NO STEEL ACTION
JAW To Press Demands
Against Hudson, Packard,
Continental Motors
BY The Associated Press

Henry Ford II announced yes
terday his company had boosted
wages for $4,000 salaried and hour
ly employees Is per cent follow
ing up an 18-cent hourly increase
negotiated with the United Auto
Workers (CIO) last week for pro-
duction workers.
The new group was not cover
ed in the JAW contract, Ford
noted, adding the raise will be re-
troactive to Jan. l and will in
clude 4,335 foremen of the COM
pany transferred from an hourly
to salary basis.
Ford's action was the latest in
a day during which meat industry
workers began sending out sup
plies to fill empty butcher shop
shelves. The CIO-UAW announced
it planned to press wage demands
against Hudson-P ackard, Continen-
tai Motors, and Briggs Manufac-
turning companies comparable to
the Ford and Chrysler increases
negotiated last week.
In addition, the National Labor
Relations board opened hearings
to determine if General Motors

STATES HELPING
FIGHT OVER SPUR

RALEIGH, Jan. 28-(P-Traffie
Director H. M. Nicholson of the
State Utilities Commission said to-
day that if the Interstate Com
merce Commission permits the c.
& o. railroad to build a spur into
new mining territory in Dickinson
County, Va, it would be severe
blow to the Clinchfield railroad,
which supplies North Carolina with
approximately Is per cent of its
coal requirements.
The ICC has already granted the
Clinchfield and the c. & O. per
mission to build branch lines into
the territory, but Clinchfield is
protesting the C. & o. decision.
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia are officially backing up
the Clinchfield road, and had rep
resentatives at hearing held by
the ICC last week in Washington,
Nicholson said. Business interests
from Kinksport, Tenn, also had
representatives to support the
Clinchfield case.
Nicholson explained the Ale
c. & O. and the mining company
in the Dickinson County field.
This state commended that because
of the connection between the rail-
road and the mining company
it was felt most of the coal taken
from the field would be shipped
over the C. & O., which charges
II cents per ton more than the
Clinchfield and serves northern
states. In effect, Nicholson said,
this would choke off one of North
Carolina's coal sources.

Hubbard and the driver, only
riders, started off on the trip. When
they reached Chinquapin the driver
found only Mrs. Hubbard and her
son waiting, instead Of the 80 peo-
pie.
1t seems there was some mistake.
Mrs. Hubbard told the bus driver
she had asked her husband to come
to Wilmington to get a truck to
move some furniture from Chinqua-
pin to Wilmington. So she very
firmly refused to make the trip
back on the bus.
Whereupon, the driver = who
hadn't yet collected his fare - IN
sisted that Hubbard accompany
him back to Wilmington. On the
run back, the conversation became
somewhat involved between HUB
bard and the driver so the driver
stopped by Wallace and conferred
with Mayor Aubrey Harrel and
Policeman P. H. Squires, of Wal
lace. The Mayor sent Squires along

major worries. This danger is not

of these men are now being tongue

understand the deep Importance of

doubtedly find themselves Under
terrific pressure. The temptation
to join a ''back-to-work" movement
to break the strikes in rebellion
against Union leadership is prob
ably very strong-what with the
federal government agreeing to
make whatever losses are sustained
by big corporations.

RACE RELATIONS GROUP NEEDED HERE

Every city the size of Dayton or
larger needs a commission on race
relations similar to Chicago's,
Thomas H. Wright declared yes
terday at the "Race Relations Sun
day" observance in Wayman AME
church.
Wright, executive secretary of
Mayor Edward J. Kelly's race re-
lations committee, addressed ap-
proximately 500 persons. Guest
speaker was Mayor Edward G.
Breen.
when Lincoln freed the slaves,
he thought the battle of racial
equality was over," Wright said. AS
a matter of fact, it has just begun.
If we're not careful in this coun-
try, we will lose the battle of de-
mocracy at home.
"We know the atomic bomb can
finish civilization, but it has to be
controlled" the speaker continued.
"The race question contains just
as much dynamite in it's field as
the bomb"

workers or their wives made a mis-
cradle failure of trying to start a
strike breaking "back to work"
movement at plants of the General
Motors Corp. Similar attempts
with strong newspaper support,
are certain to be made again and
again as long as the strikes last.
We can expect new crop of vio-
lence, bloodshed, hatred and preju-
dice directed against any group of
workers who attempt to break pic
ket lines.
Even few Negroes seen break
ing a strike will not only reinforce
old prejudice and fears, but lay the
ground work for future recrimina-
tions and determinations against
Negro workers. The high visibility
of dark skin in a white setting is
most noticeable. Moreover it is far
easier to condemn and hatea Negro
strike breaker. These resentments
are held far longer against Ne
groes than against other workers.
This dangerous strategic po-
sition in which the Negro worker
finds himself in strikes, make it alb
solutely necessary that Negroes
turn a deaf ear to all so-called
"back-to-work" movements. Negro
participation in them will DESTROY
everything the Negro people have
gained in the last few years
through participation in the labor
movement.
