"A Peace Officer Place
In Minority Problems
BY an lnterraciaI Officer

II is my purpose to discuss the
role of the peace officer in deal
ing with group tensions that may
arise out of prejudice against ra-
eial and religious minorities. 1t is
the function of all peace officers
to maintain law and order. In
times OF group tensions, the abili.
ty OF the peace officer to prevent
or to crush disorders will depend
upon his own attitude toward the
minorities involved and upon the
attitude of the minority groups to
the officers.
The best rule of conduct for
any officer is to be equally cour-
teous to all The majority de-
mands it; the minority is entitled
to il. The best possible way of
dealing with disorders is to pre-
vent them, and most of the in
terests OF an officer should be in
prevention. Much has been writ
ten on group disorders. but we
cannot escape the fact that pre-
yention is still far more desirable
than any number OF cures.
Recent so-called race riots" in
some of our American cities re-
vealed that official discrimination
against a partisan group involved
In the riots added fuel to the
fires and made bad matters worse.
In other communities where SINH
lar disorders occurred, law and
order were restored only because
officials maintained an impartial
and understanding attitude, fully
protecting the rights of all.
Fortunate, indeed, is the mu-
which has officials who
recognize the rights of minorities
in the face of powerful opposi
ton and the rage of partisan
groups blind with hatred. 1t takes
courage and it takes intelligence |
of high order. Both are inspired
by proper concept of what con-
stitutes true Americanism. We
are fortunate indeed in having
just this type of officials in King |
County.
A properly instructed and
trained officer can often prevent
violence and outbreaks between
groups. Such instructions should
begin with the new officers. There
should be no thought of differ

FRATERNAL OPPORTUNITIES
Gin Seattle)

One of the qualities that lift
men above the rest of the animal
Kingdom is the power of PLAN
MING and ORGANIZING for GER
tain ACCOMPLISHMENT! When
that power or quality is neglected
or abused, men become divided !;
and as individuals, however eff
cient, stand at their lowest point
of usefulness to themselves and
to society.
Minority groups in Seattle and
the Pacific misunderstanding
the Negro American-have reason
TO keep this fact in mind. not SO
much for defensive reasons-as in
other sections of America, but for
the growth and progress that is
expected of all groups in this
postwar period and in order to
keep pace and participate in the
new program of development for
the Pacific Northwest.
We have in Seattle and the
Northwest area probably fewer
fraternal organizations htan many
other sections personally known
by this writer; but these few
even with their present facilities
have "A wonderful opportunity
for unhampered accomplishment!
Social welfare, specific education
al campaigns and interracial coop
Grafton, industrial and economic
aid-and the like.
All offer wide fields of endea-
vor and the need just now is
acute.
We have some praise for work
already done or being done along
these lines--but the many tasks
to be accomplished are so much
bigger than the efforts now being
put forth that we are afraid some
body is seriously Understanding
the job.
Also, there are some internal
difficulties and retardants In ouI
fraternal circles that might stand
lots of improvement. Petty ieal'

Transit Workers Meet
In New York Tonight
To Set Strike Dafe
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Millions of
New Yorkers who depend on city
transit lines were faced today with
the prospect of being left without
transportation by a walkout of the
men who run the .subways, street.
cars, elevated trains and buses of
the municipal transportation sys-
tenn.
Michael ]. Quill, city councilman
and president Of the CIO Transport
Workers Union, set 7 o'clock Anight
as the time when he would ask a
union meeting to set a date for a
strike of the city's $4,000 transit
operators unless the Board of
Transportation agrees TO union de
mands. These include a referen-
dunn on the proposed sale OF city
power plants which supply most of
the electricity for operation of
transit lines.
The union also wants a $2-a-day
wage increase and what Mr.. Quill
termed an "up-to-d date" union con-
tract that would include a union
shop, but he described these de-
mands as secondary"
Mr.. Quill contends it would cost at
least $4,000, 900 more a year to pur-
chase the power than to rebuild the
plants-also under consideration OF
the board
The board has taken the view that
modernization of the plants would
entail prohibitive costs, but withheld
final decision. Cost of the proposals
under study range from SIS 900, ,0OC
to $104, 100000, the board said.
