FEPC Orders
Return of Ship
yard Workers

Immediate return to work of the
Negroes in West Coast shipyards
who had been dismissed for refusal
to pay their dues into an auxiliary
union local of the Boilermakers'
union is being sought by the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice (FEPC) as a pre-
iminary move to adjustment of the
entire situation, it was announced
today by the committee. As a re-
suit of investigation and a confer
ence held in San Francisco on Au-
gust 1921, the positions of all
parties involved in the dispute have
been clarified, the committee re-
ported.
At present attempts are being
made to have worked out between
management and the union a pro-
cedure through which the dismissed
workers may be put back on their
jobs at once pending ultimate set
Element of the entire dispute.
According to the announcement
the discharge Of the workers is ex-
planned by the management as
being in accord with its contract to
discharge any and all workers, re-
CARELESS of race, creed or color,
who do not remain in good stand
ing with the union. The fact that
the workers in question are Ne
groes, the management insists, has
no bearing in the matter.

opinion that "the underlying causes
(of riots) cannot be cured in week
or a year." The measures she advo-
Gates "are practical steps that can
and must be taken by public
spirited citizens in danger areas.
These are emergency measures
aimed to minimize the duration and
havoc if trouble does break out;
and more important, measures to
avert riots altogether" Following
are her suggested remedies:
l. Through newspapers and radio
stations instruct citizens to report
incitory rumOrs to the proper
authorities; 2. Check with authori-
ties to be sure red tape has been
eliminated for declaring a state of
martial law Immediately if neces-
sary; 8. Insist that the best trained
and most intelligent members of
the local police force be assigned to
danger areas; A. Insist on recrea-
tional facilities being provided for
adolescent youth of both races, who
are the most active participants in
race clashes; 5. Set up a Grievance
Committee and invite members of
both races to air their difficulties

local folks have been quite envious
over this couples happiness. I'm
til last month everything In life
seemed to be perfection personi-
fed" for the couple. Here's the
catch, though! 1t seems as If our
widower has a grown son by pre-
vious marriage who has been IN
the army. The young, good look
ing son had never seen his young
step-mother before, nor had the
step-mother seen the son, until re
Gently when he came TO town to
spend his two-week furlough with
his dad.
Wen. you might know the son
and his step-mOther, both being
round the same age. N"uld fall
madly in love with each q her Gun
beknownst to the father and hus-
band). Since the young sOn had to
go right back III tLe army, the two
(who are so much in lOve) felt that
the separation would break up this
strong attraction they felt for each
other and that everything would
go on as before they met. Fate
wouldn't have it that way. Last
week the father received a letter
from his son saying he had re-
ceived an honorable discharge from
the army and he'd be back very
soon to make his home with him.
Our young stepmOther, upon hear
ing the news, is frantic and doesn't
know what to do. She does so
want to be true to her husband.
Do you think she should tell her
husband that she loves his son and
that she doesn't want the boy to
make his home with them? Well,
we're going to leave the situation
now, up in the air" just the way
our young stepmOther feels. (Ain't
life and love grand?) -.
Well, friends, I'll be leavin' you
now, and until we meet again, l am
still,

Natl. War Bond
Representatives
Here Last Week

John w. Written and Mrs. Nell
Hunter, representatives of the
United States Treasury Depart
ment, met with the heads of reh-
gious, civic and fraternal groups
of Minneapolis at the Rawjess
Club Friday, August 81. Mr.. Whit
ten and Mrs. Hunter are officials
of the Organizations Division of
the War Savings Staff, promoting
purchase Of war bonds by Negro
organizations and stimulating the
Indignation of Negro citizens into
local war bond committees.
They conferred with officials of
the local war savings staff and were
highly gratified to know of the
splendid participation by the Wom-
ems Auxiliary of the Minneapolis
Urban League in local war bond ac-
tivities. Mrs. Hunter stated that
Minneapolis and San Francisco,
California, are the only two cities
of the many she has visited where
Negro women have been accorded
representation on the campaign
committees without special effort
on the part of local citizens or Off
Gals of the national staff.
Mr.. Written urged that the lead
ers of organizations point out to
the community, as a whole, the i'm
portance of purchasing war bonds
as a form of savings and invest
ment. Such purchases not only
help the war effort, but will serve
as a nest egg for those who will be
thrown out of employment in the
post war period.
Both speakers urged all-out CO.
operation in the promotion of the
forthcoming war bond campaign.
Mr.. Written advised there should
be a male representative of the
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-09-03

