REPEAL NEGRO WORKERS
Defeated UTSEA

Washington, April 6 (ANP)-The
setback encountered two weeks ago by
! the Unitel Transport Service Employ
es Of America (CIO) in a plant wide
election of the Pullman company,
held under the National (Railway)
Mediation board, again focuses atten-
ton upon the Negro in the labor
movement.
Organizing efforts had been going
on for sometime by representatives Of
the UTSEA, whose president, VIII
ard S. Townsend is a member of the
Go executive board, The drive was
broad and thorough, and the only com
petition was that offered by the Pull
man Shop Employees association, a
company union.
Approximately 5000 ballots were
cast by both Negro and white wnlk
ers in which they were given the priv
ilege Of selecting their bargaining a.
gent. The UTSEA was defeated by
the narrow margin of 1877 votes. and
it was Negro workers who handed
them the defeat.
In St. Louis alone about VOC Negro
es casr their votes for the cornpan
union. In Atlanta, again large nun,
bers of Negroes supported the I'm
ployes association while many of tne
whites in that bias-ridden state Of
Georgia were willing to accept 5ie
UTSEA with its Negro presideit 4
thing that was made much Of by TIL
opposition.
The CIO affiliate scored heavily in
Richmond, Cal, Buffalo, Wilmirgto7
Del, Calumet and Chicago.
1t would have been unsound { II the
ITSEA to have pushed for tie cleo
ton at this time if their organizers
had known the picture in ST. Louis.
Exp aiming the unions confidelce that
all was satisfactory, Townsend said
hat pledges had been received from
almost all of the Negroes, bu. they
were unwilling to sign a card. Ali OF
them promised to cast their vote for
UTSEA,' he said, but entertaine1
Doubts about signing the card 1t
was hard to tel then whethec they
were actually with US Or against U.s.

HIS LAST GOODBYE

EQUAL JOB OPPORTUNITIES
FOR ALL, is POLICY OF ANTI
FASCIST VAR PLANT HEAD
Chicago, April 3 CAMP Abra-
ham Rubin, vice president of the MAJ
tioaal Smelling Co., Of Cleveland, re-
Gently proved himself a real anti
fascists, pro-labor employer, in his
fight against racial discrimination and
by giving Negroes full equality III
job opportunities and %upgrading al
his 100 percent war plant.
At his war plant which employs
1.4OC Negro and white workers, Ne
groes work as foremen supervising
white workers; white and Negro
workers take training courses in skill
ed trades side by side the chairman
OF the executive shpo committee is a
Negro and the plant physician is a
prominent Negro doctor. Negroes
are active in all sport around the
plant.
Declaring that he is eager to see
mixed teams in the major leagues and
| seg1 egation abolished from the armed
forces, Rubin believes that such chang
es would aid in bringing about an
carly end of the war. Rubin, a thor
ough pro-unionist, insists that a
| strong labor movement is a major bull
| wark against fascism.
His workers are 100 percent organ
lied by the Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers Union, CLIO. Union lead
ers and plant executives serve on a
labor management committee, which
actively promotes employee health and
welfare, athletic programs, safety
measures against industrial accidents.
Asserting that men are men re
gardless of the color of their skins,
then ancestry or their Names" Rubin
is emphatic in his idea that men Of
different races, origins, religions, can
work side by side in harmony and
good will"
1--WE haven't built an interracial
utopia at the plant the executive
explains, we've still got a long way
to go. White workers don't easily
give up the prejudices inculcated in
them from childhood. Negro work
ers don't lose quickly the resentments
and suspicious built up by years Of
undemocratic determinations and hui
mutations imposed upon them. We
sicne can't change the unfavorable
off-the-plant environment of our Ne
gro workers. But we can and must
help abolish racial discrimination ev-
erywhere. It poses the greatest
single challenge to American democ-
racy.'
Rubin, 50 years old, started as ar
or1ard boy in the smelling plant he
now heads, 80 years ago. He strong
ly advocates equal job opportunities
