P attorney, last Monday, when
she accompanied Thurgood Mar
shall, NAACP Special Counsel. to
the scene of an incipient riot in
front of the recently completed
Air Port Homes in Chicago's So.
Side. The mob had gathered to
protest the arrival of Negro We
terans and their families to take
up occupancy in the apartments
assigned them by the Chicago
Housing Authority in the tax
supported project set up for Chi
cago veterans. Mrs. Perry's ap-
peals to the police for protection
were met with the request to
keep moving" and no action was
taken against the persons who
were threatening and insulting
her. in fact. the police treated her
as a noutsider and did not seem
to feel any conjunction to rebuke
or arrest her antagonists.
The two NAACP lawyers had
rushed to Chicago to investigate
reports of rioting against Negroes
which gave evidence of building
up into a riot of the serious pro
portions of the Detroit riot in '4a
when Negroes attempted to move
into the Sojourner Truth Houses

there would be no racial discrim-

Gals, civic, religious veterans and
labor groups sent kilograms and
delegations to the Mayor and the
Police Department to assure this
pledge being carried out with the
necessary police protection.
Mrs. Perry and Mr.. Marshall
are in close contact with housing
authorities and with civic groups
anxious to prevent a recurrence
of violence against Negro tenants
in this and future city housing
projects, and are giving legal adj

veterans who brayed possible
harm to move into their apart

The two veterans, John r. Fort

relying on police protection to
maintain them in their homes at
present, have spent two nights in
their new homes. Both have wives
who are pregnant, and they look
forward to having them join them
soon, when the danger of physical
violence seems past. The night

( 1t is agreed that the Company

probably because of a heavy rain

still bears watching but now its

Jim Grow and Bread
By COLLIER

The concern of the American
Federation of Labor for the well
fare of minority groups is more
than humanitarian concern for
fellow men.
The DOGGY of bigotry which pits
worker against worker serves
only to divide the solid unity of
organized labor and thus to un-
dermine the working standards of
all. If n group of workers were
to organize to better their work.
ing conditions to the exclusion of
any racial or religious group. the
lower standards of the excluded
group would remain a constant
drag and menace to the standards
of the organized group.
Discrimination takes bread out of
the mouths of all workers!
Intolerance and bigotry are the
tools used to destroy democracy
and impose totalitarfan1sm. Free
labor can exist only in a free
society. To deny minority groups
the freedom to organize into I'M
ions of their own choosing along
with other workers in their trade
is to refute the very principles Of
democracy mandatory to the ex-
istance of free labor unions. ANY
limitations to the freedom of one
group plants the seed that may
grow and ultimately destroy the
freedom of all.
1t is symbolic of the unity of
all workers that the AFL was
formed and led for forty years
by an immigrant Jew, Samuel
Gompers, and that the Fedora
tons name was proposed by Mr..
Grandson, a Negro delegate from
Pittsburgh to the first convention
in 1881.
Of course the record Of Ameri-
can labor has not been without
its blemishes. More than one
strike has been lost and more than
one union broken because the
seed of intolerance was planted
between workers. But with firmly
implanted knowledge drawn from
bitter experiences. American La
Dor has gone foreward, and to-
day it stands as one of the ma
TONS strongest forces opposed to
bigotry and intolerance.
At present, out of 100000
AFL members 100000 are Ne
groes. There is one Negro inter
national union president CA. Phi
lip Randolph, dozens of Negro
international vice presidents, and
thousands of Negro organizers
and local union officials.
1t is indicative of the Fedora
tons struggle to raise the stand
ards of Negro workers that the
international unions which have
the highest proportion of Negro
members afe AFL affiliates: The

tiers which is largely Negro; the
