and the Federal Council of Churches
and social agencies, at the Y. W. C.
A., SO Washington st., Newark, Ok
ley said:
"You speak here smugly and
complacently as if this area itself
were Utopia. You think that be-
cause Negroes from the Negro
branch of the Y. M. C. A. compete
with white teams in games that all
is well.
''!But 1 know, after six months of
experience here as a War Man
power Commission member, the
difficult time we've had to make
Americans in this community ac-
cept the skills of the black people"
Oxley said that at the height of
the manpower shortage it took him
six months to place 600 skilled
Negro women workers in a plant in
the Newark area producing vital
war material.
Oxley said the church was doing
nothing now to "instill a sense of
personal and community response
bility in the congregations" and
that nothing could be done unless
the community realized its respon-
sibility.
"The day after a lynching," he
said, "the best people gather round
in the town and say it will never
happen again. Don't you think it's
wiser to make sure that it will
never happen-at all?"
Oxley said Negroes in war plants
have no seniority and that they
would be fired in the first industrial
cutbacks. He emphasized that
skilled Negroes would be returning
from fighting in the Pacific and in
Europe to Communities where it
has been impossible for a Negro,
skilled or no, to get anything but
a mental job"
Earlier Charles M. Campbell, ac-
tivity secretary of the Negro Y. M.
c. A. in Newark, said there could
be no understanding among the diff
ferent racial and religious groups
in America until there was "real
indignation in the community"

Houston Attacks
r. R.-UniOn Job
Pact Before Court

Washington, Nov. 10 Tom
Tunstall and Bester William
Steele, Negro locomotive firemen
on two southern railroads, appeared
through counsel today and argued
that, while the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men represented all the firemen on
the two systems as exclusive bar
gaining agents, it barred Negroes
and even made agreements with the
carriers that resulted in demotion
and unemployment for Negro fire.
men.
Supporting this plea, the Fed
eral Government, through Charles
Fahy, Solicitor General, and Rob-
ert L. Stern, special assistant to
the Attorney General and the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, in
tervened as friends of the court"
In joint brief, Mr.. Fahy and Mr..
Stern argued that, since the un-
ion excluded Negroes from men,
bership, it was obviously not act
ing in good faith as the represen-
tative of the entire craft"
The two fremen requested a
declaratory judgment that the I'M
ion represent all employees fairly,
that an injunction be issued against
enforcement of the union agree
ment with the carriers and that the
petitioners be restored to their
positions.
Charles H. Houston, attorney for
the two firemen, maintained that
under the principle of majority rule
the majority could not use the Gov
eminent to exploit the minority.
However, he said, the union, act
ing for the entire class or craft of
firemen under the provisions of the
Railway Labor Act, had, on Feb.
%, 1941, made an agreement with
a group of Southern roads that not
more than so per cent of the fire
men in any seniority district should
be "non-promotable."
Negroes, he added, were desig-
mated as ''non-promotable" and
this meant that the places of the
Negro fremen despite long senior
ity, would be taken by white fire.
men of lesser seniority.
According to Mr.. Houston, if a
Negro fireman tried to bring a case
of discrimination before the adjust
ment board he would have to ap-
pear before body composed part
ly of employers and partly of un-
ions which bar Negroes.
Therefore, he told the court, I'M
less the fremen could go to the
courts for relief they had been
placed in economic servitude" by
Congress, which passed the Rail-
way Labor Act.
The justices expressed a lively
interest in the case and asked the
attorneys many questions.
In reply to one question, Mr..
Houston said that the issue was
broader than race and that if the
union could bar Negroes today it
could "bar Catholics, Jews and six
feet men tomorrow"
Harold o. Heiss, counsel for the
brotherhood, asserted that Con-
gress did not legislate on the re-
lation of employee and their rep
resentatives under the Railway La
Dor Act and therefore, the courts
could not so legislate.
"Can promotable men be black"
asked Justice Frankfurter.
mot on the railroads of the
United States" replied Mr.. Heiss.
THAT is the policy of the roads.
We have nothing to do with it."
"Then the idea of the non-pro-
notable men is based on races?"
asked Justice Murphy.
That's railroad policy" the
brotherhood attorney answered.

al PCOpiC'
But Smiths reelection was not
so important as the statistics which
came to light as result of the cleo
ton. A survey has shown that in
Fairfax County, Virginia, alone,
which was only part of the Con-
gressional district involved, there
are 5000 Negroes. Of this number
1000 are eligible voters-that is,
they are of voting age and have the
required legal residence in the
county.
Only 461 of these 1000 eligible
Negro voters qualified to vote by
paying their poll taxes and regis
tering.
Virginia is not "poor" state as
compared to some other of the
Southern bloc. The $1.50 poll tax,
while representing a sacrifice to
many, and certainly an unjust trib-
ute for the right to exercise the
franchise, was not prohibitive to
the majority of the 1000 eligible
voters in Fairfax county.
Virginia has no white primary"
Qualified voters may exercise their
franchise in both the primaries and
the general election.
Still, $500 Negroes in a single
county, failed to take advantage of
the highest privilege and duty of
citizenship. That is indicative of
the job Negroes have on their
hands even after they win the fight
against poll taxes, white primaries,
grandfather clauses, and just plain
intimidation at the polls.
That the job can be done has been
demonstrated by the CIO-Political
Action Committee. Millions of
people were stirred to political &C
ton by the organized campaign of
the PAC. But the PAC machinery
is geared to operate primarily in
industrial centers. The masses of
Negroes, in the South particularly,
are still rural people.
Some means of educating them
to the duties and responsibilities
of citizenship must be found and
used. One way is the radio-but
until we realize how potent an in
strumentaIity we are neglecting,
and actually get into the radio field,
we must use such means as are
now available.
The greatest medium now at our
fngertips is the church. Regret
tably, however, most of our church
es, particularly those in rural COM
munities-and all but few of
those in urban centers-are busy
telling the people how to die rather
than how to live.
Our preachers, because of the re-
ligious tenor of the Negro, are in
a peculiar position of leadership.
But no group-ahd realize there
are, and I give credit to individual
shoulders such a grave
responsibility with less grace than
the clergy. I can see no religious
fault with varying the Sermon on
the Mount, now and then, with a
sermon on the ballot, on good citi-
zenship, on public conduct, on the
dignity of work, and on the aboli-
ton OF fear-fear of going before
a white face in the county court
house and exercising the privilege
of registering in order to be eligible
TO use the right to vote.
But how do we educate our
preachers?
