Green Suid
Negroes Hit
Hard By TIL
Supporters OF Bill
Voted Against FEPC

Kansas City, Mo.-UPA)- The
impact of the Taft Hartley law is
especially severe on the nations
Negro workers, AFL President
William Green told a mass meeting
of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters-AFL here this week.
Emphasizing that Regardless of
the denials of its sponsors, the law
does sanction slave labor, involun-
tary servitude," Green declared
at seems to me that Negro work
ers must, of necessity, view with
the deepest suspicion any slave la
Dor enactment. The evils of slave
labor are still too fresh in their
miris to be regarded with any
thing but abhorrence.
"The smooth propaganda artists
responsible for the Taft Hartley
law" Green asserted, "are also try
ing to convince the Negroes that
the law protects them from dis
elimination in hiring and firing. |
am surprised to learn that the
Natl Negro Newspapers Associa-
tion recently became victimized by
such propaganda, because it is not
true. The Taft Hartley Act is in
terested solely in protecting non
union, scab labor and strikebreak-
ers from discrimination. 1t does not
actually propose to eliminate dis
elimination based on color, race, re-
ligion or national ancestry"
The only law which can do this
job, Green continued, will be a Fair
Employment Practices Act. He
pointed out that the Congression-
al record shows that 20 Democratic
Senators joined AZ Republicans to
override the Taft Hartley veto, and
every one of these Democratic Sen
ators represented southern states
and every one blocked passage of
the FEPC bill.
"Here is another way in which
the Hartley Act especially i'm
jures the Negro workers." Green
said. "The AFL has been conduct
ing an intensive organizing cam
paign in the south. Many thousands
of Negro workers have joined AFL
unions during the drive, bringing
the total Negro membership in our
to well over 100000.
One union in particular, the Natl
Farm Labor u, ,ol. which is or
tenant farmers, share
croppers, and itinerant agricultur-
al workers, has almost doubled its
membership.
"These newer unions, which con-
tain large percentage of Negro
will be hardest hit by the
Taft Hartley Act hacsuse they are
still young and comparatively weak.
1t is tragic that organized labor's
efforts to lift the standard of iv-
ing Of these undcrprivileged work
ers should be restricted and re-
pressed by such obnoxious and
heartless legislation"

AFL's Textile Workers
Issue Guide To Taft Law

Washington, ID. C.-The AFL's
United Textile Workers issued a
timely and informative guide for
the use of UTW locals faced with
the need of conducting union bus
mess under the now fully effective
Taft Hartley law.
The guidebook was prepared by
the UTW's research department
under the direction of Benjamin
Haskell, UTW Research and Pub
licity Director.
In layman's language, the pub
lication gives brief analysis in
point point fashion of the laws
curbs and restrictions on various
types of union activity. There is
also included a section outlining
the pitfalls and snares placed in
the law for the unwary trade un-
ionist with recommendation as to
the procedure to be followed in
avoiding them.

Safeguards Cost Too
Much, Say Railroads

Safeguarding of the life and
limb of passengers and employees
costs too much money.
That's what the railroads are
telling the l. c. C. as they continue
to dodge the Commissions effort to
install appropriate safety devices
for high-speed passenger and
freight operations.
Petitions to further stall off the
order issued by the commission
last June have now come from
more than 80 carriers. All are op-
posed by the Standard Railroad
Labor Organizations.

business of Live and Let Live, Take
and Give. And that goes for all
the rest Of the country.
T have been in New York week
or so now, after an extended absence
from the worlds greatest city, and
I marvel at the folk who make up
this unbelievable place. I have
heard hardened soldiers whine and
grippe at walking at a pace which
is slow-time for the average citizen
of New York. The New Yorker COW
ers a mile at a pace which would
kill off the toughest French Legion
naire and he moves at this pace
every day, week In and week out.
Rhumba Sardine.
When the New Yorker spends an
evening out, he dances with Mama
or Sweetheart on dance floor about
the size of an overweight postage
stamp and it is always occupied by
enough people to found an incorpo-
rated city, complete with a fire de-
partment, speed regulations and
dishonest politicians. To do the
simplest of dances-like, say, the
now popular bunny hug-he has to
match elbows, hips, forehead and
thigh with a forest Of other folk.
In my town and in your town we
sometimes have almost q foot Of
clearance in which to dance, but
not in New York. The New Yorker
Is just Rhumba sardine.
I believe that the records would
show that New York did q little
better than all right in the matter
of awards handed out during World
War II. No one who has ever been
on New York subway would ques-
tion this. I lived in New York
nearly fourteen years and when I
boarded Times Square Express the
other night I wondered how I ever
survived it. I entered the door,
bearing on my back a 238-ppund
dowager, a 165-pound meat sales
man, a squirmy veterinarian and
three small children eating, so help
me, apples on stick. thought my
lot was tough until I made my way
into the subway car with my burden
and took seat. Then I knew was
pretty well off because I sat down
on man; and In addition to the
veterinarian, the dowager, the meat
salesman and the three children, he
had me. But, just to show you how
glorious and gallant veteran New
Yorkers are, the man holding us all
up on his little lap issued not so
much as one word of complaint. He
just kept reading his newspaper as
If it were an every day occurrence
which Is exactly what it was.
Cabs Provide Razors.
Madder minds than mine have
become madder attempting to de-
scribe New York traffic. 1t is so

