connections with influential CLIO
and AFL officials to advance the
social and political interests of
Negro citizens as such. The failure
is not due to the alleged fact
that these Negro leaders are too
busy advancing themselves. The
fault is much deeper.
The average Negro union leader
who might have a mind to ask
his white union brothers for a
little help on political and social
questions would be stopped by the
strong feeling that he would get
little support from other Negroes
and almost none from whites.
But Southern opinion fears that
the organization of Negroes would,
in some way. bring about far
reaching changes in the basic pat
tern of race relations in the South.
These changes will come, actual
ly are coming, but the union
movement did not start them and
will not be the main champion of
them. Far beyond purely economic
matters, the labor movement in
the South is most apologize and
conservative, particularly on the
question of, the rights and the
privileges of Negroes.
Recently the spread between
Northern and Southern wages has
been disappearing for white work
ers. The South has a better
chance to hang on to its low wage
advantage by keeping wages for
Negroes below those for whites.
Unfortunately the great majority
of white workers in the South
want to maintain racial distinc-
tons in political and economic as
well as social matters. Despite

the good educational work the
CLIO and the AFL Nve done in
the past few years; despite the
increasing realization by white
workers that they are in the same
economic boat with Negroes, most
of them still fear that they lose
something when better job oppor-
tunities are given to Negroes.
