THE NEGRO AND THE LABOR SITUATION IN
MISSISSIPPI
BY WILLIE ]. MILLER

Labor Day. 1914 finds most all of us workers or fighters
and yet though history has there been time when
there greater need for the labor of every
and instances child Daily we find persons refus-
ing toAA9reor leaving good jobs here in their homes
TO go to other sections
No Negro here in Jackson who is old enough to work
needs any great imagination to recall the hard days
that followed World War No No jobs money-Sodiers
returning workers who had left their homes moved
their families to distant towns finding themselves turned
off and unable to get work. returning to their old homes
still unable to find anything to do.
And remembering these things it seems that these men
and who refusing to work. would realize
how necessary and important that they should take
advantage of this opportunity to make money make more
money many instances than they have made-hCW
necessary it is show their loyalty their country and
to their former employers by pitching in and helping by their
labor to those things that boys the battle
field fighting for.
We do not mean tell you where to work, and for
who INTO workout do say that glance at the ma
tiOnal will that spite OF the beng
paid in other sections living conditions usually
Favorable that hardly pays to leave home and friends
: for these jobs
We urge Negroes who planning to live in Jackson
and in Mississippi to begin to plan for life and living after
the And the best ways plan for this post
period WORK SAVE Be Industrious self respect
ing loyal and good citizens You without doubt Just
but there right way go about getting these things
Do be influenced by OUTSIDERS, who in with big
promises and talk against your present employers We sug
geSt that you get together among yourselves select your
leaders of your group of fellow workers. who
really know your problems and then have this group go
your employers for proper and friendly solutions.
We still admOnish every Jackson and Mississippi Negro
to least down your bucket where you cast it down
making friends of those persons who around you
And beware of those persons who in attempting to stir
racial friction whose to capltaZe
c the Southern Negro for atheirzown gainses@sa
ECONOMIC SECURITY is of the greatest assets OF
any race-let WORK and SAVE let be loyal to our
present employers and in this way gain for the
crty self respect that will make self supporting and
= loyal citizens in the days after the war.

WHERE BLOWS THE WIND?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Some time ago there very striking cartoon in the
London Daily Herald which reprinted in the New York
many each bearing big bag of loot Behind them ruin
city whose flaming buildings blaze against the sky With
fear in his eyes, soldier crying to the other But the
winds in THIS direction!"
Where blows the wind? The holocaust started small
blaze Japan moved into Manchura We shrugged shout
and said that the fire the other side of the world
Italy attacked Ethiopia and said isn't too bad? The
NaZS began their prosecution of the JeWsand shed
crocodile and said eve do nohingwe don't in
terere with the internal affairs of nation "Then Hit
said at does though Europe could clean its
house"
. We should have known better-we who have had ex-
perence with forest fires who know that dropped match
careeSsy thrown away cigarette bring devastation
Of tmberland engulfng farms and villages it
spreads.
Where blows the wind? Ask those who first bombed
civilians them they stand in their ruined cities with
around them Who started all this? The German
people suffer and complain but they had surrendered
their bodies and souls before the began and they
powerless to control their destiny Where blows
the wind?
1t is right to be mercifulbut not right to be maudn
Twice generation have these fires been lighted We
not bameess that might have used Of pre-
Vention but did nOt-but neither the who
started the fire The wind is blowing fires blazing
and racing with the speed of demons back toward
who started the blaze They that the wild shall reap
. the whirlwind.
1t is breakfire-that protection known to the pioneers
Many of ministers have told emulate the
tactcSof the enemy We no-but are turning the
wind of wrath his directionkeepng the fire from
homes Surely people entitled to protec-
ton those who exulted in the bombing of Coventry?
Not cruely but justice! Not vengeance but the mmll-
table of life The wind blows in direction-nay
it sweep clean that free with naught fear

Cost Of Living Remains Stable
The cost of living has risen six

Secretary Of Labor Frances Perkins
reports. The figure is for the month

ded, average prices Of family liv-
ing essentials have risen 1.8 per
cent, as compared with advances of
6 per cent and II per cent in the
years ended July 1943 and July
1912. Higher prices for fresh fruits
and vegetables were noted. Prices

 BOND CAMP AIGN
Reserve Victory House for Special Sales Features
 Next Month

Local merchants will take over the Victory House June 16th and all subsequent Fridays thereafter as well as Thursdays June 29 and July 6 as part of their share of the city's all-out effort in the forth coming Fifth War Loan Drive to be conducted here from July 12 to July 8.
 This morning it was announced that the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, and the United States Time Corp, will take over the Victory House on June 18th and 14th respectively, the lat ter being Flag Day. Both of these concerns will work under the sU- pervision of the payroll savings division of the War Finance com- mittee.
 Women's organizations will con- tinue their many activities from now on to help assure an all-out victory in what may prove to be the Invasion War Loan Drive. Pur- chases of various types equipment for hospitals and armed forces and such needs as penicillir will be among the goals of these groups.
 No overall city bond quota has yet to be announced but the city will be asked to attain or better a quota of $5,5Oo,0o0 in "E" bonds. The city's quota during the last drive for all type bonds was $14,662,- 900 and it is expected that this one will be higher.
 Local retailers have agreed to meet a quota of $1,200,000 during then coming drive in comparison to their last goal which they exceeded of S1,140O00. As before each em- ploye will be pledged to a sale ot $500 each.
 The town of Middlebury, which is in the Waterbury area in the Fifth War Loan drive, has ac- cepted a quota of $50,oO0, Earl F. Copp, chairman of the Middlebury war finance committee, announced yesterday. This, he said, is sub stantially more than was credited to the town in the Fourth War Loan drive.
