Shop Stewards
Refused Jobs By
Strike ArbitratOrs

| OCl 1AC IA U1GI dCUI 3
New York City, July THE
board of three, arbitrating a dis
pute involving work stoppages be-
cause war industry employed a
Negro turned down this week the
plea of union shop stewards who
sought their jobs back.
The stewards encouraged the
workers to strike.
The opinion of the arbitrators
was written by George ]. Mintzer,
Impartial Chairman of the Arbi-
| traitors:
The findings were as follows:
The Acme Backing Corporation
is a war plant, manufacturing
equipment for the United States
Navy.
On June 7th the company en-
gagged one Segundo Corchado, a
Negro, as an employee. The first
day he ran an elevator. The fol-
lowing day he worked in the ware
house. On Wednesday, June 9th,
Immediately after the lunch period
he was shifted to the spreading
room.
Within a few minutes, Frank
Fox, Otto Chido and Joe Gerace,
employees and shop stewards and
about one hundred and thirty-five
other employees were on strike.
The shop stewards notified Everett
Jenkins, plant superintendent, that
the strike would continue unless
Corchado, the Negro employee, was
fired. They stated that they and
the employees for whom they
spoke would under no circum-
stances work with Negroes. This
was not the first time a complaint
such as this was registered by
these stewards. The Management
notified the officials of the Union
Local 121 United Gas, Coke and
Chemical Workers-C. I. o.
Charles Schroeder, president of
the Local, and Leo Velardi, its
business agent, pleaded with the
shop stewards to go back to work
and to see that the other employees
go back. The shop stewards re-
fused. They were then informed
by the Union officials that this
stoppage of work was un-Ameri-
can, unfair, and in violation of the
provision against discrimination
contained in the Unions constitu-
ton. The shop stewards again re-
fused.
Mr.. Jenkins, the plant superin-
tendent, fired the three shop stew
ards.
After pleas by officials of vari-
Gus departments OF the govern
of his job and his right to earn
living because of race, creed or
color.
A Negro has the same God-given
right to live and to work as a white
man. To deprive him of work be-
cause of his color is un-American-
it is unfair and indecent. Incidents
such as these frequently bring on
riots and bloodshed. Then the very
foundation of our Democracy be-
gins to shake. Real Americans are
shocked and bow their heads in
shame when they learn of these as
saults upon our Democratic Insti-
buttons.

w. l finished two years of col
lege work in June. My plans are to
90 to summer school and take up
tipping and shorthand so that 1 can
get in government work. Would
this be a wise step on my part?
Ans: Yes, if you have made up
your mind that you want a bust
ness course, now is the time to take
it. If you study hard, you may pos
sibly finish by fall. Getting a job
won't be any difficulty at all.

boy in the service and love him
more than anything else Except
one thing) (smile). 1 have tried to
drop him but my love won't allow
me to. If he doesn't want me why
doesn't he say so? He knows Pm
serious. Please answer, as 1 must
know in time to get the happiness
every girl must have.
Ans: Now don't you worry &.
you will get your share of the
happiness every girl must have and
including that one thing, (smile).
But listen, you are too darned anx-
iOus to trap a husband and your
service boy friend knows it. Re-
member this sister you can lead
a man to the altar by his nose {. &.
but they refuse to be pushed.
G. B.: am married man and
really need help. Ne and my Wife
don't seem to get along so we'll,
only at times. She says it's me
and say it's her. She claims she
don't have any desire for me any
more. She don't ever show the
love and otherwise to me like a
wife should.
Ans: Why should she? You've
nagged at her since the day you
first married, with the result that
you have just about ruined your
chances for happiness. Wives like
to get some fun out of life and
no woman could be happy cOOped
up with a husband whose chief
stock in trade is a sour disposition.
If you love your wife as you say,
why not prove it to her by pro-
viding a few pleasures for her.
NJ. L. T.: am a girl of 10 years
of age, a high school student. 1
want to know whether or not I
would be successful in stopping
school and taking up a trade in
government service.
Ans: Better wait til next year.
Once you have your high school
diploma you will be ready to tackle
the government service. You can't
hope for much in the way of
government job without a high
school education.
A. M: A boy has been trying to
go with me for over years. 1 let
him go with me months and he
wants to marry me. He handles
good money and wants me to save
it for him. What about this?
Ans: Sounds like he means bust
ness but don't let him bride
you with matrimOny. Happy mar
riages are based on love and affec-
ton not on money. If he's
the only man in the world for you
marry him. Otherwise, wait
It'll the right fellow comes along.
B. H. S.: This column is swell.
My husband lost his job and is
now working at a Barber Shop. He
can get a better job by paying a
large union fee. What do you
advise?
Ans: Take the better job. Sooner
or later he will be obliged to join
a union and now that he is
able and has this good offer it
would be well to grasp the OppOr-
tunity. He can always fall back
on the old job. And too the
extra dollars in his pay envelope
will soon compensate him for the
union fee.
W. NJ. c.: 1 hope you will find
enough room in the paper to answer
me. My friend is very nice to me
but he is so mean if I go and laugh
and talk with others. He dislikes it
and wants to beat me about it.
Please help me? He has been my
friend for years.
Ans: Yes, and he knows you
better than you know yourself. He
knows how impulsive you are about

BEING CRITICIZED
City Council Authorizes In
vestigatiOn; Thefts in
Depts. Charged

New York, June 16.-(UP)-A
thorough investigation of the adj
ministration of Mayor F.. H. La
Guardia was authorized today by
the Democratic-controlled city coun-
Gil in a riotous two-hour pre-daWn
session, marked by heated verbal
clashes and charges of theft and
misrepresentation in several city de-
partmentS.
LaGuardia was not mentioned
personally, but his administration
was criticized by the Democrats who
forced through the vote approving
the investigation at session which
began at 1917 a. m.
The tWo-hour meeting became SO
turbulent at one time That five
minute recess was called to allow
temperS to cool.
The councilmen, voting 10 to 5 for
the investigation, named commit
tee of seven to conduct the inquiry
and set Dec. as the deadline for
a final report. The committee is
