The manager attempted to pass
his practice of discrimination on
to his employees. The committee
in sharp words let him know that
they weren't kidding about the
matter.
Members Of the committee
pointed out that our nation was in
war fighting for democracy. In
order to win the war we must prac-
tice and fight for democracy on the
home front as well as on the mill
tary front. It was explained that
it was the American Hitlerites, the
Fifth Columnists, the K. K. K. who
preach and practice race hatreds in
order to divide the people.
It was agreed that the manager
would post a notice that no dis
elimination would take place in his
restaurant hereafter.
Later the committee met Bill
Robinson and his troupe. Bill Rob-
inson was quite pleased with the
results of the meeting. He stated
to the members of his cast, "Here
are white men who left their work
to fight this battle"
A committee member said: "Ru-
bin Late and La Verne Noon, CO.
chairmen of Labor's Victory COM
mittee, know their responsibility in
fighting discrimination. They know
that the Negro people are willing
to make sacrifices to win the war.
They only ask for the opportunity
to work on an equal basis with the
whole population to win the war.

Minnesota's youthful leader, an
nounced the appointment of
Samuel L. Ransom, well known st.
Paulite, as a Major on the Gov
ernor's Staff of the Minnesota De-
tense Force, in a press conference
in his office Wednesday morning.
Attired in the uniform denoting
his rank, Major Ransom smiled
pleasantly, as did the Governor,
when he was given the certificate
of the appointment. Governor
Stassen, General Ellard Walsh, the
active head of the Minnesota De-
tense Force, and Major Ransom,
stood for several minutes posing
for four photographers, represent
ing Minneapolis and st. Paul
dailies and the Associated Press.

Major Ransom, in an exclusive
interview with the Spokesman and
Recorder representative, said: 81

Double V for Victory Campaign.
am cognizant of the honor which
the Governor has bestowed upon
me and l shall do all in my power
to bring about the opening for new
fronts for my people and a thor
ough understanding of the aims
and wishes of both races, in order
that we may go all out for VIC
tory" When asked whether he
was made an officer for a Negro
or jim-crow outfit, Major Ransom
said that he was a Major of the
Minnesota Defense Force for all
the citizens, and not for any par
ticular race group.
The Governor could not be con-
tacted Wednesday afternoon for a
statement in answer to the report
er's query as to whether Major
Ransom would be "Major for Ne
groes" or a full fledged Major in
the Minnesota Defense Force,
which has refused to accept Ne
groes on equality with whites.
Governor Stassen and his military
aides have been sued by Lee K.
Turpin, st. Paul, for alleged dis
elimination against Negroes in the
Minnesota Defense Force.
Major Ransom was a First Lieu
tenant in the 370th Infantry (the
Old 9Th nlinois) of the A.E.F. in
the first World War. He was
wounded in action in the battle
outside of Leon November /, 1918,
and is a member of the Military
Order of the Purple Heart. Major

and a past grand master in the
Minnesota Jurisdiction of the F.

Pilgrim Baptist Church and has
held various offices in this church.

tive clerk in the st. Paul Post

Granger Important National
Figure
While comparatively a young
man, Lester Granger is one of the
country's most important Negroes.
He has been in Urban League or
allied social work for many years.
Prior to taking his post as exec
utive secretary, he had served as
head of the Leagues Department
of Industrial Relations; he was
member of the professional staff
of the Welfare Council of New
York as secretary of its standing
committee on Negro Welfare.
An officer in the A. E. F., he was
educated at Dartmouth, New York
University, New York School of
Social Work and Dana College and
is a member of IS boards and Or
CARNATIONS allied with Negro and
social welfare work.
Horn Set Employment Precedents
Charles L. Horn, president of
Federal Cartridge Corporation, is
one of the most prominent figures
in the Northwest.
AS prime contractor for the Twin
Cities Ordnance, he manages the
largest defense plant in this area.
Shortly after he signed contracts
for the plant, he announced pub
licly that Negroes would be given
opportunity along with all other
Americans to work at the jobs for
which they were best qualified.
Negroes up to that time had
been practically barred from Twin
City defense plants. After his dec
laration he Immediately started to
keep his word.
First and Only Negro Guards
Among the first go plant guards,
very responsible positions, five Ne
groes were appointed. To date,
II Negro guards are employed at
the plant, more Negro officers
than can be found in both st. Paul
and Minneapolis police and fire de-
partments. This is the only known
defense plant in the country which
has Negro guards.
Other Important Positions
The service and custodial forces
at the plant are supervised by J.
W. Pate, a Negro. Another Negro
is foreman of an entire floor with
SO per cent white personnel work
ing under him.
Women Machine Operators
Negro women are learning to
operate power machines at Twin
Cities Ordnance, also a national
precedent for arms plants through
out the country.
His attitude is rapidly permeat-
ing the entire Twin City defense
plant personnel attitudes and other
plants are slowly becoming more
liberal because of Mr.. Horns ex-
ample on the matter of giving en-
ployment opportunities.
Monday night will be the first
chance the Negro public and its
white friends have had to see and
hear the employer who has carried
out President Roosevelt's Execu-
tive Order 1902, figuratively and
literally.
