Did you ever hear about the
mother who was so busy keeping
a vigil on the front yard of her
newly welded sons home the next
door, she could not see the I'M
scrupulous scalawags playing put
and take in her own back yard?
| am afraid our government is so
busy keeping a night and day
vigil on communism throughout
the world, it is overlooking those
who would destroy the very foun-
dation of Democracy right in it's
own back yard.
There is something about fac
ism which seems to strengthen the
old bugaboo, "What Supremacy"
When men go to the polls to cast
a legal vote, and then suffer death
as a result of that vote, it's time
for action by the men who make
our laws. It's time for some whole
some and rigid house cleaning,
and the broom should strike every
corner of the house.
The incident which took place
when a Negro down in Georgia
cast his vote, only to be rubbed
out by the shots of men egged on
by the fact that a Negro is not
a citizen, and has no rights to
vote, something is wrong in the
living room, and it's time for
the leaders, (those aspiring to
the highest office this country
affords) to og into action, not by
words of mouths, but by deeds
and action.
It is no secret, that the only
political leaders who have dared
to defy the undemocratic princi-
pies are Henry Wallace and Glen
Taylor. Whether Or not you sub
scribe to their party program, the
Negro can take refuge in the fact

N. State Eleven
Meet A. and 7.

News comes up from Frank
Henderson. publicity director at
North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical college at Greensboro,
N. c., that the A. & T. eleven
will be sharp at mid-season for
their Saturday tilt with WILDER
force State at Wilberforce. Coach
Bell and his ASSISTANTS have been
having tow sessions daily in order
to have the team at it's best for
the important game with Wilber-
force.
The Aggies will probably field
several freshmen in the starting
lineup. Carter and McKeehens
have shown much spark and hustle
in practice. Of course the varsity
standouts from last years fine
team will be holding down regu-
lar positions. Notable will be such
superior performers as Kitchart
Mckee, Monroe and Crimson at
end positions.
These are the boys to be watch
ed Saturday in the Aggie back
field: Garrison Valentine, Cole
man, Harshaw, Jackson, Kelly,
Fisher and the mighty Stonewall
Jackson. The Jackson named
Stonewall won a position on the
colored intercollegiate thletic as
sociation's team last fall.
Coached by such skillful men
as Bell, Williams, Echols and
Brown, the Aggies should put up
a very commendable performance
| against Wherefore.
We are looking forward to see
ing all Dayton Wilberforce alumni
and just plain football lovers in
| Wilberforce this Saturday to see
just how much of a prophet Frank
| Henderson turns out to be.

Mr.. Truman And The CLIO

The current attitude toward ma
tional politics of the leaders Of la
Dor in this country, as revealed by
themselves and elaborated by their
journalistic Spokesman, reflects credit
upon neither their character nor their
intelligence. The wonder is that the
men constituting the rank and file OF
organized labor do not recognize its
stupidties and revolt against
leadership which makes boobs Of
them. They deserve better.
In particular, this applies to the
CIO, and the conspicuous bosses OF
which are actively affiliated with the
ADA effort to destroy Mr. Truman.
In the light Of the record this makes
no sense whatever 1t is not necessary
to be pro-Tluman to agree about
that Any detached person, Demo-
crat or Republican, reviewing the
situation, can hardly avoid the con-
clusion that these bosses are as dull
as they are unworthy, and any poll
tican who counts upon their support
is foolish.
A recital of the indisputable facts
ought to promote a clearer under
standing among members of the
unions as well as nonmembers. In

We find them joining with a group
which, for its own peculiar reasons,
wants to ditch Mr. Truman.
More than that, we find Mr.. Philip
Murray and his blatant aides shout
ing for the drafting" Of General
Eisenhower, though no one who real
iy knows the General has the lease
doubt that as President he would
have signed the Taft Hartley bill in
stead of vetoing it; that he would not
advocate its repeal; that never would
he advocate its repeal that never
would he coddle nor truckle to these
CIO bosses in the Roosevelt rum3 n
way, and that, anyhow, he is not go
ing to be nominated and Mr.. Tru-
man is. Considering these things, 1t
is really remarkable that Mr.. Mur-
ray and his aides can be taken seri-
ously by their own following. The
only reasonable explanation seems to
be that the following does not know
or does not understand the facts Ger
tainly, these make it difficult TO
credit Mr. Murray and his aides with
ordinary gratitude, ordinary common
sense or an ordinary sense Of shame.

