INDlCT 80 TRANSIT WORKERS
IN PHILA. TRANSIT STRIKE

(SpeciaD- PHILADELPHIA -
The Federal Grand Jury investigat-
ing the recent transit strike, which
followed the upgrading of eight Ne
gro employees has indicted 30 trans
it workers for violation of the Smith
Connally Act and mildly rebuked the
management of the Philadelphia Tran
sportation Co., for failing to take
proper action to avert the walkout.
With a pat on the back to company
unions and a slap at the Transport
Workers Union, CLIO, the jury hand
ed up a contradictory presentment,
topping its list of defendants with
the four men who were arrested as
ringleaders of the strike which ended
on its sixth day after the U. s..
Army moved in.
These four men were James H.
McMenamin, William c. Dixey, Jr.,
Frank r. carney and Frank Anthony
Thompson.
Federal Judge Guy K. Bard order
ed bail of $500 each for the 80 men
but no trial date was set. The Grand
jury found that proper conduct by
company executives might have av-
erted the strike; in another, it held
that the promotion of Negroes to op-
Grating jobs was the fundamental
cause of the strike, and in a third,
stated hat the Negro question played
no deep role in the tieup of Philadel-
phia's war transportation.
Again, the jury placed responsible
ity for the strike ~squarely on the
company, then shifted responsibility
to the Transport Workers Union

protest against the ~mistreatment "A
Negroes in the Armed forces.
Mr. Reynolds said it is his feeling
that "On November 18th, America
will have its last opportunity to cor
rect the gross injustices to the Negro
soldier, by voting to put in office a
Republican Administration"
MI. Reynolds, a Congregational
Minister, served two years as a cap
tain of Army C~haplains. As a result
Of his own Army service and through
information and complaints received
by him in the Washington office of
NAACP, he has become an authority
or the widespread abuses to which
Negro troops are subjected.
He served as chaplain at Fort
Huachuoa, Arizona, the only camp in
the United States at which exclus-
lively Negro troops are stationed
where, he states, 10000 troops are
maintained in a condition Of degrad-
alton and cruelty"
Fort Huachuca is generally refer
red to as being a combination of the
horrors Of a prison camp and a mill
itary camp in Africa where black
~colonials are trained. Long sentenc-
es meted out to Negro soldiers as a
result of false charges, unprovoked
assaults by whit officers upon Negro
enlisted men, segregation Of Negro
officers into squalid quarters, at
tempted suicide by Negro soldiers be-
cause of intolerable conditions, state
ments by the commanding general
referding to his $4,000 'niggers', jeer

tenance Of a white supremacy caste
system over all the Negro personnel,
both enlisted and commissioned, are
some Of the unAmerican practices

Chicago, (PPNS) 10000 excited
fans found wholesome release from
the tension of a world at war when
thye pouded into the vast stands of
Comiskey Park Friday night to wit
ness the 18th Annual football classic
between the Tuskegee Tigers and the
Wherefore Bulldogs. Spanked by
the sensational playing Of A1va Tab
or, team captain, Tuskegee upset the
mighty warriors from the Buckeye
State with a 10 to IA victory, in a
game rich with thrills and ~spectacul-
ar plays.
The powerful bright lights above
the park illuminated the colorful pag-
cant as the two teams logged on the
field clad in their vivid colored arm
or. The Tuskegee squad made a
handsome team in their colorS of
crimson and gold; while the Will
berforce eleven looked equally strik-
ing i'll green and gold. A mild TEN
perature and a cool northeast wind
made the setting ideal for football.
The shrill whistle Of the referee
marked the opening kickoff, which
was greeted by a wild cheer from the
crowd that echoed far into the outer
darkness of the night. With cleatS
pounding in the gridiron the two
teams charged down the field and
clashed when Williams of Wilber-
force who received the kickoff from
Tuskegee was brought down on the
IS yard line. The ice was broken
shortly afterwards when Capt. DEM
ison passed to King, who numbered
around right end and over the goal
line for the first Wherefore touch
down. The kick was good making
the score z to 0. AT this point Tus-
kegee unleashed its deadly aerial at

