AMERICANS ALL

We're the boys who do the forging
At the famous Atha works;
Where every worker does his duty
No one stalls and no one shirks.
So here's bit of information
For the boys who're over there;
The gang that fights from way down under
And those that battle in the air.
Yod are not alone, old timers,
In this fight to save the earth:
We the boys down in the forge room
Are battling for all we're worth.
While you're lighting for the Nation
When and where your duty calls;
While you're soldiers dressed in Khaki,
We're recruits In oyeralls.
Sweating, striving and a-toing,
Labosng both day and night;
While IT'S hot out in the desert
Here It's two-ten Fahrenheit
We are making sacrifices,
But you never hear us cry:
We are tired, we are wounded,
Yes, some OF our boys also die.
Furnace roaring, hot steel flying,
Cranes a-running over head;
Torches burning, presses forging,
Flying sparks a-gloving red.
Grease and dirt and SCOT and water,
Smoke so black It's hard to see;
Still we go forever onward,
You see We too, love liberty.
Often people ask the question,
what is it you do, pray tell?"
"Who me? Oh, I'm nobody;
just the guy that rolls the shells.
begin in early morning,
Rolling red hots against the wall;
Walk until my feet are fattened
Walk until my arches fall.
My brow is wet, my feet are burning
And I've nearly broke my back;
Did someone say Lets Keep En- Rolling"
Now really, you're not kidding, Mack.
Among the things that keep us going
When our spirits not so we'll
Is the thought that it is hotter
Yes much hotter down in Hell.
There are things that we are doing
AS we strive to beat the foe
We don't ask for any credit
just thought you ought to know.
But through all our tolls and labor,
All our faces bear a grin;
We have one great consolation
In the end-our side will win.

COMMENTS

CURRENT TOPICS

Twenty-Five to forty years
ago, parties from the north ex-
cursioned through the south in
pullmanS, chartered by the Ma
tional Colored Business League
and the National Medical Asso-
citation. l was a party on sew
eral of these excursions, the
last being the NNBL to Little
Rock Arkansas, and the NINA to
Tuskegee, Ala.
While travelling through the
southern states, we passed in
both directions freely through
the cars to the segregated coach
and the diner without being
molested, except by glaring
eyes and modulated eiacula-
tionS.
Congress was then controlled
by Republicans. The Equal
Rights League, and the Niagara
Movement, organizations of coll
ored people, we're intensely &C
tive. They we're continuously
prodding the administration on
the prosecutions against the
colored population. Republic
can Congressman, particularly
from Massachusetts and Ohio
and other dominant Republican
States, the pulpit and press were
denouncing in no uncertain
terms the race policy of the
south. Under these conditions
these parties from the north
were sort of awe inspiring on
the holiness of the southerner.
Since the Wilson Administra-
ton and the Congress have been
more or less dominated by
Democrats great changes have
resulted to the detriment of
colored people in all parts of
the world.
Newspaper reports are cur
rent giving accounts of a pull
man party, enroute to the Ma
tional Baptist Convention at
Memphis, Tenn. being assaulted
and prominent and aged mem
bers of the party being beaten
up in northern Alabama.

In discussing the Youth
Movement in my column last
week, I pointed out what we
must expect by being Demo-
Gratis, or voting for Democratic
Candidates. On Wednesday,
September 9th. PM, used UP
eight pages in telling what I
tried to say in a single column.
It is the dangers to the politi-
cal progress of our race in
sending Democrats to Congress.
A copy of that edition should
be in every colored home. It
most certainly points out the
real dangers that confront us
as a race, and what further
SetbackS we may expect before
we reach the citadel of race
equality before the law.
