t,lnity for all Americans.
FEPC REVITALIZED
Less than two weeks had passed
after this important ruling was
made when President Roosevelt,
with a stroke of his pen, revitallzed
the agency which reactionaries had
fought with unrelenting vlgor to
kill - the Committee on Fair En-
ployment Practices.
The committee empowered by
executive order to promote the
fullest utilization of all avail
able manpower and to elimi-
nate discriminatory practices"
after its baptism of fire,
energies not weaker, but with
vastly increased powers to
fight the evil, discrimination,
which weakens our war effort
With these federal moves de-
signed to make equality of oppor-
tunity more than a loosely used
phrase, leaving the race-baiters
and American would-be-H itlers
staggering under their impact. the
knockout punch was delivered last
week in the War Labor Boards de-
cision against the sacred Southern
tradition of wage differentialS
based on race.
RULING SIGNIFICANT
The ruling was more significant
and far-reaching than many per-
sons yet realize. It. in substance,
placed the government on record
as endorsing the plaintiffs case In
every one of the series of suits now
pending in the Southern states
seeking equal teachers salaries.

PHILADELPHIA, July 17.-Labor
Goes not plan to form a new politi-
cal party, but move for complete
political unity in the coming cam.
palgn' is under way, Sidney Hill
man, chairman of the CIO Political
committee, told meeting here to-
DAY. He said that unified support
OF the AFL, CIO and railroad
orotherhoods will be sought.
Ihe meeting was described nv
speakers as the first of a series of
regional conferences to outline la
bor's political plans. Delegates
present represented trade unionists
IN Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey, Massachusetts and Marv-
land
Labor, Mr.. Hillman said, is pre-
pared to indorse candidates who
have supported President Roose-
welt. adding that "isolationist Re-
punlicans and their reactionary
brothers in the Democratic partv
are venting their hatred of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and labor at the ex-
pense OF national security. Thev
have subordinated the Nations war
against the Axis to their own pri-
vate war against labor and the White
House"
He termed passage of the Smith
Connally anti-strike law cynical
disregard OF labor's continuous and
unremitting effort on the produc-
ton line" and added that it .is
actually a strike-provoking meas
ure.'

The rent had 10 be paid the third
week of her idlcHcss and SO she had
10 take $50 from her precious fund.
and she had to take out money for
car fare and lunches. and for all
that Andrea protested. she insisted
on paying her half of the food bill.
Then the fourth week. when
Washington was so busy getting its
alphabetical bureaus organized
without benefit of her stcnographic
help, she heard there was job az
a typist at the First National bank
and went there prepared to take
anything she could get.
Al the bank she was told 10 wait
to see n Mr.. Simmons, so she sat
! herself on a chair outside the rail
which divided the lobby from tbs
public privacy that is peculiar to
bank officials. Mt Simmons was
talking To tall gentleman in Il
white linen suit. and when lie rose
to leave. Beth thought the banker
beckoned for her To come in.
She was a little clustered and so
managed TO bump sQuarely into the
man in the white snt.
Sorry" each murmured to the
other.
Then lie said. "Why. It's Miss
Kinnan."
Mr.. Simmons said. please wait
outside. miss. I'll call you
when Tn ready"
Beth felt herself flush, Ike a
charity case being told to wait its
turn. and when Dennis said. so we
share the same bank?" she said.
Not yet. You probably own it. I'm
just here hoping TO get a job"
You're n secretary, aren't you?"
Dennis asked, leading her away
from the rail.
She nodded. II was. My employ

his fingers. You mean .,ou want 10

She nodded. Il thought I'd like
to get out and see something of the
world besides Pennington. but I
guess that was an idle :" She
cast an anxious look over her Shout
der at Mr.. Simmons, who was now
dictating to a stcnographer. .
Then to her utter amazcmcnt,
Dennis was taking her hand and
leading her out of the bank.
Once outside he let her hand go
and took her elbow. IF you still
want to go TO Washington, young
lady. believe can do something

Andrea said, What are lou get

And then the he'll rang and it
was a friend Of Andrca's who had
come IN Ia play bridge. so Beth
didn't have 10 answer any more
questions. for which size was great
~ relieved.
She had it all planned. Just the
way she would do it. First there
would lie The news-probably by
telegram the commission told her
! in the post offiCe-and then she'd
show it To Andrea and tel! her how
she wanted to do something useful
ana Andrea would be sure TO see 1t
that way. and then she'd remind
Andrea that Peg wanted to come
and live with her, and say that they
could always see each other.
And that way she would get
away and Andrea would never
know that It was just because she
didn't want 10 see Jim. Maybe later
when they were marricd-and she
sometimes thought Of what the
judge had said TO her on his
dcathbed about other men in other
plaCcs-she wouldn't ache over Jim
any more.
SO the first week went by. and
then the second. and Beth began to
jump toward the telephone when II
rang, and to be awake an hour be-
fore the postman made his first
call. but there was no news, and
she knew she'd have to start look
ing for another job.
Sometimes she wondered what
would happen if she took her
money and went 10 Boston or New
York and tried to live on it until
she got job. But she wouldn't
think of that until she heard from
Washington.
In June the poster in the post
office Knocked her when she went In

see why there had been no news.

to SIT tight. eventually she'd be sent
for.

enough. Beth began her rounds of

from that, SHE couldn't have told