which opposed the strike from the
start and won official Army thanks
for its aid in returning the employ
ees to their jobs.
The jury expressed approval Of
company unions (TWU won a bar
gaining agent victory over a so-call-
ed company union last Spring., which
under some circumstances, the jury
said, represented the ideal" in indus
trial relations. The Jurors also not
ed with alarm the growth of a strong
national labor organization reaching
its t~enacles into every community"
as subversive Of "the life and govern
ment of our great republic"
And in indicting the 30 men they
declared: 1T is our opinion hat all
of these individuals are victims of
larger forces under the influence Of
which they have been affected" The
indictments included two counts: -
Causing the strike and taking part in
a strike which caused interruption Of
the facilities and interfering with the
operation" Of PFC. The maximum
penalty is a year in prison or S., 1000
fine or both.
1T seems quite clear that so far
as there was flame or fire in the
strike, the chief fuel, therefore, came
from resentment over the ~upgrading
of Negroes to platform positions
such as none Of their race had here
tofore held" the Grand Jury said.
The members of this jury wish il
to be known that they agree entirely
with the viewpoint which holds for
this c the right to higher post
ions and wages wherever they 50
qualify on the same basis as fellow
employees of the white race.
I'VE r pleased, therefore, to ex-
press our conviction that the great
majority of the employees were not
interested to strike on this basis"
James ]. Fitzsimon, international
vice president Of the TWU, said The
Union considered the jury report "a
miscarriage of truth and justice"
in their zeal to whitewash the
real instigators of the strike located
in high places Of industry, city gov
ernment and the Republican Party
organizations, the grand jury indict-
ed several innocent workers" Fitz-
simon said.
After tracing the history Of the
strike back to Dec. 81, 1913, when
the Fair Employment Practices Com
mittee ordered PFC to cease dis
eliminating against Negroes, the
Grand Jury declared:
1T appears evident that proper
planning beforehand on the part of
management for such an emergency
(as the strike) and quick action by
responsible officers would have turn
ed the incipeint strike into a f~orceful
display of employee loyalty to their
company and to their public duty.
The jury regrets the failure Of
PFC to take firm hold on the situ-
alton. Their general attitude after
the strike began seems best expressed
in the weak excuse-"What's the use?
Actually on the first day of the
strike a prominent official expressed
it thus to the head of the War Man
power Commission: Its your baby
and it's On your lap"
Referring to the defaeted union
(PRT Employees Union) the Grand
jury said:
The members of the jury are in
~tereSted to note hat countrywide we
have made a long step away from
the company union which might, with
the right motivation on both sides,
have seemed the ideal method of re-

Fall Of Chenghsien
Feared Near in Jap
Offensive in China
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGkING, April 22.-Japa-
nese attacking from the east
have reached the suburbs of
Chenghsien, which is being
shelled and bombed, the Chinese
high command announced to-
night.
The communique also indicated
invaders from around the southern
end of the Yellow River bridge had
advanced westward to establish a
road block on a destroyed section of
the Lunghai railway Is miles west
of Chenghsien.
One japanese column passed
westward across the Peiping Han
kow railway IS miles south of
Chenghsien.
Foreign observers considered the
fall of Chenghsien imminent.
Rich Wheat Crop Theatened.
The japanese offensive, launched
April 18 by $4,000 to $4,000 troops
spearheaded by contingents from
Manchuria, is aimed, the Chinese
believe, at smashing the Chinese
grip of $50 miles of the Peiping-
Hankow railway, a step which per-
mits the enemy to link his north
and central forces in China.
Chenghsien, in Northern Honon
Province, is former strategic juno
tion of the Peiping- -Hankow line,
running south, and the Lunghai
railway, running east and west just
south of the Yellow River.
The japanese assault also Is a
threat to the rich Chinese wheat
crop now ripening in Honan.
Way Opened for Loyang Drive.
The roadblock west of Chenghsien
possibly opened the way for an
enemy drive on Loyang, former
capital of China, up to which point
the Chinese long ago destroyed the
Lunghai railway.
Ferocious fighting for the strate-
gic pass beyond the road block was
reported by the high command,
which said Chinese defenders had
killed 600 Japanese but were wiped
out, except for three men, before re-
Inducements arrived
The command said the pass,
which Is regarded as the gateway
to Loyang, now was safe in Chi
nese hands.
The high command claimed more
than 1900 Japanese were killed in
two days of fighting near Sincheng,
west of the Peiping- -Hankow rail-
way, about Is miles south Of
Chenghsien.
