cial groups was made yesterday by

fore the second annual conference
OF the Federation of Parent
Teacher Associations for Colored
Public Schools at the Mary Martha
Washington Vocational School.
The dream of an American po-
litical and cultural democracy built
out Of the contributions of all the
people can be lost If the hate, fear
and distrust involved in race can
not be overcome, DR.. Dubois said.
Author of the recently published
Get Together Americans" a book
dealing with interracial and inter-
cultural problems, DR.. Du Bois is
director of the Intercultural Edu-
cation Workshop.
George Streeter, a member of
the Labor Relations Division of the

pared to accept technical jobs in
the postwar period.

Gators attended this years con-
ference. Mrs. Alice C. Hunter is

A handful of residents of this war
busy community gathered today
near the spot where, 80 years ago,
Abraham Lincoln spoke the few
simple words known to history as the
Gettysburg Address.
Two of those attending. William
c. Storrick. 81, and Edward Trostle,
81, were in the crowd that heard
Lincoln speak.
His words were repeated today by
P. j. Kammerer of Neville, Pa, a
Lincoln impersonator.
The speaker of the day, DR.. Har-
vey D. Hoover of the Lutheran
Theological Seminary at Gettysburg
praised the Civil War President for
lifelong devotion to the things that
do not perish"
That devotion, he said, must be
put into our living and thinking to-
day if our Nation is to endure"
The program was to have been
held yesterday, the actual anniver-
sary, but not enough people would
promise to take time off from their
war jobs to make a crowd.

Illinois Plant Admits
Racial Discrimination
In lis Hiring Policy
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
EAST ALTON, ILL.,, Nov. 2O.-The
Western Cartridge Co. asserted to-
day Negroes were not employed at
its East Alton plant because of the
hostile attitude of residents in the
area, and the firm said it welcomed
an investigation of it's hiring prac-
ticeS.
Dean William H. Spencer, re-
gional director of the War Man.
power Commission at Chicago, re-
quested an investigation. In a letter
to Elmer Henderson. regional direc-
tor of the Presidents Committee on
Fair Employment Practices, Mr..
Spencer declared Western Cartridge
Co. never had hired Negro in the
Illinois plant.
The company in statement
pointed out it did not discriminate
against Negroes at any Of it's other
plants situated in cities with a Ne
gro population, such as at st. Louis
or New Haven, Conn.
However, the statement declared,
there is no Negro population in East
Alton or other towns in the imme-
diate industrial area and local resi-
dents have maintained a hostile at
titude toward hiring of Negroes at
Western Cartridge or other local in
dustrial plants"
The negroes know this" the COM
pany asserted, ''and they refuse to
apply for jobs or come to us when
referred by the United States En-
ployment Service.
I'VE told the USES, VINO, the
War Department and other Federal
agencies that any attempt to hire
Negroes would certainly result in
at least partial shutdown of our
East Alton plant due to the refusal
Of many workers either to work
with them, or share the same trans
portation or eating facilities with
them"
The statement concluded that
rather than face a partial shut
down when full production Is so
vital to the war effort, it had made
no attempt to bring Negroes into
the plant

THE Congress has passed a
i resolution altering the con-
stitution of the Philippine Com
m6nwealth. II has, in fact, re-
asserted its legal power TO alter
the status of the Philippines, and
the fundamental law of the
archipelago.
When in 1884 Congress
passed the Tydings-McDuffie
act. Congress appeared def
nitely TO relinquish its legislative
power, TO the F'iliplnos them
selves. OF course. legally. it did
not do this. The Philippine
Islands remained a dependent
possession of the United States.
This country was still sovereign,
still responsible internationally
for all that might be done in the
islands. and still responsible for
the defense of the Philippines
against foreign enemies.
Although practically complete
autonomy was vested by the
Tydings- McDuffie act in the
government Of the Philippine
Commonwealth, egally the

the authority of Congress to
legislate in behalf OF the islands
would definitely end.

"A course of the history of our
expansion. the United States
Supreme Court has held that
while in legislating for the
Union, the powers of Congress
are strictly limited and defined.
in legislatng for the territories
of the Union. the powers of
Congress are unlimited and I'M
defined
In the case of the Unit ed
States rs. the Church of Latter
Day Saints, the Supreme Court
held that the Congress could
confer autonomous privileges
and political rights upon the in.
habitants of a territory, and
subsequently take them away
and govern these territories in
a less democratic manner.
Thus in the action taken, on
the Presidents recommendation
and on behalf of the personal
ambition of President Manuel
Quezon to remain in the office
beyond the legal time fixed by
the constitution of the Philip
pine Commonwealth, the Con-
gress has exercised a legisla-
tive power over the Philippines
which the Supreme Court has
repeatedly upheld.

~ CHE the action of Congress
in continuing Mr.. QueZon in

action was taken for personal
reasons and not reasons of pub
lie expediency, nevertheless, the
plain assertion of Congress that
it still has the legal power. and
by presumption the moral right,
TO determine by legislation the
form of Philippine government,
may be advantageous.
If the Philippines are to be
freed from their Japanese i'm
vaders. this must be accom-
slished by the military force of
the United States army and
navy and when this military
peration is completed. the
islands will require great deal
of legislative assistance in re-

l believe that this assistance
should be based upon Congress

presidential decree or unreal
diplomatic negotiations between
President Roosevelt and Presi-
dent Quezon.
