Same Tasks
Are Ahead!

Editorial in Pittsburgh Courier)
-. whether the victory be won
by Republican or Democrat, Dewey
or Roosevelt, the American Negro
will find himself challenged to con-
tinue the same old struggle for rec
ognition and treatment as a first
class American citizen.
On this one point, all Negroes,
Republicans and Democrats, sup
porters of Dewey and supporters of
Roosevelt, can agree. For this COM
mon objective all Negroes are, and
must be, united.
The campaign just ended has
been a spirited contest between
divergent bodies of opinion largely
composed of the dominant group in
the United States. We, as Ameri-
cans and as Negroes, took part in
this contest as good citizens and, in
taking sides, followed the dictates
of our best Judgment.
But the chief issues in the cam
paign, both foreign and domestic,
were not designed by or for Ne
groes.
They were not issues which
should create division in the ranks
of Negroes, either in the leader
ship or the fellowship.
Shoulder to shoulder we must
continue our fight.

BY DAN GARDNER

Now that the national cleo
ton is over, we ought to start
trying to elect ourselves
somewhere, and by that I
mean we Negroes must by
the sheer weight of our po-
litical Importance, as shown in the
presidential election and by our po-
sition as the No. 1, and the largest
minority group in America, start
taking that which is actually ours
but which we have been restrained
from taking because of an inherent
gear of what might happen to US
if we did.
Events and situations establish
the fact that the Negro is the No. l
problem in America. And the world
picture is the same-the color prob
lem is the most vexing facing the
white world today, Hitler to the con-
trary. To make manifest our actual
Importance to the American social
and economic structure is the task
at which many efforts have been
made, but upon which few have had
any lasting effect. Our principal
job is to stop the white man from
calling US "boy" and force him to
regard US as men and women, cap
able, competent, intelligent and
powerful enough in our minority
status to make his problem that
much harder if he refuses to play
part of the game on our terms.
Labor Unions Seek Us Out
Our economic status is seen in the
efforts being made by labor unions
to organize US. Negroes, through
sound, far-seeing leadership, can be
made the backbone of the labor
movement in this country, as much
so as were the Irish rs years and
more ago; the Italians, the Poles,
and the other migrant middle Euro
pean racial stocks. But in maneu-
vering the Negro workers into posi-
ton where his labor is in demand,
the mistake must be avoided in SELL
ing him too cheaply or allowing him
to be used as trike-breaking pos
sibility as has been done in the past.
Political Power Stressed
1t might be said here that to undo
or disengage the Negro from his
role in the political fabric of the
nation would take centuries. Those
places in which he votes freely, as
ne did last November 7th, prove
clearly the actual power he ex-
ercises and the actual respect he
enjoys in the eyes of the white man
If this were not so, little campaign
money would have been spent
among Negroes in largely popu-
lated areas in our mightiest cities
The fair-mindedness of liberal
white men who have a conscience
and who, no doubt, feel the awful
burden of guilt bequeathed them by
slave-selling ancestors, probably
prompts the consistent effort on
their part to force into the open
such issues as the infamous Texas
White Primary.

Next Problem of the Negro

We must fight together against
all forms of non-voluntary segrega-
ton.
We must fight together for jobs,
to create in the United States a
public attitude which will not deny
any qualified man a job because of
the color of his skin.
We must fight together for the
same educational opportunities
open to other Americans in all Sec
lions of the country.
We must fight together against
discriminatory restrictions in trav-
ell.
We must fight together for all
civil rights enjoyed by all other
Americans.
We must fight together against
the daily humiliations and insults
to which Negroes, because of their
color, are subjected.
We must fight together to be fed
when hungered, to be clothed when
naked, to be sheltered when without
roofs to cover our heads.
We must fight together against
being strange, against being stared
at, against being unwanted.
We must fight together for &C
ceptance and good standing in the
common fellowship and citizen
ship of America.
To these ends we must fight to-
gether for the victory over our
enemies abroad. over our enemies
at home and over ourselves.
No matter how the election
comes out, no matter who wins, no
matter how we were divided as to
party, we must all be united in the
above struggle. Let US close our
ranks and carry on.

