THE JOB PROBLEM

The labor meeting to be held in Columbus Ave-
A. M. E. Zion Church tomorrow afternoon is
casion of tremendous Importance is indicated by its
announced purpose of telling how to get and hold
and better jobs and in the postwar period when
the ends" says Harley M. Kgore, author of the
Kilgore BILL 'jobs will disappear for twenty million
workers in war productions To these within a few
months will be added ten million servcemen who will
return to civilian life. Whether not the Government
steps in by the passage of the Kgore bill which would
tide obess workers and veterans the
sion period is probable that there will be scramble
for jobs simpl ybecause many naturally prefer
ployment to any arrangement that of dole The
experience gained in changing production should
help to shorten the swng-back to civilian production
But obviously during that period and for time there
after the job shortage will continue acute What will
happen to the coored worker? Will his turn come after
all others have been given work? What about the jobs
coored workers hold in regular peace time occupa
tons? Will the employment be theirs to keep when the
ends? 1t is knowledge that in many cases
the colored worker taken because of the labor
shortage created by the wars demands Will ungrateful
employers dismiss him forget his services when there
distressing need for his help? How can he hold
his present job?
These are some of the questions which will be dis
cussed at the meeting "Zion Church tomorrow after
by prominent experienced labor leaders, heads of
powerful labor organizations.

THE LESSON OF PHILADELPHIA

The cynosure of all eyes during the past few days has
been the so-caed City of Brothery Love- Philadelphia.
Eight black caused millions to walk production to
halt and hate to rise merely because dumb workmen
thought that these coored brothers could fill twenty
thousand vacancies in the labor market around
that city The strikers condemned every hand
The press outspoken in righteous denunciaon of the
methods employed to obstruct the effort Colored
citizens deported themselves WELL The c. l. O. should
begin Immediately program of organization in this
transportation system and avoid similar outbreaks The
F. E. P c. proved it's mete. Sufficient evidence shows
the need of permanent organization. The Mayor Of
New York recently sponsored broadcast and meeting
in the interest of the idea Other cities should follow suit
and lend to the committee that has been
created to bring the idea into reality To-day as we turn
toward Los Angeles where hearings have been
started to upgrade coored workmen in the transportation
system in that CITY, let hope that the job will be done
without sacrificing needIessly the lives of white and
black distant battlefields.

BOSTONS LOSS is
BROOKLYN'S GAIN!

To the Editor of The Guardian:
The members of Bethel 7th
Day Adventist Church, corner of
Grand ave and Leffert'S place,
were thrilled Sabbath, Aug. 5, by
the stirring sermon of their new
pastor, Rev. A. Wellington
Clarke, who has accepted the
passionate of this church. He is
no stranger to us, having been
well acquainted with number
of the members of this church
for years. They were also happy
to have a large number of
friends from the EpheSus 7th
Adventist Church of Harlem TO
join in the welcome.
Elder Clarke plans to move
his family into the commodious
pasonage adjoining the church

Recent Editorial
LESSON FROM PHILADELPHIA

1t would be hard to find in
the whole history Of American
labor strike in which so much
damage has been done for so
base a purpose as in the Phil
adelphia Rapid Transit walk
out. The fact that the damage
does not consist largely in des-
truction of property or injury to
persons is incidental. The loss
to war production can perhaps
be measured in man-hourS or in
dollars. But how can one meas
ure the spiritual and moral loss
Of this episode? How can one
weigh it's effect on soldiers and
sailors, who have learned that in
battle all men fighting for
good cause are brothers? How
can one make them understand
Just why certain number of
tanks or planes or guns or other
war necessities that might have
gone out of the port of Phil
adelphia will not do so? What
shall we say to colored fight
ing men? What shall we say to
the Chinese, the F'ilipinos, the
people of India and to others
whom we need as friends and
allies but whose skins are of
slightly different color from that
of most Americans?
All we can say, indeed, is that
the United States Government,
supported by the mass Of en-
lightened opinion in this coun-
try, will not tolerate racial dis
elimination in the matter Of
war jobs. The issue on which the
Philadelphia strikers went out
is, on their own showing, sim
pie one. They were determined
not to permit colored, however,
well qualified, to operate street
cars. Two or three generations
ago this attitude might have
been comprehensive. 1t is not
comprehensive in a modern
American city. To New Workers,
who've seen colored efficient
ly at work in our own rapid tran
sit service, it seems particularly
vicious.
The Army, the War Manpower
Commission and the Department
of Justice have sufficient auth
ority to deal with the situation,
and are using it effectively.
Whether or not a criminal con-
Spiracy existed will have to be
determined in court. Certainly
there was concerted action
against the public peace and in
terest and against common de-
cency. The matter ought not to
be allowed to rest with the re-
turn of strikers to their jobs and
grand jury proceedings, possibly
followed by trials, against the
leaders. 1t ought to lead to an
emphatic reaffirmation Of hui
man rights in this country. The
picture need not be confused.
