Let's Face IT,.
BY A. l.. Johnson

Since freedom, the Negro has
made a creditable showing in the
business field. Starting with pract-
ically nothing, a few skilled work
men, no capital, the group has
amassed fortunes, created enter
prises which furnished employ
ment for thousands, and has sup
piled through manufacture the
needs of the race m k e t.
Throughout this period of growth
tn business man capitalized on a
"Patronize Negro Business slogan.
| There is a consciousness every
where of this necessity to spend
money within the group. The only
chance We have for economic adj
vancement is through this method.
Who else would support our cafe,
barbershop, insurance and burial
| concerns?
While such a policy is vital to
/ our very existence, some phases
of the problem often escape our
attention. Some of our needs can
be secured at present only through
those business establishments
owned or controlled by whites. In
these instances we must remem-
Der those who give our people en-
ployment. More than the mental
tasks should be expected as re-
wards for our patronage. "Spend
your dollar where you can get
job" is becoming the new slogan.
On several occasions, the writer
has been served in the shops of
Jackson by Negro clerks, along
Capitol street.
Concerns which contribute gen.
erously to help support our caus-
es should also be remembered. A

is always listed among the donors
to our church, school and civic
drives. (Just as important is a
concerted effort on our part to
weed out the welchers, leechers,

themselves as solicitors for worthy

newspapers, the Jackson Advocate
for instance, make possible the
continuance of this service. When
we walk isto a store which places
an ad in our newspapers, let US
mention it to the proprietor. Thus,
we greatly serve our own bushes.

here of three cases which show
other ways this principle works.

tie score, starting at the top.

ice on the bass of Their aptitude,
army and civilian background, the

ference.
If qualified physically, the can
didate takes an intelligence test,
which, if passed, is followed by a
'self-rating" written test.
After qualifying in these tests
he is submitted to an evaluation
by a non-commissioned officer,
who in the opinion of the immedi-
ate superior commissioned offic-
er is best qualified to make such
an evaluation based on the fire.
quency of daily contact and the
supervisory relationship between
the non-commissioned officer and
the applicant. In the case of ap-
plications from non-coms of the
higher grades, the evaluation re-
port will be taken from a COM
missioned officer.
After the eyaluation rating has
been compiled the applicant will
be given a sealed envelope con-
tanning his original and duplicate
application properly Endorsed and
the score sheet of the evaluation
report, and ordered to the near
est officer review board where he
will be evaluated again for selec-
ton.

price of S., 500, 900, and a smaller

BRIDCERS CLIPPED
BY MURRAY RULING
Clio Head Takes Away
Part OF Labor Lead
er's Influence

WASHINGTON, July 49, up -
CLIO President Philip Murray
Thursday took away part Of Harry
Bridges influence over California
labor unions, and Bridges future
position in the California CLIO be-
came obscured in a strange series
of mix-ups.
Bridges, who is prominently
identified with the CLOS left wing,
has been serving as CLIO regional
director for California. He is also
president of the CLIO Longshore-
mems union and co-chairman Of
the Committee for Maritime unity.
This is what happened Thursday:
l. Murray announced he had de-
cided to split the CLIO California
region into two administrative
units - an action that would re-
move Southern California from
Bridges jurisdiction.
2. Murray told reporters the &C
ton docs not reflect on Mr..
Bridges integrity" and said he
understood Bridges would remain
as director of the Northern Cali
fornia region, with headquarters
at San Francisco.
3. Bridges office in San Fran
cisco announced that Bridges had
resigned as California regional di-
rector. The announcement said
Bridges had issued a statement
in Washington, in which he said
he was resigning Gin order that the
state of California may have two
full-time paid regional directors
for CO."
4. Half an hour later, the San
Francisco office contradicted its
previous announcement, saying
1--WE have just contacted Mr..
Bridges in Washington and learned
that he did not announce he was
submitting mis- resignation"
Whether this meant Bridges had
decided to remain as Northern
California director - as Murray
said was not clear.
