GREAT LAKES TRAINING
STATION (ANP) The Great
Lakes Naval Traising station,
which has had about 4,500 Negro
sailors among the $4,000 under
going basic training, will increase
the ratio of Negro seamen to one
fourth of the stations capacity by
August 1, and have from 1880 to
$4,000 Negroes according to an
announcement by Captain r. r.
Emmett, commanding officer, Thurs
day at the Chicago Rotary club.
Capt. Emmett said the reason for
increasing the ratio of Negroes IN
basic training was the proximity
of the station to the southern
states, from which a majority OF
the sailors are drawn.
In telling the club what had
been accomplished at Great Lakes
in the last two years, Emmett said
two years ago the station had the
capacity for training $500 men
Today it has $4,000 in training and
several thousand additional sta
toned here to operate the station
and assist with training,
He explained that the selection
system is use at Great Lakes is
playing a vital part in getting
sailors placed in jobs for which
they are best fitted. Aptitude tests
are given about a month after re-
cruitS have started training. The
plan has been so successful that

is the Republican party going to
accept the renegades and carpet
baggers" who are running from the
Democratic party because of their
grudge against Roosevelt? 1t looks
as if the Republicans are going to
have to accept these Roosevelt ha-
tiers since it is a foregone conclu-
sion that the President is going to
run for fourth term.
Feeling that the Roosevelts, both
FDR and Eleanor, have done too
much for the Negro in the United
States, the hard-Shelled southern
Democrats are readying an exodus
from the party which has nurtured
them and kept them in their ig-
norant arrogance through the past
IL years, just because they can't
stomach Roosevelt's sometime lib
eral attitude.
MUST JOIN COP
And their only hope is to blast
Roosevelt out of the White House
by joining up with the Republi-
cans. Of course. the Republicans,
hungry after II lean years. will
welcome all the help they can get
to win this election. but if the
party accepts the aid of the rene
gades who are deserving the Demo-
cratic party, the Republicans will
give themselves black eye which
will not be easy to overcome. They
won't be able to keep Democrats
from voting the Republican ticket,
and the results will show just
where the Democrats swung to the
Republican.

Council Would
Take Right Of
Labor To Strike
All From II To

MACON. Ca amp - Bibb
County, which during the last
war led the nation in its attempt
to put labor in straitjacket, leav-
ing workers to the tender mercleS
of Georgia industrialists and plan
tation owners, last week began con-
temptation of an ordinance which
would qualify this community for
the same dubious honors in World
War II.
During the last war when Negro
workers were leaving farm districts
and $5-a-week porter jobs in whole
sale number, Bibb County found
solution for the mass migration
by arming deputy sheriffs and post
ing them at railroad stations to
prevent workers from going north.
WOULD OUTLAW STRIKES
The new measure which was in
troduced in the Macon city council
last week would force all liable
bodied citizens between the age of
II and SIS to work at least 48 hours
a week" and would at the same
time outlaw the right of workers
to strike or otherwise protest un-
satisfactory working conditions.
Both direct and indirect efforts
to incite strikes would be barred
by the new resolution. Introduction
OF the measure followed two strikes

dry workers, seeking higher paw

An about order for people to get

projected measure. This phase of
the situation is touched in the pro-
vision that during the period of
the present war it shall be the duty
of all persons within the CITY of
Macon between the ages of II and
30 years Of age, physically able to
perform any service, whether with
or without means of supporting
themselves, and every person shall.

Useful labor and production of
supplies are of prime necessity to
the existence and freedom of ma
tlonal government and this NUM-

"All able bodied persons should con-
tribute their full quota of energy
and freedom of our country and
this municipality, and idlers. loaf
erS and clackers during such times
are menace to the safety of our
country"
Behind the measure. it is believed
hes determined effort on the part
OF city officials to round up Negro
women to fill the increasing de-
mand here for domestic workers.
negro women have been barred
from employment at the naval or
nance plant here, and for some
time drive has been on to force
1lose women into the homes of
wliioe mothers, so that the white
women could be released to fill the
extreme shortage of workers in the
plant. 49, VIC

FARMERS AND WORKERS LOYAL

There are lumors that the farmers OF
the nation might not produce enough food
for the needs of the United States, much
less the nations that we are supplying with
foodstu[fs
This would be unfortunate. II our
farmers do not provide the food that the
Allied nations require to win victory they
will soon discover that it is easier to raise
crops under g democratic regime than I'M
der an axis army Of occupation.
The same observation goes for some
laborers in the United States. If the work
ers of this country do not produce the guns,
planes and ships and tanks that we need for
victory they will find out the difference be-
tween working for benevolent govern
ment instead Of providing forced labor for
an Axis agtocracy.
We point outsthese obvious facts but
we are convinced that the farmers and la
borers oetheS United States have too much
sense to fall down on the tremendous job
that cones to them III our fight for freedom.
While there may be hot-headed FARM
ers and loud-mouthed labor leaders, the
rank and file of agriculture and labor is
solidly behind the democratic war effort
and can be counted upon to deliver the stuff
needed to carry us to victory

JUST A VOTE CATCHER

Here is an example of Congressional
nothingness:
The House has unanimously approved
Senate resolution, which no doubt went
through the upper chamber with roar,
condemning Nazi outrages against the civil
ian population of occupied countries and
expressing the view that those guilty Of
causing the outrages should be punished
This resolution has no meaning except
in so far as it may comfort the kindred of
the victimized peoples and secure, for Con-
gressmen. some good will. In its effect up-
on those guilty of committing the outrages
it is an absolute zero
If Congress wants to implement its reso-
luton and do something for the Innocent
victims of Hitlerism, let it pass a resolution
pledging the United States to cooperate
with the democratic nations of the earth, IN
the future in order that similar outrages
will not occur.
Let Congress tell the guilty aggres-
sors that it is ready to support world force
to keep the peace and to punish those who
wilfully assault innocent, peace-loving peo-
pies. Let it say, directly, that it favors the
use of American forces, if necessary, 10
maintain civilization, whenever and wher-
ever assailed.