Unique Settlement Wins
$293,850 For 217 Men

New York (LPA)-Workers who
won't be eligible for federal old
age benefits or who will be displac-
ed when Kennecott Copper Co.
abandons a 15-mile long railroad
which hauled copper ore to Magma,
Utah, last week won $293,85O in a
settlement negotiated for them by
System Federation 155 of the Int'l
Association of Machinists.
Altogether, PIT workers will
share the $3.50. 1t is being paid
because Kennecott is replacing the
Bingham & Garfield Railroad with
a new rail line, using all-electric
locomotives, hauling nothing but
ore. AS result, many workers will
be displaced. The ones still work
ing will no longer be eligible to re-
ceive benefits under the Railroad
Retirement Act.
General Chairman Alex Bauer of
lam District 20 says that the set
is unique in labor history.

Protests Jailing
OF Labor Leaders

Washington (LPA)-CIT Presi-

Francisco Aguirre, former Cuban
Minister of Labor, and Cuban Sem
ator Eusebio Mujal met here with
AFL Secretary-Treasurer George
Meany, A. E. Lyon of the Railway
Labor Executives Assn and Ser
afino Romualdi, director of AFL
Latin American Affairs, last week
to discuss the Peruvian government
which has jailed many labor lead
ers, including CIT Vice-President
Arturo Sabroso Montoya, charging
them with leading a violent naval
and military revolt in Callao last
month.
Calling for a fair and public trial
of the imprisoned workers, Presi-
dent Ibanez said in a statement:
"The Inter-American Confederation
of Workers, whose detectives in
clude the defense of the basic civil
and trade union rights of the work
ers thruout the Western Hemis-
phere, emphatically protests
against these measures of the Peru
Wan government. 1t asks for the
restoration of all the
guarantees and civil
rights of organized labor"

Georgia Judge
SIaps Injunction
Against Workers

Rome, Ga. (LPA)-The prefer
ence of southern politicians for
foreign" money over the interests
of the south and its workers was
graphically demonstrated last week
by Judge H. E. Nichols. The Judge
slapped rigid anti-picketing IN
junction on striking members of
the Textile Workers Union of AM
erica, employees of the Rome plant
of the Celanese Corp, which is re-
fusing to grant them the same 15c
wage increase it has conceded en-
,ployes in its two northern plants.
Shortly after the strike of 2500
workers entered its seventh week,
Celanese proclaimed that the plant
would reopen in three days. .TWUA
representative Joseph Pettigow re-
piled with a call for all out picket
ing that day. a. ,.@
: Then Judge Nichols came thru
with his Injunction forbidding
TWUA to post more than two pic
kets at any plant gate. Piekets
were also warned by the Judge
against interfering in any way with
strikebreakers-or even engaging
in, cloud talk. e -
A news. photographer who at
tempted to take pictures of the pic
ket line had his camera broken.
Nothing. else even family bordering
on violence has taken place on the
picket line, but II contempt cita-
tions have been issued against
strikers.
Meanwhile, Clanese officials are
continuing to rebuff Federal Con-
citation Director Cyrus Ching's re-
quest for new contract talks.
TWUA leaders have assured the
federal official that they will meet
with his representative in Atlanta
at any time.
Determined, however, to main
tain the wage differential that has
so long depressed the living stand
ards of southern workers, the cor
poration has refused to join the
conversations, and has repeated
that it will not grant more than an
&c pay boost.

Prepaid Medical
Care Plan Shows
Way For Nation

New York (LPA)-The 2700 men
and women in one Bronx neighbor-
hood who belong to the Health In
surance Plan of New York now
have at their call the services of
% general physicians and special
lists in the IL fields of medicine, all
practicing out of their own center,
located directly across the street
from Montefiore Hospital, whose
facilities are available to members
of the group at all times.
Membership in HIP is open to
workers earning less than $4,000 a
year, and families with incomes
under $4,000, who can join either
thru their unions or thru their
places of business. The prepaid
medical care plan, organized de-
spite the opposition cf the local
affiliate of the American Medical
Assn, now has 125,000 members.
There are 25 groups like the one in
the neighborhood of Montefiore
Hospital, each having a complete
battery of family physicians" and
specialists to diagnose ailments,
and to treat and wherever possible
to prevent illnesses.
The Montefiore medical care CEN
ter opened last week, and Dr. Dean
Clark, HIPS director, urged mem
bers to take advantage of the mod
ern facilities in the new center.

