DIR. Browns Open
Letter
The Editor:

The Editor:
Local 665 of the Hotel and Res
taurant Workers Union in this city
has, we believe, the sincerity, hon
esty and accomplishment proven
over period of years, that entities
it to be heard by the readers of
the Minneapolis Spokesman and st.
Paul Recorder. d
We will not discuss the sincerity
and integrity of DR.. Brown, for the
reason that we don't doubt it. The
same goes for honesty of purpose.
Neither do we question the validity
of the facts he presented in his
letter.
Nobody can deny that "Most of
industry is controlled by white
people, good, bad and Indifferent. 1"
And that "Most of organized labor
is of the same makeup" Like
wise everybody must admit the fact
that Negroes are Disseminated
against practically everywhere.
Those are truths that burn them
selves into the consciousness OF
every Negro. The people who feel
this to be true with every fiber in
their bodies will very readily re-
spond to them. 1t is, therefore,
doubly harmful if these truths are
treated specifically even if it is
combined with sincerity of purpose
In the field of labor relations the
color line tends to distort the true
picture of those relations. Indi-
vidual workers are helpless before
the power of their employer. Only
through the combined effort and
strength of all employees working
for the employer can the interest
in the welfare of the employees
as such be served. In other words
only through collective bargaining

On Article

To the Editor: All congratula-
tons to DR.. W. D. Brown for his
excellent and timely open letter in
the November 18th issue of the
Minneapolis Spokesman.
I wonder how many of US who
work in War Plants are fully aware
of the flood for thought" contained
in that letter? Certainly every
Negro employed in a Twin City
plant should weigh carefully his
advantages and disadvantages and
should calmly review all of the
facts and background before max
ing any decision which may or may
not affect his status.
believe the conditions under
which we work in at least one plant
here are on the whole very salts
factory and represent a vast i'm
provement over most of our former
employment situations. We have
no problem of segregation, of dis
elimination or wage differential.
We are employed in practically
every department in one of the
plants, we are well paid for our
jobs and receive the same consider
alton to which any employee in the
plant is entitled.
Then, in a larger sense we are
beginning to break down the en-
ployment barriers and to answer
the arguments of industry and
labor by doing a job we'll. We are
inmeasurably gaining in self-re-
spect and in the esteem of our fell
low workers.
In one of the plants we have a
department headed by capable
trained Negro personnel to whom
we may refer any problem and be
assured of a just consideration.
Are not these things worth pro-
tecting? l agree with DIR. Brown
when he says '1et's look out for
ourselves"

TENDENCY TO COOL ARDOR
st. Paul, Minnesota,
November %, 1912.


My dear Mr.. Editor: l read in a
recent issue of the Recorder, "An
open letter." to the War Workers
of our group signed by a distin-
guished Minneapolis physician.
Rhetorically speaking the letter
was excellent as is usual in the col
umns of your publications.
My complaint against his admo-
milton to the workers is that it
comes in bad taste at time when
intensive organizing campaigns are
being pushed in this territory by
both c. l. o. and A. F. of L. While
the gentleman did not say don't join
a union, the fact that a word of
caution was issued by a figure so
popular in Twin City circles would
doubtless have tendency to cool
the ardor of the interested Negroes
towards Labor Unions.
As a Union man myself of long
standing l advise every working
person to join a Labor Union at
the first opportunity. As to which
Union to choose any person can
make the correct decision for her
self or himself by asking only two
questions:
~ Does this union practice
sound social and economic princi-
Piles that will give the most bene-
fit to the greatest number of its
members?
(2.) Does this Union intend to
take active part in building a new
and brighter democratic world for
the future?
If the Union answers in the at
firmative in both cases and proves
same by precept and example, by
all means join it.
Very respectfully,
J. Nathaniel Smith.

can the proper relationship between
management and employees be es-
tablished. This was recognized by
the Federal Government in Section
IA of the N. R. A. and later in
the Wagner Act. The abuses still
going on because of racialism and
prejudice of all kinds do not alter
the character of labor relations as
well as the need for collective bar
gaining. Therefore, the interest
of the colored workers as well as
the white workers will not be served
by individual loyalty to a specific
firm, irrespective of the broad
mindedness of individual employers.
The important and constructive
role of the labor unions in this war
must also be taken into considera-
ton. Organized labor as a whole
supports the administration whole
heartedly in their all-out war effort.
Individual actions of organizers or
labor moguls" do not disprove this
fact. Donald Nelson has called for
Labor Management committees to
improve production and in every
other field of war activity organized
labor makes it's contributions.
In spite of the fact that race
discrimination has not been entire
ly eliminated within its ranks, Or
ganized labor is nevertheless, the
greatest organized force against
race discrimination and for real de-
mocracy for all people.
With this true picture in mind,
it is not only justified, but highly
necessary that sharp demands be
made on organized labor to make
an about effort to end race dis
elimination in the United States
now.
