Dear H. Q. Brown Service Club:

Dear H. Q. Brown Service Club:
1t is now 1880 hours, Tuesday,
Oct. 81, as / write this little mis-
sive in acknowledgment of the
thoughtful Christmas greeting card
l just received from your very eff
ficient organization. The thought
of your club remembering me way
over here touches me deeply. Some
times we G. rs off in remote parts
of the world such as this, get to
thinking that maybe the folks back
home don't care about us, but it
takes just little thing as this card
to reassure US and re-establish our
faith in the goodness of mankind.
You know sometimes we can get
awful shaky in our belief in human
ity especially over here and it takes
something just like this card to
put US on even keel again.
Since I've been in this theater
I've been fortunate in contracting
my brother, 1t. Reginald A. Harris,
although haven't seen him as yet.
In my next telephone conversation
/ shall surely tell him of the good
work your club is doing.
1 am enclosing a stenciled copy
of the Christmas Greeting card
" mail rather) that 1 drew up for
our company. l am working in the
capacity of craftsman for the COM
pany and l find the work very in
teresting.

Good Conduct of
Negroes in Public
Urged by Reader
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Sometimes we feel like we would
choke if we didn't stick out our neck
and get few things off our chest.
We are not posing as a reformer
and any cynicism is purely uninten-
tional, but a few recent observations
of misconduct, if continued, will
surely retard our progress in the
war against discrimination.
A dry night club was organized
for teen age boys and girls in our
city-the colored patrons were well
coined and treated with courtesy,
but before long that undesirable
group without any sense of good
manners, barged in like gang bust
ers and now that pleasure for all
brown skins is out.
Recently we saw one of our high
school boys, from a respectable
family, too, sitting in the center
of street car smoking like an en-
CINE disregarding the large sign,
"No Smoking" directly in front of
him.
We also saw a young colored
mother with a tot that appeared to
be less than two years old get off
the street car on a busy down town
corner and put a regular Simon
Legree on the little fellow with a
stick-all uncalled for in public.
We are still at loss to know
why the patrons of the Fletcher
Henderson dance last week left the
empty refreshment bottles all over
the floor endangering the life and
limbs of the dancers.
Recently two of our well-known
matrons were admitted with court
esy to the cocktail lounge in one
of our best down town hotels. The
manager and owner of the hotel
say, "bar no person because of race
or color as long as their appearance
and conduct is o. k" These gals
got themselves highly intoxicated
and put on a performance that en-
barrassed the management, guests
and Negro employees-they played
the dozens like they were being
paid for it. We need to add a cam
paign of good conduct to our many
other campaigns in our Twin Cities.

