opportunity to point out the flaws.
For years its workers education
program has done this on the 10
cal level to the end that more ard
more Negroes have identified them
selvs closely with the labor move
ment. This then represents the
first real approach to the problem
from the top.
Time was when the Urban league
had to withstand the open c14,ge
that invariably it betrayed the best
interests of Negroes BY discourag-
ing attempts at organization sl.d
miIitance. If its acceptance Jf the
challenge now does not make cicar
the new thinking in
its role today. certainly the spoken
word of William Green that the
league has Disseminated in favor
Of the Go should give substant-
iation to the new thinkign in lea
que circles.

THE NEGRO MUST

While stressing the evil Of the anti

ment.
In the past. the primary efforts
to break down the prejudiced atti-
tude Of number of affiliates Of
the federation have come from
Randolph and his vice president,
Milton Webster. They have been
within the organization as was
proper. But this has achieved
nothing more than the heaping Of
insult upon these two men.
Not without soundness also have
been the attacks upon Randolph
as the national director Of the
March on Washington movement
The detectives Of the NOW have
been thrown up repeatedly to make
him appear dangerous" or ''irre-
sponsibIe". Irrespective of the
merit Of the argument. it has not
helped the attainment of the basic
labor objective.
When Granger and his director
of industrial relations, Julius A
Thomas, sit down with Green and
his aides, it should be in an atmos-
phere devoid Of discrimination.
The Urban league viii, naturally,
point out that it is not a labor or
ganization MOI is it trying to speak
for labor. The league will want
to make crystal clear that its chief
interest is that Negro people who
work do so under the most favor
able conditions and for a wage
compatible with others doing the
similar work.
Recognition of the fact that lhe
I league has a function to perform
that compliments the labor move
ment was plainly evidenced at the
recent annual conference in Chi
cage where James B. Carey, secre-
tary-treasurer Of the Go, accept
ed the key spot on the mass meet

what it calls its inability to control

-BY ERNEST e. Johnson -
WASHINGTON. Dec. IA amp
The forthcoming conference mere
between officials Of the National
Urban League and the American
Federation Of Labor bears watch
ing, in the opinion Of many obser-
vers.
The announcement was released
last week by league officials in
New York following an exchange
OF correspondence between zee
tive secretary Lester B. Granger Of
the social work organization, and
William Green, president of the Ia
Dor organization.
While no specific detectives were
set forth in the announcement, it
is not likely that the two groups
would sit down at a table for the
sole purpose of correcting state
ments and positions attributed by
n to the other. It is reasonable
to assume, therefore. that an a.
genda will be drawn up that should
provide for a free and open dis
cussion Of how best Negroes may
be organized into the labor move
ment.
1t was during debate at the an
nual ALL convention on the reso-
luton of A. Philip Randolph, Bro
therhoOd of Sleeping Car Porters,
seeking to establish a committee
on discrimination in the federation
that President Green declared that
prominent Negro organizations had
repeatedly thwarted the efforts Of
the AFL in its organizing attempts
among Negroes.
AT International Harvester Com
pany in Chicago" he declared to
the convention, I'VE sought to or
game these Negro) employees.
and found that the representative
Of the Urban league and the rep
r-esentatives of the so-called Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, and other
representatives Of Negro organic
atoms in America, appeared in
Chicago and opposed the AFL rep
-esentatives in their effort to or
Eanize the Negroes into the AFL.
AS a result" he added, these Ne
voted to stay out Of the AFL"
Green said that not only were
they prevented from organizing
Negroes. but that these groups en-
couraged Negroes to sign up with
the Congress Of industrial Organ
izations.
1t was the exceptions taken to
the Green statement by the Ursan
league that has brought about the
conferences.
Fe dpeople doubt that the ClO
has shown more zeal in its organic
ing drives among Negroes than has
the AFL. The recent Go conven-
zion reported some 500 900 Negroes
on the books. In addition, It has
two Negro members on the execu-
tive council, a national committee
TO abolish discrimination within its
WI ranks, and a membership thai
is. on the whole, serious in its in
tent to accord equal treatment to
Negro feIlow-workers.
On the other hand, no satisfact-
ory figure IS available as to the
Negro membership in the AFL. The
Sleeping Car Porters is the only
international authorized, there is
no anti discrimination committee.
and little concern on the part Of
the top-ranking officials TO do any
thing about wiping out the various
constitutional and ritualistic bars
TO Negro membership. In short,
there Is much room for improve

