corning my attitude toward my

do not subscribe to or support,

I consider that the hate-mongering
prevalent against the Jews is of

which he Is unable to repay Is
bound by the threat Of penal san
ction to remain at his employment

Such coerced labor is peonage.
"And it is no less so because a
presumed initial fraud rather than
subsequent breach of the en-
ployment contract Is the asserted
target of the statute. It is of
course clear that peonage is a form
of involuntary servitude within the

Filling a brief as friend Of the

Recent federal investigations in
Georgia" the Justice Department
said, 'have disclosed that the in
voluntary service of debtors has
been coerced in whole or in part by
the threat of prosecution under the
state statute.
I'm the face of colorado legality
under the state law of such en-
forced labor in liquidation of debts,
it is impossible as practical mat
ter to obtain indictments and con-
victions and the result has been
that the federal statues have been
rendered nugaory."
The federal statutes named pro-
hibited "the holding or returning

Negroes Fail To Back
War, Say Their Leaders

NEW YORK-America's 10000
900 Negroes, a group of their own
leaders held, are not "wholeheart-
edly and unreservedly" supporting
the present war effort.
This conclusion that one-tenth of
the nations population is not call
out" behind the fight to defeat the
Axis powers was agreed upon Sat
urday by a SO to 5 vote at a ma
tional conference of representative
Negro leaders.
The question was posed by Viii
liam H. HASTE, Negro civilian aide
to Secretary of War Stimson, and
precipitated stormy debate among
the surprised delegates.
Speakers emphasized their be-
lief that Negroes were not dis
loyal to the United States or SYM
pathetic to Hitlerism. Negro apa-
thy and lack of cooperation in the
war effort, they asserted was re-
sulting from what they termed
numerous determinations against
the race in the defense program.
Walter White, executive scere-
tary of the Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
declared that the War and Navy
Departments were "honeycombed''
with Southerners, who he said did
not represent enlightened opinion
in the South but dominated gov
eminent policy concerning Ne
groes.

Building Service Union Is Example
On Race Equality
BY Jack johnson

AS the year of 1941 comes to a
close, I express the appreciation
of the Negro people of the State
of Washington to the officers and
members of Building Service EN-
ployees International Union for the
fair and impartial treatment ac-
corded to its Negro members.
Negroes, being minority group,
in this country, and having served
a long period of human slavery,
are the natural victims of the dy-
manic qualities of unregulated
modern life. Their economic stat
us is somewhat different from
that of the rest of the population,
even from the general wage earn
ing population, by being intricate
ly bound up with other special So
cial and cultural factors.
These other factors are the his
torical relationship of Negroes to
the development of American in
dustry and life; the unacceptable
limitation of their cultural and &C.
onomic expansion by the very in
situations which they have helped,
helplessly to create; their high WIS.,
Utility as a group; and the sern
necessity in periods of economic
distress as well as great national
expansion, to make swift adjust
ment as a conspicuous minority,
to bewildering complicated econ
omic structure, if they are to sur
vive in it.
Exclusion Is Wrong
One of the striking anomalies
of the Negroes economic predi-
cament is the attitude of his fell
lows in working class situation
which adds racial group competi-
ton to the bitter individual strug-
gle for a livelihood. While much
of the failure of inclusion is due
to their previous elimination from
organized fields, and to the gener-
al lack of organization in fields
of greatest Negro concentration,
the fact remains that direct ex-
clusion by many craft unions is a
widespread practice.
This attitude by unions have

Miss Chappell, Hawaiian Evacuee,
Writes Own Story OF Her Flight From
Terror Stricken Isle OF Paradise
BY ARLIE CHAPPELL

Sunday, Dec. 7th, 3:45, all
aboard on the Hilo Consolidated
R. R. one sixty-three mile round
trip excursion up the Hamakua
coast and back was the blissful
way I started out on that fateful
history making day, totally una
ware of what had happened two
hours before. About 1920 that
morning, stopping at Honomu, a
passenger got off the train and
went into a house across the tracks
and came out a short time later
saying, "all ambulances, doctors,
and nurses were being called for
an emergency in Honolulu. What
had happened she hadn't heard.
An air raid practice? 1t couldn't
be anything serious, so we thought.
AS we rolled along the incredible
story was enlarged upon with our
version of what could be the rea-
son for such a call. Could Oahu
have been attacked in spite of all
our feeling of security?
On our way back, more people
boarded the train, adding to the
seemingly impossible story that
Honolulu had been attacked by the
Japs. Most of US were still doubt
full that it had actually happened,
until several Legionnaires got on
saying that everyone had been
called for the emergency. BY the
