white Supremacy" Advocates
Now Fear the WhirIwind of Right

I work, despite those who insist upoT
standing on the necks Of others
a third party is the only stopgaI
between a republican form of gov.
eminent, such as we have in thi.
country, and socialism.
am firmly convinced that Mr..
Truman knows the score. Al
though l am no politician and
have little faith in professional
politicians, nor believe that our
perple1ing problems can be
solved by politicians, I do believe
that Mr.. Truman is sincere and
right.
That does not mean that l be-
lieve his 10-point civil rights leg
islative program is the total answer
to the delicate human relations is
sues of the hour. 1t does mean that
while / think the States Fighters
are good at argument, they are in
the position Of the man who re-
fused to care for his wife and chill
dren and was allowing them slowly
to starve to death while Directing
to outside assistance.
Society finally took the position
that he had no right to starve his
family and moved in through the
courts after his minister and NOR
alists in the community had failed
to move him, and made him contrib
ute to the support of his family.
States rights must never supersede
the inalienable rights of the indi-
vidual. The state must never be-
come the tool Of oppressors.
| predict that if filibusters pre-
vent the passage of such legisla-
ton as will enable all Americans
to enjoy their inalienable rights,
without regard to race or color, we
shall see the courts Of this land so
clogged with lawsuits, seeking in
valuation of this, that and the
other, that our whole judicial ma
chinery may be supplanted by some
sort Of dictatorial setup and we
ourselves may become cogs in a
way of life.
There need be no fear of the
whirlwind, even in Mississippi or
South Carolina-if local communi-
ties will set up interracial team
work machinery with which to
study ways and means of i'm
plementing in their communities

groes." THE Negro knows better
than that" In 1888 Senator Tru-
man voted with Alben Barley to
take up another matter and bypass
the poll tax question. In 1902 Tru-
man voted against a measure which
would have abolished the poll tax
for all soldiers in the armed forces.
This bill had been proposed by the
late Franklin Roosevelt, and de-
signed to give Negro soldiers in the
armed forces an opportunity to
vote.

By ROBERT DURR

BIRMINGHAM, Ala-There is
an old saying, Sow TO the wind
and reap the whirlwind." Holy writ
reminds US that you must reap
what you SOW" We have not been
able to abnegate these immutable
laws.
Down South there are still those
who believe in white supremacy
-bossism of the black man by the
white man, predicated upon the
employment Of every trick in the
bag, including blasphemy, the
lynching Of even women and chill
dren, segregation, and the denial
Of equal opportunity to work and
participate in the government I'M
der which they live.
The South has been getting away
with this by denying colored peo-
pie the right to vote, to equal ed
ucational opportunity, equitable
employment, and to equal health
facilities. These are grave injus-
tees which must be and will be
atOned for. Otherwise, millions Of
cOlored peoples all over the world
will lose faith in the God this ma
ton wOrships.
The South has sown to the wind.
Now it fears the retribution which
cometh with the whirlwind. It is
terrified at the thought that with
complete liberation Of colored peo-
pie, deserved retribution might be
more than it could bear.
1t is hoped that President Tru-
man is not playing politics when
he calls upon the Congress to
take certain definite steps to Sc
cure TO all the people their civil
rights.
There are those who say he is
playing politics when he calls for
simple justice and a square deal for
colored people, passage Of a fair
employment practice bill, a federal
antilynching law, a law barring
race segregation in interstate
travel, and elimination Of the poll
tax as a prerequisite to voting.
My fortune tellers" forecast
that the cOlored voter in the North |
will not be fooled by all this fuss
and fury of the white supremacist's |
Try.
There are lots Of people who feel |
that democracy has failed, and that |

Murroy Charges Tho+ West Coast
Operators Refuse To Negotiate

San Francisco (LPA) - Harry
Bridges, president of the Int'l
Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's
Union last week failed to appear
before Congressional committee
investigating communism in US
unions. President Hugh Bryson of
Marine Cooks & Stewards who did
appear, was threatened with cita-
tion for contempt of Congress for
refusing to answer the standard
question regarding c o m m u n i t
Party affliation.
The two men are leading the
west coast maritime strike which
has been on for almost two months
now. The shipowners, in an effort
to break the union, have refused to
sign a contract until union officers
sign non-Communist affidavits un-
der the Taft-Hartley act.
President Philip Murray, whose
aides have been trying to get some
action on the stalled negotiations,
last week asked all unions to ex-
tend help to the strikers. Said Muir
ray: "The unions have repeatedly
offered to resume negotiations or
accept the good offices of neutral
third party.
"The shipowners have announced
instead. that they will not deal
with the elected negotiating COM
mittees of the unions. The direct
challenge by these employers of
the right to workers to select ne
gotiating committees of their own
choosing is threat to every labor
union in the country. 1t represents
an attempt to establish a new pat
tern of company unionism."
Edward S. Tangen, secretary
treasurer of MC&S, is heading the
drive for financial aid to the strik-
ing unions. Tangen said that the
shipowners are trying to starve out
the workers by refusing to negoti-
ate but mass support by the CIO
would defeat them in that aim.
In a reply to Bridges latest
peace offer, President Frank P.
Foisie of the Waterfront Employ
ers Assn said: "Any contract which
you and your leadership are ulti-

