Wage and Labor Policies
While direct informaLio.

Press is difficult to secure
it's lack Of business stability
and adequate advertising
and job-shcp revenues tend
to suggest that mimi ]
/ rather than maxinslm level
probably prevail. Indicat-
iiVa 6f the growing profess
sionalization of Negro jour
nalists is the fact that staff
men, .soers of the Amster-
dam News joined the New
York Newspaper Guild IN
1886. When publishers OF
that paper refused to cede
to dem ands Of the local
Guild, the m embers went
out on a strike and were
fully supported by the
white Guild. After eleven
weeks, the owners went
bankrupt, and the new pub
fishers signed an agree
ment with the local Guild.
staff mem bers of the new
Negro weekly, the Peoples
Voice, also belong to the
Newspaper Guild. an affll-
late of the CIO. Most staff
workers in the Negro press,
however, are not mem bers
Of any trade union, partly
because the average Negro
I newspaper is still run as
a small individual business
enterprise where the per-
sonal relationship plays an
i'm portant part and partly
because the Negro capital
ist is not different from any
ether capitalist whose main
object is to amass fortune
under the euphemistic
phrase of enlightened self
interest As a result, the
Negro capitalist has froWn-
ed upon unionism in his
own plant while advocating
it elsewhere. The social
