FRANK GREEN AS
A SHOP STEWARD

Frank Green as shop steward
of the Sealers was in a position
to help our boys to advance and
through his personal collabora-
ton with the different union
leaders was able to enter diff
ferent crafts, as many Negro
members will testify.
He was also in position to de-
tect friction among white and
Negro members.
He was highly commended by
both the plant and union officials
for his diplomacy. There was
an incident regarding a leadman
fresh from the South who said
he knew how to handle Il. "
The leadman overworked the one
Negro in his gang. The Negro
reported this to his shop steward,
Frank Green. who Immediately
had the leadman fired by the
laws of the Roosevelt Non-Dis-
elimination RULING
Frank Green's ability as a
mediator in racial disputes made
him so popular and indispensable
to both the union and the plant
that they soon voted him to be
the first Negro leadman and shop
steward in the Seattle-Tacoma
Shipyard.

and at the end Mr.. A. L. Hayes

Mrs. Hayes. 1t is noteworthy
that the Ruston boys bought

a special invitation was given
Mr. Hayes to bring the Chest mo-

reason. Mr.. Dean Hart made the
party welcome and showed his

The boys at the plant, though.
as many say, they are from the

as high as 16 hours per day to
keep them flying and fighting.

now daily to arrive. They are

ROOSEVELT SPANKS
WHITE SUPREMACY
in OLD MISSISSIPPI

JACKSON, Miss. - Defeat of
Mike Connor in the recent Mis-
sisippi gubernatorial primaries
has thrown confusion in the
ranks of the Roosevelt-baiting
demagogues here.
Tom Bailey, the successful can
didate, is generally regarded as
the choice of the forgotten man
while Conner is looked upon as
the fair haired boy of vested in
terests and special privilege. Con
nor's platform consisted of two
planks-"that man" in Washing
ton and white supremacy.

Letter to the Editor

Oct. 8, 1913.
Mr.. e. l. Robinson,
Editor, Northwest Enterprise,
Elks Home, 662h Jackson st.
Seattle, Washington.
Dear Mr.. Robinson:
am enclosing a clipping which
think should concern every
American Negro.
| think it offers a good op-
portunity to start a letter writing
campaign. If letters from all
parts of the country poured in to
persons of authority" in pro-
test against such cases, l think
the Negro would find that he
could get many favorable re
sponses from their use.
AS the logical means of reach
ing the masses is the newspa-
pers, I thought you could impress
upon your readers the importance
of writing protest letters when
various cases are brought to their
attention. Perhaps it could also
be the job of newspaper editors
to find out where and to whom
these letters should be written,
and then give this information
to their readers.
hope I'm stating my idea
clearly. 1t has long been my
belief that Negroes could do
much to help themselves In little
ways such as thesuggestion made.
If each individual Negro would
concentrate on every detail, they
could contribute toward freedom
for the Negro. Just as they are
making an about effort for win
ming the war-even to saving a
pound of waste fat, if they would
make an about effort for Win
ming victory for themselves al
home, their goal would be
reached much more quickly.
Sincerely yours,
JUANITA L. JOHNSON.
I must remind you to write
your letter asking a careful re-
view of the case of the white
soldier, Alton Levy, who was
court martialed when he pro-
tested jim crow practices at the
army air base where he was sta
toned. He is now in the guard
house for four months and has
been reduced in rank from staff
sergeant to private.
Write to Adjutant General,
Col. Clyde l.. HyssOng, Army
War College, Washington, ID.
{. Although he belongs to
three minorities, being a jew,
a Soc1el1St, and q man VINO Is
willing to suffer to remove Jim
crow, this man dares to hold
TO his belief in the thing
which we advertise as our
American way of life.
If we failhim, we pay tribut
to the purveyors of the racia
doctrines which we loudly dis
claim. You who have written o

all so awful, but what can | do?

vestigations while our President
signed futile neutrality acts.
Perhaps, If the people had
been given the facts which it is
now apparent the administration
possessed, they would have, as
usual, been wiser than their lead
ers. Perhaps many of the bill
lions wasted by the administra-
ton between 1882 and 1910
might have given necessary en-
ployment and at the same time
built a great armed force which
would have stopped those ma
RAIDERS in their tracks
Unpreparedness Deplored
Turning to the future policies
of government, Willkie said that
"As it stands, we were UMPIRE
pared mentally and physically for
Pearl Harbor and now we are be-
ing left similarly unprepared for
what will come after the war.
And this is on the principal power
always assumes: That it knows
best what is good for the people
and that when it needs the votes
of the people 1t is justified in
using pressures and propaganda to
lead them to its ways of thinking.
1.-THE administration plays the
agencies of public information
like an accordion - it saturates
our newsreels. our radio pro-
grams, 1t manipulates the release
of the news to suit its purposes
and censors opinion in hundreds
of subtle and little-knowu ways -
But Willkie cautioned the Re
publican party that 1t will not
deserve leadership and cannot
win If 1t merely attempts to
coalesce under its banners the
various negative groups within
the country" He said that in
formulating its policies the Re
publican party could not afford
"to yield to the special pleas OF
self-interested economic pressure
groups"
National Unity Demanded
"It must find its strength" he
said, mot as does the present adj
ministration, in dividing and rul-
ing, but in a national policy thai
unifies the peoples. 1t must seek
to make America, after this wal
is over, a land of ever-expandine
opportunity-opportunity not just
for a few top men to make their
fortunes with the help of all
other men, but opportunity fol
every man to work, to develop
his ability, and to receive the
rewards of his effort, economic
social or political.
5 Point Program
