EDITORIAL COMMENT
BIRDs-BEAUTIFUL BUT DUMB

Last Sunday when l was walking from my
home to church a miles by the road some
birds were looking for nests. That was especial
ly true of the bluebirds, which examined holes
in trees and the mail and daily newspaper box
es along the way. I saw one make careful
inspection of box rather low down on pine
tree, where, to my knowledge two mother birds
have been yanked out and killed by a house
cat. Yet the birds persist in using the box.
I am told that for years that same thing
has happened Bluebirds seem to be fascinated
by cylindrical newspaper boxes, and nest in
them, and lose their little ones to cats and
mischievoIs children. My observation makes
me think that bluebirds, like some persons,
have more beauty than sense. HE. c. Bryant

Henry G. Richardson, 1924 Fifth
Ave. &c., Minneapolis, who died
Thursday, August 2, at Fairview
hospital, was buried Saturday,
August 4, at Lakewood cemetery.
Rev. A. F. Martin officiated at the

Mr.. Richardson, who had lived

Louisville, Kentucky. He had
mourned very deeply the death of
his wife, Minnie Richardson, who
died last March, and became seri-
ously i'll about two months ago.
Confined to the hospital several
weeks, he had received a number
of blood transfusions before his
death but his condition steadily
grew worse.
J. E. Jones, 1900 Portland, a
friend, had charge of funeral ar
rangements. There are no known
survivors.

now than it has ever been. From the
first, an attempt had been made to
buy Hammonds out.
Several of the petitioners are
alleged to have claimed to the COM
mittee during the hearing that if
Hammonds were permitted to oper-
ate a station in the community, a
race riot would be precipitated,
although he had already operated
for two weeks with only the most
pleasant relationship between him
self and his customers.
Signature Restored
After the Urban League was in
formed by Landy of the circum-
stances surrounding the case, Judge
Edward Waite, of the Urban
League Interracial committee, per-
sonally paid a visit to Alderman
Finseth, who apparently when in
formed of the true circumstances,
restored his signature to the license
application. Douglas Hall, chairman
of the Foundation for Democratic
Rights, also was advised of what
looked like an. impending miscar-
riage of justice, and he conferred
with Aldermen Cleve and Finseth.
Hall was present when the license
application was approved along
with several others at the July 27
meeting of the City Council.
Wednesday, Hammonds told the
Spokesman Recorder paper
Everything is going along fine out
here. Business is picking up and
the people really seem to appreciate
the station"
His brother, S. F. Hammonds,
assists him in the operation of the
Hiawatha Avenue station.
Parker Case Recalled
The Hammonds case is in direct
contrast to the case of James
Parker last August in which,
Parker, who had rented a bar and
restaurant location at 1909 4th
Avenue So, was stymied in his at
tempt to get license, by Alderman
Jens Christensen of the Fifth ward.
Secretary Wardlaw of the Urban
League stated this week that the
successful outcome of the Ham
monds affair fits in with the
Leagues postwar program to en-
courage Negroes to apply for
licenses to operate their own bust
nesses, and to use the machinery
of the organization to fight dis
elimination.

| on order for Welders to the RAIL-
road Retirement Board. Owens
went to the Retirement Board, got
his clearance, and headed with high
hopes for the offices of the Mil
waukee road.
When he put in his appearance
there few minutes later, he was
told the order for welders was
filled!
All Three Return
Puzzled by the "quick" change
in the situation, he returned to the
Retirement Board, got his state
ment of availability, and then ap-
pealed to the Minneapolis Urban
League for help. Executive secre-
tary James Wardlaw, and indus
trial secretary William Seabron,
who are old hands at "the badger
game" returned to the Retirement
Board with him.
Last week, an official OF the
Board had told Seabron, the dis
elimination came NOT from the
roads or the unions, but from the
employees.
At the Board, a call was put
through to the Milwaukee road to
find out whether or not the quota
for welders had been filled. The
reply was, the order was still open,
and so Owens returned to the Mil
waukee offices-where he was
bounced for the second time with
the excuse he could not be hired
because his job came under the
Boilermakers' Union which does not
accept Negroes.
Meanwhile, ex-seaman William
Owens is working in a junk yard

Hutchinson reported that when
General Johnson asked Ouchi if he

Fisk Dept. Head
Says Postwar Issues
Won't Bring Violence

The American Negro believes the
road to true freedom can be found
by using the established legal
method rather than by violence, ac-
cording to DR.. William Faulkner,
chairman of philosophy and re-
ligious education at Fisk Univer-
sity.
In a speech Tuesday before the
workshop on intercultural relations
being held at the University of
Minnesota, DIR. Faulkner said that
although when man is denied a
livelihood because of his color, he
builds up resentment within him
self, he personally didn't expect
any widespread outbreaks be-
tween whites and Negroes" al
though he thought there were
''bound to be sporadic disturbances
throughout the country"
Labor Doing More
Faulkner also said that labor is
doing more at present for the Ne
gro than the church is doing.
DR.. Faulkner, who is on a speak
ing tour that will take him to the
states of Wisconsin and New York,
was guest at the home of Mrs.
Gladys James, 500 Iglehart Avenue,
during his short stay here.

Milwaukee Railroad because the
Boilermakers' union bars Negroes. "
Owens, whose story Of being IN
able to get a job, made the raucous
"Get a Railroad Job" plea look both
inconsistent and ridiculous, came to
Minneapolis from Duluth where he
had tried to get a job on a Great
Lakes boat as a deck hand, but up
there he was told although his Mer-
chant Marine deck papers were in
order, he could not be hired be-
cause Negroes served only in the
steward department on the boats.
That, in spite of the fact he's a
member of the Maritime Union.
Had Made Two Trips
A resident of Des Moines, Iowa,
he had made two trips to Alaska
with the Merchant Marine, and
while awaiting a chance to ship
out third time, went to work as
a welder in the Puget Sound Yards
at Bremerton, Washington. He re-
ceived his welding training in a
National Youth Administration
welding school. Owens is a mem
Der of the International Welders'
Union, the Machinists' Union, and
Structural Iron Workers Union,
and claims at no time on his job did
he encounter any friction or I'M
pleasantness from white co-work-
ers. He's also been employed in
the dairy industries in Des Moines
as a pipe welder.
After his unfortunate experience
in Duluth, he came to Minneapolis.
His finances were running low and
he heard there was a demand for
skilled railroad workers here. Signs
and radio broadcasts emphasized
the urgent need for workers.
Arriving here he went to the
United States Employment Service
and was the first person referred
