so profitable to few business in
terests in South Africa that the con-
trolling groups there are demand
ing that they be permitted to in
corporate Southwest Africa with
several million Negroes into the
Union of South Africa.
Why do Negroes work in the
mines? They are recruited" Every
device Of political and economic
pressure is brought to bear against
them. Usually they go off to the
mines after failing to raise enough
to support their families on the
small barren plots of land left to
them on reservations. Or they go
because it is the only way to earn
the money with which to pay the
taxes levied by the South African
government expressly for the pur-
pose of forcing Negroes to seek
work from white employers.
That this strike could occur in
the face of these long established
facts can mean only one thing.
Some pretty sweeping and funda-
mental changes must be taking
place within the Union of South
Africa. Perhaps white labor is COM
ing to the realization that it cannot
rise itself so long as black labor is
kept in bondage. If things are really
turning for the better in South AT
RIGA, the future for that continent
is bright indeed.

LEAGUE BRANDED AS 'FRONT.' FOR kLAN

LOUISVILLE, Aug. % (ANP).
Duke, assistant attorney
general of Georgia, branded last
week the Continental League for
Christian freedom here as al front"
for the Ku Klux Klan.
An emphatic denial came from
Millard D. Grubbs, national direc-
tor of CLCF, who remarked that
1--WE don't approve of lunching, ra-
cial discrimination, or of anyone
who wears a mask or hood. The
League has never been affiliated
with the khan, and no khan member
has ever spoken before league mem
bers," Grubb said.
Pointing out that this organiza-
tion is "non-profit organizations"
Grubbs disclosed that he organized
the league here in 1943. He came
here from his native Christian
county in 1880, he said. Question
ing of Grubbs brought out the fact
that his movement is similar to the
America First movement and that
he prefers the Nazis to communists.
Grubbs disclaimed acquaintance
Of Gen. Moseley. Gen. George Van
Horn Moseley, retired army Off
GER, praised the German-American
bund before the Dies committee in
1889. He said that his organization,
! which has never had a meeting,
numbers over $4,000 members
throughout the country, with "up
to 5000 in the midwest. There are
1000 members in Louisville" he
said, "but very few in the south,
outside of Tennessee"
A function of the Continental
League for Christian freedom is to
distribute literature for other
groups, Grubbs said. He described
himself as writer of political es-
says and a trader in real estate" !"
Most of the literature he distributes
is branded as fascist propaganda.
Duke went to New York last
week to determine prewar ties ex-
listing between the klan and the
German-American bund in carry
ign out Gov. Ellis ArnalIs all-out
fight to smash the Ku Klux Klan.

LABOR VIEWS
By George F. McCray

Dy IcOTxc
An unheard of thing is happen
ing among Negro workers in the
South African gold fields. Thou
sands of Negro workers over
wide area in the transvaal gold
fields are striking to have their
wages raised from AZ cents per day
to minimum of $500.
These strikers have been long
overdue. A few years ago an impair
tial commission of the international
Labor organization, acting at the
request of the South African gov
ernment itself, investigated work
ing conditions Of Negro miners and
reported the miners were not earn
ing enough to support themselves
or their families whom they could
not see for as much as two years at
a time.
A strike Of Negro miners in the
South African gold fields is little
less than miraculous. In racial re-
preston South Africa is ten times
as bad as Mississippi. Even Sen.
Bilbo claims he is the Negroes
friend. In South Africa even the
Communists are careful about
their professions of friendship for
the Negro worker. And in that
whole area there is not a single
white trade union that will admit
a Negro.
What is worse, the law does not
permit the existence Of Negro trade
unions except among the mixed Ne
groes and employers are forbidden
by law to employ Negroes in certain
jobs held exclusively for white men.
In addition to this fact each
"boy" signs a yellow dog contract
in which he agrees to work for the
mining company for six months to
two years before he can leave to go
home to see his wife, children or
family. If he breaks the contract by
running away or by striking he is
subject to severe fines and impris-
onment. And once in the mining
camp he cannot leave without the
permission of the employer.
You are right. It is disguised
form of slavery which has proven

sims EXPLAINED HOW TO
END JOB DISCRIMINATION

"Put your X on the ballot"
That statement summarizes the
advice on how to end discrimina-
ton given to members of the Equal
ity in Job Opportunity Council by
Charles Sims, president of the
Montgomery Industrial Union
Council, at an EJOC membership
meeting in the Fifth Street YMCA.
"The answer to all problems of
discrimination is political action
register and vote," Sims declared.
The union leader, who is also
chairman of the local CIO-PAC,
said Negroes should elect candi-
dates who are in favor of a perma-
nent national and local Fair En-
ployment Practices Committee, and
then Negro citizens committees
should carry on intensive cam
paigns of political action to influ-
ence politicians to write these bills
into law.
Warning against becoming mis-
led and "too easily satisfied" with
reactionary candidates, Sims cited
the Dayton Board of Education as
an example and declared:
"Negro people, with all their
problems, should never be satisfied.
''Last year four liberal candi-
dates friendly to Negroes ran for
the school board. Three were de-
feated. If you had turned out two
thirds of the Negro vote you would
have all four of those people on the
board now, battling for your cause. /"
Pointing out that Negroes and
trade union people have the same
problems, Sims urged that Negroes
become good union members, know
all union affairs and attend all
union meetings.
Make sure you are the best trade
unionists in the shop and you'll get
recognition. Some Negro union
members are we'll informed on the
subject of discrimination but not
sufficiently informed on other
union affairs"
The speaker stressed the impor-
tance of knowing the union con-
tract and how to file grievances.
Slime recommended that claims of
discrimination in employmen
should be brought to the attention
of the union.
EJOC fact-finding committee
chairman, David Carroll, reported
on evidences of discrimination and
also on improvements discovered in
hiring practices in Dayton indus
tries. Carroll commended Brown
and Brockmeyer corporation for
upgrading a Negro janitor to a
machine and for hiring other min
critics, including Mexicans and a
japanese girl.
