FEPC TO HOLD HEARING
ON WESTERN
CARTRIDGE COMPANY

A formal hearing on complaints
of racial discrimination against the
Western Cartridge Company of
East Alton, Illinois, will be held by
the Presidents Committee on Fair
Employment Practice on January
81, it was announced today by FL
mer W. Henderson, Regional Direc-
tor in Chicago.
"Our Committee has received
number of complaints that this COM
pany refuses to employ qualified
Negroes at its great ammunition
plant and we have attempted to
negotiate a change of policy with
out successful results" Henderson
said.
The War Manpower Commission
has also attempted to change this
company's practices but was unable
to and certified the case to FEPC
in November, 1913. At this time the
company made a public statement
that it could not comply due to the
prevailing community pattern in
East Alton. This city has no Negro
residents and there is an alleged
sentiment among white citizens
against them.

White Officer
From Mississippi
COnfOunds BilbO

WASHlNGION, ID. q. (NNPA)
The attitude of at least one Mis-
sissippi Army officer toward Negro
soldiers was revealed in the column
Washington Merry Co Round" by
Drew Pearson last week. The ac-
count of meeting Of the Missis-
sippi delegation in Congress to well
come one of their States heroes
was reported as follows:
Members of the Mississippi Con-
gressional delegation met last
week to welcome one of their
States war heroes-Lieut. Van T.
Barfoot of Carthage, Miss, who
has BEEN awarded the Medal of
Honor, the Silver Star, the Bronze
Star and the Purple Heart. A soft
spoken lad who had never been out
of Mississippi before entering the
Army, 1t. Barefoot fought with dis
tinction in Africa, Sicily, and Italy.
"a little embarrassed at being
surrounded by Congressman, Bar
foot told some of his experiences in
combat and tried to answer ques-
tons. One of them finally came
from Senator Theodore (The NAM
Bilbo on his favorite subject.
Lieutenant Bilbo asked, did
you have much trouble with Ne
groes over there?'
"Bilbo was set back on his heels
when the lieutenant drawled:
"Mr. Senator, / found out after
I did some fightin' in this war the
colored boys fight just as good as
the white boys. have changed my
ideas a lot about colored people
since got into this war, and so
have a lot of other boys from the
South. We've found the colored
boys all right
Then LieuteEant Barefoot quiet-
ly volunteered this information:
Coming up to Washington on
the train I went into the diner and
found it full. The waiter told me
I'd have to wait, but I could see,
behind a little curtain, a colored
Army captain sitting at table by
himself. 1 said, whats wrong
with that table 2" The steward told
me he didn't think I'd want to sit
with a colored man, and 1 said:
"'Why not? I've fought with
colored men-why shouldn't 1 eat
with 'em. sat with that colored
captain and we had a fine chat
Senator Bilbo then launched
into long peroration about what
great friend of the Negro race he
is, telling among other things how
he proposed transplanting Ameri-
can Negroes to Liberia.
mot present at the Mississippi
meeting was Congressman John
Rankin"

Annual
Meeting in Mpls.
Tuesday. Jan. 80

Lilace Reid Barnes, president of
the Chicago Y. W. C. A. and men,
Der of the national board, will speak
at the annual meeting of the Min
neapolis Y. w. C. A. on Tuesday,
Jan. 80, at the Y. W. C. A. in
Benton Hall. A humorous skit de-
picting activities in the Y. W. C. A..
lobby, during the supper hour rush,
will be presented. Reservations for
dinner to be served at 6:15 must
be made by noon on Monday, Jan.
20.
A feature of the annual meeting
each year is the announcement of
the names of women elected to the
board of directors and nominating
committee. Mrs. w. D. Brown has
been reelected to the board to serve
until 1947. Her name appears on
the ballot for ratification. Mrs.
Cornelia Burns is a candidate for
the nominating committee.
1t is expected that local Negro
women will assume a keener inter-
est in Y. W. C. A. activities since
the announcement recently of the
dropping of all racial bars prevent
ing full participation in Y. W. c. A.
activities.
This step was clearly explained
by the board to include use of the
swimming pool and admission to
swimming classes organized at the
Y. w. C. A. This has been a sore
spot with Negroes for some time
and Mrs. Brown, with the aid of
other women, Negro and white, has
fought consistently for equal par
ticipation, particularly in the
swimming classes. Mrs. Brown
served for several years on the in
terracial committee before being
elected to the board, first to fill the
unexpired term of Mrs. Leo M. Bo-
hanon who resigned some time ago.
She has now been elected for full
term.

Randolph Blosts
NEGRO Anti-Semitisn

NEW YORk.-"The enemies OF
the Jews are the enemies of the
Negro" declared A. Philip Ran
dolph this week as he warned Ne
groes not to become "tools of anti
Semitism."
Commenting on an article called
"The Indigestible jew" which ap-
peared in a Memphis, Tenn, Negro
publication, the president of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers directed a scathing attack on
this brand of hate propaganda.
"Of all people, Negroes should
be the last to cast any aspersions
on another minority group, which
more often than not is the target
of the poison arrows aimed at us
as well. 1t is this consideration
which prompts me to write the fol-
lowing lines.
Anti-Semitism Enemy of
Democracy
Instead of the Negro becoming
a tool of anti-Semitism, he should
be the uncompromising foe Of this
dread anti-social pestilence. be-
cause anti-Semitism is not only di-
rected against the Jews but it is
the enemy of democracy, liberalism,
and freedom which are the hope
of the Negro and all of the minori-
ties.
eve must never forget the old
adage that, You'll reap what you
SOW Randolph warned. "If you
sow the wind you will reap the
whirlwind. If you SOW the seeds of
hate propaganda against the Jews,
you will reap the hurricane of racial
discrimination. Moreover, Negroes
who are themselves the victims of
racial discrimination and prejudice,
as shown by lynch and mob law to
which we are subjected, should be
the last people on earth to be party
to any scheme to visit racial and
discrimination upon any other
people," .
Randolph reminded the editors
of the anti-Semitic articles that the
establishment of rural schools for
Negroes throughout the South has
been carried on for years by the
foundation set up by julius Rosen-
valid.
Julius Rosenwald Lauded
. "Who was Mr.. Rosenwald? He
was a Jew who believed in the pos
sibilities Of growth and develop
ment of the Negro people. This
same Mr.. Rosenwald perhaps has
done more toward the establish
ment of Y.M.C.A.'s among Negroes
in this country than any other
American citizen. l am sure we
would not want to insult and hu-
initiate the group to which such a
man belongs.
'But even if there wasn't a single
Jew who contributed one dime for
the education and advancement of
the Negro people" Randolph added,
ARTICLES such as the one in ques-
ton, which inflame the populace
against our Jewish citizens, would
be Objectionable. am sure every
enlightened Negro citizen will
agree with me in this position.
eve who are insisting that the
rights of the Negroes should be
respected in fact as well as in law
have a contribution to make to the
development of sound, constructive,
and just relationships among the
various groups comprising our ma
ton"
