Pegler
Good old Pegler has come back
not once, not twice-but three
times. Each time stronger-with
a complete turnabout-for the Me-
gro. Why?
Pegler who has found, like many
a wise metropolitan editor, that
"a line about a Negro in the white
press means a long line forming
at the news stands" Newspapers
like the New York Daily News,
Herald Tribune, p. M, the Wash
ington Post, Cleveland Plaindeal-
er, to name a handful, have always
been kind and gentle in writing
Of and about Negroes. As a re-
suit they have a guaranteed news
stand circulation in sales from
ace readers. More people are
now reading Pegler than ever be-
fore.
The Negro Press that Pegler
claimed vas not really (?) to be
considered journalistic in any
sense now is giving Pegler muck
space in rewriting in part or
whole his articles that are now
in favor and not against Negroid
policies. The whip, my friends.
now has become the golden rule
and u editors, educators, schol-
ars, and the race as a whole-that
has become an ardent reader Of
Pegler now-is attending school.
Prof. Pegler no doubt chuckles
to himself when classes are out.
And why shouldn't he? He has
found that if you step on the
clutch too hard that the going
will be rough. Ease down on 1t
slightly, lightly n politely-and,
well, you know the rest.

INDUSTRY PERSISTS IN
EXCLUDING NEGROES
Labor Shortages Threatened But
Refusals Continue-Future
Possibilities Discussed

BY Emmett J.. Scott
Washington, D. CAS- ma
tional mobilization of man power
proceeds, it becomes increasingly
evident that a labor shortage in
the United States is in the offing-
forecast to occur between July 1,
1912, and July 1, 1943.
The conversion of industry to
war production will call for a
schedule of 10, 1000, 900 additional
war production workers, and an
additional 1000, 900 men for con-
tingents of the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps.
This startling revelation gives
some notion of Americas colossal
war preparation now underway,
calling for 4,2O0,O 900 men in uni
form, and $4,000. 900 other to be
employed in turning out the i'm
plements of war by December of
this year.
Coincident with the release Of
this information comes a survey
study of employment prospects for
Negroes in armament industries
just published by the Reports and
Analysis Division of the Bureau
Of Employment Security of the So
cial Security Board.
Summary of Findings
A summary of its findings in
cicates that Negroes were not con-
sidered for employment in 81 per
cent of 282,245 openings that oc-
CURED in selected establishments
in defense industries during the
period September, 1941-Febru-
ary, 1912.
Questioning of employers by
Employment Service i~nterviewers
revealed that the degree Of exclu-
sion is ven greater at the higher
skill levels. At all skill levels
there are occupations with heavy
defense labor requirements in
which most employers expect to
continue to exclude Negroes.
Considerable differences in en-
ployer responses among the vari-
u industries and in various
States were noted, it is stated. The
least exclusion was reported by
employers in the shipbuilding in
dustry. During the last World
War record for driving rivets was
broken by a singing Colored crew
in an American shipyard-at Nor
folk, Va
This is a depressing state Of af-
fairs after the struggles made dur
ing the past 8 months to focus
attention on the exclusion of Me-
groes from defense industries. The
right of this group to participate
fully in the defense program has
teen ~buttressed by an Executive
Order from the White House. Gov
eminent defense contracts which
forbid discrimination against Ne
groes have been issued. Enlight-
ened public opinion has expressed
itself. Still the practice continues.

SOUTHERN POLITICIAN
TELL OF FASCIST PLAN TO
DESTROY DEMOCRACY AND
RIGHTS OF NEGRO PEOPLE;
WOULD BEGIN IN ALABAMA

BesSemer, Ala.-The preamble
to a treason-born blueprint for
fascism designed to guide the
friends of Hitler in this country
in their efforts to destroy unity
of the American people behind
the Roosevelt Administrations
war effort, and with it, the Negro
peoples win-to-war demands for
full justice and freedom. was read
here July % by Horace Wilkin-
son, one-time political machine
boss of Birmingham.
Wilkinson, acting as a front man
for powerful reactionary indus
trial and farming interests, gave
the background for this blueprint
in a speech before the local XII
wants Club, whose members COM
prise some of the leading employ
ers now working on war contracts
here and in other key production
centers of the South.
The speech called upon those
industrialists, together with poll
takers and other Ku Klux Khan
elements to back a pro-Hitler pro-
gram whose main points include:
Indictment to violence against
Negro people in civilian life, in
the armed forces, in war indus
tries, in the ranks of organized
labor, separation of the southern
people from the national admins
tration through the false slogan
of maintaining white supremacy"
and by implication, setting up a
pro-fascist party against both the
Republican party and New Deal
Democrats.
The speech made it clear that
such a program could effectively
sabotage the work of the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practices (FEPC), and thus
nullify Executive Order 1902,
which abolishes discrimination in
all war industries and in govern
ment agencies.
Wilkinson left no doubt in the
minds of his listeners as to his
position on the REASONABLE action
of melting racial violence. Open
ing with a statement about an al
legged conversation between him
self and a bus driver in Birming-
ham, he said: 1--WE were standing
on the corner discussing the World
War. A street a stopped and
a number of Negroes crowded
around the entrance, attempting
to get admission. This man point
ed to the group of Negroes and
said to me, Right there, Mister,
is where the next war will break
out and it might start before
this one is over"
Attempting to give proper cam
outage to the point he was max
ing, Wilkinson continued: II re-
garded this as an reinstatement
of the situation, but I was inn
pressed with the mans sincerity
when he detailed numerous recent
Incidents of insolent, impudent
conduct on the part of Negro pas
sengers that necessitated calling
the law as he expressed it.
Wilkinson then proceeded to
cite a number of instances" of
his own, including the legal lynch

PEARL BUCK SPEAKS AGAIN

Pearl Buck has supplemented
her letter to the New York Times
with an even more admonitorv
note IN her address a few evenings
ago at a Book and Author Lunch
con in New York City.
AS she pointed out: THE Col
ored American even in defense
of his country, is not allowed his
share of work -. Thanks to an ed
ucation in democracy, he now
really wants to see his country a
democracy. When he defends the
United States of America he does
not want to do so segregated and
limited. This c~ontradicts his idea
OF a democracy. He has grown up
a good deal since the last World
War. He is willing to fight and
die again, but not for something
he does not himself possess.
Democracy, if it is to pre-
vail at this solemn moment in hui
man history, a do so only if il
purge itself of that which denies
democracy, and dares to act as it
believes"
Dire Possibilities Ahead
1t is now apparent what is
ahead of us in this new kind of
war, which is different" as the
President has said, from all other
wars of the past.
The months ahead are pregnant
with dire possibilities. They call
for a national unity that shall
purge our war intolerance and
ibigotry, and that shall not be linn
tied by any of the traditional
hates and prejudices of the past.
The denial of fundamental rights
and privileges; the denial of nearly
every concept Of true democracy
and the rights of freedom tc
peoples of constant loyalty ano
devotion to our country and its
institutions, is, in truth and ir
fact, a crime against every profess
sion of our sincerity that we are
at war to spread simon-pure de-
mocracy throughout the world.

ing coed business-with the num-
Der of enrollees rapidly increasing
as more and more men in Colorado
and nearby States are becoming
cognizant of the excellent oppor-

u. S. Maritime enrollees are
proud of the chance to serve their
country by beginning career which
will not end suddenly when the war
is over-but rather will go on to
greater heights as the demand in
creases for maritime men to man
the ships that will transport essen
tials necessary for rehabilitating the
world at large.
While the regular u. S. Navy
