"There is a war for
Freedom going on
BY ID. G. Collins

- - &CAAAAAS
Though this country Is involved
in a global war for the freedom
of all peoples. against two power
full enemies, who think they are
superior to all other people. for
what kind of democracy are we
fighting? It does not make sense
for Americans to spend billions
fighting for the Four Freedoms
abroad and against oppression.
while allowing 1t to run rampant
at home.
This is just plain talk. Look at
Oregon today - full of hate -
hating American born Negroes.
For what - and why? Oregon is
trying to cruelty all Negroes and
all dark people. There must be
something done about this dis
elimination in Oregon. We hope
all Negroes in Oregon will sup
port the N. A. A. c. p. and Its
fight against race discrimination
We here in the north must wage
an unending, un-compromising
fight for our rights as citizens. If
we fail to do this. then the Me-
groes in Oregon will finally per-
ish in this state. 1t was the North
that doomed slavery in the South.
The white southerner has laways
known this " that is the reason
they are trying so hard to spread
race segregation in the North.
But | say to all Negroes - we
must fight. We havet he right to
fight. This is no time to quit. We
hear much about the Negroes
and the whites giving and taking
. giving and taking what? The
Negroes in Oregon are doing all
the taking. Racial ill feeling is
on the increase in Oregon.
The Four Freedoms were
for Negroes as well as for
the whites. We must organize
ourselves and protest against dis
We must avoid trou-
BILE. We must avoid the appear
ance of trouble. The most impor-
tant of all is the spirit of the |
times sweeping the universe -
the spirit of freedom and equality |
Tor all men.

SLAVERY IS BACK
SAYS Mine PAPER
BY PHELPS ADAMS
North American Newspaper
Alliance

| huAaIACt
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-In a
lengthy philippe that augured i'll
! for future peace in the coal fields
the United Mine Workers journal
called upon its readers editorially
today to rise against the indus
trial, congressional and admins
tration leaders who have reduced
labor to a form of slaverp only
one step above that which pre-
vailed in the days of Uncle Tom
and Simon Legree.
Declaring that the "burrocrats"
Chat is tn way the U. M. w.
journals editor spells it, can
force a man to work on any job
they choose for nim, the journal
complains:
"They can keep him from get
ting the job he wants.
"They can determine his rights
as a union man.
"They tell him what kind of a
union he can join.
"They tell him what part of
the country he can work in.
Food Rationing Hit
"They can tell him what kind
80 food ba oan ont
"They can and do regulate
what he can spend his money for
and how far he can travel in his
car.
'If he strikes he can be arrest
ed and indicted for it.
Except for fact that the pol
iticians and burrocrats cannot sell
him on a slave market, the Amer
lean working man, on Labor Day,
1913, finds taht he is not much
freer than Uncle Tom on Simon
Legree's plantation"
In tones of bitterness unsur-
passed by anything that the c. |.
o. has ever manager to offer in
its weekly news bulletins, the U.
M. w. A. journal goes straight to
the point in the opening para
graph, observing:
"For the first time in the his
tory of the United States the
American working man, on Labor
Day, 1943. finds himself under Il
federal statute, subject to fine or
Jail or both, if he so much as sug-
gests to working buddy that he
join in a work stoppage, ire
gardless of the causes or justifi-
cation.
Administration Raped
"This is labors' reward, handed
out by the politicians, and being
applied by the administration, in
return for the rgeatest production
record in history.
After flashing out furiously at
the President, the Congress, At
torney-General Biddle, the War
Labor Board and other admins
trative agencies dealing with la
Dor problems, the editorial con-
cludes with three paragraphs set
in boldface type:
''If labor waits for its freedom
to be given back, it may wait in
vain. 1t has been said by many
who have studied history, that
freedom is something that has TO
be taken by men who want to be
free. No political Santa Claus
stocks it in his bag.
1.-THE liberty tree is not a
Christmas tree.
Think, and think hard this
Labor Day, 1913. It's your day.
Make the most of it,"
The editorial may. of course,
be buster and bluff; but it .indi-
Gates clearly John L. Lewis is in
no benign mood.

The Elks made a fine showinf
at the dedication ceremonies o.
the A. NJ. E. Zion Church.
Most conspicuous brother was
Esquire Sonny Lee. Esq. Sonny
Lee lifted the collection from the
Elks.
He counted the money in the
presence of a bishop, a pastor, q
leader of a fraternal organization,
and a vice president of the Nor
thern Life Insurance Co., while
the choir eyed them all.
When Esq. Sony Lee finished
the count some one was heard to
say $500. Esq. Sonny Lee loud
ly said $4,000. Sonny took no
chance. They got $4,000.

My buddy Paul Minisee is one
of the few Negroes called into
service last week. He was given
the choice of working at Boeings

he chose the latter. now am

you are too.

that one. German, Italian o. X.
American Negro men, women,
boys and girls or all other dark

American rights guaranteed in
the Constitution; and fought for
by their fore fathers. To hell with
the constitution and rights says
the union; but the dark skinned
ones are unpatriotic for not buy
ing the bonds the union men
tried to sell them. Unpatriotic for
not staying on at Boeings in a
humiliating status. There's con-
ISOLATION in knowing a man can't |
hold another down in the mud |
without getting dirty himself.
Chins up, Negro Americans, |
work somewhere you can be a

one paragraph from the diary of |
a Japanese doctor educated in the

that many Negro and Indian

anything to say or show about it.

Mussolini was the Xerxes of the
