CHEYNEY, Pa, May 5 (ANP)
African peoples now struggling
for sef-rule and larger share of
democratic freedom want the steps
toward that goal proclaimed now
and mandates and world organiza-
tion fixed accordingly" declared
DR.. George E. Haynes, executive
secretary of the department Of race
relations of the Federal Council Of
Churches, in an address before
Cheyney State college for teachers
here.
africa is the great prize today
in the scramble of imperial nations
for riches in raw materials and for
markets. The resources of the con-
tinent furnish one-half of the
worlds diamonds, and nearly three
fourths of the worlds copper. Palm
oil, the worlds greatest vegetable
oil, comes almost solely from At
rica.
Give centuries of the slave trade
followed by decades of exploitation
Of the African Iaborers and Afri-
can mineral and agricultural re-
sources have degraded many of the
African tribes and disrupted many
areas of the continent. But despite
all of this, African people are not
benighted savages. The vast major
ity of natives have an indigenous
culture of agricultural fields, pas
toral herds of cattle and flocks of
sheep and goats. They have ordered
family life, native government and
community standards. Thousands
in South Africa and in British and
French colonies have embraced the
education offered by missionary
and government schools.
"Now with native troops from
many of these colonies in the fight
for world freedom, their leaders
want this freedom to include them

900 WORKERS WIN
BA(K-PAY INCREASES
T0TALL|NG $320,000

BIRMINGHAM, May 5 (ANP)
About 900 employees of ingalls,
Iron Works and Birmingham Tank
company, of which approximately
40 percent are Negroes, have been
awarded close to $32O,OOO in back
pay by the regional War Labor
board, according to officials of
Shop Local No. $50, International
Association Bridge Structure &
Ornamental Iron Works (AFL).
This matter has been in dispute
between the LABS. & O.I.W. Shop
Local No. $50 since Apr. IL, 1914.
1t has been long and bitter fight,
said L. H. Britt. He added, "Take it
from me, this contract is the best
agreement written anywhere in
the country, north or south, where
the two races are so close in num-
ber employed. In this agreement
there are many gained benefits,
such as the men shall be classed
without discrimination irrespec-
tive of race, creed or color"
The wage increase ranged from
five to rs cents per hour with all
of the maximum raises going to
the Negro employees, Britt said.
Britt commanded the reception
given the wage announcement by
the white workers who, he said,
customarily, have received the top
increases.
Commenting further, Britt hit
the attitude that has been bruited
around that rival union was more
successful than the AFL in provid-
ing union benefits for it's Negro
members. He challenged, eff any
one doesn't agree with this state
ment coming from me, just ask any