TIL Threatened
II Years Peace

Chicago (LPA)-The Taft Hart
ley law almost destroyed the peace
full collective bargaining practices
of IL years standing in the wall
paper industry, Joseph M. Jacobs
general counsel for the United Wall
Paper Craftsmen & Workers-AFL
revealed last week.
Since 1887 the union and the in
dustry have profted from regular
industry-wide collective bargaining,
Jacobs pointed out, and the COM
panies appeared to accept the
rights of the union-until Taft
Hartley became law.
The industry's attempts to take
advantage of the law, by denying
the workers demands and termin-
ating union security agreements,
was met by 20-to-one strike vote
and a $3.50 pro-union shop NLRB
tabulation among the workers. (,
These evidences of continued
loyalty to trade unionism finally
forced industry spokesmen into
conference with AFL and Federal
& Cancellation Service
representatives. The union won lie
hourly wage increases for it's 5000
an industry-wide senior
ity system, union security and other
benefits.

tions and a strong union with great
power over production" each try
ing to strike a shrewd bargain, is
the subject of the second in the

"a freak situation" the NPA study
found. at is typical of small, but
growing number of collective-bar-

fcant contribution" to basic indus

UE Officers Sue
Atom Commission
For BIacklisting

Washington (LPA) = Unit e q
Electrical, Radio & Machine Work
ers filed s1,000,000 damage suit
last week against Atomic Energy
Commissioner David E. Lilienthal
four other commission members
and the General Electric Co.
In addition to the 81 900, 900, UE
asked for an injunction preventing
Lilienthal from blacklisting the un-
ion in atomic plants. President Al
bert Fitzgerald and Leo Jandreau
regional director in Schnectady, n
Y. where the union was banned, ac-
cused Acc of a conspiracy with
the company TO deprive them of
their bargaining rights.
Fitzgerald also accused Lilienthal
of attempting to interfere in union
politics and trying to deprive the
100000 UE members of the right
to choose their own leaders.
Legal basis for the suit is the
contract the union has with Gen
eral Electric, covering all workers
in the Schnectady area and runn-
ing until April l, 1850. Besides the
contract, UE cites its certification
by the NLRB as bargaining agent
for GE workers.
Lilienthal ordered the electrical
workers union barred from GE's
new atom laboratory because union
officers had refused to submit to
security checks required by the
Atomic Energy Commission. Sever
al days before UE sued, he wrote
a letter to Fitzgerald repeating his
warning that union officers would
have to meet security requirements
of Acc or be denied the right to
represent workers in atom installa-
tions.
"The Commissions action" said
that atom chief, "is in furtherance
of its clear duty to the country,
imposed by law, to safeguard the
nations atomic energy undertak-
ing. In this we have heretofore re-
ceived the full cooperation of the

Union Shop Upheld
In alters Votes

Reading, Pa. QLNS).-Support-
ers of the Taft-Hartley Act deriv-
ed no comfort from the decisive
vote for the union shop cast by the
workers of the Paul B. Hendel Co.,
Reading. In a recent election con-
Quoted by the National Labor Re-
lations Board to determine the pre-
ference of the workers, the union
shop won hands down.
Although 109 workers were de-
clared eligible to vote, only 88 were
at work on the day when the cleo
tion took place. Of this number, &c
voted for the union and 2 ballots
were voided.
Members of Hat Workers Local
25, United Hatters, Cap and Mill
inery Workers International Un-
ion, were delighted with the cleo
tion results. A 3-year contract
signed some months ago included
clause for the union shop. The cleo
ton was made necessary by the
terms of the Taft-Hartley law.
Another decisive vote for the un-
ion shop was cast by workers of
the Champ Hats, Sunbury, Pa. Of
the 122 eligible workers, 104 voted
for the union shop and only 2 vot-
ed no. The virtually unanimous
votes were in line with similar
elections held throughout the in
iustry. In every election so far the
workers have upheld the union
shops with near unanimous or un-
animous votes.