Taking Our
Money
nv Jos. ID. Rihh

1t is a sin and a shame how
so many cold-blooded, cheat
ing and thieving operators
are thriving in colored COM
munities. Overcharges, short
weights and measures and
short-changing are VIGOROUSLY the
prevailing practices in our dis
tricts. It is needless to state that
white people are the chief male
factors who are perpetrating these
mean and dirty methods of dealing
with trusting, gullible and foolish
colored people. These sordid para
sites, who exploit US, are doing so
with reckless abandon. Some get
insultingly belligerent when they
are caught and accosted, others at
tempt to make a joke out of it and
laugh it off, and there are still
others who tell US to "take it or
leave it."
Now that the election is over.
Economic Action Committees"
should be created and established
in every colored community to call
halt to the systematic robbery
of our people. Millions of dollars
are pilfered from us every day, In
ferior food stuffs, the refuse from
the wholesalers, are palmed off in
our ghettoes. Our districts are the
dumping grounds for the third
grade merchandise that dealers
would not dare display in respect
able white areas. Rotten, putrefv
ing meats are doctored up with
chemicals and foisted on us, there
by endangering the health of our
families and the prices are still sky
rocketing as black markets flour
ish. "And that is why it is time for
a change"
Need Action to Correct Conditions
Housewives leagues have been
established in a few Northern
cities and feeble efforts have been
made to get square deal for col
ored customers, but there has been
no concerted, well organized, intel
igent move made to correct these
evils.
1t was proved by the recent DO
litical campaign that precincts can
be organized and voters aroused
This being true, the buyers and pro-
viders of our race can be likewise
aroused into action, if diligence and
intensity of purpose are preached
and championed. There never was
a time when colored people were
more rudely and brazenly robbed

All Party Roosevelt
Club Thanks Public

November 8, 1914
Editor: The Negro All-Party
Club for Roosevelt shares with the
All-Party Clubs of the State, the
heartening news that Franklin
Delano Roosevelt has been reflect
ed. The Club has had faith in the
people that they would re-elect the
war-weary President who "has gov
erned with his head and sometimes
with his heart"
The Club has been treasured that
the progressive forces of the ma
ton and of Minnesota can unite and
bring victory for their candidates
The potentialities for a speedy con-
clusion of the war and an endur-
ing peace are greater now than dur
ing the foggy days of the cam
paign.
Our Club is indebted to the ALL
Party Clubs of the State for their
financial help and cooperative en-
deavors; to the Spokesman Record
er newspapers for their effective
advertising counsel and to the
faithful workers in st. Paul and
Minneapolis who helped in numer-
GUS ways to awaken the people to
the basic issues and the truth of
our position.
The chairman is certain that we
must launch forward by keeping
alert to the issues before Congress,
the State Legislature, and the City
Councils; and by working for pro-
gressive, efficient candidates in all
offices of our city, state and ma
tional governments.

and cheated than now. The war is
giving the chiselers and grafters a
cloak to hide Under. How many
crimes are being committed under
the sham and disguise Of patriot
ism? Maybe Lenin had these mis-
cradle souls in mind when he de-
clared Patriotism is the last refuge
of a scoundrel." The scoundrels
are now going to town, and some of
the schemes and devices used are
shocking and disgusting.
Caught Red-Handed
Butchers in many colored COM
munities place their hands on the
scales and press down when they
weigh our meat. Another trick is
to have a piece of string attached to
the scales and they pull it when
commodities are weighed. Cheating
on making change is common
thing. It is the accepted practice to
gouge pennies from little children
and say that it is the tax. When a
tradesman is caught short-chang-
ing colored people, he has been
known to make a joke of the affair
and laughingly remark, '"Yeu
caught me that time"
A short while ago this writer was
charged nine cents for a Coca-Cola
in a white drug store located in the
throbbing heart of the colored COM
munity of Chicago. When asked
why the excessive charge, the man
ager, at the top of his voice yelled
out that he had paid as high as 20
cents for a coke and that the Office
of Price Administration had not set
any ceiling on soft drinks. When
l yelled louder than he that he had
been robbing his colored trade too
damn long and he ought to be run
out of the district, then he began
to back-track, especially so, when a
dozen or so colored people in the
store joined in with me in the COM
plant. Why! Of all the nerve of
these crooks in our districts!
Nothing Being Done to Check
Conditions
Those who traffic in liquor, wine
and beer have ruthlessly set an all
time high in prices in our districts.
Nowhere else in America are such
outrages and outlandish prices paid.
And here we must observe that
colored bar-rooms are trying to
out-do the whites. Thus the districts
are constantly and continually
poverty stricken. Such exploitation
draws out the best of our life blood.
These miserable conditions shock
the sensitiveness of wide awake
people, but as yet nothing has been
done to halt or check them. Maybe
the politicians who have been ia
vored with our votes will now head
up drives to force these despicable
practices to cover.
