Hollis Dillon
TCOP Employee
Struck By Auto

The condition of Hollis Dillon,
TCOP employee, who was struck
by an automobile Dec. Is, at Wash
ington and Twelfth avenues in Min
neapolis, is still critical.
Dillon was struck by car driven
by DR.. Raymond Beach, 924 Good
rich Ave-, st. Paul, and suffered
broken leg and other injuries. He
was also unconscious for some time.
Police reports indicate DIR. Beach
stopped his car a half block away.
He was arrested by police and
charged with careless driving and
failure to render reasonable aid
to the accident victim. At press
time, his case had not yet come up
for court disposal.
Dillon is the father of six chill
dren, and his wife is expectant. The
family lives at Ola Bryant Ave. N.
Dillon was one of the first Negro
employees at Twin Cities Ordnance
Plant, and is extremely popular
with his fellow employees.
Assurance that the Dillon fam
lily would have a comparatively
cheerful Christmas despite Mr.. Dill
Ions serious accident, was aided
by the reported gift of a three
figure check.

guage which directs the manner in
tive shall perform its duties. But
it cannot be assumed that Congress
meant to authorize the representa-
tive TO act so as to ignore rights
guaranteed by the Constitution.
Otherwise the Act would bear the
stigma Of unconstitutionality I'M
der the Fifth Amendment in this
respect. For that reason | am will
ing to read the statute as not per-
hitting or allowing any action by
the bargaining representative in
the exercise of its delegated pow
ers which would in effect violate
the constitutional rights of indi-
viduals.
IF the Courts construction of
the statute rests upon this basis,
/ agree. But l am not sure that
such is the basis. Suffice it to say,
however, that this constitutional
issue cannot be lightly dismissed.
The cloak of racism surrounding
the actions of the Brotherhood in
refusing membership to Negroes
and in entering into and enforcing
agreements discriminating against
them, all under the guise of Con-
gressional authority, still remains.
No statutory Interpretation can
erase this ugly example of eco
nOmic cruelty against colored citi-
zens of the United States.
Nothing can destroy the fact
that the accident of birth has been
used as the basis to abuse individu-
al rights by an organization pur-
porting to act in conformity with
its Congressional mandate. Any
attempt to interpret the Act must
take that fact into account and
must realize that the constitutional
ity of the statute in this respect
depends upon the answer given.
THE Constitution voices its dis
approval whenever economic dis
elimination is applied under au-
thority of law against any race,
creed or color. A sound democracy
cannot allow such discrimination to
go unchallenged. Racism is far too
virulent today to permit the Slight
est refusal, in the light of a Con-
stitution which abhors it, to expose
and condemn it wherever it appears
in the course of a statutory inter
probation"
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1944-12-22

Lnat railroad IS not bound or en-
titled to take the benefit of a con-
tract which the bargaining repre-
sentative is prohibited by the
statute from making.
The decision was handed down in
the TunstalI and Steele cases
against the Louisville e. Nashville
Railroad Company and the Broth
erhOod of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen. Attorney Charles
Houston successfully argued the
cases before the Supreme Court.
The decision virtually nullifed

between the Brotherhoods and the
Southeastern railroads which pro-
vides Negroes are non-promotable
and designed to drive Negro fire.
men from railroad employment.
Associate Justice Murphy, con-
curing in the decision, delivered
an opinion which may well become
a monument to democracy. In it
he said: "The economic discrimina-
ton against Negroes practiced by
the Brotherhood and the railroad
under color of Congressional au-
thority raises a grave constitution
al issue that should be squarely
faced.
"The utter disregard for the dig
nifty and the well-being of colored
citizens shown by this record is so
pronounced as to demand the invo-
cation of constitutional condemna-
ton. To decide the case and to
analyze the statute solely upon the
basis of legal niceties, while re-
naming mute and placid as to the
obvious and oppressive deprivation
of constitutional guarantees, is to
make the judicial function some
thing less than it should be.
"The constitutional problem in
herent in this instance is clear.
Congress, through the Railway La
Dor Act, has conferred upon the
union selected by a majority of
craft or class of railway workers
the power to represent the entire
craft or class in all collective bar
gaining matters. While such a
union is essentially a private organ
ization, its power to represent and
bind all members of a class or
craft is derived solely from Con-
gress. The Act contains no Ian
which the bargaining representa-

Washington, D. C. (NNPA) -
Seventy-nine Congressmen-elect to

sight on the tar McALPlN
get. You can't afford to miss the
bulls eye too much. People lose
confidence in you when you do so
too often.
But who can criticize one for be-
coming sentimental about Christ
mas, particularly in this year when
the world is torn by chaos, intrigue,
slaughter, exploitation, discrimina-
ton, and just plain cussedness? A
little bit of concentration on the ex
ample of Christ, whose birthday we
celebrate on Christmas Day, is not
amiss.
There are a lot of other things
I could write about this week. For
example, could tell you the in
side story of letter written by the
Department of Justice to Rep. Mary
Norton, chairman of the House La
Dor Committee, back in July con-
corning some of the legal and con-
stitutional technicalities in the
pending bills for a permanent
FEPC. could tell you about the
part Chairman Malcolm Ross of
the present FEPC played in having
that letter sent to Mrs. Norton,
and then trying to convince us
newsmen that his only interest in
the legislation for a permanent
agency was limited to the "need
for such legislation. And could
include how Mrs. Norton hid the
letter even from her Labor Commit
tee members until recently.
Or, could tell you the story of
a high ranking Army officer who
went to high ranking Negro gov
eminent official-a friend of his
seeking information to settle bet
on whether Negroes in Chicago OBJ
served monthly push 'em" day
when all Negroes pushed white peo-
pie off the sidewalk just for pure
meanness. The officer was betting
on the right side-he bet nothing
of the kind happens. The high
ranking Negro government official
is getting affidavits from prominent
Chicagoans to help him prove this
point.
Or, l could tell the story, of a
former cabinet member who threw
I'D his hands in frustrated amaze
ment at a suggestion that employ
ers be required to make use of all
available labor, including Negroes,
as a means of avoiding the neces-
sity of a National Service Act that
would tear people from their fami-
lies and homes in order to meet the
manpower requirements of war pro-
duction several months ago. He
couldn't conceive of forcing an en-
ployer to hire Negroes whether he
wanted to or not-yet he was will
ing to have workers moved about
against their wills.
Maybe I'll tell the whole story of
these things in later columns. But
this week, so near to Christmas,
l choose rather to let the "dirt"
stay covered, and uncover only
my sentimentalism.
May peace come on earth, and
goodwill into the hearts of all men.
