SPEND, SUCKER, SPEND!

Following closely our editorial of Sept 1, the
ACCESSIBILITY of people saving money for peacetme needs
while money is plentiful, Adam Clayton Powell editor
of the n Y Peoples Voice of September 9, has this
to say:
Last November PV reprinted a fu-page article from
the Waterville Times, Watervle, n Y. called Spend,
Sucker SPEND The author of the piece warned advised
and begged the people their lavish spending and
put aside their money cushion to protect themselves
during the reconverson period to peace-tme economy
and to thwar the postwar slump which usually follows
great
It not too late to take heed and give serious con-
sderation to this matter today. We Negroes of all
people, remember what happened to during the 30s,
when fired first and stood in breadlnes out of
all proportion to ratio in the population We, of all
people, should realize that viii need those dollars
we are throwing around
It is indeed sickenng to people, many of
whom are earning more money than they did
in their lives filling the bars and night clubs buying fur
coats, 1ewery taking in all the fights the and the
games. Our hotels overlooking with pleasure
seekers The trains filled with travellers We
are ordering two-dollar steak dinners with all the trim
mngs scotch and sodas at so cents throw buying $3.50
nylon hose.
On week-ends the hotels of our city are so filled with
doctors and dentists that frequently thinks a medical
convention being held And upon inqurng one finds
that they here from all the country to attend
prize fight ball game spending from $500 to $500
for one week-end's pleasure.
What benefit will these one-nght pleasures be to us
when we are faced with the need for bread and meat
and milk when there will be meat a-plenty but no
money with which to buy it? How about that college
training for our boy, girl, ourselves or for our
nephews-for that matter?
The money will be a cushion of buying
power when the is and the country needs to
start things up again, and need something to tide us
over during those readjustment days. The dollars we

the dollars we save now in War Bonds and in savings

JUSTICE MURPHY
OPENS FIGHT ON
ANTI-SEMITISM

SAN FRANCISCO - United
States Supreme Court Justice
Frank Murphy, here to launch
the Far Western compaign of his
committee against persecution of
the Jews, warns what he numbers
as 500 anti-semetic organizations
in the nation they're going to
have competition in the open
market"
Arriving to address a Sunday
mass meeting sponsored by vet
eran groups, Justice Murphy told
newspapermen state groups of his
organization will be organized
completely without regard to
party, except 'to see to it that
there's no color or partisanship."
"The Jewish problem has
struck me as being a Christian
problem and an American prob
lem," he said. "We've got to be
sure that the Nazi revolution
doesn't win any phase of this
war. Hitler Embossed anti-semi-
tism as a prelude 10 the destruc-
ton of all liberty"
He said the Nazi programs
success depends on deluding peo-
pie and cited the Hitler theme
that Jews control the worlds
wealth. The justice asserted his
groups study has shown Ameri-
can Jews own and control less
than per cent of America
wealth.

DEFINES OPPOSITION TO REF. Is

Finding it necessary to oppose

the power measure was an
nounced through the ratification
by the unions business agents
from all over the state of a for
NAL statement written by one of
their number.
The representatives of the local
unions formally ratified the ac-
ton of A. e. Martin business
manager of Seattle's Local n, in
answering the request of c. N.
Webster of The Port Angeles
Evening News for a statement on
the Brotherhoods' opposition to
Referendum No. 25 at the State
Federation of Labor's convention
in Wenatchee this summer, when
the convention refused to en-
dorse the political power mea-
sure.
Martins statement referred to
the conventions Resolution 81,
which reads in part: Resolved
that we, the delegates of this
convention of the Washington

record as not supporting by vice

or plan relative to the genera
ton, transmission or distribution
of electrical energy that does not
specifically provide for the work
ing conditions III accordance to
the standard set by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor"
Referendum 25 does not spe-
officially provide for recognition
of unions as bargaining agen-
cies,'' Martins ratified statement
continues, "nor does it provide
for recognition of Union agree
ments which are recognized stand
ards Of conditions as mentioned
in the above resolution. To my
knowledge, no previous measure
concerning these matters has in
cluded the required provisions
We feel that this was not an
oversight on the part of the
makers of this referendum, there

sage.
Recently in Nebraska the
Consumers Public Power District
took the position with orvanized
labor of refusing to negotiate
wages and working conditions ap-
parently taking the position that
when the government or a sub
division of the government enters
into business, that it has no
right to deal with its employees
through the Union of its own
choosing. This same position has
been maintained by various other
divisions of government. Even in
this state our ours they imply,
because the laws creating the OPP
eration of government in busiress
do not specifically provide for
union recognition and bargaining
rights, that they cannot legally
recognize the Union or bargain
with it as such.

similar to it was taken recently