Says Security Is
Essential To
Political Freedom

New York IPA)-Irresponsible
politicians and businessmen who
oppose organized labor's attempts
to win security for the American
people are no friends Of freedom,
CIO Secretary-Treasurer James b.
Carey declared last week.
The labor spokesman was one of
the participants on the annual NY
Herald Tribune Forum.
He attacked reactionaries who
reject "civil rights legislation, de-
cent minimum wages, extension of
social security, health care pro-
grams, and federal aid to educa-
tion" as leading to "the police
state"
"These measures" Carey said,
snake for the protection of the
American family. 1t is the denial
Of security policies such as these
that reduces our opportunity to the
free"
The willingness Of some power
full interests to try and stop labor's
drive for security betrays their fear
of the people-and their fear of
democracy itself-Carey charged.
He derided the anti-union poll
ticos and tycoons who talk much of
the police state in Russia, and then
saddle American labor with the
Taft Hartley law, "a planned de-
nial of basic human rights"

Convention ExpeIs
Canadian Officers

Portland, Ore. (LPA)-Climax-
ing a longtime fight between anti
Communists and Communists in the
Intl Woodworkers of America, the
unions 18th annual convention last
week voted to take over the British
Columbia district council of IVA
pending election of new officers.
The Be officers, including Harry
Pritchett, first president of IVA,
had taken action to set up a rump
organization, the Woodworkers In
dustrial Union of Canada, and to
secede from the Canadian Congress
of Labor.
A court action has ordered the
BC seceders to turn over union
funds to the international, but the
convention was told that the Pritch-
EFT supporters had "locked them
selves in the Offices"
Delegates voted to support the
Marshall plan, after hearing a
minority report of the resolutions
committee calling it a "Wall st.
drive" They voted to urge a 75c
minimum wage--especially import
ant to southern woodworkers,
whose pay is gradually being hoist
ed to the 75c level by union organ
izing drives.
The executive board reported to
the convention that membership
has increased more than 10f6 over
last years figure, and that nego-
tiations covering the Pacific north
west district netted a 1212c pay
boost since last years convention.

Canda Is Warned On Anti-Labor Law
Saws US. Labor Unions Went TO Sleep

Victoria, Births h Columbia. -
Richard Walsh, president of the
AFL's International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees, de-
nounced the Taft Hartley law here
in an address before the Canadian
Trades and Labor Congress.
The AFL spokesman, who is
serving as fraternal delegate from
the American Federation of Labor
to the Canadian TIC, urged the re-
representatives. of 100000 workers
not to let Canada pass such anti
labor legislation.
Urging vigilance against labor's
foes who would hamstring the trade
unions, Mr.. Walsh admonished:
Don't go to sleep like the labor
movement did in the United
States"
Turning to discussion of the
menace of Communism and the in
creasing efforts of Stalin's fifth
columnists, Mr.. Walsh reiterated
the AFL's strong anti-Communist
position. He declared:
"The entire world is worried
about Communism and what it is
going to do to the labor movement.
The American Federation of Labor
is solidly against Communism, and
it is going to stay against Com
munism."
Mr.. Walsh said he did not object
to persons having any political be-
liefs, but he was opposed to labor
men taking political dictation from
another country.

Wallace Off
iii. Ballot
Despite COP

Chicago (LPA) = A Supreme
Court decision last week ended tht
high hopes of Henry Wallace;
Progressive Party for place OF
the ballot in Illinois. Wallaceitt
expectations had scared, earlier il
the week, when Republican Gov
Dwight Green joined them in ples
to put the third party on the state
wide ballot. 5
Green sent a Republican assist
ant state attorney general to Wash
ington to help the Wallaceites
argue the case. The governor per-
sonally appeared before the Su-
preme Court to call the state law
Unconstitutional" A Democratic
state official, on the other hand
charged that the COP leaders had
MT held this view until they con
clude the move would take votes
away from Democratic candidates
The rigid law requires new part
les, or parties that haven't had full
columns on the state ballot, to
secure signatures of at least 200
supporters in each of at least Sc
counties. The Progressives' petit
tions failed to meet this require
ment, both Republican and Demo
cratic election officials found.
A six-to-three Supreme Court
ruling said that the Illinois law is
allowable state policy"
Meanwhile, candidate Wallace in
speeches in Michigan attacked
AFL President William Green, CIO
President Philip Murray and Presi-
dent A. F. Whitney of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen for
supporting the reelection campaign
of President Truman. All of them
have criticized Truman in the past,
Wallace said.
The Progressive party candidate
also, by implication, dressed down
United Auto Workers President
Walter Reuther for favoring a new
political alignment after November,
rather than supporting the Wall
aceites now.
One of Wallace's companions,
Russell Nixon, legislative repre-
sentative of the United Electrical
Workers called President Murray
"Flip-Flop Phil' before a pro-
Wallace audience which booed
every mention of Murray or Reuth-
er.

