saying to another these days.
Brown Has Wrong Idea
AFL Secretary-Treasurer George
Meany, among the most outspoken
critics Of Brown, said recently, "We
understand that Prentiss B 70 W n
wants to make OPA popular Un-
fortunately, he has the entirely er-
roneous notion that this means

Meany plans to seek an audience
with the President through the war
labor committee, which customarily
meets with him, to tell him how
OPA's failure to hold the line is
destroying morale.

League Head
Says ln+erracioI
Relations Improve

NEW YORK (FP)-"Interracial
cooperation has been evidenced
during the past year on a scale
never before attained in this coun-
try" the National Urban League
says in a survey of its achieve
ments in 1912.
MANY Negro Americans, during
the past two years, have suffered
a disillusioning experience" the re-
port finds, "and this has produced
frequent criticism or even indif-
ference regarding the real aims
and detectives of this war The
influence of the leagues leadership
has been placed against cynicism
and defeatism within the ranks of
Negroes, as we'll as against that
blind racial prejudice that puts bar
riers in the way of Negroes as they
come to their country's defense" I"
Notable in the leagues work in
1912 was its success in bucking
employment discrimination in the
deep south and other parts of the
country. Thousands of Negroes
were placed in war plants and in
training classes through the or
ganization's efforts, it said.

Senator Ross
Changes His Mind

COLUMBUS, o. (FP) - State
Senator William Ross, Montgom-
cry County Republican, has the
reddest face in the whole state of
Ohio. A few weeks ago, Ross in
troduced bill which would lift
the limit on working hours for
women from eight hours a day and
4S week to 10 hours a day and
so q week.
Then the we'll organized labor
movement of Montgomery County
turned the heat on Ross. Citing the
testimony of experts that womens
productive efficiency declined after
48 hours and that there was no
need of longer hours for them in
Ohio, labor unions changed Ross
mind for him.
He made an appeal in the senate
for defeat of his own bill when it
reached the floor, but his fellow
Republicans only laughed at him
and passed the bill.

TO OverruIe
Pren+iss Brown

WASHINGTON (FP)-The CIO
cost-of- living committee April 27
called on Economic Stabilizer
James +. Byrnes to overrule Price
Administrator Prentiss Browns
decision to abandon grade labelling.
Byrnes was urged to carry out
the law of the land" Browns de-
cisfon, announced to Gamers
delegation April 26 and reported
in FP of that date, "opens another
breach in the Presidents hold-the-
line ORDER" according to the cost
of-living committee.
Deterioration and misbranding
of grade and quality represent the
most fragrant form of indirect
price increase, Byrnes was told. To
allow Browns decision to do away
with the already announced grade
labelling program, the committee
said, would be to "legalize fraud
and profiteering.'
Secretary Treasurer + eano 2
Fowler of the Congress of Wom-
ems Auxiliaries, CIO, wired Byrnes
asking that he use his authority to
postpone the public announcement
of Browns decision and take the
matter under consideration. OPA

City Official Gives View
Councilman Michael Disable, who
is a member Of the Council trans
portation committee, contacted by
the Toledo Union Journal, admit
ted there have been many COM
plants about traction service and
personnel, including discourteous
drivers, motormen and bus drivers
counting their change and filling
their coin changers while their We
hicles are in motion, operators
talking to riders, running past stops
despite riders signals, passing up
riders to make up time even where
there have been few riders in the
cars, crashing red lights and many
other failures.
Mr.. Disable said, "We know
about these things, but, of course,
it's a matter of the Traction Co.
not being able to get competent
people to handle its equipment"
Complaints about Traction Co.
service, discourtesy and lack of CO.
operation have been widespread in
Toledo, particularly among work
ers in the war industries, for many
months. Since this latest tragedy,
public Indignation has reached a
new high and people in homes, Of
fices and factories are talking
about the Community Traction Co.
in uncomplimentary terms.
General concensus of opinion
among workers is that the drivers
for the company act like they are
doing workers a favor by letting
them ride on the trolleys and buses
since the transportation system has
become successful as result of

California Mayor
Inci+es Race Riot +hI

SAN FRANCISCO (FP)-M
or John Stewart of Vallejo aired
lynch-inciting opinions before
meeting of Senator Sheridan Dow
ney's military affairs subcommit-
tee here recently, repeating his
complaint that mixing whites and
Negroes in federal housing prof.
ects would lead to race riots.
Stewart, who defended Vallejo
landlords in their recent strike
against rent ceilings, told meet
ing of the house naval affairs
subcommittee:
''We have had two lynchings in
California in recent years-in San
ia Rosa and San Jose. These have
been lynching of whites by whites.
What do you think will happen if
southern whites are provoked by
Negroes living in the same gov
ernment projects with them?"
The mayors remarks were chal-
lenged by Vallejo residents who
testified that serious problems in
the overcrowded war community
are due to inadequate housing,
transportation facilities and public
health services. There have been
no race riots, they stressed, al
though one incident was widely
publicized as such.

First Law of Kind
Adopted Under Dewey

ALBANY, N. Y. (FP)-All OPA
price ceilings and regulations were
made the law of this state April
% in resolution adopted by the
State War Council. The action was
the first of its kind anywhere in
the United States.
Sponsored by Republican Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, the measure,
which takes effect Immediately, is
designed to strengthen OPA regu-
lations by giving local authorities
power to enforce them in the
courts. All violations will be pen
allied by a $25 fine or five days
in Jail.
Dewey urged passage of similar
laws in other states, pointing out
that otherwise food supplies might
be diverted from New York to
those states where OPA regula-
tions are not stringently enforced.
continuance of this rule by the
War Council will be dependent up
on such enforcement in other
states" Dewey commented. "Es-
sential food supplies must be main
tined"
The resolution was passed only
after a paragraph was inserted
stating that the law did not consti-
tute unqualified approval of all
OPA policies.

In calling a 15-day truce just

the UNIV had agreed by unani-
nous vote to restore all mines to

to May l, in the anthracite indus

Lewis said, at is our desire to

situation. We are hopeful that this
act will be accepted by our gov

Mines have now returned to full

the Bricker- Mccullough feud, and
the ones doing the most talking are
members of the state legislature.
Many are saying that the governor
is going to bat for piece of class
legislation which his tax repeal bill
is, and that Speaker Mccullough
can defeat this bill if it does come
before the House of Representa-
tives.
Many representatives have eX-
pressed themselves as being OPP
posed to the bill on the grounds
that the governor is using class
Legislation to create a favorable
talking point for himself on how
he reduced taxes in Ohio while
still maintaining a large surplus
in the state treasury. They are
saying that the governor is trying
to sacrifice his own state on the
altar Of his political ambitions.
Fight Goes On
So the battle continues in Co.
lumbus with very good chances Of
the governor receiving setback
at the hands of legislature which
is predominantly Republican.
Republicans in the legislature
would like to see the governor take
definite stand. Many of them
want to see Governor Bricker come
out boldly as a candidate for the
presidency instead of trying to play
it safe, and so give other Re-
publicans an opportunity to 60
higher up the political ladder.
It's getting to be great fight,
and from this point of vantage, ii
looks like bigger and better po-
litical news will be coming out of
Columbus unless the governor gets
rid Of the state legislature at the
earliest possible moment If the
political situation gets too hot for
the governors comfort, and it is
rapidly approaching that stage at
the present time, no one will be
surprised to see the present session
come to an abrupt ending.

Operators Voice Protest
Juke box operators numbering
80 were present at the Council
meeting to voice their protest

passed. Voting for the tax were
