Carmen Broderick, director of the

Columbus. The band played three

Representatives Of 20 national Ne
gro organizations, in a unity move
Of great significance, have for
mulated a yardstick for measuring
candidates for office in 1914.
Chief issue in next years cam
paign will be the war, their state
ment declares. Next comes elimi-
nation Of the poll tax and estab.
lishment Of the right to vote in
every state. Other issues are: a
program for abolition of lynching;
elimination Of discrimination in
employment; halting Of discrimi-
nation in the armed forces; and
bringing to an end colonial ex-
ploitation.
"The Negro voter has not yet
chosen sides for 1914" the state
ment says. "His vote cannot be
purchased by distributing money
TO and through party hacks. He
will support a political party
which by words and deeds shows
its determination to work for full
citizenship status for 10 million
Negro Americans and to better
the lot Of all disadvantaged people
In this country"
Among the signers Of the state
ment are: Pres. A. Philip Ran

Political Action Is Keynote
Political action was the principal
theme of the convention, which
heard speaker after speaker stress
the Importance Of labor participaS-
ing in the 1914 campaign. James
Carey, secretary-treasurer Of the
national CIO, told the delegates
that labor's greatest fight lies
ahead and that it would be on the
political front
Allen S. Haywood, national di-
rector of organization, and John
Brophy, director Of industrial union
councils, both from national CIO
headquarters, added their words of
the political future to those Of Ca
rey and emphasized that the real
struggle of labor now lies in the
political field.
Resolutions Are Passed
Many resolutions were passed by
the convention dealing with a va
riety of subjects. One praised Pres
ident Roosevelt's stand against the
forces of appeasement in America
and stated that Governor Bricker
"has joined hands with those coa-
scious or unconscious allies Of Hit
Ter within our gates by undermin-
ing the President and the war poll
cies of the organized labor move
ment, thereby spreading dlsunity
and confusion on the home front"
Governor Bricker was called upon
by another resolution to call a spe
cial session Of the state legislature
to abolish the state sales tax and
to change the election laws in such
a way that it would be possible for
soldiers to vote and to see to it
that the increased mobility Of labor
would not disfranchise thousands
of workers. Another resolution
asked that the voting age be low
cred from Il to 18 years Of age.
Other resolutions supporting food
subsidies, reaffirming the no-strike
pledge, and asking for abolition OF
the little steel formula were adopt
ed by the convention.
Support for the Wagner-Murray-
Dingle bill was voted as we'll as a
demand for immediate planning FOR
security and education for dis
charged servicemen.
Other speakers at the convention
were Col. Lewis Sanders, chief of
the re-employment division of the
Selective Service Administration;
w. r. Roberts, labor chairman o.
the Ohio Compensation Board of
Review, and Will Blake, chairman
and labor member Of the Ohio In
dustrial Commission.

This Little Girl Has Seen Too Much

While plenty of people on the Payroll
Savings Plan are setting aside more than
10 percent Uncle Sam needs, lot are
investing less.
The fellows who aren't yei in the Plan
or, being in, haven't yet hit their 10 per.
cent-aren't unpatriotic, or Fifth Col

just human. They just haven't realized
their cOuntry's crying need for every
cent-nOU! They haven't realized that
Americans have been licked in battle for
lack of planes, ships, tanks, and bullets

pointed out that business will
have to solve the problem OF
employment or face the con-
seouences-a change in the econ
omic system. Naturally, he de-
plored such a change. The spectel
of the depression which the coun-
try passed through in the decade
prior to the war is haunting the
minds of many, he said.
Plea for Harmony
The keynote Of Johnston's
speech was a plea for harmony
and cooperation among manage
ment, labor, agriculture and gov
ernment. In discussing labor he
said:
Management must understand
that labor unions are here to stay;
that we must have lower and low
er profits per unit, and bigger
and bigger volume Of sales. Labor
must remove any acts or policies
which restrict or retard produc-
ton. Labor organizations must be
more free, more democratic, more
social-minded. Labor must clean
its own house Of these abuses
which have crept into some of its
organizations.
Solution for Unemployment
Johnston's only solution for
postwar unemployment is that
"the four great interests must
work together to produce more
goods, better in quality and cheap
err in price. This is the key to
employment"
In an interview, Johnston fore
saw a boom period after the war
due to expanding international
markets and demand for consumer
goods in this country. During this
period, he hopes that business car
