Vet housing at stake

Veterans this week learned bitter lesson
And Chicago had before it the crassest example of
how hatemongering groups will try to the veterans
for their sinister purposes
Some weeks ago. group of vets moved into the Air
port Homes They had become weary of waiting
some of the leading political figures in the community,
saw their opportunity
They moved in the "squatters" offering legal and
other help in effort the need homes
to their own infamous ends.
They stirred up atmosphere of lynch violence in
the neghborhood = at moment when a Negro family
was about to into the project.
This week that lynch atmosphere was carried right
into the City Council chambers where shameful exhibit
ton took place.
Under the guise of the demand that 'ony neighbour
hood boys be allowed into the Airport Homes they tried
to establish barrier - barrier between Negro
and white vets who fought together the battlefield
Today the City Administration and the Chicago
Housing Authority faced with dilemma. Will they
carry out the established policy at the Airport Homes
assignment of homes the basis of need regardless of
race?
Or will they surrender to the Khan elements?
The vets of Chicago, the entire labor movement and
all people of good will must help make the decision at
Airport Homes.
principle, policy, and precedent at stake
here. jim solution to the Airport Homes crisis
will be defeat for all veterans.

Clarity on coal

To many people, the coal strike has become con-
fusing, bitter, tangled mess.
Blacz-outs, schools and hospitals closing, the daily
heads in the press these things do help make
things clear
But there are few keys to real understanding of
what is taking place.
One is to remember the miners.
The other is to remember the labor movement as
whole.
If these two things borne in mind, this struggle
energies something different from the duel between
the U.S. government and John L. Lewis which reaction
is trying to make of it.
Think for moment about working in the mines
Think about working in one of the most hazardous of all
occupations, under conditions that sap away mans life
and his health.
Think about working 81 hours week in those mines
with the grueng strain heighenng the hazard and the
speedup bringing closer the shadow of death that stalks
every miner.
Think of the miserable mining towns the novels, the
poor sanitation, the inadequate health facilities
These the realities in the mining situation
These and the fact that Big Business today is using
the crisis to intensity its attack the entire labor move
ment
The an-labor injunction the attempt to "starve the
miners OUT the threat of precedensettng repres-
sions and penalties they not directed primarily at
