The present work stoppage is

out until April II. winning their
fight. In 1887 95, 900 miners struck
in Yorkshire and were out for 10
days.
Neither of those walkouts, how.
ever, had the far-flung effect
which a continuing strike could
now have on Britain's strained
economy. Coal stocks were far
higher then and Great Britain was
exporting millions Of tons yearly
instead of importing fuel from the

A survey conducted by the Ameri- can Fat Salvage Committee shows the United States will have avail able for industrial uses even less fats and oils during the first half of 1947 than was available dur ing the corresponding period last year. Department of Agriculture experts predict the drop in supplies will amount to approximately 150 million pounds.
 In view of the findings of the survey, American housewives are being urged to redouble their sal vaging efforts to increase the col lections of used kitchen fats. The American kitchen is the only pos sible source from which this deficit can be alleviated.
 According to the Department of Agriculture. domestic production of fats and oils-animal slaughter plus vegetable crops-will be slight ly lower the first half of this year than that of a year ago. This loss is estimated at about 157 million pounds.

Experts Forecast Deficit
 OfI5O Million Pounds in Domestic Fnts and Otis
Survey Shows Increase In Imports But Reveals Reduced Reserves In 1o47 Will Cut Down
 Total Available Supply

The one optimistic note is that while the United States EXPORTED 216 million pounds of fats and oils during the first half of 1946. it is estimated that we will IMPORT 150 million pounds during that period this year-or gain of 366 million pounds.
 However. this gain will be more than offset by the fact that this year it will be impossible to bor- row from reserve stocks 355 million pounds, as was done year ago. since reserves are now depleted. This leaves a domestic deficit of about 150 million pounds.
 In all probability, this even great CT shortage of fats and oils will greatly reduce the manufacture of refrigerators, automobiles. electric al appliances. tires and paints. However. if every family in the United States will save and turn over to meat dealers one pound of used fat each month. our domestic supply will equal that of a year ago. In this way-and in this way. only-can this problem be met.

 CHALLENGED IN COURT

Columbia, s. C.-The opening wedge i'll the fight to defeat the Southern States latest device to keep Negroes from the polls was made b ythe NAACP i'll a South Carolina court on Febru- ary 21st. In an effort to regain for Negroes in that state their abrogated constitutional right to vote in the primary elections, NAACP counsel filed suit here in the federal district court for the western district of $. c. against the election managers and the Democratic Executive Committee of Richland County for their refusal to permit.Geo. Elmore, a Negro, and other qualified Negroes, to vote in the 1946 primary.
 By it's repeal, in special ses- sion of the legislature in 1914, of all state laws regulating the primaries, South Carolina tried to circumvent the Supreme Court decision obtained by the NAACP in a Texas primary case, in 1914, making illegal the practice of a state allowing a private group to deprive the Negro of his constitutional right to vote. As a result of this abolition of all primary laws, the conduct of the pri- maries in South Carolina is
Hartford chronicle., 1947-03-01

now entirely in the hands of the Democratic party (without any state regulation), and that party denies Negroes member ship.
 In their complaint, NAACP attorneys allege that the de- fendants, the Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee and their election managers, are perform ing state function in conduct ing the only meaningful pri- mary, and that their refusal to permit Negroes to vote is a state action and, therefore, a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. The NAACP's complaint also contends that al- though the states intention was to destroy the agency relation ship between the state and the Democratic party, actually their relationship has not been destroyed whatsoever by the abolition of all laws regulating primaries. In practice, the Democratic party is continuing to perform the same state func- tion which it performed before the laws were repealed. iaa
 The NAACP's complaint cites the message of Governor OlIn D. Johnston, now U. s. Senator for South Carolina, in calling the special session of the Iegis4r lature in 1914, to repeal alfi statutes mentioning. primary elections. He stated: Cont. on Page ID
