THE WHOLE progressive labor world along with
hundreds of thousands OF Negroes must have
been shocked last week when news came out OF De-

tion had gone out strike rather than work besd"

The Chicago Tribune, anti-CIO and anti Roosevelt

with questions as TO the meaning OF the reports:
Of what value Is unionism to Negroes if.unon mem

In answering these questions number OF points
come up for consideration. Most modestly rec

$50 white workers went on strike had an alright
case when they could show that they not only had
seniority but that they are also union members in

This latter fact foresalled the appealing and
very troublesome argument which is often heard IN
prejudce-ridden labor circles. The argument goes

Paging Pedestrians

A LOCAL TRAFFIC ordinance for the protection of pc

pedestrians who violate traffic rules in Detroit will be Civ

laws
Under the new regulations pedestrians required
by law stop at the curb and look both ways before
crossing any intersection They required observe
traffic ruts and observe traffic lights just the as mo-

The placing of responsibility and traffic restrictions
upon pedestrians well drivers of cars should 20

Before turning corner, motorists are also required tn
