DRAFTEE5 REFUSE TO SIT
With NEGROES ON VA. BUS

RICHMOND, Virginia, June Is
(ANP)-After one weeks opera.
tion of interstate buses through and
in Virginia following the momen-
tous decision in the Irene Morgan
case invalidating Jim crow travel in
interstate buses, no untoward in
cident had occurred anywhere in
the state. The first incident to at
tract much public attention oc-
Cured at Suffolk.
Twenty three Nansemond
county, Va. white youths enroute
to Richmond for the induction
center got off the Greyhound bus
at Suffolk rather than sit in seats
with Negro passengers. They com
planned that Negro passengers had
occupied more than half of the bus
seats.
M. P. Spivey, who had charge of
the Suffolk inductees and Melvin
Brinkley, leader of the county
group, who joined the Suffolk
group, backed the youths in their
decision to leave the bus. Spivey re-
ported that the men left the bus of
their own accord and that he and
Brinkley followed their action.
Spivey said 1--WE are waiting for
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-06-18

the next bus, but if we have to sit
with Negroes, we will keep on wait
ing"
When two more buses arrived,
the whites faced the same dilemma
but refused to sit beside Negro pas
sengers. When told about the
courts ruling, they still stuck to
their original statement. But fl
nally at II am, four hours after
the inductees were scheduled to de-
part, they took bus in which there
were fewer Negro passengers who
occupied rear seats.
Negro passengers refused to
double up in the first three buses,
although there were sufficient seats
for all if they had followed the old
i'm crow custom.
Immediately after the supreme
courts ruling on interstate bus
travel, the Greyhound and other
bus lines in Virginia operating in
terstate travel took down their jim
crow signs.
In Richmond where the Grey
hound maintains separate waiting
room for the races, all passengers
have for a long time bought tickets
at the same windows. 1t has also
been the custom here for Negro pas
sengers to occupy available seats in
the white waiting room whenever
the colored waiting room is
crowded. The Negro waiting room
is small and uncomfortable in hot
weather with undesirable toilet fa-
cilities, A small hole in the wall
provides the only means for secur-
ing sandwiches and pop for Negro
passengers.

LABOR VIEWS
By George F. McCray

port all measures which bring
greater income and social and eco
nomic security to the masses OF
people. The unions, like the last con-
vention of the porters and recent
confab of the UTSEA merely regis
ter officially the support Of Negro
labor. In America Negro labor is
strongly pro-New Deal, abroad it
is communist or socialist.
A few years ago Negro workers
and white labor leaders charged
that Negroes could not operate
trade union effectively. The alleged
limitations of Negro leaders would
be no match for the cunning and
hostility of white employers.
Today only the Brotherhood of
Railway clerks and the Order of
Railway Conductors, both which
unions which jim crow or bar Ne
groes entirely, would contend that
the porters and the UTSEA have
not been highly successful in pro-
tecting the interest of their mem
bers. This success has been achieved
through the initiative and the
ability of the Negroes themselves.
Numerically the UTSEA and the
porters' union are among the very
smallest organizations in the labor
movement. But the high esteem in
which the CIO regards the United
Transport Service Employees union
is indicated by the fact that the
Highest CIO officials, Philip Muir
ray, James Carey, Clinton S,
Golden, Allen S. Haywood, Walter
Reuther and others, frequently pass
up invitations from larger organi
cations to address Willard Town
sends union Of transport service
employees. Randolph's porters enjoy
somewhat the same status in the
American Federation of Labor.

The CLOS United Transport
Service Employees union headed by
Willard S. Townsend, has just con-
cluded it's fifth biennial convention
in Chicago. The UTSEA and the
AFL's Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car porters headed by A. Philip
Randolph, are the two largest
unions in the United States func-
tioning under predominantly
Negro leadership.
Each organization has claimed
membership of $4,000 workers the
great majority of whom are Ne
groes. A small minority are of
Caucasian and other racial eXtrac-
tions. Each organization triumphed
after long and bitter fight for
the right to exist as distinct unit
of the labor movement and as a
representative of employees in the
railroad industry.
Despite these successes the
UTSEA and the porters unions are
by no means the largest predomi-
nantly Negro labor organizations
in the world. w. Alexander Busta-
nantes industrial trade union in
the West Indian island of Jamaica
is far larger. Larger still is Michael
Imoudu's Railway Workers union
in Nigeria, West Africa. The Niger
ian Trade Union congress with
some 100000 members is undoubt-
edly the largest Negro labor move
ment of record.
Negroes hold key positions in
unions in Cuba, Barbados, Trinidad
and in other West Indian islands.
The same is true of the Guianas and
Brazil in South America, but as in
the West Indies the unions are very
small or are not predominantly
under Negro leadership.
Like the UTSEA and the pull
man porters, organized Negro
workers around the world are a
strong progressive if not a radical
force in their respective communi-
ties. AS a relatively poor people,
Negroes as a group strongly sup

The last half of the seventh

have been impossible for the
