the fascist measure that the Merchants and

great cost, put on the November ballot
The California bill would xiii Unions and put
all working people back so years 1t is the very
essence Of Htlorism.
How can we help best to defeat this bill
That's simple All OF us have friends in Cali
fornia. Many are not connected with the labor
movement We can write to these friends and ask
them to vote against initiative - We can tel
them that any bill to smash labor unions is
vicious.
After aE we have a stake in that election. If
the California fascists put over their measure, We
will have it to face within the next two years

Of war news about Negro units

Roberts, former assistant PRO

major, now chief of the Negro

has been sent overseas after the
urging of the Negro press for
more consequential facts regard
ing the part played by Negro
troops in the winning of the war.

dead of the three hundred and
fifty victims of the Port Chicago
explosion were Negro Naval per-
sonnel, special release from the
Negro press reveals, in describing
this greatest home front tragedy
of the war. 1t was disclosed that
from seven to eight hundred
Negroes were stationed at the
base, which was razed by the ex-
plcsiOn of two ammunition ships
last week. Aside from the dead,
hundreds of Negro personnel were
critically injured in the blasts.
The following statement re-
garding the tragedy was issued
by. Rear Admiral Carleton H.
Wright, commandant of the 18th
Naval District, San Francisco:
The Navy personnel and civilian
war workers who perished in the
Port Chicago Navy Ammunition
Depot explosion near San Fran
cisco on July II, 1914, gave their
lives in the service of their coun-
try Their sacrifice could not have
been greater had their loss oc-
Cured on a battle ship or a
beachhead on the war fronts.
Their conduct was in keeping with
the highest tradition of the U. S..
Naval service"
Thus the high example of sac
rifice which motivated the first
man to die in defense of his
country, black Crispus Attucks,
has again been followed by Ne
groes at Port Chicago.
The Navy accepted its first
Negro medical officer on July 19,
when DIR. A. L. Thompson, of De-

rank of lieutenant j.g.). 1t.
