Vann Says State
Should Enact
Workman S Law

Carl Vann, Pascagoula insur-
ance man, explained to the Rotary
Club at their luncheon Wednes-
day at the South Elementary
School cafeteria why the Mis-
sissippi legislature should follow
Europe, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska,
the Panama Canal Zone and the
remaining forty-seven states OF
the union in the enactment OF a
workmen's compensation law.
The local club has been asked
to join other Rotary clubs in the
state to request action on the
matter bv the current legisla-
ture and the eoneensus seems
TO be that they will do so although
all of Wednesdays meeting was
taken up in the able explana-
ton of the issue.
The principle Of passing the
cost of industrial accidents to the
consumer bv standardizing the
benefits paid injured employees
was conceived in Germany in
1884, Mr.. Vann said, and spread
over Europe. A federal law of
the same nature was passed in
the United States in 1908 and
Arkansas, the last remaining state
besides Mississippi, passed such
a law in 1889.
Mr. Vann explained that Mis-
sissippi now has only law based
on an ancient Anglo Saxon Com
mon Law which results in suits
for injuries often being settled by
| emotioal rather than logical
methods. The maneuvering of
lawyers, unframed jurors, and
the lack of a fixed method of de-
termining damages frequently re-
suits in unjust settlements, eth
er excessive to the company or
unfair to the injured man, he
said.
He said the workman's com
pensation law is a social welfare
law, recognizing that accidents
will happen in modern industry
in spite of every effort, and fix
ing the responsibility on the COM
munity.

cept Elmer Benson, Thye has shown
evidence Of interest In the problems
Of the Negro. On the other hand
despite his favorable votes in the
Senate, Mr.. Shipstead has never
raised his voice in the Congress in
protest when the professional
Southerners have unfairly attacked
the American Negro citizen.
Thye Is In favor Of international
cooperation as represented by the
United Nations. Senator Shipstead
is against the United Nations. The
world today needs the u. N. for
peace and the little people Of the
world need u. N. for protection
from the big nations. Many Of
our American white brothers have
become interested In the problem
Of the American Negro chiefly be-
cause Of the possible effect our do
mestic racial policies would have
on our international reputation.
Since we now live in zone World"
whether some Of US like II or not
we must elect men to the u. s. SEN
ate who are in step with the timers
and who will not obstruct efforts
towards building a world organiza-
ton, for permanent peace. Only a
strong organization will insure
peace for the generations TO come.
Thye is for such an organization.
Shipstead Is not.

What We Won in World War
Two Isn't Quite Clear Yet

be far removed from the path Of
the Nazi tornado when it was
strong and we were weak. We are
conquerors because, by the grace of
God, we were not conquered. We
are arrogant because we have not
been humbled by defeat. We are
the winners because we did not
lose, but what, in the language Of
everyday living, have we wont
Is it the right to know that we
suffer less while most Of the world
suffers more7 Is it the satisfaction
that we conquered in the name Of
Democracy without having to ex-
tend the elusive principle to those
we fear or do not like! Is it q
taller stature among the nations Of
the world in consequence Of which
we must be in a constant state Of
nervous and frightened prepared
ness7 Is it the right to revive
the night-riding Khan terrOrists, or
to shove a man and his family into
a ghetto because his skin Is the
wrong color, or his religion based
upon a philosophy different from
ours? Is it the right TO break a
strike by Presidential order, or the
privilege to eat less bread so that
there can be more cake and pastry?
We must have won something be-
cause we killed more enemy soldiers
and laid waste more enemy ter
ritory, thus causing our adversaries
to quit. The question is how can
we translate our winnings into
every day signs and symbols that
ordinary people can see and under

Thye Is Preferable to Shipstead

Negroes who vote in the Repubh-
can primary July s, have to choose
between Henrik Shipstead and
Edward Thye for the U. s. Sena-
torial nomination.
In Shipstead they have a man
who has served without too much
distinction or real accomplishment
IN the Senate for years but who
has voted for anti-poll tax legisla-
ton. anti-lynching legislation and
for FEPC. Under ordinary eircum-
stances such a record on things Of
importance 10 the Negro voter
would make support Of Shipstead
mandatory by Negro Republican
voters but his opponent, Governor
Thye, has IN our opinion better
record Of real interest IN the prob
lem Of minority groups In general.
Thye not only Is for FEPC but
he exhibited courage and foresight
BY setting up In this state shortly
after the Detroit riots an Inter-
racial Commission which has quiet
ly done a very good job In the In
terests Of fair play for the minority
groups In Minnesota. The commits
sion's publications Of a 81 page
pamphlet "The Negro Worker In
Minnesota" has been Of great as
sistance In the task Of creating
job onportunities for Minnesota Ne
gro workers.

