Board Reverses Earlier De- cision On Contract At
 A. C. Peterson Co.

The Regional War Labor Board, reversing an earlier refusal, has ap- proved the contract between Local 55o, Hartford Teamsters, and the A. C. Peterson Dairy Farms. Some 39 en- ployes of the company are affected.
 The Board disapprOved the agree ment last July. Immediately the dairy and the Local entered a joint appeal. The VILE. appeals board after hearing the case, as presented by Henry Dauphinais business agent of the Local, and Peter OttO- witz, representing the Peterson Farms, recommended that the ap- peal be sustained.
 Provisions of the Peterson con- tract are identical with those of the regular milk company agree ments. It provides for a l2H % of all collections for retail drivers; |; 6@o for wholesale men, with draw ing account of SAP a week; an average days pay when men are called in to work on their off days.
 The VILE. then approved the con tract on the basis of correcting gross inequities. It was the second occasion on which the VILE. reversed itself to uphold joint appeal by Local 559 and an employer. Earlier this year the Board sustained similar action made by the union and Jack-the- Ex- pert.
 Most of the provisions were in operation before the contract was drawn up. The chief gains are: two weeks vacation after one year service with the company (formerly it was one week until after the tenth year of service); an increase of $10O week for route foremen, bringing their weekly earnings in line with the union rate of 5000 week more than the average earnings of the men under them; and a full days pay for work on the seventh day when it is neces- sary to work on that day.

SaysSeparation
Is Breeder OF
Discrimination
Segregation In
Armed Forces Is
Also Condemned

RICHMOND, Va-(A N P)-Dlxle
race prejudice is being spfeau
throughout the nation by the soutii
itself. DR.. Broadus Mitchell, noCeo
white liberal and lecturer III
economics at New York uniVersley'
told Richmond's Committee Old
constitution Rights at its annual
meeting Thursday night.
DR. Mitchell, son of DR.. S. Z.
Mitchell of the University OF
Richmond, also blasted race segre-
cation in the armed forces IN
his address entitled Race DIS
elimination in Wartime" Members
of the committee include distln-
guished persons of both races
among them Virginius Dabney,
noted white editor, and Arthur +.
Davis, and President j. M. Ellison
of Virginia Union U.
Describing himself as "a southern
expatriate and refugee from the
south" DR.. Mitchell spoke of the
impatience and stupidity OF war
and of the Negroes progress since
the Civil war. However, this prog
ress was not as great as that OF
some immigrants who came here
from Europe at the rate of 100000
year and whose descendants are
now indistinguishable from the
general run of the population.
The speaker asserted segregation
is nothing but discrimination" and
as long as the races are separated
in the south there will be discriml-
nation because the south is flnan-
cially unable to furnish equal faci-
lities.
The Negro shuns action because
this may lead to race roits which,
horrible as they may be, are
'trifiing as compared with what
we're doing in the name OF free
DOM" Dr. Mitchell declared, adding
that I'VE fight Hitler because of
the way he treats the Jews and
Catholics, but we continue to as
sign a large percentage of our popu-
lation to disagreeable role"
The CLIO drew praise for its
liberal attitude toward Negroes,
and the speaker said it is doing
much to break down southern
segregation by Organizing southern
white men and Negroes into the
same unions.
THE south has lived by exploita-
ton, and the drive to do away
with the benefits of the Farm Secu-
rity administration is led by the
lords of the land who do not want
anything that will better the po-
sition of those who do their work
for them" he charged. In this way
the south is imposing it's prejudice
on the entire nation, asserted DR..
Mitchell.

Trade School Idea In Negro
Schools Raped By Speaker
Davis Assails
propaganda OF
Washington

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va
(SNS)-Speaking last Friday night
at a banquet in honor of IL newly
elected members of Kappa Delta,
Hampton Institute chapter of Alpha
Kappa Mu, intercollegiate honorary
scholastic society, DR.. Arthur P.
Davis of Virginia Union University
criticized the powerful influence
of the trade school idea in Negro
education" and asserted that it
has served to distort and belittle
among Negroes the Importance of
acquiring merely academic knoWl-
edge.
Assailing the propaganda" Of
Booker T. Washington, DR.. Davis
declared.
Booker T.. Washington sweep
ing that room at Hampton became
the symbol of Negro higher educa-
ton. Northern philanthropy and
Southern appreciation were shower
ed on the Negro schools which fit
ted into this stereotype.
OTHERS STRUGGLED
"Those which taught Negroes
liberal arts course had to struggle
along with poor buildings and in
adequate endowments. Many Ne
groes therefore lost faith in liberal
training, coming to look upon it
as impractical
Defending the role of the
scholar in the modern world, DR..
Davis said Negro scholars also
must participate in the task of
carrying on the intellectual heri-
tage that has come down to this
age.
THE study of this heritage is
not a frill for a Negro scholar" he
declared. ut is basic require
ment. 1t is not only his heritage,
but a part of his armor as well.

side, listening.
"Ycu hear that? he said softly.
Bigger looked at him puzzled. He
listened, hearing at faint din

catching hold of Bigger's arm.
Bigger was reluctant to follow
him.
Come on. Nobody's going to hurt
you"
Bigger followed him out of the
door; there we've several policemen
standing on guard in the hallway.
Buckley led Bigger to window
through which he looked and saw
the streets below crowded with
masses of people in all directions.
"See that, boy? THOSE people
