LIBRARY HAS
"OPEN DOOR" POLICY

Dayton has a public library that
in it's employment policy contra
diets the general segregation pat
tern of the community. Negroes
are employed freely in practically
every department of the library.
If one notices carefully, there is
a little sticker on the window of
the front entrance to the main
branch which says: Cali are well
come here"
And that they are. No one is
barred, nor is anyone charged an
admission fee to enter the por-
tails. On the contrary, one begs
that come in and browse around,
take out an application for a card
which entities you to take home
as many books as you wish. A

Strike Arbitration Offer.
Is Rejected by Bethlehem

ey mo ASSoctoteu Fr0ss
The Bethlehem Steel Co. reported
yesterday it has rejected q CIC
union offer to arbitrate contract
disputes in a 12-week- strike
against nine Bethlehem shipbuilding
plants on the East Coast.
The company previously had
agreed to grant a 12-cent hourly
wage boost to the $4,000 striking
workers but proposed certain
changes in its wartime contract with
the CIO Marine and Shipyard
Workers. The union turned down
that proposal.
Bethlehem officials engaged 4 in
negotiations with the union and
Federal conciliators here since
September said they consider the
proposed contract changes "neces-
sary in order to establish ef1icient
peacetime operations"
Instead Of working out such pro-
visions in collective bargaining, the
union now insists that the remain
ig issues be submitted to arbitration
by third party Bethlehem
statement said.
THE company has rejected arbi-
tration, because the terms and con.
ditions of a collective bargaining
contract should be arrived at by
collective bargaining and not by
arbitration"

with the problems city workers face
that of not receiving enough wages
to buy all the good food they reed.
And this food problem will defy solu-

lanti-labor laws is enacted. Because
such laws will mean less wages. less
food. less farm market, more farm
surpluses and another depression.
So here is a chance for labor and
farm leaders to come hand in hand
