LGteSt CIO Strike CGIIed At Packard

The C. l. o. Union of automo- bile workers Is evidently bent on e perfect strike record. Its strikes at the Ford plant have become so frequent that they no longer re- ceive public attention.
 However, at the ChrySler plant when 25,OO0 workers were involved recently this C. I. O. Union again made the headlines.
 Early this month the Detroit au- tomobile industry continued to have it's strikes when the Packard Motor Company plant producing Rolls-Royce aircraft engines and Packard Maritime engines, was brought to a production stand-still by a walk-out of several thousand workers.
 The national president of the c. I. O. Union demanded an investi- gation and claimed that the Union did not call the strike. Even if this were true the Union certainly was unfit to represent the workers when 1t could not straighten out a grievance involving few negro employees.

She got nice piece of Venti- lation pipe ready and brought 1t over to Ester Fernio to have 1t welded. Almost all of our Welders have a bucket of water to immerse metal for quick cooling. Dot was holding her material to be welded when she accidently stepped on said bucket and To and behold, she got soaked to the skin and had to wear Ester's shoes while hers had to be dried. The moral of this story is-if you don't want to get your feet wet keep away from the water. "Is her face red?"

Naval Notes

We've picked up a couple of incidents with naval background, one about a 7-year-old patriot and the other concerning a professional man nearly three times his age.
 The older man has been one of those old fashioned rugged lndivi- dualists all his life and considered 1t was his duty to take a berth in the Navy. To his close friend he eonfided that he was chafing under the discipline. He had been ac- eustomed to giving orders, not taking them.
 Not long ago he came home on weeks leave; a new baby was ex- pected at his home. Just before he was due to report back for duty, his friend met him walking up the street with his arms full of bundles.

We hired a nurse and she came down with something, too.

 The H-year-older was an enthu- siaStic lad who applied for enlist ment at the local naval recruiting station. He wasn't very husky and a recruiting officer suggested that he wait a little while until he matured.

nounced plans for the ultimate for
nation and activation of four Ne
gro combat divisions. The per-
sonnet of these four divisions will
total in the neighborhood of $4,000
men. Other related units such as
two pursuit squadrons, artillery,
anti-tank and tank forces will not
number over 100000 men. By far
the greater proportion of Negroes
now in training, from all reports,
are engaged in stevedore work,
euphemistically designated as en-
gineers and quartermaster corps.
Does the War Department con-
template having 100000 Negro
stevedores and engineers and other
types of labor battalions to do the
unskilled and heavy work? Some
one has to do it-but to assign this
work almost exclusively to colored
soldiers is inexcusably unfair and
is evidence of a desire to extend
and perpetuate in the Army an in
ferior status for the Negro.
Reports are rife that Negro SOL
diers in the New Orleans area are
being trained in camp to load and
unload ships and that a great many
of them are assigned daily to this
work on the docks and wharves in
the city of New Orleans.
Whose ships are these men load
ing and unloading is a fair and
legitimate question. Are they the
ships of private steamship COM
panies or are they the ships of the
United States Army transport ser
vice? One report has it that after
spending all day from z o'clock in
the morning until s o'clock in the
evening loading and unloading ships
in New Orleans, these soldiers are
brought back to camp and given
basic training from 6 to 9 o'clock
at night.
1t is this type of rumor, among
many others, that is creating un-
rest and resentment among colored
people throughout America and i'm
pairing their morale to an extent
which would be surprising if it were
generally known.

