Oakland, Calf. and W. P. Web
ster, Chicago, H., vice president
of the international B.S.C.P., IS
also a member of President
Roosevelt's Fair Employment
Practice Committee. A mass
meeting of the local B.S.c.P. held
Sunday at 800 p. m. at Mt.
Olivet Baptist church, afforded
the community an opportunity to
hear these amazing men give
pointers on a solution to elimi-
nate discriminatory tactics and
practices in labor and industry
Mr.. Dellum compared the A. F.
of L., of which the B.S.C.P. is a
member, with the Christian asso-
ciations-the Y.M.C.A. and WV.
CA. with their segregated
branches; he asked which is the
worse? Labor organizations, said
he, "are typical American-they
have always pushed Negroes
around - they will continue to
push them around until the Ne
gro decides not to be pushed
around-it's up to the fifteen mil
lions Of Negroes to stop it; to
many are afraid-afraid of the
boss" stop being afraid-take
a stand for your rights - the
white element is afraid, too
afraid the Negro is going to stop
being afraid
Mr.. Webster said this was his
third trip to Portland; first i'll
1906 and second In 1882. AT
ter these years l can't see any
change In the philosophy of the
ruling class" On his pet usb-
ject, Negroes and Organized La
bor," Mr.. Webster, among many
other things, had this to say:
Labor is the Negroes business
the most important thing he has
to sell-he should get control of
his labor-sell 1t for what it's
worth. The Negro has been try
ing to sell labor Individually
he hasn't succeeded-the surest |
way Is to organize it from the |
ground up"

THANKSGIVING

The harvest was in. The corn
planted on fresh graves. to hide
losses from the Indians, had
yielded and stood rustling in the
November wind
Governor Bradford assembled
the Pilgrims. For ten months
they had lived in this new land.
The grit of its soil was in their
teeth, the fever of its swamps
in their blood, the bruise of its
stones on their feet They were
no longer strangers here; their
kinfolk lay beneath those hills of
ripened corn.
They lived, those thankful few
and they built. A handful of
colonies became a nation. Again
we gather to pray for strength,
for courage, for guidance. And
again we give thanks for a fruit
full land, for a strong people, for
good way of life.
For these simple things that
must endure forever in any life
worth living, we give thanks. The
harvest is in. Humbly, reverent-
ly, we give thanks.
From Liberty.