Last September, when the last

Reading Terminal Market in Phila-

thousands Of women, and men, too,
in line at the stands trying TO buy
meat, but there was no meat. 1t
was the same way with bread. The
only bread | saw on the market
was unwrapped bread or hard
bread, pumpernickel bread. The
same thing applies to the stands
where butter should have been
sold. Is this the America we used
to know? The shortage has been
caused by the black market pro-
duced by 0PA."-REP. GROSS,

detail, but, an official report Of the
meeting Just made public shows
that neither one said a mumbling
word to the bigwigs about the use
Of colored veterans in the building
trades.
The setup was perfect. Manage.
ment was there in the persons Of
men like W. ]. Barney, chairman
of the Associated General Con-
tractors Of America; G. s. Stuart,
executive director of the Painting
and Decorating Contractors Of
America, and Clarence J. Meyer,
national secretary of the Sheet
Metal Contractors National As
ISOLATION. For labor there were men
like NJ. A. Hutchinson, first general
vice president Of the United Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners;
Elmer Spahr, treasurer Of the
Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers
International Union, and Marion H.
Hedges, director Of research Of the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers.
Government was represented by
William F. Patterson director Of the
Apprentice Training Services for
the Labor Department.
Maybe Mr.. Wyatt had already
talked it over with the building
trades representatives before the
meeting-maybe he didn't feel the
time was ripe-maybe he has talked
it over with them since then
maybe. But there is no maybe in
the fact that colored veterans are
being systematically excluded from
the apprentice trades and on-the-
job-training for the better jobs BY
both management and labor-and
you did promise to talk with those
people about it, didn't you. Mr.
Wyatt!

show. On the surface, it appears
that we are engaged in such i'm
portant world affairs as the DISPOSE
ton Of the secret Of atomic energy
and peace terms and conditions that
will endure, but actually we are
more concerned about the low quail
ity Of our evaporated milk, and
the lack Of purity and freshness in
the food we eat daily.
We relaxed our vigilance out of
necessity during the war, and try
as we might, we cannot get back to
the high level again. Cheating and
dishonesty are the top virtues of
the moment, and, "let the buyer
beware" has been revived as a ma
tional slogan. Our government
which has never dared TO interfere
with the sadistic excursions Of q
lynch mob, granted permission to
tamper with the butter-fat content
Of whole milk, and with one author
itArian stroke, took the cream out
Of our coffee. Short weights are
the mode Of the moment, and ice
cream buyers get fraction Of the
full measure for which they pay.
Housewives with sugar ration
coupons go without, while human
hogs with little conscience and
much cash, lay up stores Of the
stuff without recourse to ration
coupons. It Is not what these things
are in themselves that matter, 1t
is what they reflect. In the things
that give and make life, It Is every
man for himself, and the devil take
the hindmost. There is no longer
the feverish attempt to prove that
all will be well when the Negro
recognizes the truth Of his low
estate and stays there; it is not
so much the color Of a mans skin
as II is the color Of his money.
Should you suffer the terrible
pangs of ptomaine from eating a
piece Of improperly inspected and
improperly refrigerated pork, at
tribute II TO the current American
passion for making a great profit
In a great hurry. We talk Of the
black market as though II were a
new and formidable branch Of our
national economy, and we admit
that butter does not reach the
open market because the black
marketeers have money that talks
faster and stronger. We are afraid
to control prices for the benefit
of the millions Of our under-paid
and under-fed brothers, because the
strong money bloc will yell about
the nick in their profits. We dare
not openly take the lid off prices
because those who will be gouged
have votes, so we slowly emAsculate
price controls and slip it to them
easy.
Leaving our own house In shame
less disorder we send our big brains
to tell the rest of the world how
TO build for peace on the American
plan. We pull the curtain over the
hungry emaciated millions in our
own land while we send our best
cameras to record the emaciated
victims of starvation in Europe and
Asia, thus by subtle comparison,
showing our own little victims how
much better off they happen to be.
We plead for international Jus
tice almost at the very moment
when the highest tribunal Of Justice
in our own land is clouded by
political pickering. We are the
Spokesman for the new century be-
cause we had the money and the
,.nnnnrrna and the unnd fortune to
