transit company WnOm they finally
badgered into unpatriotic action"
Senator Russell declared that
without semblance of legal au-
thority, the FEPC for over a year
had pursued its efforts to cancel
the contract between the company
and its employees and enforce the
hiring Of eight Negroes as engineers
and conductors.
The FEPC finally succeeded in
enforcing its demands. 1t did so
with full knowledge of the evil con-
sequences which its action was Ger
tain to cause.
This strike was not a spontan-
eous outburst, but was the culmina-
ton Of a years pressure by the
FEPC to cancel a valid contract
between the company and the en-
ployes over the protests of both"
Senator Russell said Chairman
Malcolm Ross of FEPC was present
at Senate committee hearing at
which the Philadelphia case was
discussed last fall and che heard
the witnesses testify that If FEPC
persisted in cancelling the con-
tract and enforcing it's directive
there would be a strike
Enforced Labor" Assailed.
He added that the employees had
no recourse or appeal from the deci-
sion of the FEPC, which was both
aaccuser and trier"
The Georgia Senator termed the
methods used to halt the strike
enforced labor with a vengence, "
and asserted that unusually drastic
means were employed - to serve
as an object lesson to all other
employees"
The stage was deliberately set in
Philadelphia, he said, Ito make an
example of these strikers to intimi-
date other workers throughout the
Nation and so terrify them with the
punishment visited in this case that
all of them would submit to any
conditions which this dangerous and
irresponsible group of radicals
FEPC) might desire to create in
their drive to impose 3
social reform upon = =. the country.
AT the same time, these men
were out, there were 10000 other
war workers out on strike. : but
none of these others have been
ordered indicted into the Army.
None Of these other strikers
have been told to return to work
on the penalty Of being denied en-
ployment for the duration of the
war and having their ration books
Cancelled by the OPA.
Other Cases Cited.
IN no other case have employers
been told that they would be put
out of business by the Government
If, in a moment of compass
sion, they employed one of the dis
charged strikers.
This is enforced labor with a
vengeance, and I doubt whether
more drastic means have ever been
employed by any totalitarian state
than in this case.
The Philadelphia story demon
strates two propositions beyond
any argument: % That the Gov
eminent all along has had ample
power to break Immediately any
strike against the war effort that
1t really desired to end,
and (2) that the FEPC has estab-
lished itself as the most powerful
and ruthless agency of the entire
Government not subject to
the jurisdiction of any court and
not bound by any statutory limita-
tons or restrictions"

Labor Leader Gives Inside
Story Of Hidden Wurfdre
Against Germans
By BETTY GOLDSTEIN
Federated Press

Philadelphia (FP).-From French
| labor leader twice imprisoned by ths
Germans / heard the inside story OF
France.
In Philadelphia for the Interna
tional Labor Organization conference
Secretary Lucien AIidol of the French
Federation of Railwaymen told me
how secret army of 115,000 soldiers
is training today under the very noses
of the Germans, how vast under
ground network is raining daily death
blows at the NaZis, how the workers
have planned general uprising of all
the French people for the day the
invasion begins.
Grizzly y-haired NIidol has kind
smile and speaks gently but with de-
termined undertones. His eyes look as
if they had seen much suffering and
expect to see more. Leader of his union
since 1914 Midol was taken prisoner
by the Nazis when France fell and
later transferred to a Jail in North
Africa. When the American army came
and set him free, he went to the head
quarters of Free France in Algiers,
from which Cen Charles de Gaulle's
forces are striking at the NaZis in
Italy and preparing for the final battle
in France.
In Algiers Midol is reorganizing

IL Il. al
Every industry, every trade, every
profession has its own group of dis
ciplined resisters organizing strikes
and struggles in factories and offices
every day, he said. The constant hid
den warfare never stops. Lawyers,
doctors, writer's and artists take part
i'm the resistance, "but the main forces
are the workers, led by the under
ground CGT = General Confederation
of Workers. he explained proudly.
"In the last year $4,000 were exc
cuted and 100000 went to JAIL" Midol
said "More will go. But new leaders
arise.
With the bitter memory of the dis
unity which made France fall like an
overripe plum to the NaZis still evil

Frenchmen paid the price for the divi-
sions in our own labor movement.
We've learned at the cost of much
blood = and many, many lives = that
unity against Hitler was more impOr-
tant than any of our petty little dis
likes and prejudices. But now we know
---and never again will the people of
France forget that lesson. You can see
it in the way they are fighting the
Nazis now"
Then he told me how all the miners
of France, $4,000 strong, went on

ders Everyone knows everything
they do is against the Nazis. And these
things happen every day. The move

leader said.
The people of France have been
called to general strike the day the
invasion begins, AIidol told me. They
will go back to work Immediately after
the liberation takes place, he added.
And already the secret armies are or
ganized inside France to spearhead
the liberation armies, he stressed.
Tell the American workers that we
French workers will do everything in
our power, regardless of the price in
our blood, to crush fascism," he said.

