The whole city, including the
umderpaid worker, forks over
hard earned cash because of the
results of this discrimination. In
creased juvenile delinquency and
high crime rates are the natural
results; the whole city must bear
the added expense of these I'M

overcrowded housing in the COW
enant-enclosed Black Belt. Nor

this situation affecting all of Chi

this the friction between black

necessity. The time is long past
when we liberal Americans can be
pacified with reports and prom

accept reports in place OF action
is one of the big reasons for our
failure to be fully effective in the

The contention that a federal

TO which we exposed to distortions and out
right falsehoods about the history of the Negro
people.
Never has a movie been filmed which told
the story of CriSpus Attacks, hero of the Revolu-
tionary War; of Frederick Douglass, brilliant
scholar and journalist; of Harriet Tubman, fear
less underground fighter; or of such contemporary
leaders as Paul Robson, Lena Horne or w. E. B.
Dubois.
But we have only to drop around the corner
to see Gone With the Wind" lurid film which
portrays the Negro people docile smpletons
who were only happy under slavery, which glor-
flies the infamous Ku Klux Klan which denounceS
the democratic goals and achievements of the Re-
construction era.
Against this propaganda we must fight with
the weapon of knowledge.

Kidding selves

I mentioned a minute ago the
necessity for pricking consciences
in the North. Many of US who
live outside the South have been
vigorous spokesman for change
in the South. We have looked at
the civil rights statues on the
books of many Northern states
and assumed airs of self-right-
eousness. We have contrasted
them with the quite opposite laws
the laws imposing segregation
which are found in the South. In
using this base for self-righteous-
ness, we have been kidding our
selves. We have taken pride in
statutes, but we have not taken
leadership to see that the laws
have meaning.
When we are willing TO face
facts. we know that discrimina-
ton and segregation in the North
are only slightly less brutal than
in the South. Yes. when we face
facts we know that restrictive
covenants are the most despicable
examples of priority for property
rights over Human rights. We have
taken pride in lesser evil. but
in an evil all the same.
Every uttered truth produces
a tremor in those who live by lies.

NEGRO History Week affords an oppor-

and mis-education about the Negro people from
which too many of us suffer.
In Schools taught the basic facts
about slavery in the South, but too frequently
slavery is pictured as a benevolent institution
which existed only for the good of the Negro.
We are told of the bloody battles of the Civil
War, but seldom do we read Abraham Lincoln's
glowing tribute to those courageous Negroes with

No matter how strong the dem

ion hall, that unity so essential
to protect and advance labor's
cause in this critical period be-
gins to evaporate when a white
worker goes home to his domicile
near the plant while the colored
worker travels many miles to his
over-crowded howell in the COW
enant-walled black ghetto.
This acceptance without protest
by the white worker of residen-
tiaI segregation is hardly condu-

Here in Chicago the restrictive
covenant is the major irritant in
Negro white relations. Few un-

members as to the meanings of
these covenants, which imply

workers actually support these
racist measures. Not only does
residential segregation make Ne

Frank Hayes, Former Mine Head, Is Dead

Denver (LPA)-Frank Hayes died at the age of 65 in Denver last week. He was president of the United Mine Workers from 1917 to 1920. After his term as national leader of his union Hayes did not retire, but returned to Colorado as a UNIV organizer, and played big part in bringing all of the Colorado coal mines into the union. Hayes went to work in the pits in southern Illinois at the age of 12. Still youth, he led the famous Ludlow. Colo, strike against the Rockefeller interests in 1913. Despite the massacre ot women and children in the workers camp, the union held its members and broke the political hold of the Rocke- tellerS on the state. Hayes was lieu tenant governor of his adopted state from 1937 to 1889.
