OF THE WEEK

"In this headchopping business
(Which is the only business poll
ticians understand) Negro voters
should join hands with the power
full labor groups which already
have defeated Joe Starnes and
scared Dies into a hospital and pri-
vate life. Roy Wilkins.
"No race can advance when the
leadership is not strong and virile
enough not to wallow in the mud of
those who are trapped in the
grooves of ignorance, superstition
and sin. Joseph d. Bib.
q. the tragedy inherent in
racial discrimination was made
more vivid to me recently when
one of our topfight band leaders
and composers told me that his
band is not being engaged for ap-
pearances at theaters in many
Northern cities because managers
wish to avoid the patronage and
concomitant hoodlumism of Negro
youth. Marjorie Mckenzie.
"The :. white press, the movies
and the radio give neither dignified
nor proportionate representation to
Negro or colored life or interracial
activities. In fact, they tend to
virtually conceal the existence of
our 10 million colored population
by rarely depicting their lives in
any rounded sense" Ted lie Berth
on.
"In spite Of poll tax reversal,
white supremacy is taking a beat
ing at the polls, and wait until
the soldiers get back."-CharIey
Cherokee.

cation are then able to go there
for a nights lodging and a good
hot meal.
Fortunately, the feeling among
many Negroes for their union
transcends their feeling for prac-
tically everything else. These peO-
pie know first hand in most in
stances Just what their union lead
ers had to go through to win decent
wages, working hours and cOndi-
tiOns, and civic equality for them.
For example Herbert March,
youthful director of District 1,
clearinghouse Workers Union, was
shot and seriously wounded, while
leading the fight to organize the
clearinghouse workers in Chicago a
few years ago. Many Negro organ
izers were seriously beaten, too.
Therefore, when these union lead
ers finally won their victory over
the packers, the color of their skins
didn't count. They had been
through hell and high water to-
gether and knew that the best in
terests of all workers, regardless
of color, depended solely on unity.
SOME UNIONS GUILTY
Of course, many unions are them
selves guilty of racial hate, dis
elimination and segregation, par
ticularly the hidebound, mothe-
eaten, reactionary A F of L unions.
Some of these outfits are about as
democratic as a Nazi bund. They do
all kinds of harm to union progress,
racial amity and democracy. They
are selfishly led and are a part of
the U. S. scene that could we'll be
renovated.
The existence of these undemo-
cratic A F of L unions, however,
makes it all the more important
that the progressive CLIO organiza-
tons receive the support of Ameri-
cans interested in seeing fair play
for the workingman and also racial
democracy. Some CLIO unions have
demonstrated that what is needed
to do away with racial segregation
and discrimination is action. And
they really know how to act. Let
US hope that the CLIO continues its
fight for civic as well as economic
justice within and outside of its
locals. The fact that it does so is
a healthy sign, particularly at this
time.

And like fool, l believed this.
Last night from a shell hole, I saw

l figured right then they had told

Had / taken time to see what you
made,
I'd have known they weren't calling

I wonder, God, if you'd shake my

Somehow, l feel that you will under

Funny had to come to this hellish

Before l had time to see your face.
Well, CUES there isn't much more

But I'm sure glad, God, I met you

Who knows, may come to your

Look, I'm crying! Me! Shedding