Education FOR
Not AGAINST
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Sometimes we are SO busy talking
about the value of education, that we
don't stop to consider that education
is two-edged sword. 1t can be used
both for and against.
Read any of this seasons crop OF
books about Germany and you will SET
that however much their authors dis
agree on conclusions and recommends
tionS, they all agree on one thing
that the Nazis educated Germany fol
this war.
That is how all relationships sue
ceed--they educate against. The first
objective of all education is to train
citizens. If these citizens can be mold
ed into tight mass by ingraining
false ideas, by teaching hatred instead
of friendships, by showing only one
side of picture, they become so co
hesiye that they can be swayed and
used as one at the beck and call OF
the creator Of their minds.
In democracy it is the other way.
We take the stand of disputing all
facts until they can be proven by the
individual. Our children learn to think
for themselves-whjch is excellent if
they have some standard by which To
measure the value of their own
thoughts.
Socrates said, Whom, then, do
call educated? First, those who con-
troll circumstances instead of being
mastered by them; those who meet all
occasions manfully and act in accord
ance with intelligent thinking; those
who are honorable in all dealings, who
treat good naturedly persons and
things that are disagreeable; and fur
thermore, those who hold their pleas
ures under control and are not over
come by misfortune; finally those who
are not spoiled by success"
That is true education. If we could
put 1t into effect In the world we
could solve the problems that have so
long troubled mankind. If we could
learn to control circumstances, and act
intelligently, we could bring out ac
cumulated knowledge to the solution of
our problems. If we could be honorable
in all our dealings with men of all
classes, creed or color, and treat with
common sense those individuals with
whom we disagree as individuals, there
could be no dissensiOn or group hatreds
to stir up the lunatic fringe, no preju
dice to hamper justice.
Only as we educate toward this ideal
the youth of our nation, the youth of
the world, can we bring peace to earth
and establish the principles in which
we In our hearts believe these princi-
pies of freedom and fair play for all
people. Unless we do this we will re-
main prey to war and to the ambi
tions of self-seeking despots who will
arise from the ashes of bitter strife.
The task is long and it is not easy
but the end is worth all it may cost.
Education for good, education in under
standing is the only way out.

fDefender London OoTTehponuohO
LONDON-From time TO time
during recent months several pro-
gressive members OF Parliament,
headed by Reginald Sorenson and
Lieut.. Hugh LaSon, have raised the
question Of the color bar, asking
Home Secretary Morrison TO take
strong governmental action to safe
guard the rights of coIored inhaoi-
tants Of the British Isles. but with
out success.
Every time Morrison lodges the
issue, giving evaslve answers 10
why nothing can be done. Local
municipal authorities. however, are
reacting vigorously under the pres
sure of public opinion whenever in
terracial clashes occur. Latest pro-
tests have come from the villagers
Of East Anglia against the recent
decision Of local British authorities
which bar Afro Americans from the
weekly dance held for the benefit
OF the armed forces in the local
schoolroom.
According 10 the British report
iimcrow regulations were enforced
by u. S. military authorities fol-
lowing an affray in which a white
American was badly injured. Sew
eral soldiers received severe court
martial sentences. A Britisher re-
sponsible for organizing the week
" dances gave the following inter-
view statement.
"Colored soldiers attended the
dances for several weeks and there
was no trouble. But white Ameri-
cans warned the Britlshers that a
clash was certain because they OBJ
jected TO seeing Negroes dancing
with white girls"
Englishman Wenton says his COM
mittee realized trouble was brew
ing. The committee thought the
best policy 10 avoid fight was the
introduction of the color bar In
everybody's interest and called
meeting of Negro officers and chap
lains to explain the jimcrow policy
! But before this compromise plan
could be put into operation the
| fight broke out"
Continuing TO explain how the
clash occurred. the British spokes'
man said: Fighting broke out fol
