Quarrel Leads To
Fatal Shooting
The Common Defense
(by Rev. William C. Kernan)

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES WEEKS EVERY YEAR
About two months ago, deep beneath the surface Of the
earth in a Kentucky coal mine, an explosion trapped nine
miners. For a moment they tried to fight their way out.
But forces mightier than men bodies we're arrayed against
them-and these were fire, gas and smoke. knowledge
and experience-strOnger than physical strengtt-were
needed. And one of the trapped men had knowledge and
experience. He was Bud Townes-a Negro. Once before
in 1929, he had been caught in a similar catastrophe.
AT his suggestion the miners retreated to a side room
which was then barricaded and sealed. There was some
food in the lunch pails-and some water. Not very much
of either. Townes took charge and rationed both. There
was some air in the room-not much-but, to conserve the
supply of oxygen, Townes directed his comrades to lie flat
on their backs. And then-they awited-and hoped.
Sometime later they we're all rescued-alive. Today
Bud Iownes is a hero out in the part of Kentucky where
he lives. His fellow miners trapped with him in the mine,
praise him and attribute their rescue to his presence among
them. No doubt he is a hero. No doubt either that he de-
serves the praise he receives.
But isn't there something else to be said-something a.
bout the sane policy of the mine owners who did not deny
employment to a man because Of his coIor-so1etning a
bout the sound Americanism of the miners who welcomed
TOwnes as a fellow worker? Isn't there something also to
be said for the principle of brotherhood which recognizes
the essential Likeness of all men, and the right of ali of them
to live and work and grow without respect to race or relig-
ion or national origin? For if, due to intolerance which
often expresses itself in discrimination against Negroes,
Bud TONNES had not been permitted to work in that mine,
eight men-not Negroes-would be dead today. So-Iet
us place Brotherhood high in our American scale of values
brotherhood Week is being observed nationally from
February 1924. But what we need all year long is fifty
two weeks of Observation-Disclosures in the heart-and
praciced in the common tasks of every day. The ODserv-
ance of brotherhood Week must not be construed to be
the beginning and end of brotherhood. 1t is but a yearly
life which we must always live i'm accordance with the Com
mandments of God.

''The critical vote on this legislation came on the motion
to impose 'cloture' on further debate. Southern Senators
had been conducting a fiibuster for several weeks, by an
agreement TO continue the discussion and debate day after
day, in order to prevent a vote. This parliamentary trick
was winked at by many northern Democrats who did not
wish to embarrass the Southern members of their party by
forcing the issue. .a.
''The motion for 'cloture' would have put a stop to fur
Their debate. The 'cloture' motion was supported by al,
most every Republican, including myself, but il was defeat
ed when a majority of the Democrats, including some from
all sections of the country, opposed it. The Republicans,
being a minority of the Senate, we're thus unable to force q
vote on the FEPC, which would have put every Senator
squarely on record, for 0 r against.
."The failure to pass the FEPC. bill is the sole RESPONSE
bilty Of the Democratic majority of the Senate. Il is a
fair inference that such legislation viii have no chance Of
passage until the Republicans control both Houses of Con-
gress.
FLEBUSTERED AGAINST ANTELYNCHENC BIZ:
"Tt is interesting to recall that The Democrats flabustered
against the Anti-Lynching bill in 1922 and again i'm 1887
The Republican Party, on the other hand. plTdgelin their
1914 platform to establish a permanent Fair Employment
Practices Commission and promised legislation against
lynching. 1t also favored submission of a constitutional
amendment for the abolition Of The poll tax.
'The action of the Democratic Party in preventing a
vote on the FEPC. makes it clear that the American Ne
gro's interests are safe only in The hands Of TIE Republican
Party. 1t was the party of Lincoln that struck the shack
es Of slavery from him. made him a free man with the
right to vote, and since that day, through education and
protective laws, has tried to give him all the advantages and
blessings of citizenship"

Washington, D. C-Sharp con-
domination of the deal between
some of the supporters Of FEPC
both Republican and Democrat,
and the filibuster block Dixie sena
tors was contained in kilograms
to senators last week by Walter
White, NAACP Secretary.
The deal" which was rumored
last week, came out into the open
when Republican leader Wallace
H. White, Jr., of Maine, made a
speech praising the fihbusters,
declaring he agreed with them.
Robert Taft, Republican of Ohio,
secured the floor and declared he
was willing to go along with this
deal. The Congressional Record
will probably not reveal this re
mark after it has been edited, but
spectators in the gallery heard
and also heard other senators call
out "sh-h-h."
The NAACP telegram urged
senators not to be a party to the
agreement and to insist FEPC
legislation continue as official or
der of business of the Senate and
remain so until vote is secured on
its merits
In addition to the Walter White
wire, hundreds of kilograms and
a score of telephone calls reached
Washington Friday and Saturday
from NAACP branches in 80
estates urging senators to vote for
cIoture and to keep FEPC the
order of business before the Sen
ate.
One aspect of the trickery in
the deal was the setting of the
cloture vote for 4 pm. Saturday,
February 9. Opponents of the bill
We're counting on the fact that the
daughter of Senator Chavez was
scheduled to be married at 1 pm.
February 8, and that therefore
the leader in the fight for FEPC
would be in no mood to be pre-
sent and put up a battle. They
also depended on senators being
absent on Saturday afternoon.
NAACP branches warned their
senators to oppose any motion
made after the cloture vote which
would displace FEPC as the Sen
ate's business, including a motion
to adjourn.
In San Francisco, at a giant
mass meeting supporting both the
national FEPC and one for Calf.
Walter White was the principal
speaker Hundreds of kilograms
went from the meeting to the
Senate.
On the East Coast, Roy Wilkins
NAACP Assistant Secretary, sent
a note to Chairman Robert E.
flanagan of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee:
THE Democratic party has pro-
missed the passage of an FEPC
bill and if the party permits a
minority of its members in the
Senate to prevent this bill from
even being considered by the Sen
ate, it is certain that the failure
will be noted by the voters in the
1916 and 1948 elections"
From the time the date and hour
of the cloture vote was announced
the NAACP was in touch by long
distance telephone with Is bran
ches in key political centers.
