Can you imagine how the first

through a puddle of beer, wine
or some other swill, left there
by two NJ sailors, supposedly
patriotic Americans.

Word comes to us from Ketchi-
kan, Alaska that, I'VE cater to
whites only" signs are there, ap-
parently headed for the North
Pole.
The story begins with the in
flux of recruits coming up into
Canada from Texas and there
abouts.
Prior to their arrival, work in
this district had been handled
with the help of Japanese lab
orers. Then came the war. A rev
Negroes were TIM recruited up
from Seattle and nearby cities.
Then came the pressure of man
power shortage. Men were sought
and gathered up from the closer
southern states.
Overnight the signs sprang up
all over town, in virtually every
store front: 1--WE cater to whites
only.
Immediately some of the old
timers rushed to the managers
of the various establishments and
asked the meaning of this out
rage.
The reply they received was
"Mr. * we know you. These
signs do not apply to you people
who have been here all along.
We know you know how to act,
but these people who have just
come into town, we're afraid OF
them. We don't know what they
might do or when they might
tear the place up or cut up some
of our customers. You see how
they are acting. Even your wo-
men are molested by these street
corner ISLANDERS. Our women are
not safe. What else can We do,
but protect our own INTEREST,"
The story ends there but we
are left wondering "where doth
lie hope for an obvious lost and
hopeless case, away up In that
barren, icy wasteland?"

THEY NEED
REGULATION

The American Federation of
Labor is not at all enthusiastic
about pending legislation to es-
tablish permanent Fair Employ
ment Practice committee and in
dications are that it will oppose
the bill unless it is changed to
exempt labor organizations from
its terms.
Reason for the opposition is
the routine one: unions say that
a law permitting government in
tervention in laborun ion affairs
to deal with discrimination will
serve to open the door to gov
ernmental regulation of all union
affairs. That position, it must
be stated in all fairness, can be
maintained with a great show OF
reason.
However the argument will
carry little, If any, weight with
Negroes who have been pleading
with the Federation to change its
policies for the past so years.
Some of itsc constituent unions
have done so, in many cases
grudgingly, in some cases freely.
Butt here are still all too many
unions, such as the Boilermakers,
who Jim Grow Negroes in auxil-
iaries and too many more, such
as the Machinists, who refuse to
admit Negroes at all. 1t is idle
for the unions to expect Negro
support in opposition to govern
ment regulation as long as they
permit such conditions to exist.
Negroes know that it was not
the AT of L unions which got
them positions in war industries;
it was government intervention
and they would befoo lish indeed
to swap the big stick of per-
manent FEPC for the weak and
vacillating resolutions with which
the AT of L pays lip service to
the doctrine of equal economic
opportunity.
If the AT of l. unions can't
clean house in interracial affairs
and they haven't done so thus
far-there is nothing for it but
for Negroes to urge government
Intervention. AS newspaper
which has opposed every piece of
legislation thus far designed to
regulate the internal affairs of
unions, the Sentinel wants 1t
plainly understood that it favors
fair employment legislation which
will crack down on everybody
who discriminates and that in
cludes government, industry and
labor.-Amsterda News.

Mrs. Charles M. Byrd,

644 4th Street,
Bremerton, Washington
Dear Sir:
In recent write-ups concerning
the activities of USO Industrial
Services No. 2, 221 Washington
there has been undue stress on
racial Identification which mas
proven very embarrassing to our
office and extremely distasteful
to manv citizens of Bremerton.
Various individuals have be-
sieged our office thinking that
we wrote the articles. In view Oh
this | should like to call your
attention to our USO policy IN
regards to publications and ad-
vertisements both locally and ma
tionally. May l quote: "uSo Is
composed of six agencies ana
represents all people. In view Oh
this all USO clubs and offices
will render service to all falling
within their category of WORK
without reference to race, cfeeo
or color" Unquote, in view OIL
the above policy we cannot IN
anv form label our activities tor
any one particular race.
We hope that this error was
inadvertently made and VIII not
he repeated in the future since
the only Identification permis-
sible by USO is the name OIL tne
club sponsoring the activity. AS
director of USO Industrial SerV-
ices No. Q | am forced to repu-
date any other system since II
is repugnant to USo, myself per
sonally and the citizens of brem
erton.
NAV ask your cooperation in
the future in eliminating raciai
dasignations in articles concern
ing our club.
