the sick man requested that a
hypoderrnic be administered to
relieve his suffering. The physi-

of his weakened condition, but
he insisted and his wishes were
complied with. He then said he
hoped to go to sleep and never
awake, reached his hand and
shook hands with those ab,ul
him and dropped off into his last
sleep.
He is survived by the widow,
his mother, and the following
sons and daughters: Ernest. Han
sci, Roy, Vondo, Raymond, Billy,

CLIO. To Have
One National
Policy On Negro

Washington, D. c. (NNPA).-
A pledge that the CLIO will not have
one policy in the North and another
in the South was made by James
B. Carey, National CLIO Secretary
Treasurer and chairman of the CLIO
Committee Against Discrimination,
in an address before the Capital
Press Club luncheon meeting this
week.
when you go ahead and get
people working together, it sticks"
he told the group of newsmen. "We
tell people their fight is not with
US but with God. Natural differences
are God-made, not man-made."
In carrying out its job, the CLIO
will stand up and fight against dis
elimination, he declared, "and we
won't compromise a little Bit"
On the question of seniority,
Carey said the CLIO Committee
Against Discrimination is not rec
ommending any modification of
seniority provisions because of race,
sex or service in the Armed Forces.
Seniority" he stated, should be
a means of eliminating special
preferences, not creating them" 1t
is a method of operating in a

scarcity of employment. 1t is not
in itself, an instrument for provid-
ing jobs, he said.
He advocated, however, accrued
seniority for men in the Armed
Forces, eve contend that a man
should not lose by reason of his
service to his government. If he
had employment in industry before
entering the service, he must get
his job back through accrued SEMI
ority. If the man was not employed
in industry before entering the
service, we feel he would have been
employed had he been on the home
front. We say he should have i'm
mediately applied to his length of
service in industry the length of
time he spent in the Armed Forces"
On the FEPC, he said no govern
ment agency has done better job,
and that the CLIO favors its con-
tinuance and the enactment of a
law to make it permanent.
eve hope to eliminate the poll
tax" he declared, "and we see
great hope now of doing it."
Concerning the Political Action
Committee, Carey pointed out that
the CLIO is not married to any poll
teal party. "Our main objective"
he stated, sis to get the people reg
istered and ready to vote; to have
them informed on the issues; and
to have before them when they are
ready to cast the ballot the records
of the people seeking office"
eve want, by 1916, 60 million
workers. We want them informed,
and eligible to vote. 1t will be our
opportunity to completely eliminate
discrimination on the basis of eco
nomic, social and political grounds"
he said.
Touching on the international
field, Carey declared that the CIO
has some slight reservations on the
Dumbarton Oaks Conference on
future world security organization.
He said it is necessary that the
people have opportunity to ex-
press their views; and looking at
the Dumbarton proposals, there is
no sign of such an opportunity for
the peoples of India, Africa and
Ethiopia to express their views.
Asked for an expression on the
possible unity of the AFL and CIO,
Carey said he thinks unity in the
labor movement will come. "But we
are not going to compromise our
position to do it," he emphasized.
"a government should be mea-
sured by what it does for the least
of it's citizens" he said. "a labor
movement should be measured in
the same way"

World War / Pension
Bill Stoned Bv President
WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)

WASHINGTON, ID. G. (NNPA)
"A bill providing pensions for
widows and children of veterans of
World War /, regardless of the
service-connection of the cause of
death of the veteran, was signed
by the President this week.
The measure extends coverage to
the families of virtually all World
War 1 veterans, providing pensions
regardless of the cause of death.
Previously pensions were allowed
widows and children only (1) if
the veteran died of disability con-
nected with his war service, and
~ if he died of some other cause,
but had been disabled in the war.
Widows without children will get
$35 a month. A widow with one
child will receive $45, and S. addi-
tional for each additional child. A
child of a deceased veteran, whose
mother also is dead, will get $18.
Two orphans will receive $27, three
will get $36, and for each addition
al orphan 81 is provided.
No childless widow can draw
pension unless her annual income
is under $1,000, nor can a widow
with children qualify unless her in
come is less than $500.
The veteran must have served at
least 80 days for his family to be
eligible. Women who marry vet
Grams after the effective date of
the law must have lived with him
for ten years before his death to
be eligible. This provision is to dis
courage women from marrying vet
Grams with the sole idea of obtain
ing the pensions.
