Frank Barnes
Making Record
At Los ANGELES

Frank Henry Barnes of Santa
Monica, California, but formerly
of this city, revisited the city
last week and while around
dropped in at the STATE PRESS
to take out two-year subscrip-
ton. M. Barnes is the only
Negro on the Community Chest
Board of Santa Monica. In
addition he is a member of the
Interracial Committee of Los
Angeles County, and the vice
president of the Santa Monica
Branch of the NAACP. He is
employed as a clerk carrier in
the Santa Monica post office.
The local citizens will remem-
Der Barnes as finishing Dunbar
High School in 1881. He left
the same year and attended the
University of Cincinnati in the
same year. After finishing the
junior college department there,
he went to Santa Monica in 1884.
Because of the demand for Negro
technicians in the radio field, he
started studying radio and tele-
vision two years ago. He will
finish this course on June %.
He has married a Santa Monica
girl and now has little son
seven years old-Frank Barnes,
Jr. While here he was the guest
of many friends.
S. M. NAACP ACTIVE
Barnes gave a glowing account
of the activity and achievements
of the Santa Monica NAACP.
Particularly impressive has been
the record of this body in con-
with progress in the Santa
Monica School System. The
school system in general has been
letting the liberal teachers 60
and hiring the Southern type who
will mistreat the minorities. AL
ready books presenting prejudice
favorably have been banned from
use in libraries. In the schools
located in the Negro districts,
standards of structure and equip
ment and teacher personnel have
been raised. Several teachers
have been caused to resign
Negro boys and girls were forced
to take bath every day at sew
eral of the schools some time
back, he stated. This was seem
ingly because of their race alone.
The old NAACP with reactionary
leadership did nothing about this,
but with the election of a young
and progressive president, Rev.
w. P. Carter, the organization
was reorganized and one of the
first accomplishments was the
stoppage of this discriminatory
practice. This was done by OBJ
tanning 500 signatures to a petit
ton protesting the practice and
presented the petition at the
board with mass attendance. The
board Immediately voted to elm
mate the baths and to repaint
and redecorate the schools to
meet the approval of the NAACP.
AT the same meeting, members of
the organization were asked to
form committee to report to
the Board at any time matters
needed adjustment.
Recently new Charter type
of city government has been pro-
jected and the NAACP has been
called into consultation in that
connection.

Open Aztec Gardens Series

/ The resumption of the summer
series In the Aztec gardens Of the
Pan American Union last night drew
an invited audience to the spacious
outdoor auditorium. filling it to ca

composers from South American re-

gram given by the Army Band, I'M
der the direction of Chief Warrant
Officer Hugh Curry and Rino de

young singer who is successful ra-

piano by Michael Rosco.
Such famous names as those of

bands spiritless performance.

here for the first time. possesses
much of that charm which forms a

included Velazquezs "Besame

lan's "Tu y Yo" and Heitman's
'Lamparita Votiva,' disclosed a
pleasing voice, obedient to the die
tates of her mind and emotion. Her
phrasing had artistic finish and
went hand in had with the text, to

From The Desk
of
Melvin Schultz
President,
President,
Local II, UAW.CIO

The following statement has been brought
to my attention:
ION this Labor Day, 1946 American Labor
has the greatest opportunity and yet is con.
fronted with the most serious challenge in its
history.
Whether or not Labor and the people will
meet the challenge and realize the opportunity
that this Labor Day holds out depends in
large measure upon what they do in the short
two months remaining before the national elec.
tons on November 5, 1916.
At no time has organized Labor been
stronger or better equipped to perform the
tasks before 1t. Its achievements in the year
since VI Day have been outstanding On the
economic front, it beat back the attacks of big
business which sought to destroy it and In
series of historic strike struggles, won essen
tial wage increases and not only maintained
but strengthened it's organizations. On the le.
gislative front, it defeated a series of efforts
calculated to outlaw Labor Unions and to rob
the workers of America of their only weapon,
their organized strength.
While Labor's attention was concentrated
on these great battles for its very existence
the forces of reaction opened up new fronts in
their war against the people, At their bidding
the tory coalition, which dominated the 10Th
Congress- scutted all effective price controls
AS result, the wage increases won by Labor
have already been wiped out by price increases
and the value of social security benefits, pen
Sions and savings have been disastrously cut
Unless arrested, the tide of initiation which the
vested interest bloc in Congress has thus un-
loosed will undermine the living standards of
the people and bring the nation to the depths
of another depression far worse than that of
1929.
This Congressional betrayal of the interests
of the people was parallel In every other
field of vital legislative need. The reactionary
coalition took no action to meet our desperate
need for housing, public health, adequate social
security and decent minimum wages. Confront
ed with a new wave of fascist terror directed
primarily against the Negro people, but aimed
at all minority groups the Congress filibust-
cred the Fair Employment Practices and Anti
Poll Tax Bills and failed to take action to halt
the lynch terror sweeping the land.
The deepest desire of the workers, together
with all the common men and women of our
land, is for stable peace in the world and a
secure and plentiful America Our country is
rich in all the resources required for these
goals.
If America is to realize the great goals
for which we fought, the goals toward which
Franklin D. Roosevelt led us during his life
then the course pursued by the unlamented
10th Congress must be sharply reversed by its
successor. Labor and the common people have
the power to reverse it. The successes already
achieved in the 1916 primary campaigns re-
affirm this basic political truth.
Labor's 1946 political tasks are clear"

