Miss. Den1s Join
South;S ReuoH
Against FDR

Mississippi joined South Carolina
and Texas in their anti-New Deal
revolt June 7. when the ST c
Democratic convention voted to
send an uninstructed delegation 10
the national convention. Mississip-
PTS presidential electors chosen by
the convention will not vote for
the national party's nominees. UNI
less the Democratic party makes
concessions TO the Mississippi dele
cation according t. the antiNeW
Deal ultimatum of the party lead
ers in Jackson. Miss. The delegates
are not TO permit acceptance Of any
plank on racial or social equality;
or on Federal control Of voters
qualifications. including the poll
tax: and they are TO demand a
restoration OF the two-thirds rule
in national convention procedure
which would give the South veto
power in national nominations
again.
The state convention had been
highly organized by tory business
men and delta planters IN advance,
which gave surprising degree Of
unanimty 10 the illiberal proceed
ings. The race issue held the con-
vention members together, and
there was no revolt by New Deal
supporters as was true in Texas.

ten Yank asking for its ideas on
the race problem after the war.
They said the Negroes will think
they are equal 10 the whites be-
cause they have fought in this war.
and some white people will feel the
same way about il"
Yank replied that no man should
talk about giving" any American
that which he already has by in
alienable riqht. Yank cited figures
~ the number Of Negroes in the
army and navy and the number
overseas u pointed out that there
is a Negro general in the army. that
the navy recently named an airficld
after Nearo-Mhn- aaNe-hiS- life for
the service. then said:
"Yank believes it is folly 10 pro-
pose that Negroes be governed by
whites when Negroes in the army
and navy are Fl fighting for our coun-
try'S rights. when Negroes in our
state and national legislatures are
helping make our courtry's laws
and when there are NEGROES in our

Bishop Defends
Organized Labor
Dangerous To Develop Anti
Labor Attitude In Minds
Of Servicemen

Dallas, Tex. - The possibility that
men in the armed services may return
from the war inllamed against labor
was described as tragic" by Bishop
G.. Rromey OMAN of Boston, in "A
forum conducted at Southern Metho-
dist University. The Bishops defense
of organized labor was i'm answer to Il
lectures he was delivering here on the
Fondren Foundation on the subject :
Labor in Tomorrow'S World
Asked what he thought of strikes i'm
wartime, Bishop OXnam replied, la
Dor should have kept its pledge TO the
letter. There should have been no
strikes during the war. My sons are in
the service. 1t is most unfortunate,
however, that the soldiers and sailors
have not been able to get n full picture
Of the situation.
Labor in overwhelming percentage
has kept its pledge. Strikes have re-
duccd production less than " of 1%.
The miners did have Il case. The mine
owners refused to make adjustment.
The responsibility rests both upon the
owners and the miners. There ought
never To have been Il strike but to put
the whole blame upon labor for its ac-
tion and none on the minc-OwnerShip
for its refusal to act is unfair.
1T is particularly dangerous to de-
vclop an anti-labor attitude i'm the
minds of our soldiers and sailors. our
very future lies in the ability of man
agpment and Labor to work together
through the extension of the demo
cratic principl" To industry.
We have trained our youth for war.
They have become expert in the use
of weapons. 1t would be tragic if they
We're to return inilamed against labor
and without knowledge of the fact that
labor has given itself patriotically to
full production in its pledge to win the
war.
"'rhe seeds of class war lie in mis-
informing our armed forces, and those
responsible for sowing them do the
nation II terrible diS-Scryicc.'

Do You Know?

That the cost of living can be held
in check only if the OPA price, rent
and rationing regulations are effective
ly enforced.
That the OPA is greatly handi-
capped by an inadequate enforcement
staff - less than one enforcement in
veStigator for each county in the
United States.
That even where violations are
spotted and prosecutions begun, it may
be months before the case comes up for
hearing and final action because most
violations of OPA regulations must be
tried before our already overburdened
Federal Courts.
That many of OpA Labor Advisory
Committees have helped to remedy this
situation by going before City Councils
with the proposal that they pass a city
ordinance which would help solve
OPA'S enforcement problems
That such ordinances have been
passed i'm many American cities-in-
Guiding Cleveland and Lakewood, Ohio :;
Detroit, Hamtramck and Royal Oak,
Michigan; NJ i Wa ukee, Wisconsin {;
Sioux City, Iowa: AShbury Park, New
Brunswick and Trenton, New Jersey ::
Charleston and Columbia, South Caro-
lima Gadsden, Alabama; and Mt
Sterling, Illinois. ~
That although these city ordinances
vary in scope from city to city, their
aim is to impose local penalties for the
violation of OPA price, rent and IA
tioning regulations.
That the principle advantages OF
such ordinances are that l) they fur
niSh The additional enforcement man
power of local enforcement authorities
To help uncover black market activities
and GU they speed prosecution of vio-
lalors by giving municipal courts juris-
diction over the cases.
That Il person recently charged with
violating the ordinance passed by the
City Of Cleveland Heights, Ohio con
tended, on hearing, that the Ordinance
WAS invalid since the City Council had
no authority To enact ii.
That Judge David j. Miller of the
Cleveland Heights Police Court found
the defendant guilty aS charged and
in support his decision, said, ''rhe law
seems 10 be we'll established that prices
can be controlled and fixed . by the
Council of the 'ity;" and further that
ii is not in conflict with Federal law,
but rather in aid of the Congressional
enactment, is Il proper exercise of the
Legislative authority by the Council"
Thai YOU can Get copy of Il model
city ordinance If YOU will write To me
in care of the OpA in Washington.
