Wage Levels

MT. Norris intervened that 1t IS certain that the Alaska Juneau can net operate at present wage levels with the price of gold where it is. It is very doubtful" he said, that the mine could carry the last award made here of a IA cents an hour wage increase. He looks to Breton Woods compact as possible hope for partial solution of geld mining difficulties.
 MT. Bradley gave his opinion, that @ free gold market" would "un- dcubtedly result in a price rise well above S35 per ounce He is not hopeful Of free market for gold, however.
 Mir. Norris, though President of the company, had never seen the Alaska Juneau mine before and he gave de- sire to see the mine and Alaska as his chief reason for coming north at this time. Mrs. Norris is with him on the trip. MT. Bradley is combin- ing business with pleasure, as he had wanted to come home" to Juneau fer some time, he said.
 Another Trip Socn
 MT. Bradley plans another trip here in about six months, when he expects economic conditions will give more purpose to an examination of the mine properties. He hopes to bring Mrs. Bradley with him at that time. T keep telling her about Alaska, but she's never been here" :" ke said. MT. and Mrs. Norris and MT.

ing back gold mining, MT. Bradley continued, is the tightness of the labor market, the lack of skilled miners. In view of that condition, he said, prospects for the Alaska Juneau are better than for the company's properties in California. MT. Bradley is Chairman of Cali fornias State Mining Board and has wide knowledge of conditions in that State.
 The numbering industry has all ways been the principal competitor of mining in the labor field, he pointed out, and the current na- tionwide housing shortage will spur activity, taking many men that might otherwise be avail able for mines.

dOlph of the National Council
for a Permanent FEPC.
A number of Republicans in
both the House and Senate have
given quite a bit of support to
the bill, but more support from
Republican forces is needed, he
said. The Republicans he specifi-
cally named as carrying on a
very effective fight for the bill
were Senator Wayne Morse of
Oregon and Representatives
Charles M. LaFOllette of Indiana
and Joseph C. Baldwin of New
York.
Mr.. Randolph said he thought

the legislation through Congress
"They are not altogether satisfied

given the job supervising the ship
ping room where she has four white
girls working under her. Every
body gets along, and all is smooth
sailing, but part Of it is probably
due to the fact that her boss, Irv-
ing Blumberg, has taken the trouble
to sound out the girls who are to
be under her supervision before he
puts them on the job. Anyone with
peculiar ideas about this thing
called Race, is sent to peddle her
papers elsewhere.
"Act naturally, and you'll get
along" Jean said. There's no sense
in asking for trouble as SO many
of US do"
Jean is single, has had one year
at the University Of Minnesota
where she studied sociology, and
believes the year at the "U" helped
her when the firm was considering
her promotion. She's Project Of
the Sodality at st. Leonard's Cath
Ole Church, 10th and Clinton.
In addition to liking her job, she
also likes the wholesale price she
gets on her clothes; she can pur-
chase a $500 dress for $1O.75 or
$11.O0, and that, Jean thinks, is not
bad at all.

No One Solution
For Race Problem
Educator Saws

"No one method will provide the
solution" declared Theodore Bran
meld, professor of educational
psychology at the University, at the
meeting of the Minneapolis
NAACP, Sunday, at Phyllis Wheat
ley House.
Brammeld pointed out in his talk
that there were seven major ways
in which minorities can choose to
handle their problems:
. The way of compliance or &C
quiescence-accept things as they
are.
. The method of escape or with
drawal into some kind of religion.
. The way of retreat or withdraw

sentative Adam C. Powell, Jr.,
Democrat, of New York, was re-
ported to have got in touch with
the Mayor of st. Louis in an effort
to secure accommodations for his
wife, but his efforts were unavail-
ing.
To add to her distress, the au-
tOmObile in which she was trav-
cling to St. Louis with her maid
and chauffeur, broke down and
she was forced to take a bus. At
the roadside restaurant at which
the bus stopped so that passen-
gers could dine, she was told she
could be served in the kitchen
only.
Powell was in New York City
last Friday, and could not be
reached for verifcation of these
reports or comment. It was re-
ported in political circles here,
however, that he will probably bolt
the Democratic party as result
of the determinations his wife has
undergone on her concert tour, and
announce his sole utilization with
the American Labor party.
In the House last Thursday,
three bills to withdraw privileges
from the OAR were introduced
as the result of the controversy
over their refusal to rent Con-

Democrat, of New York, offered q
measure to repeal the act of Feb

First Negro
Player Signed
Bv BROOKLYN

Montreal. - Action of Branch
Hickey in signing Jackie" Robin
son, K. C. Monarch's short-stop for
the Brooklyn Dodgers farm team
the Montreal Royals created ma
tionwide excitement in the U. s.
Robinson thus became the first
Negro signed to a contract in or
ganized basebalPs history.
Reaction of club owners was
varied. Only Horace Stoneham,
owner of the N. Y. Giants, gave
full approval of the move.
The move to open baseball to
Negro players received impetus
from the Negro Newspaper Pub
fishers Association two years ago
when members of the executive
board of the association met with
the late Judge K. M. Lands and a
group of the magnates.
Other forces including the N. Y.
Peoples Voice, Joe Cummiskey
of PM daily newspaper and others
have campaigned to get Negro
players accepted in organized base
ball.
Two months ago Negro and
whites launched a picket line about
the N. Y. Yankee stadium. Later
when a plan was made to cite the
Yankee and Giant management be-
fore the N. Y. State FEPC, Mayor
LaGuardia named a committee to
confer on the possibility of Negro
Indignation in baseball.
Later Larry McPhail, president
Of the Yankees, issued a long state
ment in which he tried to show why
Negro players could not be signed
for the big leagues or their minor
league farms,

forward too rapidly-too far in an
attack. Some officers stressed the
fact that the Negro soldiers, being
volunteers, may have had excep-
tional combat qualities.
. Asked how the Negro soldiers
compared with white troops in
combat, the answer was: Officers,
sixty-nine per cent believed they
performed "just the same as white
troops" and eighty-three per cent
of the sergeants agreed.
. In answer to the question, GLOW
did you feel at first about serving
in a company that had white pla-
toons and Negro platoons ?" sixty
four per cent of the officers and
sixty-four per cent of the non
CONS said their reaction was rela-
lively unfavorable.
. Then came the question, "Has
your feeling changed since having
served in the same unit with Negro
soldiers ?" Seventy-five per cent of
each group said they "have become
more favorable toward them"
Negro platoons served with
white companies in the First, Sec
ond, Ninth, Sixty-ninth, Seventy
eighth, Ninety-ninth and 104th In
fantry Divisions. The men from
service units volunteered for serv-
ice with the infantry and were
trained for about six weeks in re-
enforcement depots, usually by a
white officer or non-com who later
led them into combat.

Randolph stated that he also
noted that intense opposition had
developed in Kansas City to Rep
resentative Roger C. Slaughter,
Democrat, of Missouri, whose
vote in the Rules Committee kept
the bill for a permanent FEPC

The survey noted that the diff

had a Negro platoon, were from the
South, as were thirty-fOur per cent
of the soldiers in the crOss-sectiOn

or would some other way be bet

and one per cent of the non-coms,
