"You colored Americans"
challenged Mr.. Stevens, Say

that is holy, prove it by prac-.
tical demonstration Of your will
to go forth carrying on his I'M

and give your all, even If it
means to die, for equality and
justice. Surely you are no bet
ter to make the supreme sacri-
fee than was he, for a cause
that may some day set you

To a huShed audience that
filled the auditorium, Mr.. Stew
ems said: "Mr. Roosevelt would
want you to hold this meeting
today, for this is a gathering
to proclaim to America that we
of the colored race demand that
our women shall be protected
in their daily lives, from the
insults to themselves and their
property by the white scum Of
America, and thereby shall en-
Joy under the Constitution the
rights to life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness"
The speaker called September
3, 1914, when Mrs. Taylor was
raped by a group Of white hood
lums a day Of American infamy. |
He charged that hatred and vio-
lence against colored Americans
may have its beginning in the
South, but within a short space

With a new President, Mr..
Stevens cautioned his listeners
against choosing a seat in the

Wilkie and Roosevelt are no
more, It would be criminal car
lessness for you to be lulled to
sleep by a false sense Of Sc
curity.
Describing present Boston as
being ruled by a gang Of up

RELIEF TO EUROPE
BY Foster J. Pratt

President of the I. F. T. E. A. & D. u.
Needing the call of the American
Federation of Labor and other pro-
gressive groups, President Truman has
appealed to the nation to come to the
relief of our less fortunate neighbors
across the Atlantic.
The shadows of death are deepen
ing over Europe. In 60 days the con-
tinent will be winter bound. Millions of
families, millions of children, face
crisis.
Hunger'is already stalking through
Europe. The people who fought side
by side with us in the war, the people
whom we helped to liberate, are des-
perate.
In these countries, ruined by war
and Fascist pillage, the survival of
thousands of men, women and children
depends on our decision. The Ameri-
can people must realize that help from
us will not only save lives but also
L
world and the future of America it.
self in the years to come.
President Truman said owe must
help to the limits Of our strength-and
| we will" That was promise. 1t is up
to us to keep it. 1t is up to us to dis
charge our moral obligation toward
those who have no one else to look to
for assistance.
This winter is the real test. Crops
cannot be grown in the winter. In most
of the European continent, transporta-
tion facilities have been wrecked or
have broken down. Fuel is practically
unobtainable and medicine is scarce.
What we must do is to provide
enough food and supplies to prevent
starvation and cold and epidemics
from decimating the people of Europe
again.
The American Federation of Labor
and the Labor League for Human
| Rights, which is labor's own relief
| agency, join IN the call to all Amerl-
cans to help meet this immediate post
war crisis.
Labor insists that the government
| promptly determine how we can put
| the surpluses we have to the greatest
use in helping the people of Europe
now so they can take care of them
selves sooner.
Labor asks that the essential sup
plies released by army cutbacks be
4 made available at once for relief.
| Labor urges that firm steps be TAX

at home and at the same time to make
available the largest possible ship

New Drive On To Force
interpretations OF Unions

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-"A new
and vigorous campaign is now brewing
for another attempt to force labor
unions to incorporate" Albert N, Den
mis- declared in his Labor News Re-
view program over WTOP of the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
Dennis said that he had obtained
his information from sources that
have proved reliable in the past,
though the story had not yet "broken"
in the usual news sources.
Strikes To Be Cited
"The demand will be that labor
unions incorporate" he continued, $50
that they can be made responsible
somewhat like business corporations
for all actions, evidently meaning
public or otherwise. Supporting the
argument for incorporation, the cur
rent strikes and other work stoppages
caused by strikes will be used, along
with the old line OF aTguMelI oAtcH
advanced in the past.
Labor organizations, which are
largely welfare groups, not operated
for profit. have in general resisted
incorporation. This has been true Tor
over a hundred years. Labor history
is clear that similar campaign was
conducted away back in the 182Os, and
it was in part successful then.
"In later periods, when various un-
incorporated labor groups emerged
with wide influence, other campaigns
for incorporation have been conducted,
but with little success. What may be
the result in the current instance, Of
course, remains to be seen.'
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-10-05

In the face of the common know
ledge that we must vastly increase
purchasing power to maintain the
economy bequeathed to us by the war,
some folks seem surprised and pain
ed because strikes are beginning to
occur.
How did these folks think we were
going to get increased purchasing pow
er unless by reason of higher wages !?
The wonder is that industry, by and
large, didn't jump the gun and offer
increased wages, with an explanation
of why.
Employers missed one of the biggest
good will opportunities they ever had
or eyer will have.
1t seems not yet to have dawned on
some that the world cannot be the
same as it was before the war-that
we are not going back to anything.
That being the case, it has to be
true that we are going forward to
something and nobody knows exact
ly to what, as whole.
But that we are going forward to
higher mass purchasing power is one
thing that is certain.
Why, then, the baking in the har-
ness?
Unless we can do that very

seemed to give consent.
Now he says ne wants nothing to do
with politics. Well then, why doesn't
the general tell his friends on Capitol
Hill to stop making him a political
issue?
Gen. Macarthur has genius for
the dramatic. That is all right, in war
time. But he should be advised that it
is wholly unbecoming and wholly fool
ish to pull off dramatics in conflict
with the policy Of our government.
Gen. Eisenhower has shown sim
gular ability to keep out Of squabbles

into so many cross fires?
During the last campaign he was

long time he maintained q silence that

John L. Sullivan, 80, business
agent for Local "a, Hodcarriers,

bond yesterday in Municipal Court

alleged to have threatened to "get"
Joe F. Smith, go, 508 G street NV,
and to blow his head of" at the
union hall on December %. Mr..
Smith is a delegate of District Coun-
