show. But lest We forget, there are
few other games which merit some
attention.
Among them is the clash between
Coach Paul Browns young squad of
civilians representing Ohio State
and the once-beaten burt potentially
powerful Great Lakes Bluejackets.
Spanked by Halfback Steve Lach,
late of Duke and the Chicago Car
dinalS, the Sailors have been travel

Pittsburgh, 40 to O.
The Buckeyes. in dropping their
opener to the Iowa Seahawks and

surprise. A month ago most fans
held little hope for the youthful, in
experienced Bucks. Without a Navy

build its team around freshmen and
any other nonServlce boys.

ment of Labor stated that between
the three-month period of March /
through May 81, 10l, 955 man days
of work in the U. S. War plants had
been lost to the enemy because of
racial bigotry. The Department of
Labor lists protests against the up
grading of Negro workers as the
chief reason for these strikes.
Other reasons recorded are: hir-
ing of colored workers and demand
for separate sanitary facilities;
placing of Negroes in production
department; hiring of Negro plant
guards, and refusal to work with
Negro toolmakers.
The War Production Board esti-
mates that an additional one mil

Firm Stand Brings Hate Strike
Of White Women To Hastv End
Staged Walkout
Over Question
Of Laboratories

DETROIT - CAMP - The en-
tire night crew of white women
workers at the Temkin Gear and
Axle company which walked out on
strike last Tuesday in protest to
using the same facilities as Negro
workers were warned by their SUI
perintendent to "either return to
your jobs or get your pay and go
home"
Because of demand for more
women workers, the ratio of Negro
workers on the assembly lines at
the plant has increased to over so
per cent. Tuesday, white women
petitioned the superintendent to
build separate toilet facilities for
the Negro women. The superinten-
dent pointed out that the plant was
doing business under contract and
was forbidden to discriminate or
segregate in any way against work
ers because of their race or color.

ton, the women walked off the as
sembly line and issued statement
declaring that they wouldn't return
to work SO long as they had to use
the same toilets with Negro wom-
en-, or use the same dressing rooms.
"You will either use the same IA
cilities or fino other jobs" the SUI
perintenden answered. IF there are
those who don't want to work I'M
der those terms, they can go to the
dressing room now, while the Ne
gro women are not in them, change
their clothes, stop by the office and
get their pay. The company is not
going to tolerate any hate strikes
and you may as well know it now"
After remaining off the job for
more than an hour, the white wom-
en- decided to go back to work.
However, four of the women, be-
lieved to have been leaders of the
hate strike, later quit their jobs.
The Negro women remained on

Continued from Last Week.
BY RICHARD WRIGHT

Continued from Last week.
Bigger listened as Mr.. Dalton
told how the Dalton family always
hired Negro boys as chauffeurs, es-
pecially when those Negro boys were
handicapped by poverty, lack of ed
ucation, misfortune, or bodily in
jury. Mr. Dalton said that this
was to give them chance to sup
port their families and go to school,
He told how Bigger had come to the
house. timid and frightened he
had acted, and how moved and
touched the family had been for
him He told how he had thought
that Bigger had had anything to
do with the disappearance of
Mary, and how he had told Britten
not to question him. He then told
of receiving the kidnap note, and
of how shocked he had been when
he was informed that Bigger had
fled home, thereby indicating his
guilt.
When the coroner's questioning
was over, Bigger heard Max ask,
May I direct a few questions?"
Certainly, Go right ahead" the
coroner said
Max went forward and stood di-
ricetly in front of Mr.. Dalton.
"You are the president of the Dali
ton Real Estate Company, are you
not?"
Yes"
Your company owns the build
ing in which the Thomas family
has lived for the past three years,
does it not?"
well, no. My Company owns the
stock in a company that owns
the house"
I see. What is the name of that
company?"
The South Side Real Estate Com
pany"
Now, Mr.. Dalton, the Thomas
family paid you ,.."
Not to mel They pay rent to the
South Side Real Estate Company.
"You own the controlling stock
in the Dalton Real Estate Com
pany, doubt you?"
why, yes"
"And that company in turn owns
the stock that controls the South
Side Real Estate Company, doesn't
it?"
why, yes"
II think I can say that the
Thomas family pays rent to you?"
Indirectly, yes"
who forrlulates the policies of
these two co1npanies?"
''Why, I do"
why is it that you charge the
Thomas family and other Negro
families more rent for the same
kind of houses than you charge
whites?s
81 don't fix the rent scales"
Mr. Dalton said.
WHO does?'
why, the law of supply and de-
nland regulates the prices of
houses"
Now, Mr.. Dalton, it has been
said that you donate millions of
dollars to educate Negroes Why
is it that you exact an exorbitant
rent Of eight dollars per week
from the Thomas finally for one
unventilated, rat--infested room in
which four people eat and sleep?"
The coroner leaped to his feet.
"I'll not tolerate your brow
beating this witness Have you no
sense of decency? This man is one
of the most respected men in this
cityl And your questions have no
bearing -
They do have bearing!" Max
shouted. "You said we could ques-
ton with latitude here! I'm try
ing to find the guilty person, too
Jan Erlone is not the only man
who's influenced Bigger Thomas!
There are many others before him.
I have as much right to determine
what effect their attitude has had
upon his conduct as you had to
determine what Jan Erlone's
had!''
I'm willing to answer his ques- Z
tons if it will clear things up"
Mr.. Dalton said quietly.
"Thank you, Mr.. Dalton. Now.