riders so they can slice of the

and abroad. These men were Con-
gress' watchdogs and their contacts
were on high level.
They consulted diplomats and the
political representatives Of other
countries. They spent their time in
conference rooms and at banquet
tables, but never did they consult
the man-in-the-street or ascertain
his views.
First Hand Information.
At the conference tables Senators
Vandenberg and Connally and Rep
resentatives Eaton and Bloom
gathered first-hand information
about the views of foreign diplomats
on the peace treaties and function
ing of the so-called United Nations
a name which has now proved to be
a misnomer. But because of theil
specific tasks they were not in
position to inform their colleague:
and the American people of more
than they were told by prime min
listers and foreign ministers of othel
governments.
Scores of Senators and Repre-.
sentatives have made real first-hane

New Congress Declared Well Qualified
To Pass LEGISLATION on Foreign Affairs

help Of interpreters who-in some
cases-were brought from the
United States.
This was almost an unheard of
performance and 1t aroused the ire
Of some British papers, which &C
cused Chairman Bridges, Of the
Senate Appropriations Committee,
Of shopping.
Few official functions were held
for these congressional probers, who
went on the theory that the men in
Congress who bear the response
bility Of committing the United
States in European affairs should
learn first-hand everything that
can be learned, instead Of accepting
the statements of the State Depart
ment without question.
Mistakes in Pressure.
It Is not that the State Depart
ment is suspected of misrepresenting
facts. But it did make mistakes in
putting pressure on Congress for
passage of the UNRRA appropria-
tions, the British loan and other
measures which cost the American
taxpayer billions of dollars. Those
mistakes have made our legislators
aware that high officials, who get
their information exclusively from
official quarters, have been guilty of
miscalculations
When the Marshall plan Is pre-
sented to the various congressional
committees the members can truth
fully say they know as much as-if
not more than-our officials about
conditions abroad.
There seems to be no serious OBJ
lection in the Senate and House to
approve stopgap relief to Europe to
total of nearly $500, 900, 900. This
short term relief program is con-
sidered by our legislators as the
touchstone which will verify or dis
credit the State Departments con-
tentions that dollars-i.e., food, fuel
and raw materials-can stop Mos
cows onward march in Western
Europe.
Most of the Congressman who have
been abroad doubt that force can be
adequately fought with dollars. But
they are willing to make the effort
and watch the results. The amount
involved is not great enough to make
any real difference to the taxpayer
And if the arrival of American goods
helps the governments Of France
and Italy to curb the activities OF
Moscow's puppets in those countries,
so much the better. If dollars do
slow up the Communists, only then
will Congress consent to appropriate
several billions for the first year OF
aid to Europe.
Secretary of State Marshall orig
inally insisted that Congress vote a
four-year program, but he became
reconciled last week to only a one
year program as starter, to be
considered in Congress regular ses-
sion in January.

flee for your country.
But If you actually were a candi-
date for President and you were
asked whether you would accept the
vice presidential nomination, your
reaction would be different. You'd
swell up, all right, but 1t would be
with indignation, real or pretended
You'd treat the innocent query al
most as an insult.
Doesn't Seem Logical.
This attitude doesn't seem logical,
somehow. If you volunteered or
were drafted to serve your country
in the Army, you wouldn't refuse
to play unless you could be COM
mander in chief. However, it Is
different in politics and we think
nothing of it when Governor Warren
follows Governor Stassen's example
and says he wouldn't be interested
in the vice presidency. We accept
this, Notwithstanding that on War
ren's record-as presented by some
Californians who swear they are un-
prejudiced-Gov. Warren would
make an ideal Vice President, one
who would say nothing, do nothing
and keep out of trouble.
But Gov. Warren is not running
for the vice presidency and that's
that. He is running for the presi-
dency and he is doing it in the
smartest possible way. He is running
standing still, so to speak, and has
been at 1t ever since 1914, when, as
now, he brushed off the vice presi-
Dental nomination. But only now
has he decided to admit it or to
seem to tolerate the suggestion.
Now he says, "Oh, well, If you
