JOBS IN CALF.
AND NEW JERSEY

Several hundred more STU
members left the South during
July and August for 8 weeks
work in food processing plants in
California and New Jersey.
Nearly 100 workers are now err
ployed at Stockton Gal., Whlla
others are working IN various
plants in south Jersey.
A contract for sending 300 men
to the Campbell Soup Co, of
Camden, N. j., was cancelled by
the company just as the men were
preparing to leave their homes.
Local 80, Food Tobacco, and Agri
cultural Workers Urion, CIO,
once known as UCAPAWA, which
has the maintenance of member
ship contract with this company,
threatened to strike the plant if
any STU members We're hired.
No objection was raised in 1914
when a larger number of STU
members were hired by the COM
pany for the tomato season. The
local union did not have men
available for the jobs nor does
their contract call for all workers
to become members of that local
if employed. However, the COM
munist leadership of the Interna-
tional Union saw fit to refuse to
allow STU members to be en-
ployed under any conditions and
thus denied a few weeks work to
300 unemployed men. 1t will be
recalled that the STU was
forced to withdraw from Go in
1899 when the same group of
political lepers tried to wreck the
sharecropper organization.

Permanent FEPC
A Must II The
Minoriiies Are
TO Feel War End

The minoritios of this country
will not feel the war has really
been won unless FEPC is made
permanent, declared Mrs. Hedge
man, executive secretary Of the
National Council for a Perma-
nent FEPC, in statement releas-
ed to the press today.
THE world rejoiced when the
news came from Potsdam that
Truman, Stain and Attlee had
issued a decree abolishing all dis
criminatory Nazi laws" she said.
Yet here in the United States,
unless Congress acts quickly,
FEPC is automatically abolished
by the winning Of the same war
that made the Potsdan declara-
ton possible"
The text Of the statement fol-
lows:
THE minorities of this coun-
try will not feel the war has
really been won unless VI Day
is soon followed by FEPC Day
the day the Permanent FEPC
Bill is enacted.
ITO them their participation in
this war had special significance
because it was nourished and
spread on the exploitation of race
prejudice. If anything is to be
learned from the rise and fall
of Naziism it is that racial dis
elimination is self-destructive.
The depths of degradation to
which the Nazi racial precepts
led the German people should be
a warning to the Wcrld. The
ruthless determination of millions
of Jews was only a beginning:
by the time the atrocities were
extended to prisoners Of all races,
as at Buchenwald, most of the
German people were either cal
lous enough or intimidated
enough to close their eyes and
ears.
THE world rejoiced when the
news came from Potsdam that
Truman, Stain and Attlee had
issued a decree abolishing all dis
criminatory Nazi laws in Germ
any, Yet here in the United
States, unless Congress acts quick
iy FEPC is automatically abolish
ed by the winning of the S me
war that made the Potsdam de-
cree possible.
Once having given minorities
protection against discrimination,
our government cannot afford to
step backward and withdraw it.
We dare not risk the race riots
that followed the last war. At
least we can attempt to alleviate
the tensions by assuring that, no
matter how many or how few
the jobs, they are distributed
fairly
Congress must not sit by and
let FEPC die the natural death
of other war agencies. The war
against economic discrimination
must continue. The Permanent
FEPC bill belongs high on the
list Of the reconversion program
for which Congress is cutting
short its recess on September
