Throughout the land I see his face,

He greets me in the market place.

Forever there, on guard to see
That civil rights are not for me.

Negroes do not willingly work for
Negroes. The psychology back of
this is, of course, the reluctance
which any group of oppressed folk
have to falling further in the social
scale-of becoming servants of SER
wants. However true this may be
in some situations (and it some
times is) I have never but once
among all the thousands or more
porters 1 have met, encountered
anything but courtesy, willingness
and understanding. Of course, I
always consciously help. I know
how difficult the porter's position
is; 1 realize that his bell is not
there just to be pushed at all and
sundry times; I have heard the silly
demands and idiotic questions asked
him. I remember the fussy old
woman who always had something
to do or ask whenever the porter
appeared:
20 Porter, Porter! Is that the
Missouri River?"
The porter was polite and imper-
turbable:
"It is a portion of it, Madame"
What astonishes me, more and
more, especially during these days
of crowded, difficult and hectic
travel, is the combination of physi-
cal strength, skill, adaptability and
intelligence required of a porter.
The shifting twice daily of twenty
four mattresses, the opening and
closing of twelve heavy doors, the
careful manipulation of two dozen
sheets and pillow cases, the lifting
and Juggling of endless luggage
all this calls for sheer muscle
power. To do this delicately, accu-
rately and tactfully, without dis
turbing the comfort Of thirty or
forty tired and irascible pas
sengers, some Of whom regard the
porter as dirt, is a mans job. With
all this, to answer questions intelli-

tanned racial policy that was and
is reproach to American industry.
Because of its past history, it is
difficult to believe that officials of
the Packard Company are blame
less in this latest and least inexcus-
able sabotage of the war effort. If
the management did not stimulate
the walk-Out, it certainly is guilty
of criminal negligence in not taking
steps to prevent it before it &C.
CURED, by summary action against
the leaders whose activities must
have been known.
These walk-outs are valuable in
that they disclose the present and
what is more important, the post
war program of certain organized
groups in America. That they are
organized there can be no doubt
and one of their avowed missions
is to destroy the economic gains
which the Negro has been making
as a result of the war. These
dramatic demonstrations of planned
racial repression and persecution
should be the guide of the Negroes
strategy for the postwar years.
They reveal the nature of the
struggle that impends when mil
lions of jobless soldiers return
from the battlefields of Europe and
Asia and Africa. There should be
no doubt now in the minds of the
Negro as to any plan of action. The
time for silly maneuvering for
priority in leadership is over. The
time to grid for the greatest strug-
gle in his history is at hand. 1t will
be in truth struggle for his sur

public as it will a struggle for the
survival of Democracy itself.
Just because the strikers belong

ers to shun the ranks of organized
labor. If the events at Mobile and
Detroit have one lesson, it is that
Negroes everywhere, in every Occu-
patton, on every level should join
the ranks of organized labor, and
if there is no union in the Occupa-
ton in which they are engaged they
should start one. 1t is obvious that
any other course will be fatal.

skills, has all the earmarks of being
engineered either by Axis agents
or by unregenerate transplanted
southerners, who see in the break
down of the pattern of racial segre-
cation in industry the doom of that
system by which the measure of
man is the color of his skin, and
who therefore are panicky lest the
unfair advantage they have pos
sessed for 300 years be on it's way
out. Of course it could be a COM
bination of both. But whatever it
is, it could not have happened if
the management of the shipyard in
Mobile and the Packard plant in
Detroit had at the outset taken a
firm and fortnight stand.
In all instances of mass walkOuts
such as these, the agitation is mi
tiated and sustained by a very
small and insignificant group of
men, in most cases not more than
fifteen or twenty. The number of
the rank and file who would risk
their jobs because a Negro is up
graded will be found to be infini-
tesimal. They are persuaded, ca
jOled, threatened by a few vicious
leaders strategically situated in
various departments. More often
than not, the propaganda is spread
by petty bosses, fOremen, or super
intendents who hope to gain the
confidence of the workers under
their control by making a show of
looking out for their interests. Long
before the walk-Out occurs, the
management itself is aware of the
undercurrent of agitation and is
able to identify the ringleaders.
And where this agitation is con-
tinued without censure, it is as
sumed by the great mass of work.

Challenge to Golfers

If you step upon crowded tee and dub,
Without expressing profane wish to break the club:
If you can see your rival choppng like clown,
You follow through but still go two strokes down;
If you watch your short putt rim the cup,
AS your opponent sinks his long for one-up;
If trapped in sand, three find you deeper in,
And another drops birdie and you still grin;
If you can see your wel-hit drive roll into rough,
If you bear up faulty stance and poor address
Luck through, playing with beauty and fnesse
If you smack honey off par five tee,
And hear with grace the pellet hit lonesome tree;
If you can hit new balls into water hole,
And say words that jeopardize your sou
If you keep from laughing when a sure-re putter
Freezes up and halves hole, missing his onefooter;
If you can keep on learning good golf from pro,
While he who never had lesson wins much more dough;
If you winner hook, slice sway stoop, bend,
And tell him-"You deserved to win, my friend!"
you can kid yourself you're after exercise and fun
With no desire for brides, eagles, holes-n-one
If you come home when the score is bad,
Without post mortems to what you should have had
If you rise at Five A. M. to go to links
Day after day. and miss those precious forty wnks
If you achieve all this and by miracle enjoy it,
You're more than golfer-youre robot fob. Detroit

If you can tell your wife she than golf
You're amazing, fellow, and my Sunday hat is off;
And if she believes you without repeatin' it,

If your wife's too well pleased it is sixty-toforty,
While you gofng, she is hostess to Shorty!

Editor: H. R. 7, bill to abolish
the poll tax as prerequisite for
voting in federal elections, passed
the House of Representatives on
May 25th by a vote of 265 to no.
AS Chairman of the Steering
Committee of the House coalition
behind this bill, was particularly
gratifed that the House acted so
quickly on this measure and that
the Republicans stood almost to
man for the passage of the meas
ure.
However, at the same time, I
want to call to your attention that
Senator Bilbo has already prom
Used filibuster in the Senate. 1t is
necessary to pledge every Senator
to vote for cloture if the filibuster
is to be defeated.
A terrific fight confronts US in
the Senate. Only the complete
mobilization of the Negro people in
every community and in every or
ganization will guarantee the pas
sage of the bill in the Senate.
For this reason, I trust that your
paper will conduct an untiring cam
paign to inform it's readers of the
urgent necessity to pass H. R. 7 and
the effect which its passage will
have in bringing democracy to the
Negro people in the southern
states. Although the white primary
and unconstitutional registration
laws must be abolished to guaran-
tee full democracy, the abolition of
the poll tax is a major step for
ward.
am sure that the National Com
mittee to Abolish the Poll Tax has
already contacted you. If not would
you please let me know in order
that their material can be sent to
you.
With every good wish, am
Sincerely yours,
