TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY
By RUSSELL KAY

and they stayed with the job I'M
till it was finished.
1t was strictly a voluntary eff
fort. These negroes were not farm
laborers. They were independent
farmers themselves, most of them
with plenty of work awaiting
them at home, but because they
loved Farmer Jim and because
they knew from experience what
it meant when adversely caused
the loss of crop, they pitched in
and helped and were glad to do
it. They were not getting paid,
wanted no pay, although old Jim
would have been more than glad
to remunerate them. They were
simply exhibiting a spirit of good
will and neighborlineSs toward a
fellow farmer in distress. The
feat that they labored in the hot
sun to save white mans crops
didn't worry them. This wasn't a
question of race, color or creed.
This was a case of neighbor
needing help, help that these
humble colored farm folks were
able to give They laughed and
sang as. they worked and they did
"a magnificent job. They welcom-
ed this opportunity to- do some
thing for a kindly, friendly man
who on numerous occasions had
gone out of his way to do things
for them.
The incident speaks volumes for
the relation between the races in
Jefferson County. It is typical of
the situation that has long exist
ed in the South and which the
/, busybody social uplifters and
equality advocates do not and can
not understand as they go about
their self-arpointed task of stir
ring up strife and i'll will between
the races.
! Selfishness, hate, greed and in
tolerance are the pOisonS from
which strife and wars are brew
ed The peace of the world lies
buried in the hearts of Hdivid-
uals, it matters not their race,
their color or their creed.
; What we hope to accomplish at
San Francisco is what was actual
: ~ demonstrated not long ago in
Jefferson County. Until the ma
tions of the world reach the point
where they can forget their own
selfish interests and begin to seek
an opportunity to work with and
help their neighbors, just as these
7 negroes in remote corner Of the
globe exhibited a true spirit OF
tolerance n d neighborlineSs,
there is little hope for lasting
| peace.
The world today, like Jim Lacy.
is sick, its fertile fields lie u1clil-
tivated. God grant that from out
OF the darkness and chaos, Miles
Grover will arise who can lead
its people to the understanding
and practice Of those simple acts
of neighborliness and unselfish
service that will restore health
and safeguard the harvest.

Great efforts will probably be
made to acquire wealth and posi-

full when supported by other as
poets. Much opposition may be
met partly due TO the tendency

mittee representative working

Director Richard Gosser is max
ing a swing around Region 2-B
meeting with Local union Off

organization of veterans COM
mittees.
Some Local unions which

resentative in setting up their

of the International UAW-CIO.
International union officers
and delegates to last years UAW-

the most important phases of
union activity. No efforts are
being spared by the Interna-
tional union or the regional
office to give all pos
sible aid and assistance in form

them in their program.

In his official application,
Mr.. Adde's designated Grand

proximately $500 delegates, Off

attendance would be limited to

Proceeding
In Sondusky

Organizational work is pro-
ceeding satisfactorily in San
dusky according to Dorsey Carr
of the staff of Regional Director
Richard Gosser. Mr.. Carr was
assigned to the Sandusky post
several weeks ago.
Difficulty was experienced at
first by Mr.. Carr due to back
door agreements in several
plants marked for organizational
drives. This, however, is slowly
being overcome and the posi-
bilities for successful drive look
brighter.
Wage rates in the Sandusky
area for both male and female
employees are extremely low
according to Mr.. Carr and the
workers are anxious to secure
membership in an organization
that can do something for them
in bettering their rates.
Since employees of the Ameri-
can Crayon Co. have shown
some interest in organization,
the management has filed with
the WLB for a vacation plan.
Mr.. Carr has been employed
in the office of Regional Director
Gosser for the past year. He was
formerly employed by the Stand
ard Products Co. Port Clinton
and worked for years to bring
that group into the UAW-CIO.

CIO Asks
ReqionoI Transfer

A committee of CIO leaders
will go to Cleveland on March
81 to seek transfer of Toledo
from the Cleveland to the De-
troit WLB upon the unanimous
approval of TIUC delegates to
the March % CIO Council meet
ing.
Support of the Central Labor
Union for the move will be
sought in effecting the proposed
change. The transfer is being
sought because Tabor conditions
and labor relations in Toledo
are more like those of Detroit
than the areas serviced by the
Cleveland board"
Frederick Bullen, chairman of
the Cleveland WLB was severly
criticized for his statement
charging Local IL, UAW-CIO
and the Northern Aircraft Prod
ucts Co. for passing the buck"
to the WLB without attempting
to negotiate their differences.
1t was pointed out by Tom
Burke that management has
been the greatest offender and
that the Northern Aircraft had
been guilty of the same practice
as some other Toledo concerns
who clutter up the board with
disputes which ordinarily could
be settled by the parties con-
cerned.

portunity he has earned at the
risk of his life"
Where the Legion proposal
would flatly cancel all war
workers seniority from May 1,
1910, the union program asks
that veterans who were not
workers before entering the
armed services be given senior
ity credit for time spent in the
armed forces after Sept. 1, 1910,
upon completion of any proba-
tionary period in the plant.
This proposal and others
would require a new interpreta-
ton of Section 8 of the Selec-
tive Service Act which deals
with seniority for returning vet
Grams. The labor group has pro-
posed new job benefits for dis
abled veterans. The war-Wound-
ed vets should be assured the
same wage paid to able-bodied
men doing the same or similar
work, the labor group declared.
The seniority fate of 10000
union members depends on the
Interpretation of Section 8, the
statement continued, and also
the job possibilities of millions
of men and women now serving
in the armed forces.

Youth Administration director
was one of the dirtiest in the
Senate's history. Williams was
attacked chiefly because of his
belief that Negroes should have
equal job opportunities and his
faith in the destiny of the COM
man man.
Majority Leader Sen. Bark
ley, before the final vote was
taken, pleaded with the Senate
for Williams confirmation and
said that Williams throughout
his government and private
career had proved himself a
champion of the underpriviledg-
ed. Barkley answered conten-
tions of Southern senator's that
Williams had Communistic ten
denotes with the flat statement
that the record showed that

Communism"
But labor leaders, who had

ton, were inclined to agree with

partment of Labor.
The back wages were paid to
304 workers by II establish
ments. In each case the pay
ments were voluntarily made
following inspections, and no
court actions were necessary.
The majority of the violations
were for failure to pay time and
one-half for all work over 40

Servicemen's
B0bies Bill Is
20 Million

WASHINGTON, March "a -
(LPA)-More than quarter
million servicemen's wives and
infants have received care un-
der the federal program initial
ed by the Children's Bureau of
the Dept. of Labor two years
ago, it was announced last week
by DR.. Martha M. Eliot, who has
administered the program.
The "stork bill" now totals
close to $70,000,O00, DR.. Eliot
said. "Uncle Sam is paying doc
tor and hospital bills for ap-
proximately one baby out of
every six born these days." she
commented.
Passed by Congress in March,
1943, the program provides for
free medical, hospital, and nurs-
ing care for mothers during
pregnancy, childbirth, and for
six weeks after childbirth.
Servicemen's families in the
four lowest pay grades of the
Army, Navy, Coast Guard and
Marine Corps, and wives and in
fants of aviation cadets are
covered.
Success of the program points
to possibilities for federal plans
for maternal and child care
after the war, the Children's Bu-
reau hints in announcing prog
ress to date. While the present
program ends six months after
the war, experience gained by
medical and government Off
cials, and the satisfaction of
servicemen and their families,
are expected to prove powerful
factors in any postwar proposals
for universal medical care.