SHOOT 'EM AT SUNRISE
Dewey's two-faced labor policy was
revealed at Beaucoup, Ill. when his
special train backed up so that the
crowd gathered on the tracks had
to move. "That's the first lunatic
I've had for an engineer" Dewey
snapped. "He probably should be

Tindle, who hasn't had an accident
in 80 years, explained that he was
following the rules and didn't hurt
anyone.

Vets Challenge
Gov. Dewey's War
Service Record

Washington (LPA) In stimuli
taneous press conferences in Wash
ington, New York, San Francisco,
Chicago, Atlanta and Miami, vet
erans this week demanded that
Republican presidential candidate
Thomas f. Dewey tell the country
just what he did to further the ma
tons war effort in 1912.
Trade union members were
among the veterans who challeng-
ed Gov. Dewey to tell whether or
not he got draft deferment as a
farmer" while he was pursuing
lucrative law practice in New York
City.
Posing the question is the Inde
pendent Veterans Group, set up by
members of all the recognized vet
Grams organizations last August.
Since by their charters, the Ameri-
can Legion, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, American Veterans Commit
tee and the other outfits are barred
from political activities, some of
their members set up IVG to in
quire into the war records of can
didates.
Speaking for IVG in Washington
were f. M. Wells and Joseph |.
Creager, members of Building
Trades Post No. 81 of the American
Legion. All the posts members are
AFL men. Wells has been active in
Local 5, Int1 Association of Bridge
& Structural Iron Workers-AFL,
for 27 years. Creager is assistant
business representative of Local 26,
Int'l Brotherhood Of Electrical
Workers-AFL.
Miss Dorothy Frooks, national
commander of the Women's World
War Veterans, has been refused
permission to see Dewey's selective
service records, Wells and Creager
said. These records are supposed to
be open to the public, Wells and
Creager pointed out, and said that
they have demanded that Maj.
Ames T. Brown, adjutant general
Of the NY Natl Guard who has
custody Of Dewey's records make
them available for inspection.
,IVG charges that Dewey, who
was born in 1902, was within the
Gallup" age limits in 1942--a year
in which he did not hold public of
flee. The upper age limit of the
wartime draft was not reduced
from 40 to 38 until December of
that year.
Key question which the vets are
asking is whether or not attorney
Dewey was overlooked by the draft
boards on the grounds that he was
a farmer when his principal bus
mess was the practice of law.
Numerous queries sent by IVG to
candidate Dewey himself have been
ignored, the spokesmen declared.
Moreover" IVG says in its letter
to Gen. Brown, "it has been re-
ported that Gov. Dewey's draft re-
cord has been withdrawn from the
usual and proper place in the draft
files and that access to it is now
prevented"
The veterans insist that "if Gov.
Dewey thru subterfuge, influence
or otherwise remained in private
life during the war, this informa-
ton deserves to be in the hands |
Of the electors in this crucial year.
No man should aspire to the high
est office in the land if he willfully
and fraudently avoided military
responsibilities in war time"
In response to a question, Wells
said that President Truman, while
a senator, volunteered for active
luty but was turned down. The
President is an artillery veteran of
World War |.

PULP WORKERS
DISTURBED BY
LABOR'S SPLIT

Washington (LPA) = The cur
rent issue of Paper, official publi-
cation of the Int1 Brotherhood of
Pulp, Sulphite & Paper Mill Work
ers-AFL warns that while "contro-
versy" is natural in dynamic la
Dor movement, "to let these differ
ences create disunity is contrary
to the interests of the whole move
ment."
In addition to the "major split
between the AFL and CO." Paper,
points to the increasing tension be-
tween the CIO and its pro-Com-
munist minority.
But, the IBPSPMW paper says,
the AFL is having its troubles too.
1t cites the failure to bring the
Int'l Association of Machinists back
into the AFL, and the threat of
the Int'l Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers to withdraw from the AFL5
Building Trades Dept because of
jurisdictional problems.
The disaffiliation of the lam
from the AFL "did not justify the
AFL executive council endorsement
of Dave Beck's attempts to break
the strike of the Machinists at Boe-
ing Aircraft" the editorial asserts.
A large number of today's union
members joined the organized la
Dor movement rather recently,
Paper points out. Their whole un-
ion experience has been in a "per-
iod of rising wages, rising prices
and relatively full employment.
These conditions will change When
the time of trial comes, the cour-
age and resources of loyal men,
bers will be taxed to the utmost"
