F. B. |. ACTION
IN PIC STRIKE

New York-After a two-day per-
sonal investigation Of Transpor-
tation strike hostilities in Phila-
delphia, Assistant NAACP sec
retary, Roy Wilkins, wired Attor-
ney General Francis Biddle: 81
wish to urge strongly that the
Department of Justice through the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
make a special examination into
the activities of James McMena-
min, Don Lasher and Frank P.
Carney, who are leaders of the So
called committee representing the
strikers. Statements attributed to
Carney by Philadelphia papers of
August 1st and End seem to be
clearly incitement to riot. Rumor
has it that Carney and Lasher
were either given or took much
time off from work during past
three weeks devoting their efforts
to fomenting racial hatred and
stirring up employees to paralyze
Philadelphia with the surprise
stoppage. Statements attributed
to McMenamin in the New York
Herald Tribune of August 3rd
come within the category of in
citement to riot. Carney and Nc
Menamin have preached open de-
fiance of federal government as
well as vilest and lowest forms of
racial hatred. My personal OBJ
servation among Negro population
of Philadelphia for SO hours in
forms me that the statements of
these strike leaders have done more
to embitter Negro population and
lay basis for serious clashes than
any other aspect of tie-up. Pormpt |
and effective action by FBI is
urged"

THE FUTURE"
By Myrtle NJ. Goodlow

When the war is over
Our pathway will not be clover
Times viii not be prosperous
And the going will be tough for
us
And some employers won't forget
The unfair treatment from their
help
At the time they needed them most
And were ever ready to boast
Jobs were waiting everywhere
Just fire them-they wouldn't care
And walk out then and there
It's shame and disgrace
The way some of our race
Fail to make time day after day
And come in late wearing a big
broad grin
Often smelling of whiskey or gin
And expect a warm welcome
When their work is waiting to be
done
While others the whole work day

majority, plus a realization by the
majority that minorities not only
have rights, too, but are entitled
to equal consideration and can
not be trammelled or imposed upon.
Rights which we demand for our
selves we must grant to others.
That is why free speech and free
dom of religion are basic to our
American democracy.
"Only freedom which is under
strong law, only strong law to
which men consent because it pre-
serves freedom, can endure" Wal
ter Lippmann wrote recently. 1t
is up to each of US who desire free
dom, who believe in democracy
who want to preserve our Amer
lean way of life, to obey our owr
laws-whether or not we like then
and to accord the same privileges
to others. That is the democratic
way. That is the way to successful
freedom.

History has proven this again
and again. The Roman Empire
was great as long as it was COM
posed of disciplined free men. To
be Roman citizen then meant to
be a free man all over the known
world. The Romans conquered not
merely by force of arms, but by
force of concerted, intelligent ac-
ton. But when liberty degenerated
into license, they fell a prey to
the barbaric Germanic invaders.
As the historian, James Truslow
Adams, wrote: Without a vision
men shall die. 1t is no less true
that without hard practical sense,
they shall also die" This has been
the secret back of our country's
greatness. America started from
a vision of freedom for all man.
kind, but it was backed up by laws
that insured the keeping of that
freedom. Freedom alone is not
enough. Nor will arbitrary laws
suffice. But freedom, backed by
laws, conceived and legislated by
those to whom they must apply, is
invincible.
We cannot safeguard the free
dom that is democracy by undemo-
cratic means. Democracy, the rule
of the majority, implies an acqui-
escence to self-government, a will

NEGROES MOVE INTO
FAMED Sind STREET
AS OWNERS OF
NIGHTCLUB;
WHITES ATTEND

New YoHk = Blase Broadway
awakened the other day to find
that Negroes had moved into famed
52nd Street, swing alley Of Jazz
music, in the heart Of the Cav
White Way. And the Negroes
that moved in weren't musicians
nor entertainers working in one
of the countless bistros, cabarets,
nightclubs, cocktail lounges and
whatnot that line the thorough
fare from Seventh Avenue clear
over to Fifth.
Instead, the Negroes moved in
strictly on their own in the own
ership class. This unheralded,
though unprecedented venture of
Negroes operating a business in
direct competition with whites and
on the same scale is what has
Broadway talking. While there
are some die-hards among the con-
versationalists who figure the
world is going to come to an end
or some other dire thing come to
pass because Negroes are waking
up to the opportunities around
them, the prevailing opinion is
favorable to Tondelaya, one time
famous dancer, who has opened
her own night club, the Club Ton
delayos on the site of the national
ly known Club 18.

Club Will Follow Pattern


John Levy, former Chicagoan
and a noted sportsman, is owner
of the club. He is the husband of
Tondelaya, who in real life is the
former Whilhelmina Gray who
was the female half Of the great
exotic dance team of Tondelaya
and Lopez. Levy told me the other
night that his club will follow the
established pattern of competing
clubs and cabarets in Sind Street.
Said he: eve will cater to an
interracial clientele. Anyone not
liking our policy is definitely ask
ed to stay away. Another feature
and somewhat departure from
the usual standard-we want the
women of Harlem to know that
here is one place where they can
stop during their downtown tours
and have lunch or dinner. We
open at noon and remain open un-
til 4 a. m. Our reputation is be-
ing built on the good food we serve
yep, the drinks will be okay, too"
The club itself is a dream, ac-
tually dream. No club in the
block comes near it for. decorative
splendor. Subtle and in extreme
good taste are the dark wine COL
ored leather seats neatly tucked
beneath amber colored walls.
Chairs are done in egg shell
leather. There is an expansive
burgundy rug covering the entire
floor. The bar, located at the
front, has an awning of brightly
colored canvas. Colored murals
are hung on the walls and the
place is air-conditioned through
out.
Club Tondeloyas features a
