At a coroner's hearing at Quaker
town on August q the coroner's
jury held Mastin responsible for
the deaths of Willis Cooper and
Mrs. Odell May. Cooper and Mrs.
May were trapped in a crowded
barn in which several families
lived on the Mastin farm. There
were no fire escapes and only one
exit.
An investigation of the case by
John Grantham, president of the
Lehigh Valley NAACP Branch here
had revealed that the workers on
the Mastin farm live almost in
the state of peonage.
Most of these workers, who
were brought here from Florida to
pick tomatoes which are sold to
the government through the
Campbell Soup Company, are hous-
ed with their families in tiny
chicken coops,-filthy and unfit for
human habitation. Although dis
satisfied with living conditions, the
workers claim they have been UNI
able, to earn enough money to lave
the farm.

one finds little difference in
General Stocktons advice than
that issued by the japanese in their
pseudo role Of protectors OF the
darker races. Is not this the same
thing that the japanese would have
all the colored peoples of the world
believe?
WHO is WKONGf
The issue boils down to the SIM
pie problem of whether President
Roosevelt and other United Nations
leaders who proclaim this to be q
war for freedom are right and
General Stockton is wrong, or vice
versa. Our choice, all things being
considered would be that President
Roosevelt Is right.
One, however, can sympa-
thize in way with General
Stocktons fumbIing efforts to
find a solution to the increas-
ing difficulties Negro soldiers
are finding each day in the
smaller communities of the
south. But the issuance Of his
booklet to these troops is Ger
tainly not the solution. 1t mere
" aggrayates the issue.
7 A more sensible approach would
be 2 suggestion on the part OF
| General Stockton to the War De
|.partment that greater protection
from the abuses Of racially- preju-
diced civilians must be accorded al
men wearing the uniform of the
United States Army. 1t is this con-
slant mistreating of and brutality
at the hands of white civilians, par
ticularly civilian policemen, in the
ldeep south that is breeding deeply
smouldering resentment in the
breasts of Negro soldiers, far more
SO than southern laws Of segrega.

SEAT OF TROUBLE
] The educational program Is Ger
tainly not needed by Negro sol
l.diers, the vast majority Of whom
want nothing better than to be lef
alone SO they can get about TIL,
business of winning the war. Thi
program, instead, should be directed
to those communities where blint
prejudice and deep-seated hatred
are reserved for the advent of {.
black man wearing the uniform o
his country.
Here is where General Stockton
needs To- direct his efforts. In thes
communities lies the seat OF 81
civilian-soldier friction, of bite

A. P. Randolph
Suggests Court
For Hearings
Would Apply
To Employers
And Unions Alike
Nv ERNEST E. JOHNSON

WASHINGTON-(A N P)-1hat
legislation will be introduced snort
| ly looking to the establishment OF
what has been described as
Court of Fair practices, to carry
on the work in peace-time that is
being done through the Fair En-
ployment Practice committee cur
rently, has been disclosed to the
Associated Negro Press.
Active sponsor of the bill, un-
derstood to be rapidly approaching
final form, is said to be A. Philip
Randolph, national director, March
on Washington movement ana
president of the international
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Port
ers. AS yet, no names has been
advanced as one who will introduce
the bill, although some names are
running through the minds of a
few people.
BASED ON WAR CONTRACTS
Need for this type OF legislation, it
is explained, develops out of the
fact that at the end of the war,
the present FEPC will have little
of discrimination which 1t may
standing inasmuch as the cases
handle are based largely upon
violations by companies holding
government war contracts.
Outline of the measure as 1t
now stands places responsibilities
upon both employers and labor
unions alike. One is prohibitee
from refusing employment to, or
discharging from employment, OF
discriminating in conditions of EN-
ployment, a person on the basis
of race, color, creed, or origin.
Unions would be called to book If
they deny membership, expel from
membership or discriminate In
any way against an individual for
similar reasons.
The act would apply 80 any en-
ployer hiring five or more per-
sons, and engaged In intensive or
foreign commerce, or under con-
tract with the United States or
any of its agencies. Sub-contrac-
tors are included in this respon-
sibility. Unions with five or more
in membership at eny single en-
ployer are incluoed.

NANE ARGUMENT

The argument that Camp Stew
arts commanding officer uses In
explaining reasons for issuance OF
the booklet Is both and at the same
time inane and facetious. Efforts
to compare distribution Of this
spiteful little pamphlet to the is
suance by the War Department OF
booklets to soldiers entering foreign
countries simply does not ring true
Actually it is an insult to the state
Of Georgia itself.
Carrying the argument to its
final conclusion one finds by
General StOcktOn's reasoning,
Georgia is as foreign In its ap-
preach to the basic principles
OF American justice, fair play
and equality of opportunity to
all people as is, say, Hitler's
Germany.
CT course this Is not true. Ceor
