Week, November % to 49,
+ This is a peoples war-a war
which concerns most vitally the
women and children of all the
countries in the world today. There
may be a few women who have
not yet awakened to the real dan
ger Of the possibility Of losing this
war and who continue patiently to
wait and watch for the outcome of
it. That day of waiting is past.
Women are now called to action, and
those of us who cannot contribute
our services are called upon to CO.
operate with the war effort in every
possible way.
We have read of what happened
to the peoples of Europe. 1t could
happen here. Our men all over
the world are fighting for liberty
and for existence. We, the people,
must be behind them all the way.
They need food, clothing, medicines
and ammunition, and the Govern
ment must be able to keep furnish
ing them with these needs or the
war is lost.
We have read the story of our
little Dunkirque in the Philippines
and we are determined that the same
thing will never happen again. Our
Government needs our money to de-
fray the costs of war, and we know
it is going to be costly war. 1t
has been suggested that we invest
at least 10 per cent of our incomes
in United States War savings bonds.
Our men and boys are giving up
comfortable homes and many their
very lives just so that there will be
a future for all Of US. In our turn
We must secure that future for
them. Most of us spend too freely,
and If we could turn this excess
spending money over to the Govern
ment by purchasing United States
War savings bonds and stamps, our
men will be assured of getting the
materials they need to make pos
sible speedy victory.
Households could be run more
economically with a thought given

are going to be enforced. and I feel
that every patriotic individual will
continue to cooperate In this pro-
gram on the part of the Army and

Somewhat
Expressive
By Harold HOlifield
Status Quo

For the last two or three months
there have appeared in the col
umns of this paper calls for ap-
plicants to take defense training
courses at established defense
training schools to train and be-
come prepared for work in defense
industry AS yet, no one has ap-
piled. No one has stuck their head
inside the Uurgan League office
and said, IT want to learn a trade
and get a good job with real pay"
The Seattle Defense council has
been active in comforting with the
heads of Unions and the Boing
plants. At last when it seems the
ice is broken, there is no one to
reap the fruits of victory. It is
/ ironic that though there is a
chance for people to learn how to
do something and then get a job
doing it, there are no people to
take 1t.
If the heads of the Boeing plant
had said few months ago, But
Negroes are not interested in do
ing that kind of work, it is not
their type, they are not used to it."
S. e. would have laughed at him
and called him names as to what
kind of fool he was.
But now S. E. is not so sure.
In fact, he is puzzled.
Very puzzled.
Even though an individual does
not want to work in a defense in
dustry, the knowledge gained in
such courses would do the apple
ant no harm.
Mr.. Squires and the others on
the committee have spent good
deal of time and effort in open
ing up this industry.
Clarence Johnson of the OPM
has been out here arguing his head
off.
Yet, the boys of our community
peacefully go about their porter
jobs jumping at the boss mans
command at absurdly low rates
of pay.
If that is what they want, they
that's all they will get.
And for how long will they get
that?

Here's More AbOut
Race Equality
(Continued from Page onel

earth together"
To the credit of Building serv-
ice Local 6, it can be truthfully
said that this union has done much
within its scope, toward leveling
equality of opportunities and lay
ing foundations of contentment.
By mandate of its constitution, it
permits no discrimination, and its
officers unhesitatingly enforce this
mandate.
By the practice of this policy,
it has grown from a few men at
Work in the County-City Building
seven years ago, both numerically
and influentially into one of the
largest and most powerful and re-
spected labor organizations on the
entire Pacific Coast. It has i'm
mensely betered the living and
working conditions of all its men,
bers, and for that is the recipient
of their whole-hearted gratitude.
Building Service. never lags in
civic duty and responsibilities.
Anywhere within its scope where
programs for economic improve
ments are launched, the officers of
Building Service are there. When
the brown viper of the far east
stabbed in the back in the dead
of the night, Building Service was
among the first organizations to
place its resources at the dispos-
al of our government.
Praises Fletcher
The officers of Building Service
are men and women of high in
tegrity. They represent the best
there is in life; the best there is
in citizenship, the best there is in
manhood and womanhood. It's
president, Jess Fletcher, like Abra-
ham Lincoln, is without question a
born leader of men. Born in the
deep south of humble parentage,
Jess has a deep rooted under
standing of the problems of both
minority and majority groups. He
worked hard for years at the most
mental types of labor, often in log
ing camps, but always talking,
thinking, and dreaming of the day
when organized labor would come
into it's own.
When Jess was elected to the
presidency of Building Service, one
of his first acts was a declaration
of no discrimination for reasons
of race or color. For this the
Negro people of Washington are
proud of him. When promoted to
the position of Third international
Vice President, Negroes rejoiced
for him, and it is our hope that as
the years roll on, Building Service
under his leadership will move for
ward to it's appointed task, ever in
the front ranks of great organ
izations that lead the onward
march of human progress.

Land Sighted

Wednesday morning, of the 31st,
I saw the welcome sight of a
lighthouse that meant we were
pretty close to land. AS it grew
lighter, I saw the faint outline of
the San Francisco span of the
bridge. AS we passed under the
spans, we cheered and crowded the
rail to see good solid land and
something that was home for some
and for others almost home.
21a hours later, after we got
our landing slips stamped, we were
free but we had to return to go
through customs inspection, but
that was nothing. 1t was a good
way to kill time until train time
at six and then I would be on the
last leg of my trip and going
home.
