BY CHARLES wARTMAN

A picket line OF sympathizers pa
raded in front OF Stones Bar, Hast
ing at Hendre. Monday from one
until three, protesting the firing of
Walter Young. bartender The pick
ct line was Withdrawn at three
o'clock when representative from
the Union Progressive club and
Ford Local 600 reached an agree
ment with the proprietor. Mack
Goldman, in which the firing Of
Young was upheld.
The contention was that Young,
former baseball player with the
Michigan Giants had been fired aft
er seven years of service at the
Tasting Hondrie location. His
friends, not knowing the reason for
the dismissal, and feeling that his
discharge was not justified, asked
people in an orderly manner to
refrain from entering the place Of
business until the question could be
settled
Mack Goldman, the owner, in a
statement 10 the Chronicle said. Il
feel that ! have the right 10 fire
an employee when | can no longer
use him" He then went into con-
ference with Shirley Turner. 7400
M|roSe street, representative of
Ford Local 600 and Donald King,
secretary Of the United Progressive
club. 10 iron out the difficulties.

RAPS METHODS.
OF TREATMENT
ACCORDED RACE

Condemning the present set-up of
the American way OF life, DR.. John
Humphrey. professor at Wayne uni
versity and co-author OF the recent
book Race Riot" denounced the
caste system by saying that il is
irrational and immoral from a
scientific point of view, and that
biology doesn't give any facts sup
porting the theory that one individ-
ual is superior 10 another.
In an impressive lecture given
Sunday at the Tropical Gardens, on
the subject, The Negro and the
American Caste" he attacked the
way subordinate peoples are being
treated in this country. and gave
hope that in time all peoples would
be treated alike.
Origin or System
He highlightcd his lecture by say
Ing that the caste system originated
in this country with the fcudal
agriculture settlement. and persons
obtaining rank in the top economic
cal and social status and wanting
10 maintain this position OF power.
W hGNR AIllilSS Oil Il CdSlt
and classification basis, nothing has
been accomplished toward breaking
down the caste system. Continuing
he stated that racial groups have
been spurred TO develop animosity
among the lower peoples and TO
keep them from uniting IN any
common cause.
Pictures Rreakup
Eventually the country viii break
away from this system because II is
not IN accord with the industrial
development. The need for highly
trained men whether white or black
Will subsequently injure the sct-up
and vindicate all subordinate peo-
pies.
To stimulate the progress OF this
cvcntuallty we can launch an ef-
fcctivc militant role in the form OF
improved daily conduct, within the
realms OF education and BY seeking
the aid OF our lIbcral-minded White
ministers.
DR.. Humphrey has the utmost
confidence IN the belief that these
factors arc base in continuing the
perpetuatIoN OF the caste system.