Postal Employees
Need Pay Raise

Nccu Edy NdlSS
Editor: Shortly before the ad-
journment of Congress hearings
were held before the Senate Post
Office Committee on S. 1882, the
Mead postal wage-increase bill.
This bill would provide for a per-
manent increase in pay for all
postal employees in the amount of
$500 annually, and would replace
the temporary bonus measure I'M
der which we are now operating
and which expires on June 80, 1945.
AS you may know, postal work
ers have not had a raise in pay
since the REIMBURSEMENT Act of 1925.
Bureau of Labor statistics admit
an increase in living costs since the
start of the war of % per cent but
fail to take into consideration such
items of expense as taxes, trans
portation, rent, ETC., so in reality
the true figures would indicate an
increase we'll in excess of 40 per
cent. This fact has been borne out
by the minority report of the two
labor members of the Presidents
committee to study the cost of liv-
ing. AS against this tremendous
upward trend in living costs we
have only a IA per cent increase
under the provisions of the tenn
porary bonus. The $500 permanent
increase would still fail to meet
the additional expense burden but
should be in line with stabilized
wages after the immediate postwar
years have passed so we feel that
we are very reasonable in our de-
mands.
There has also been pending for
some time past before the House
Post Office Committee H. R. 4501,
a bill which would provide for the
payment of time and one-haf for
all work performed in excess of 40
hours per week, based on 253-
day year. Due to the fact that at
the present time our overtime pay
ments are based on 306-day year
We have the unusual situation of
receiving less per hour for over
time than for a similar hour of our
regular work day. In asking for
the passage of this bill we are
merely seeking the same overtime
benefits as prevail in private in
dustry. l think the general public
is familiar with the long hours of
work which have been made neces-
sary for all postal employees as
their contribution in the war effort.
1t is only just that they be given
the benefit of this long overdue
corrective measure.
We have been assured that i'm
mediately following the election
both House and Senate Post Office
Committees would complete hear
ings on these bills and consider all
phases of the postal salary struc-
ture. In order that we may obtain
prompt approval in Committee and
action in both Houses of Congress
it is necessary that we create ia
vorable public opinion.
Toward that end ask that you
aid our cause through the editorial
pages of your papers and thus as
sist our campaign to secure the
enactment of these worthy meas
ures at the earliest possible date.
Let me assure you that your efforts
will be deeply appreciated not only
by the postal clerks whom 1 have
the honor of representing but by
all postal employees who will be
the recipients of the benefits pro-
vided by these bills.
Yours very truly,

at Provident hospital; in St. Louis
at General hospital; in Washington
at Freedman's; in New Orleans at
Flint Goodman's, all over the land
in cities where Negroes are con-
centrated in large numbers. Price
less energy which, if put to con-
structive use, would put the race
ahead by many steps in achieve
ment, gone for naught in emotional
outbursts which in many instances
have tragic consequences.
Incidents Are Mostly Trivial
In Kind
The viciousness, nearly animal
like in its unreasoning intensity
and mahgnance, among Negroes to-
ward one another is a serious prob
lem. Anything, almost, will in
flame the passion of a Negro
against another. A quarrel over a
woman; an accidental humping into
another; the way one looks at the
other-or, just a plain case of
cussed determination to exhibit
ones contempt for his fellow
being, these are some of the causes
for the strange malady with which
we are afflicted. Sometimes the
element Of gain is involved, rob-
berries, holdups, ETC., but such incl
dents can be added to the more or
less general types of crimes for
which police remedies are provided.
Most of the Negroes who are so
quick to kill, beat or main one
another, are as tame as rabbits in
their native cities in the South
when the white man comes along.
They get off the streets as he ap-
proaches, bow and scrape, show
plenty ivory in grins and move with
willing alacrity at the command of
the most insignificant white. All
they are concerned with is that
they are obeying a white man,
showing him Difference, making
him feel good by servile attitudes.
The vicious white man in the South
can do practically what he pleases
to Negroes and, in nine out of ten
cases, can feel assured of his own
safety. He can browbeat Negro
women, insult them, cheat, steal,
shortchange and shortweight Ne
groes on all sides, and the worst
he can expect is the cussing out
that comes from too much pressure
and the Illustration of the newt.
ableness of fate on the part of the
Negro who is thus forced to say
something in retaliation.
Such Cases Number in Thousands
The young Negroes, fighting il
the middle of a Harlem street thu
other night, can be multiplied By
the thousands to get a more com
plete picture of the whole sordid
vexing and dismaying problem. Tn,
instructive desire on the part o.
such people to vent their spleen OF
each other-even to the point o.
bloodshed, is mirrored in thu
mounting police and court record!
of felonies, and cases of disorderly
conduct on the calendars in Negro
communities, such as, Harlem
Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Los
Angeles, Memphis, st. Louis, New
Orleans, and Atlanta. In most in.
stances, it will be found that the
cases of felonies involving assault
and murder and plain brawline
among Negroes are cases which are
exclusively Negro. They're toe
scared to exhibit such violent re-
actions against the white man who
does and has done far more to them
than the Negroes who accidentally
bump into somebody of color and
gets his head cut off for the
"crime."