Regional
Views
By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B. UAW-ClO

In looking over the wage increases which
have been granted throughout this region to
the members of the UAW-CIO we can see that
more than Is million dollars year additional
money has gone into the workers pockets.
When you say is million dollars, it sounds
like lot of money and it is, but nobody is
going to argue with me on this - it isn't as
much money now as it was when the raises
were given.
Money paid to the workers in wages can
only be measured in the things it will purchase
for them, The dollars which the workers are
receiving today while it may amount to more
doesn't purchase the same amount of goods
which 1t did six months ago.
What good is a wage increase Of few dol
lars week when the price of meat, butter,
vegetables and all foodstuffs increases out of
all proportion to the wage increases? Price in
creases without wage increases means a cut
in the real wages of the workers. And that is
what has happened in the past few months,
particularly since June 80.
PLAN
We recognize that behind the price in.
creases which have taken place and which the
Office of Price Decontrol is still granting,
there lies master plan of the manufacturers
to put the squeeze on labor We are fully
aware that when we again make wage demands
based upon the needs of the workers for
decent standard of living that the manufactur.
ers will scream to the high heavens for price
relief and blame labor for forcing up prices
because of their wage requirements
This situation which we are now faced with
Is being blamed on the wage demands made by
labor following the close of the war when
overtime pay stopped and the workers of the
country took what amounted to 80 per cent
cut In their wages. Does anybody think that
the wage increases which were given labor
have not been completely wiped out by the
price raises which have occurred since the first
Of the year?
CIO has asked that the prices which existed
on commodities before June 80 under the iuris.
diction of OPA be restored. Failing to accom-
plish this, there can be no alternative except
to again demand higher wages and to again
insist, as we did before, that wage increases
can be granted without raising the price of
commodities.
While we are waiting to see II anything Is
going to be done for labor by rolling back
prices to the June 80 level, everyone could do
their part by not buying more than they must
have to get by and letting the surplus, par.
ticularly of foods, force down the prices don't
think this Is the complete answer to our probl.
lem, but 1t would help until something is done
to help us, or until we decide that we must
take the initiative and help ourselves.

Maud Brown

Gladys Maud Brown, member of the
Willys-Overland Unit of Local IL was not
a spectacular person. Quiet, and reserved,
she worked quietly and efficiently both
as a worker for the corporation in whose
employ she toiled for Fl years, and in the
union of which she was a charter men,
ber.
AS member and officer of her Unit,
Mrs. Brown was called upon many times
to come TO the aid of her fellow members
who were in distress. And she always
responded, not coldly or mechanically,
but with deep and warm sympathy born
of understanding and compassion for
those who needed help.
Maud Brown typified the spirit of her
union and brought to her work in the
plant and her duties on the welfare
committee the principles of true charity
and fraternity. The union which was en-
riched by her unselfish service and kind
ness is poorer because of her passing, but
the influence of the example which she
leaves behind will bring to those who
knew her a determination to serve as she
served and to remember that the spirit of
true unionism is spiritual as well as mate
rial.

What Is
Democracy?
fa~k kHa~Ex
BY Ruth TAYLOR

ny NUN AdyAOL
We all believe in democ-
racy. But just what does the
word mean to us. What is
your definition?
At a meeting of business
agents recently, one of them
gave definition which I
think is a fine Interpretation
OF the word, Democracy Is
tn at form of government
Which is run by responsible
group from the majority-but
with the actual participation
of all minorities.
The advantage of this def
milton is that it clearly de-
fines the duties of both
groups. The majority elects
the leadership-but it has no
right to ride rough shod over
the will or the rights of any
minority. The majority has
the responsibility for action,
but no right to revenge itself
upon those who disagree with
them. 1t is as much of duty
for the majority to work with
the minority as it is for them
to carry out the expressed
wishes OF their own group.
The minority has a duty,
too-that of giving fullest CO.
operation to the majority, even
while holding firm to their
own beliefs. They have the
right to make every effort to
convert the majority to their
own way of thinking, but they
must do this by reasoning and
argument, not by force, and
they have no right to become
a stumbling block in the way
Of progress.
Democracy implies that men
will get together to find a
common meeting ground for
their opposing view points.
Since each man has the right
to speak, there should be no
offense taken at difference OF
opinion. Democratic discussion
should be conducted not only
in a spirit of tolerance and
fair play-but with full rec
ognition of the basic fact that
there are more things upon
which men of good will are
agreed than there are points
of disagreement. Democracy
is not compromises is coop
erative action.
You as labor men believe in
democracy. Your unions are
run according to the demo-
cratic principles. Democracy
is the life blood of the Organ
lied Labor movement. When
the lights of democracy are
dimmed, Labor goes into serv-
itude.
What is your definition Of
democracy? 1 wish you men
throughout the country would
discuss this in your Central
Labor Bodies and in your To-
Gals and let me know what the
voice of Labor says to this
question. I've an idea we'd
really find the answer!

prize. They've developed the

on every street car bell, every