Negro combat divisions and one ad-
ditional air squadron, but the plans
for the utilization of the great MAS
of Negroes who are to be inducteA
into the Army have remained for
the most part a dark secret.
With due consideration for the
necessity of military secrecy, there
seems little justification for with
holding from the public definite in
formation relative to the plans for
the utilization of the Negroes. From
my own experience in World War l,
l am satisfied that both Germany
and Japan are fully aware of the
proposed strength of our Army.
More, their intelligence services can
be depended upon to know how
many Negroes are being trained and
for what. Only the Negro citizen
apparently remains uniformed. AS
a result, there is a great deal of
suspicion, apprehension and fear
among the great mass of Negroes
that the War Department does not
propose to integrate any consider
able number of colored men into
combat units requiring intensive
training and the acquisition of a
high degree of skill. There seems
to be no intention to develop Ne
groes as paratroopers, as bombar-
diers, as navigators-or to develop
pilots and technicians for light and
medium bombers, without saying
anything about the flying fort
reSSes.
If it takes as long to train the
Tooth Pursuit Squadron and find a
place for it to fight and fly as it
has taken to train the 99th Pursuit
Squadron and find a place for it to
fight and fly, the war will have to
last until 1915 before Negro flying
units enter the area of conflict. This
seems very strange. For if one is
to believe the reports in the daily
press there is crying need of flyers
in China, in Burma, in India, in
Tunisia, in the southwest Pacific,
in Russia and in a half dozen other
places where the United Nations
have engaged the enemy.

But ever so often the ugly head
of anti-Semitism comes out in the
open for all to see. The David GinS-
burg case should have made every
Negro-and every true American
boiling mad.
Here was a bright young law
yer, brilliant lawyer, who took a
job as general counsel Of OPA to
serve his country with his particu-
lar talents at a time when his serv-
ices were sorely needed. He is 81
years old - within the draft age.
His superiors request his defer
ment as a necessary man perform
ing valuable work for the war eff
fort. 1t is granted. Ginsburg, as
smart as most people, sees a long
way down the road. He seeks
commission in the army, first offer
ing his resignation and asking to
be released from the deferment.
And Then Hell Pops
All hell breaks loose. You would
think that no young American with
special talents has ever sought
commission in the army. You would
think, from reading the dirty at
tacks on Ginsburg and his fellow
Jews in the Congressional Record,
that Ginsburg had committed
crime.
Representative O'Flannagan, in
a speech that sounded exactly like
Rankin of Mississippi talking about
Negroes, spewed out the most hate
full anti-Jewish prejudice possible
to get into words. 1--WE don't want
our sons" he shouted, serving un-
der any Ginsburgs!" DR.. Goebbels
could not have been worse.
O'Flannagan did not say any
thing about the wealthy polo player
of New York society being handed
a commission as captain in the
quartermaster corps. No, not a
word. O'Flannagan did not say any
thing about the $4,000 commissions
in the army handed out to civilians
last summer and fall, to good, bad,
and Indifferent persons.
But Ginsburg, a brilliant young
Jew, giving as much to his coun-
try-certainly-as a loud-mouthed,
prejudice-ridden congressman, is
pilloried and his fellow Jews insult
ed and derided because he did what
thousands of Americans have done.
FDR Speaks q Word
Mr.. Roosevelt finally said a word
for Ginsburg. But OrFlannagan
would not shut up. He let loose an
other Goebbels speech. Represen-
tative Thomas Of New Jersey, got
so petty as to count the number of
words the President used on Gins
burg and compare them with the
number used to commend some war
heroes. Nothing except a Congress
sional attack on Negroes has been
more disgusting.
Negroes, II they think at all, can
not ever be a party TO anti-Semi-
ism. They must not only root It
out from among them, but they !

ing of unrest arises between the
two different generations.
We feel that it is not entirely
our fault, and to explain more thor
oughly here are some reasons why:
One: Children possess a certain
stage in life where it is, what you
might say, natural for him or her
to have a naughty independent
mind.
Two: Recreational buildings or
grounds should be established in
all cities or various communities.
For the minds of the youth are
DESTROYS to this manner of anus
ing themselves.
When son or daughter leaves the
house have the feeling that he or
she is not running the streets,
lettering in public places, or bring
ing disgrace upon the colored peo-
pie, but participating in a well sup
ervised recreational and cultural
program.
Why is it that certain individuals
in our community are always ready
to destroy or overthrow well-meant
programs?
The youth of today resolves that
when we can have our say we will
establish recreational and cultural
activities for those following in our
footsteps.
We hope you will publish this let
ter for the benefit of our group as
well as the adults,
