Newspaper Week

Every colored American has cause to feel
Justly proud Of the progress made by Negro
journalism since the founding Of the first Ne
GRO newspaper Ia this country March l6th
1927. in New York City. The llSth annlNel-
sarv Of that pioneer newspaper. Freedom :
Journal. will be celebrated this year from
february p through March 3 by Negro news
papers all over the United States. The theme
of Negro Newspapr Week this wear Is. The
Negro Press And Tomorrow s America.
What is the creed Of the Negro press i IS
this:
"The Negro press believes that America
can best lead the world away from racial and

Brotherhood

In February each year Brotherhood pro-
grams are sponsored by Jews Catholics and
Protestants All over this nation Churches
schools clubs and other organizations both
colored and white take this opportunity to
promote intemacia and INSTRUMENTATION
al gatherings for the purpose Of stimulating
better understanding and closer cooperation
among the varous racial and religious
groups This is as it should be since there is 50
much acia tension and religious bigotry to-
day: but the observance Of Brotherhood
Week should not be linted to one week It
should be observed all through the year.
A large number Of Brotherhood meetings
are scheduled to be held in Detroit this week
These gatherings are both appropriate and
timely and deserve to be encouraged; for
Metropolitan Detroit with its millions Of citi-
zens Of different races, coors. creeds and
nationalties is sadly in need Of better race
relations and a stronger spirit Of human
brotherhood.
The rivers Of human tears sweat and
blood which the present global war has
caused to flow SO copiously have cut deep
burrows of pain in millions Of hearts The
world is gradually coming to realize that war
does not pay The time has come for man in
humanity to man to be replaced by universal
justice and good will.
Christ taught that all men Of all colors and
nationaities are children of God, and are
therefore brothers Failure to recognize this
truth and put it into daily practice in human
relations has been and is responsible for all
human sufferings, conflicts and misunder-
standings.

negro ,sicl soldiers on furloughs
and the driver OF bus In Horse

" police arrested the negroes

work-or so II is said They

ard allowed TO return 10 their
camp. Accounts OF their treat
ment written by some Of these
soldiers have been printed in
Liberalite publications OF the
North and in newspapers OF neg
roes tsici In substance. they ac-
cused the Aiken authorities OF
disgraceful and indefensible be-
havior. OF course they are not
to be accepted as true +. The
facts about the affair could be
sent TO the New York publication

would not print them. as they

LABOR
The California supreme court
has ouilawed the Jim Crow prac-
tees Of some labor unions which
require negro workers TO pay
dues TO The union but scgregatc
them IN auxiliary locals which
have no vote on union policies
What the California court
seems TO say is that il is All
righ, for a union, by a closed
shop contract. to obtain a mon
opoiy Of employment for union
members. but that il must share
that monopoly with any an Ascd
craftsman who is willing to Join
the union. The ruling is JUST
one, but also one that is not
going TO be generally adopted
without the most strenuous OPP
position by the present benef-
Charles of the combination OF the
