cause 1t is the fOundatlOnal, economic source of supply
for the home and its happiness. The protectors for
these interests are the lawmakers of the states and
the nation. Selecting and placing these law makers
is solely the province as well as the duty Of the intel
IEgent and unbiased voter.
In a rally at the headquarters of John Adams,
the only colored candidate seeking a seat in the State
Senate, his advisory committee was complimented
for introducing the line on his campaign card, phras-
ed, can Appeal to the Voters" That is exactly what
his entire campaign has been,-an appeal to the vot-
ers Of the 9Th Legislative District for their support.
This he requests regardless of race or political creed.
The voting public must bear in mind that John Adams
is a non-partisan candidate, and as such he seeks the
support of well wishers of all political parties.
Certainly the preparation Mr.. Adams po-
|~ssesses, his experience in handling people and their
causes, his reputation from sound judgment, his
long experiences in law practice and public rela-
Itions, qualify him for legislative duties, and should
command him as an opportune servant for every
well wishing citizen. He has unqualifiedly mani
tested untiring interest in the progress of his com
munity and the welfare Of all its citizens. Mr.. Adj
ANS family include three sons, all graduates of the
University of Nebraska. His wife, Mrs. Hattie E..
Adams, is well known in religious, civic and social
circles.
Let's go to the polls and vote early. We have
a providential opportunity to keep a representative
from our group in the legislature. This is where
we need a vioce. AS a race, we should join our white
friends in an about effort to elect John Adams to a
seat in the Nebraska State Senate.

harangues over the failure Of
white America to give Negroes
their economic rights"
Future Looks Gloomy
At the two-day conference on
"The Post War Industrial Out
look for Negroes" recently held
at Howard University under the
joint auspices of the Division Of
Social Science of the Howard Uni
verisity Graduate School and the
A. Philip Randolph Fund, a
thread of gloom ran through the
discussions" according to Negro
White House correspondent for
the National Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association, Harry Nc
Alpin: almost without exception,
speaker after speaker pointed out
the problems Negroes would face
that would be almost insurmount-
able unless we have full employ
ment. There was fairly general
agreement that a permanent FEE
PC will be needed to help over
come these obstacles"
The conference took up the CON
sideration of problems in the ship
building, aircraft, automobile, rail-
road and steel industries. Other
talks were held on Federal policies
prohibiting racial discrimination in
industry and the labor and fiscal
policies of the Federal government.
Lieut.. Col. John K. Collins, Of the
Bureau Of Placement of the War
Manpower Commission, gave the
tipoff on the whole postwar situa-
ton, when he declared:
Worker in Temporary Status
"About rs per cent of the work
ing Negroes in war industries are
in temporary, emergency, mush-
DON industries such as shipbuild-
ing, aircraft manufacture, NUM-
tons, etc. Two-thirds of these Ne

of new workers, and went on to
say that trade unions and the con
slant education of the people would
be the logical program to be car
ried out.
The Negro CT, nearly everyone
agrees, should be the first among
his race to enjoy immediate and
full employment benefits without
resort to dole or temporary relief.
Some will return to jobs they had
before they entered the service.
Other thousands will return to an
unemployed status unless some
thing is done to provide for them.
These men have undergone a pro-
found change, both in habit and
in ability. Army and Navy train
ing has given them new skills;
made many of them specialists in
highly complicated crafts and
trades. If a dishwasher before
Pearl Harbor, the Negro CT who
has learned to be an expert cleo
trician or radio technician isn't
going to be content with another
dishwashing job upon his discharge
from the armed forces. He has
been told he was fighting for a
better world in which to live. He
will feel that the price he paid
and that paid by his buddies has
been more than enough to guaran-
tee him economic security at home.
He won't feel at all good about It
when he starts evaluating the eff
forts put forth by those he has
been told are his leaders and finds
that much, if not most of such
efforts, have been selfish, conflict
ing, and inadequate to service his
needs.
Other Lines Also Included
The situation in the shipbulldlng,
aircraft, automobile, railroad and
steel industries as regards the Ne
gro can be applied with slight
variation to other lines of work
The temporary status Of the Negro

exist in the building trades, IN

gro workers have acquired skilled
and semi-skilled ratings and pay.
Yet, it is precisely this group
which will, as contract art 1On-
cluded, ard as cut-backs are made,
be dumped on a labor market in
which it has been difficult for one
third of the working Negro popu-
Iation to secure other than unskilled
and mental jobs"
Michael Ross, Washington rep
r~esentative of the Industrial. Union
of Marine and Shipbuilding Work
ers Of America (CIO) warned the
conference that the shipbuilding in
dustry in the postwar period will
face a sharp contraction, bringing
with it substantial reduction in pay
rolls. He thought that reductions
among Negroes r going to be
heavy due largely to "strict appli-
cation of seniority rules and vet
erans' unemployment provisions"
He declared: "The problem Of the
Negro here is part of the total
problem of reconversion of ship
building workers. A large part of
the hope for fairer treatment in
the economic field resides in such
a simple question as the obtaining
of the right to vote"
The Office of War Information
last May said that wartime employ
ment of Negro shipyard workers,
has increased more than 15-fold
since 1910. In 1914 there were
nearly $4,000 Negroes in the in
dustry.

interest to the point where a big
chain store has been created to pro-
vide jobs for the Negroes. 1t hasn't
produced a bigtime Negro-financed
project with the resulting provis-
ion of work for hundred Of job
needy Negroes. 1t hasn't dreamed
up the manufacturing concern that
would produce work and at the
same time serve a widespread need.
1t hasn't done anything to develop
an antipathy among the Negro
masses to throwing away their
hard-earned money for questionable
pleasures. All it has produced, the
Negro CT will complain, is con-
fusion and lack.
The emphasis has been on civil
rights. In that respect, the word
age expounded by home front
Negro leaders has been Of merit.
In this connection, much has been
achieved. Barriers have been brok-
en- down that formerly existed as a
constant source Of friction and ir-
ritation to both races, divided by
color bars and socially conflicting
viewpoints. 1t is true that home
front Negro leadership will be able
to offer to the returning Negro CT
the unhampered right to eat in
this restaurant, stop at that hotel,
belong to this unicn, and to that
organization. But it is not in a
position to offer him employment.
Instead, the idea is to place that
responsibility Of tin the lap
of the white man. And in placing
it in the lap of the white man, the
