The Communists are not out to solve the race
problem but to aggravate il. There is better
evidence than their frequent advocacy Of jim-crow
posts in the UAW-CIO and in the Michigan CIO
Council
AT each convention they raise the issue, line
up a lot of Negro delegates in Its behalf, and
create racial differences and anaeonISms that
have place in the labor movement
The unions, particularly the Clio
CARNATIONS. pride themselves their freedom
from prejudice Many competent Negro union
lists have achieved high posts. and their
perienee grows. the proportion of Negroes in
high positions is 10 increase.
The only thing that stop this healthy and
normal development IS the continued agitation Of
the left-wingcrs, egeed by the Communists.
for special separate, segregated positions for Ne
eIoeS
TWO FOLD AIM
The aim Of the demand is two-fold II gives
the Communists talking point with gullible
people. We are the only people who really fight
for the Negro. they say They don't explain how
they are fighting for the Negro when they demand
segregation for him.
Other groups which refuse 10 advocate special
segregated lmcrow treatment, cannot compete
except when Negro delegates really understand
the issues
The other aim.is to cmbarass the opponents

ABOUT THE COMMON MAN

OF the Communists They are not really for
equal rights. They are anti-Negro" they say after
the rghtthinking majority rejects the proposal
for jimcrow posts
1t is time that the community recognized this
maneuver for the low-down trick II is ana made
it too hot for IT'S advocates to raise any more.
BAD RESULTS
This stunt is bad enough just as trick. but
il has repcrcussons that in the long will hold
back the advance OF Negroes into responsible posi-
tions
At every convention where this issue is raised,
relations between white and Negro delegates are
ritated to the detriment Of all that we have been
fighting for.
The impression is created among white dele
gates that the major interest Of most of the Negro
delegates is special consideration and not the
ll-being of the entire labor movement
This impression may sometime interfere
with the election of Negroes 10 positions they
have earned. and may already have resulted in
the reduction of the number Of Negro delegates
elected by predomnaniY white locals and units
All unonists have to work together for fun
equality Of treatment and opportunity for all
People who work for special positions for any
group should be driven out Of places Of influence
They are menace TO good relations in the labor
movement
