FUGUE AND FURY

/ like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata,
Because I do, not cause l ought,
But can say without compunctiOn,
also like Tuxedo Junction!
Yes, can sit and clap my palms
Through afternoons of Bach and Brahms,
But notes that really stir my toes
Are found in Honeysuckle Rose!
The symphonies of Anton Dvorshak
Can ever lead me by the forelock,
Yet, at heart I'm flat-fOot floogie,
Who likes a little Back Beat Boogie!
o, may never, never say waltz
By Strauss is ever full of schmaltz,
And still know Pm more alive,
When hearing Mr.. Five By Five!
An operetta by Sullivan and Gilbert,
truly list my favorite flbert,
But when my nickel's in the slot,
I'm really after something hot!
Ny oyster oft is Victor Herbert,
And Coleridge Taylor is my sherbet,
You may shun my garish views,
But I'll bet you like st. Louis Blues
Tonsorial artists say they know
My brow is neither high nor low,
But music critics seem to think
That must be the missing link!

Der 18th I read an open letter"
written by one of our leading ply
sicians that has tendency to dis
courage Negroes from joining La
Dor Unions. Had l not known the
writer, l might have thought it
came from a Capitalist or his pup
pet who had never hit lick of work
in his life.
l find generally, that too little is
known about the Labor movement
by our people, yet the greater part
of our livelihood comes through la
Dor. Organized labor is continually
working to better our economic and
social welfare and it is sound as
surance of better working condi-
tons.
Through the efforts of Union la
Dor we have obtained the National
Labor Relations Board; the Child
Labor Amendment and the Walsh
Healy Act; that is National legis-
lation. Locally, Union labor took an
active part in securing the passage
of the Minnesota Workmen's Com
pensation; Factory inspection laws;
various safety regulations; legis-
lation protecting women and chill
dren in industry and advocated I'M
employment insurance long before
the Federal Social Security law was
passed.
From the Labor movement have
sprung the Co-operatives, and we
find in our midst such strong or
CARNATIONS as Credit Unions; Co
operators Life Association; Group
Health Mutual and Mutual Benefit
Associations. It's through your ac-
tivity in the labor movement that
you become better acquainted with
your fellow workers; thereby they
learn ability, and put faith and con-
tidence in you. This is the reason
you find Negro officers and dele
gates at conventions of such or
CARNATIONS as have named.
Knowing the Labor movement as
l do, there is no reason for hesit-
ancy in joining a Union Labor Or
ganization.
Very respectfully,
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1942-12-04

C A HOR EMORIAL
METHODIST CHURCH NOTES:
In a sermon on the subject "The
Christian Must Be A Non-Con-
formist" last Sunday, Rev. Clar-
ence T. R. Nelson declared that at
is not always easy nor popular to
be a non-conformist but the
basic question for the Christian in
any course of action, is whether it
ia right or not" With the renorts
for last Sunday, $1,299.S2 have
been raised in the Camphor Vic
tory Campaign. The time of the
rally has been extended two weeks
in order that the total amount Of
81, $500 may be raised.
Rev. Nelson will preach at the
IL a. M, service, Sunday, Dec. 8.
The Communion of the Lords Sup
per will follow the sermon.

Very respectfully,
Cyrus L. Lewis.

Editors Note: There was nothing in
DR.: Browns letter to this newspaper which
indicated he was against Negroes joining
labor unions. He belabored both bad. un-
fair industrialists and bad unions and
there are some of both. In our opinion DR..
Brown simply wanted to warn Negroes to
proceed with caution on both fronts and
we believe his suggestion was appreciated
by fairminded people and that it started
the people to thinking.
We recommend that Mr.. Lewis read DR..
Browns letter again and he might gain a
different Interpretation.

It was pointed out that the only
action the WLB can take II the
