Birmingham Transportation
The poorest transportation in
Toledo is found on the Front st.
bus line. The Community Trac-
ton Co. does not seem to care
what kind of busses are used or
how many. The citizens who
have to use this line to go to
and ON work are get
ting plenty peeved at the way
the buses are run. 1t seems to
many out in this neighborhood
where a lot of w. o. members
live, that the BUSES are getting
dingier every day and the way
they break down is a caution.
What we want is more busses
and better buses kept on sched-
ule. Why not write letter to
the Traction Co. and tell them
just what you think of their
service.

We read in the morning paper
that certain politicians have pre-
dicted Hoover's idea here in To-
ledo. That if the payroll tax is
defeated by the voters of Toledo
the grass will grow in the
streets, street lights will have to
be shut off and that the police
and fire forces reduced.
The longer the citizens have
to put up with this nonsense the
smarter they get. They claim
that only CIO members signed
the petitions. People from all
walks of life signed them be-
cause they all believe taxes
should be based on ability to
pay.
When seven men think they
can shove a tax bill like this
down the throats of the citizens
of Toledo without giving them
a chance to vote on it, they have
aDOlH6 guess COIlllAlS'
We should be thankful that we
have an aggressive leader like
Dick Gosser whose initiative
made a vote on the tax possible.
We hope PAC will get the
many returned GTs and their
friends to register and vote so
we can show those cheap poll
itcians what the people think.
If YOU are not registered, go
to 217 Superior ST., next to the
Esquire Theatre (the Board of
Elections) and take care of it.
We understand since Chas.
Heebsh, Dept. 401 gave up his
riding ponies, he is now buying
wild unbroken mustangs from
Texas. He is having hard time
transporting them here as they
kick the Stats off the cars. But
that isn't the worst part of it,
he cannot get them snubbed
down to the snorting post to look
at their teeth to find out how
old they are. For a pony that
no one can ride, contact Chuck
and he will be glad to take you
out to his ranch to look them
over.

The
.Acklinite
By Edwin Herroon

1t has been quite awhile since
your reporter has had anything
in the Journal, and no excuses
offered, even for the present
news.
Negotiations on the contract
and wages have been rather
slow due to the conditions of the
major concerns. When their
problems are settled then Acklin
will be able to negotiate on a
similar basis.
There is much talk and dis.
Sention among the people or
wages at Acklin and rightly so
for the people are no. making a
living wage under the present
40-hour week and inflated prices
which are not supposed to exist.
Remember Rome was not built
in a day and when the time is
right we will get just increase
in wages with full backing from
our Local.
At the last meeting a sugges-
ton was made to propose dol
lar fine at the next meeting for
non-sttendance.
/ wonder when the ventilat-
ing system will be improved.
With locked windows, oil and
grease smoke becomes as prev
alant as the air we breathe,
there should be no creaky joints
with all the oil smoke, let's do
some complaining until we get
something done about it.
At the end of this month Mar
tin Backli will take over this
column. Good luck Martin and
lots of cooperation. Thanks for
your consideration while l was
in.

he should practice the American

he has any.

THE NEW MIGRATION OF SOUTHERN
NEGROES, WHY?

There is new and developing migration OF Negroes
from the state and the deep south going on Its effects
are benq felt by the added strain and burden being placed
upon the social agencies and organisms in the larger ees
in areas outside of the south
Concerned with the increasing number OF Negro MI
grants coming that city the New York Herald Tribune
one of the notions Leading doies few days ago sent
one Of it's top observers and writers tour OF certain sec
tions of the SOUTH including Mississippi in an effort to de-
termine and report the of this new and widening
miqrotion of Southern Negroes.
We doubt most seriously the view held in some quart
ers to the effect that migration going is mani
festoon Of some of the mony implications in the meehon'
zotion of southern agriculture particularly cotton and
sugar
While the mechonizotion Of southern agriculture may
now be looked upon acknowledged fact the full I'M
pcoton are yet to far in the future to be seen and under
stood by the masses of Negroes who form such migro-
tory movement
What the masses Of Negroes do understand and teel
however sense of insecurity Of fear which they
find in the recent political compogns and in the recent IN
cdents of violence and brutoIy towards Negro people,
and in what appears them the complete breakdown
Of law enforcement and complete breakdown and failure
Of the Jury system where the rights and protection OF Ne
gro citizens are evolved
Those people in Mississippi and in the deep south who
plan to invest in the future industrial Development OF the
stote and Of the south should look we'll at this move
ent Of NEGROES out Of the and the south seems
tte to say hot Mississippi ond in the rest OF the SOUTH

SOMETHING ABOUT THE Apo OINTMENT OF
NEGRO POLICEMEN

Over in Little Rock Arkansas the other day the city
authorities onnouced new addition to the number Of Me-
gro policemen which by has just about triped since
the first Negro policemen added to the force some
three or four years ago.
The reason for the addition of the officers is said
to be mainly coupe with the situation resulting from
growing number of delinquent Negro youth.
In other areas of law enforcement the Negro police
men in Little Rock have oreody justified their appointment
as here as in other places in the South where Negroe po
cement have been recently appointed there has followed
marked reduction in the cost of law enforcement in the
Negro Community with great boost in the morale and
spirit of the Negro Community.
In Jackson with teen-oge Negro youth seen every
where up and down the streets during school hours, and
with almost dolly showing in the police court of tenn-oged
Negro youth charged with crime WIDELY the result of de-
nquenoy the appointment of Negro policemen would be
bound to have healthy effect not only regards curb
ing Negro uvne crime but also upon the spirit and NOR
ole of the entire Negro community.