Court Nov. 10 and u by NAACP
attorneys Thurgood Marshall and

nouncement by the court last week.
The re-argument has been set
because Gerald CHA nm. attorney

and been granted permission to file
a brief amicus curiae. and to pres
ent an oral argument. At the
first argument the state was not
represented, nor did the attorneys
for the defendant appear. The lat

Biddle Protests Failure
of Federal Bar Assoc.
TO Accept Negro
M e m b e
MAY QUIT

Washington, Dec. IA amp Atty
Gen. Francis Biddle intends to
quit the Federal Bar association
because the group has neglected 10
accept a Negro to membership, an
nounced his associates. If Blddle
gets out Of the association some
other high-rankIng OFFICIALS will
also leave.
The FBA composed of some 800
government lawyers, failed to ac-
cept Atty. Lewis r. Mehlinger of
the claims division of the justice
department, in which he has serv-
ed for p years.
Biddle Landed the FBA in an ad-
dress in Boston last month for adj
hitting a Negro to membership,

regret that the federal association

b BARS NEGROES

Racia discrimination as practiced
by organized labor is a national
menace, DR.. Hancock pointed out.
UNLESS the Negro can become part
of that labor he cannot live" he
said.
Whereas, the south is the ma
tons economic problem No. l, the
Negro is the south's economic pro-
blem No. l." asserted DR.. Hancock.
You can't hold the Negro down
without holding the south Town.
You can't hold the south down
without holding the nation down.
While declaring that the AFL is
guilt oyf adopting a policy Of ex-
elusiveness" toward Negro labor,
Hancock said that the Go mad
only slightly corrected this defect
That the Negro is not seeking
additional opportunities for inter
marriage privileges was brought
out by DR.. Hancock. The idea
that increased opportunities for
Negroes might bring intermarriage
between the races was entirely Il
founded, he declared.
The Negro is not seeking inter-
marriage, he is only seeking a
share of the American II k.
which he has helped to raise" tie
professor asserted.
Deploring the urbanization Of
the Negro race. DR.. Hancock
charged that the Negro was ex-
cluded from the benefits of econo-
my by the increasing industrial;z-
alton of the south and the mechan-
ization Of agriculture, which re-
quires technical training.
NOTE RACE ENEMIES
Enemies Of the Negro were
brought under fire when the Rev
John s. Cronin, S. s.. professor Of
economics at the st. Mary's sem
mary in Baltimore, told the on,
ference that the Negro today has
two great enemies" those in
his own race and outside who would
change the habits Of a country and
those who feel that continued IN
justice is its own justification. He
has one group of friends-.-those
idealist who are realist enough to
know that change must be grad
ual and that the evil Of several
generations will not be blotted out
in a day. Rev. Cronin remarked
Public support of the FEPC was
urged by P. B. Young. editor Of

Negro worker is also part Of the

New York. Apr. Tins The
World Series Of 1913 probably will
be a tough unremitting battle be-
tween the St Louis Cardinals and
any one OF a halfdozen clubs in
the American League.
The New York YANKEES persist
in being the great inviIcibles in
the minds of American League
fans, whereas actually their hey.
day is over. The Yankees will be
lucky to win the American League
pennant
But the club that comes out OF
the American League mix-up will
be a pretty tough aggregation.
Just as the Cards we're tempered
by the flame of battle in
the maniacal 1912 campaign, so
will some American League team
emerge from the 194S campaign as
hard. heady and full Of heart
as any club could be. What
will happen when the power
full Cards and the campaign-tough-
ened American League pennant
winner meet in the series will
make baseball history of the more
colorful sort.
