IN MEMORIAM

Sacred to the memory of our dear mother
Aimee Matthews Hall, who departed thi
life eleven years ago, March 10, 1884.
You were so very good, dear mother,
Until the day you died
God must have Lowell you dearly,
When he took you from our side.
For above in the silent heaven
There is a soul pure we know,
If we could only hear you speaking
As we did once long ago.
Do not ask US if we miss her,
There's such a vacant place,
Oft we think we hear her footsteps
And we see her smiling face.
Days of sadness still come Ger us,
Tears of silence often flow,
Memory keeps her ever near US.
Though she left eleven years ago.
Her children,

should be all the more alert to ap-
parent outrages, such as occurred
in the sentencing of these men.
There should be a national day of

these unfortunate boys. The work
should be carried on ceaselessly

should be put into action to gain
justice where obviously injustice
has been done. Let US not forget

EDITORS Note: This is the second in a
series of articles on a subject that is of
vital concern to Negroes and whites every
where who would see that justice be done
and who would not want the postwar record
of a minority group blemished or impugned
because of race, creed or color in the
Vaccinations of military justice during war
time.)
The Port Chicago Mutiny Trial,
in which fifty Negro seamen were
sentenced to terms as follows-ten
men to fifteen years, twenty-four
men to twelve years, eleven men to
ten years, five men to eight years
is as rank and disgusting a spectacle
of justice miscarried as any
kangaroo court set up in the deep
South or in the rickety cell of some
two by four jailhouse where
bunch of ragged prisoners gang up
and give the works to the timid
newcomer.
Usually there is a tendency on
the part of Negroes to boiler once
or twice about matters of this kind
and then quietly and even timidly to
duck into their respective holes and
pull the holes in behind them be-
cause of fear of reprisals. think
we are beyond that stage now. We
are just as much entitled to frank
and honest discussion of things that
affect US as is any other American
group.
Boys Get Navy ''Hot Foot"
These boys, it appears, were given
the 'hot foot" by the Navy in this
case and the term shot foot" is a
mild manner of describing some
thing that would probably have a
more vulgar description if the boys
on the corners were asked their
views on what actually went on.
The spectacle of fifty men, I'M
nerved and shaken by the tragedy
in which 1922 of their fellow work
ers were killed in one of the most
horrible explosions of ammunition
on record, ordered to pick up the
heads, arms, legs, torsos, etc., of
the victims and load them in
baskets certainly isn't pretty one
to add to any official collection and,
if the Navy is proud of it, new
high in callousness has come about
in official circles.
Despite their classifcations in
other kinds of skills, the fifty men
now in Federal Penitentiary, had
been placed on a monotonous as
signment in loading high explosive
ammunition from three to twenty
three months. It has been said that
until the time of the alleged
"mutiny" their record for conduct
had been perfect. Yet, before the
seven-man General Court Martial
Board that was held at Yerba,
Buena Island, California, headed by
Rear Admiral H. w. Osterhaus, the
Advocate General, 1t. Commander
James F. Coakley, in prosecuting
these men called them "insolent,"
"smart-alecky," "cowardly," with
out character" and many other
epithets in his summary.
The record of the Navy toward
the Negro has been "smelly" and
no other term that is polite enough
to put in a newspaper can describe
the prejudices, discriminatory
practices, contempt, and indiffer-
ence with which the Negro has been
rooardad NV the Navv all along and

UdIuu0F
all this despite the attempt recent
ly of the Navy to change it's clothes
and try to join the company of
other branches of the Service that
have at least passable records of
tolerance and understanding on the
question of race.
258 Men Involved in Case
The American Civil Liberties
Union-News at San Francisco,
California, said that about 258 men
of the 2S8 men who were star
players in the grim drama that took
place at Port Chicago previously
refused to load ammunition on
August 8, 1914. In this case it
would seem that the Negro sea-
men, who were court martialed and
herded off to Jail were victims of
some kind Of discrimination that
tends to show that people were
picked at random as goats in the
trial. These seamen want to know
why fifty men were picked for
court martial and why the whole
258 were not picked.
Some of the men, according to the
American Civil Liberties News,
said they were all lined up and the
officers went along indiscriminately
asking here and there, "Do you
want to work." There were men
who said no." but were never
court martialed. It is believed
from the American Civil Liberties
News that the white officers just
got names Unfortunately.
The mental, monotonous tasks to
which the majority of the Negroes
in the Twelfth Naval District are
assigned are as dreary and hope
less as picking cotton with chain
around ones neck, under a scorch-
ing sun in a field in Mississippi.
The men who worked at the Navy
Supply Depot were put to work as
operator handlers and laborers re-
CARELESS of their past experiences
and qualifications. These boys who
were court martialed were Scared
to death" of their jobs after being
eye witnesses to the terrible
tragedy that took the lives of 1922 of
their mates. Such fear was normal
and would be experienced by the
bravest of men regardless of station
or training.
Here's Job for Negro Press
It is a job for the Negro Press,
Negro organizations, and the in
dividual citizens to see that these
boys get a new trial. President
Roosevelt, as COMMANDMENT Chief
of the Armed Forces, should order
a new trial Immediately for these
men.
Whatever the average person
thinks of Edgar G. Brown, of the
National Negro Council, credit must
be given him for his tenacity in
pushing issues that are really per-
tinent for the well-being and well
fare of the American Negro and
the nation as a whole. Right now
Edgar G. Brown is circulating petit
tions for one million signatures to
get President Roosevelt to i'm

of mutiny and sentenced to 5Ss
