BY RUSS J. COWANs

There's a movement afoot, and
il il continues at its present pace,
those of us who, over the years,
have been reading a newspaper
while the barber was making a
vain effort to cut our hair, will find
il necessary to give over to Nor
pheus and pound our ears during
the process of the shearing.
This movement was born In .
resolution adopted by the State
BARRIERS association In . meeting
held in Pontiac last week, The
resolution condemns reading Of
newspapers by customers while
the barber Is clipping the locks,
and won the overwhelming sup
port Of the delegates.
IN THE GOOD old days, when
Dad introduced us to barber on
Chicago's teeming South Side, il
was the custom of the tonsorial
artist to hand the customer the
Police Gazette, newspaper. or
level of with a verbal barrage
about Mayor Carter H. Harrison's
latest speech. AS Dad preferred TAX
ing gander at the Gazette, we've
naturally followed in his footsteps,
only ours has been. the newspaper.
This custom has been followed
down through the years. but the
Resolution threatens TO abridge the
liberty. and there is large number
OF customers yelping in protest
against this attempt to shackle the
expressions Of freedom.
F. w. johnson, manager Of the
Gotham hotel barber shop, was for
merly disciple OF this doctrine,
but evidently has strsyed from the
straight and narrow path. He's now
worshipping at the shrine of those
opposed to newspaper reading in
the barber chair. Says Mr.. Johnson:
They're right! When a Gus
toners reading the paper he stiff
fens his neck and makes IL ex-
tremely hard for the barber TO
give him a good hair cut"
Johnson's sentiments are echoed
by Kirk Lewis, owner OF the Mitch
ell hotel. II don't believe Gus
toner should read paper while
the barber is cutting his hair" de-
clared Lewis.
BUT GEORGE SWANSON. pro-
prietor of a barber shop on Tasting.
street. is among those opposed to
the resolution.
II always give my customer.

FAIR PRACTICE
GROUP ATTACKS
COMPANY BIAS

The Fair Practices committee of
Local 900 made its first report last
week at the regular meeting Of
the locals general council.
The report sharply condemned
the practice Of Segregation which
has existed In the maintenance
department. Of the Ford Meter
company for some time.
IN ITS recommendations, the.
committee ordered the plant ne
Eotiating committee to open ne
gotistions with the company i'm
mediately to eliminate the dis
elimination in the departments
cited.
The committee reports on dis
elimination charges among the
structural steel workers in the
foundry where there are separate
segregated work gangs. They
charged further that Negro and
white workers were not permitted
to work together.
THE COMMITTEE in its findings
stated that it had been the policy
of this department since 1910 not
to let whites work for Negro su-
pervision. This meart that crews
working under Negroes were all
Negro and vice versa. All replace
ments in either one of the crews
would follow the racial pattern re-
gardless of the seniority OF the in
dividuals or the undesirability Of
the jobs.
The committee reported also that
a case of discrimination had come
to light in the refusal Of two Ne
groes to be accepted for work in
Worthwhile. The Negroes were re-
turned with the comment that they
don't want any black faces out
there"
The report said further that the
practice of segregation. even il not
accompanied by any other evil
dence of injury to the persons in
volved Is directly contrary to the
principle OF unionism.
I'VE have only to look back four
short years to see how the COM
pany during the Ford strike sought
to capitalize real, or imagined
enmities between Negro and white
workers" the report said. Let us
not forget either that Negro bait
ing among. the more reactionary
elements OF the white population
and fostering Of distrust Of white
people among the more susceptible
Negroes were used in our last
mayoralty campaign with marked
success, and in our recent national
elections with less success. but still
with great effect. We cannot, there
fore, as good union men or good
Americans ignore this situation"

Elderly Woman
Burns To Death
In House Blaze

Fire that started in the upper
Hoors Of a three family frame and
concrete block dwelling at S52l
Russell street, caused the death o.
q 7e-year-old woman.
The victim was Mrs. Laura
Jehnsen. who had been living
alone In the apartment for four
or Ave years. according 10 Mrs.
Willie Conyers. who lives on the
FIRST floor. The flames were dis
covered by Mrs. Conyers.
MRS. CONYER'S daughter. Mary,
had been helping the elderly
woman for two years. According
10 Mrs. Conyers. il was impossible
90 save Mrs. Johnson because the
door connecting the hrst floor
apartment and the second floor
apartment was locked. Mrs. john
son always used the side entrance,
Mrs. Conyers said.
When Mary Conyers went up
stairs through the side entrance
she could not see Mrs. Johnson
She called four who were next
door. but the Are was so strong they
were unable 10 reach her. Mrs
johnson had gone behind the stone
in an attempt 10 protect herself
from the flames.
This meant that she was closer
10 the inside door than the out
side one" Mrs. Conyers said.
There was nothing we could do
until the Are department got the
FIRE under control. Then IL was
too late.
Mrs. Conyers said Mrs johnson
had a daughter in North Detroit
who took care of the body.

BARRIERS Split On
Newspaper Reading

Fisher. manager Of the Wolverine
Barber shop.
"A good barber makes life %
enjoyable that it's . good time to
read the Newspaper" said the
Rev. Horace A. White, pastor Of
Plymouth Congregational church.
"A good barber wants his Gus
toners to read the newspaper.
My barber. ALI Perry Of the
Twentieth Century shop. goes and
gets me . paper. A barber who
is too nervous 10 have his Gus
toner read . paper while he
works, should not be barbering."
And So the controversy RACES
growing hotter each and every day
with a large number joining force,
with johnson. and an equal mum
Der on the side of Swanson.

Rules Should
Be Explained

Football rules are changed
quite often and for that reason
more publicity should be given
to them. Very few people know
the rules and fewer understand
them.
More interest would be taken
by the fans if the rules were
explained thoroughly or if they
were simplified. Even officials
become bewieldererd at the in
tricate rules and many hours
are spent in consultations for
their interpretations.
1t would be better for the
sport if rules concerning high
school, college, and professional
teams would be explained over
a public address system at the
time of the infraction of the
rules.

Local 12 Sponsors Basketball League
Waite Still Holds
Football Edge

The Toledo high school foot
ball race forges on toward the
end of the season with the Waite
High Indians enthroned in first
place. After Waite's second de-
feat of Central Catholic, it looks
like the real race lies between
the Indians and the Libbey Cow
boys.
To date, Waite has won five
games without suffering any de-
feats, while Libbey has one blot
on its record, a single defeat at
the hands of Waite on a muddy
field.
Central Catholic is tied with
the Scott Bulldogs, with two
wins and three losses. Devil
bliss, we'll coached with a smooth
running attack, is having a hard
time getting started and is in a
tie with Woodward for last
place. They each have one vic
tory and four losses on their
records.
