age and beauty combined led by
Mrs. 3. Fl. Newton with Mrs. L.
L. Pamore at the organ began a
service which changed the atmos-
phere, and paved the way for an
invocation extending the savior an
invitation to come in.
The Rev. ME-. Boten DID preach
ed the dedication sermon. A mas
terful speaker, he eloquently lifted
his listeners to the heights. He
termed it a calamity that Chris
tians should devoutly serve God
every Sunday and go astray the
days after. Always, always the
divine seemed In communion with
his Maker. Even as he commended
his listeners to God, a stiffness
eemed to have come over the lit
tie temple and there stood Jesus in
their midst.

left the large crowd who braved

happy mood. Heaven must have

F. r. Denounces
Racial Barrier

WASHINGTON-A presidential
committee ruled today that two
A. F. of L. unions in Chicago had
prevented Negroes from working
on big defense projects and de-
nounc the policy as ''undemocratic
and degrading" and contrary to
orders of President Roosevelt.
In the first such action respect
ing unions, the Presidents COM
mittee on fair employment prac-
tees created a year ago for the
primary purpose Of investigating
racial discrimination in Defense
work, sustained charges against
local 597, Steamfitters' Protective
association and local 120, Chicago
Journeymen Plumbers Union.
It directed the unions to "alter
or construe" their policies by June
Is so that qualified Negro plumb
ers and steamfitters could be EN-
ployed on a basis of equality with
others.
The action was predicated on
the complaints Of the Cook Coun-
ty Plumbers association and the
Cook County Steamfitters' asso-
citation, both Negro organizations.
The former charged that Negro
plumbers were unable to get jobs
at the Great Lakes Naval Train
ing station and at the Francis

Negro Walters
Ration Solons

WASHINGTON, June 16-Mem-
bers of Congress went hungry
when Negro walters in the House
restaurant struck for higher wag-
es in the middle of the lunch hour.
The restaurant was crowded
with congressman, their guests,
newspaper men and tourists when
the walters walked out. Most pat
rons sat at the tables for 30 min
utes or more before they realized
what was wrong.
The walters said they wanted
$40 monthly for part-time work
and $65 for full-time as compared
with $25 for part-time and $42.5O
for full-time paid now.
About 20 Of the walters quit in
a body. The other ten walked
out as soon as they had turned
in their checks and collected their
money.
"We're just as good as them
senate fellers," a spokesman COM
planned.
w. A. Brockwell, restaurant
manager, said the waters averag-
ed $3.50 to So daily In tips. Brock
well said the walters had present
ed a petition last week asking fol
more money "and apparently
walked out because they didn't
get action fast enough"

No Program Planned
No definite program has been
planned for the Washington end

The possibility of presenting PEE

1--WE might focus upon discrinina-
ton in industries and such specific
recent episodes as the Sojourner
Truth riots in Detroit, the lynching
in Sykeston, Mo-, and the Odell
Waller case.
''The urgency of the problem of
race discrimination" he added, ''is
beyond question. Some of us who
live close to the racial cross cur
rents cannot escape the sense of
being near the edge of a volcano"
The pilgrimage" according to
Mr.. Smith has the personal en-
dorsement of DR.. George Haynes,

Gil of Churches, and Walter White

Whot Blind Men Are Doing to
Help Win The War

for example, is taken over by
the government for Use by our
armed forces.
Not content with their indus
trial help alone, many Of the
blind have sought to aid the war
effort in other ways. Many sug-
gestions to this end have been
received at the Brooklyn head
quarters Of the blind industrial
homes. One blind cigar stand
operator, who has an excellent
business in a public building in
Brooklyn, has suggested that the
government permit the blind men
to operate canteens in the camps
of the armed forces, TO release
able-bodied men for active duty.
Another blind man, a musician,
said that since he had acute hear
ing and absolute pitch, he felt
he could be invaluable in an OBJ
servation post listening to the

that he, and his follow blind men,
with their better developed hear
ing, could tell enemy planes from
friendly craft just by the sound
Of their motors.
Still another blind man with
an exceptional sense Of direction,
suggested that a company Of
blind men be formed TO serve as
messengers and guides in black
outs This idea, along with many
others, is being considered by
defense officials in various parts
of the country. Like many others
from all walks of life, the blind
are not taking a back seat and
are doing much to help us win
this war.

r.XEN the blind are playing a
vital part in our highly
- geared war industries. Most
of us would think their lack Of
sight would make them quite
helpless. But not by long shot.
In addition to the regular fac
tories. where many of the blind
find employment, there are more
than 80 plants throughout the
country, working on defense or
ders, and stated with an all
blind personnel. The products of
these plants which the sightless
make, have been so acceptable
that the government has spon-
sored preferential legislation in
order TO insure the sale Of the
entire output.
One of the largest Of these
plants is the Industrial Home for
the Blind in Brooklyn where more
than $50 sightless workers oper-
ate 100 power machines six days
week producing goods for both
civilian and war needs. These
men, unable TO see the machines
which they control. have de-
veloped an amazing touch-skill
with tools. Many of them pro-
duce more at their given task
than workmen with sight can do
at the same jobs
During the past year, the
Brooklyn plant did business Of
nearly $500. 600 and it holds con-
tracts with the Navy, Army, and
Marine Corps Some Of its prod
ucts have a direct link with the
war effort, others an indirect
one. The majority Of its output
