invasion of Spain was not likely to
be risked by them. But if Spain
were handed to Hitler by pro-

Gen. frances belief in his ability

that while the former Loyalists

Nuzi Radio Mocks Romance
Of Actress Dunie|Ie Durrieux

Rubirosa was able to cross the de-
marcation line between Occupied
and Unoccupied France each week
end to join his loved one, so the
radio told.
But war came between the United
States and the Axis and the DOM
ican Republic entered as an Ameri-
can ally.
Rubirosa still went to Paris. Then.
said the radio. "one fine day the
German police arrested him there
as an alien enemy" He was In
termed with other Americans at Bad
Nauheim.
Weeks of separation clouded Dam
ielle's gray-green eyes. She went
to Germany with a troupe of actors
and actresses and prevailed on Ger
man authorities to let her spend a
week at Bad Nauheim.
The radio said it was "a delight
full week" for herself and her fiance.
An exchange of war internees soon
freed Rubirosa, and he left by the
first train to Lisbon and got back
to Vichy when his government con-
flrmed anew his assignment there.
And there, the Berlin radio ended
the story, sure that news Of the we'd
ding lis calculated to rejoice all
friends Of the newly married couple
and the multitudinous admirers Of
the art Of Danielle Darrieux."

New Four-Ton Bomb
Is Used by British
In Raids on Reich
Monster Destroyer Is
Described as Wars
DeodIiest Weapon
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. Sept. ia giant Atom
bomb designed to smash steel and
concrete buildings and shatter
lighter structures for blocks has al
ready been used to blight German
cities, it was disclosed today, and
some British air observers hailed
the monster destroyer as the wars
deadliest weapon"
The new bombs-which the Air
Ministry said were used with devas-
tating effect in recent attacks on
Karlsruhe and Duesseldorf-were
accepted as sign that the Allies
are planning to scourage the Reich
with the deadliest instruments of
destruction they can bring to the
job in the shortest possible time.
In Karlsruhe, 270 acres were laid
waste and more than a square mile
of Dusseldorf was wrecked when
the giant bombs were employed
September 2, the Air Ministry said.
Thousands of fire bombs were
showered among the wreckage to
spread great fires.
Months of Research.
The 4-ton bombs were said to
have been perfected after months
of research. A large bomber then
carried one of the bombs to Ger
many and dropped it over an area
not previously attacked. Aerial
photographs were taken to show
the effect of the bomb.
About q year ago the Air Min
istry reported the use of 2-ton
bombs on Naples and said great
havoc was caused. buildings being
seen swaying outwards and then
falling in toward the point of the
bomb bursts" Now the weight OF
the biggest bombs has been dou-
bled.
Londoners who saw the shattering
effect OF Germany's largest bombs
believed to be about 5000 pounds
cheered when they heard that the
RAF was using bombs nearly three
times as heavy. ...
Only a few types OF the largest
bombers are able to lift the new
bombs of the ground.
Nazis Seek Details.
German broadcasts telling the
German people not to keep large
pieces of British bombs as SOU
venirs were taken by observers as
an indication that Germany is
anxious to obtain details of the
construction of this new weapon.
British officials were tight-lipped
on details Of the bomb and refused
to permit even vague descriptions.
The Daily Nails air correspond
ent said, however. he had seen one
of the 5000 Founders being loaded
into four-engine bomber "and

neutrality. Today copper, cork and
other essential raw materials are
coming into the United States from
Spain, while that country is receiv-
ing food and other essentials from
America. The Nazis do not interfere
with this exchange, carried in Span
ish bottoms, and refrain from sink
ing the ships as part Of the price
for the raw materials allotted to
them by Madrid.
One Of the reasons for the in
creasing measure of success Senior
de Cardenas has achieved in Wash
lnigton has been his own attitude
OF correct neutrality. He has made
1t point to report to his govern