sugars on the plump side, so drop
that argument. Your mother is a
wise and intelligent woman. She
knows what an education can do ..
and you owe it to her to complete
your senior year in High. You
might compromise by promising to
marry after you get your diploma.
That ought to satisfy everybody :. >.
you :. your mother &. and your
sOldier-lOver.
R. NJ: This is my second husband
that l married the 9Th of March and
l am a hard worker and also he is,
but he just wants to throw away
everything that he gets his hands
on, on old cars and women. l talked
to him and it doesn't do any good,
and 1 say the way he does act he is
predetermined. Now that we are
going to farm together do you
think will get any money if we
make any or will he take it all u? I
have a little home and l am striving
to keep it. Shall 1 go on to the
farm with him or what must do?
Ans: Give your husband a
chance. You can manage to hold
your property together until he has
proven his worth as a farmer. He
can be taught to save his nancy, and
now is the time to teach him. Help
him to outline a goal for the future.
Appeal to his ambition, whether it
is to run a profitable farm or to
own a business of his own. Pull
together. If you can convince him
that you are pinching pennies for
his benefit you will get his CO.
operation. So, give him fair trial.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES:
Our story this week revolves
round a rather attractive Twin
City widower who not so long ago
married a very young lass about
town. This couple has been ideally
happy during the first year of
their marriage. In fact, despite
the difference in their ages, many

G. W: My uncle died several
weeks ago. There seems to have
been a little swindEng involved. He
had a home, at least two houses.
One got away from him and was
sold to a wealthy banker. 1 don't
know about the other one yet. Do
you think l should try to obtain or
redeem this property or try to get
any of the money? would like to
try to get the property and resell
it. Would it cost too much to fight
the case?
Ans: There are too many legal
complications involved in your
uncle's estate for you to try to settle
the matter without the services of
an attorney. The first step then is
to put the case in the hands of
qualified lawyer. If you do not
have the funds to hire a good at
tOrney d. . try to get him to accept
your case on a share-the-settlement
plan.
N. L. j.: For seven months l
have been going with one fellow.
He claims he loves me and has
been taking me everywhere 1 want
to go. He has bought me gifts on
special occasions. Recently 1
learned that he and my best girl
friend had gone out together. 1
asked him about it and he said yes,
but it wouldn't happen again.
Should 1 give him another chance?
Ans: Sure thing he's done
nothing wrong. Were you engaged
to the boy, it would be a different
matter but you're not. If he
wants to place your friendship on a
just-gOOd-friends basis don't
get panicky. Accept the PROPOSE
ton like a good spOrt-On his own
terms. Date some of those boys
who have been asking to take you
out. Once your friend sees that you
haven't lost your sex appeal you'll
get some action on the situation.
This is one way to bring your court
ship to a head
W. D.: / am a senior in high
school, considered nice looking,
even tho I am plump. l have been
going with boy for two years and
now that he is on furlough, he
asked me to marry him. l care a
lot about this boy and wouldn't
mind getting married to him but
my mother objects and says she
wants me to finish school first. He
has been so nice to me and is a
very nice boy and 1 am afraid if I
miss this good opportunity, I will
never have one like it again. So
please help me.
Ans: Now don't you let the fact
that you are a little plump influence
your decision to marry one way or
another. Most fellows like their

Sociologist Suggests
Steps to Avert Riots

New York, n. Y. (NAACP)-
An article, "How to Prevent Race
Riots, by Winifred Raushenbush,
a sociologist of national reputation,
appearing in the September issue
of The American Mercury, details
six steps that any community
threatened with racial trouble can
take to avert clashes of the nature
of the Detroit riot which claimed
"a lives, 25 of them Negroes.
Admittedly her article, says Miss
Raushenbush, by-passes "considera-
ton of deeper historical and eco
nomic consideration" and is of the
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-09-03

Queried on its position in the
case, the union is quoted as insist
ing that the auxiliary local which
has been set up for Negroes meets
all requirements and therefore, dis
missal of any Negro workers who
fail to pay their dues in the manner
provided is justified.
The FEPC has received assur-
ance from the compliments that
they are willing to pay their union
dues but in return they desire full
union membership. They insist,
moreover, that the auxiliary local
Setup does not provide them with
that full membership and that if
they are required to pay their dues
into the auxiliary in order to keep
their jobs it is a violation of Ex-
