Chicago "Disobey
The Draft"
GROUP Formed

CHICAGO, July 20. (ANP)-
A local chapter o fthe League for
Nnon-Violent Civil Disobedience
Against Military segregation was
formed at a meeting in South
Congregational church here last
week, under the guidance of A.
Philip Randolph, president of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car por-
tiers, and one of the national lead
ers in the campaign against jim
crow and segregation in military
service ad training. Immediately
upon organizing, the local unit
launched a weeks campaign, which
closed Sunday, to ecure pledges
from eligible Negro youths and
others of all races to resist the
draft.
The campaign included the sale
of buttons reading, Don't join

to house; and the securing of sig
natures to the pledge, mot to
register or be drafted for jim
crow military service or training
and ito urge and encourage 9TH
ers of all races with similar con-
victions to follow the same
course"
Randolph was active in the
campaign during the latter part of
the week. Friday afternoon, he
spoke on street corners and in

Miami DaiIies Change
Altitude on Negroes
In gleagues
By James B. LaFourche

MIAMI, July 20. (ANP)-The
return Of Roy Camanella to the
Brooklyn Dodgers, and the pur-
chase of Satchel Paige by the
Cleveland Indians has just about
transformed, and miraculously at
that, the editors of the white
dailies here.
Jimmy Burns of the Miami Her
aid is a swell guy. | took my hat
off to him when he ran a daily,
a syndicated column written by
Joe Louis just prior to his recent
fight. That was an unusual Incl
dent, too, for a southern white
newspaper. Nothing like it before.
But when Campanella was re-
called from the American associa-
ton, Jimmy gave that story an
eight column banner at the top of
his sport page. And Jimmy didn't
stop there either. For when Paige
was bought by the Indians, an
other eight column banner her
aided the coming of the "Old Man
of the Mountains"
Jimmy's type wasn't out of the
headlines very long. When Paige
was credited with winning his first
major league game, Jimmy told
the world in another eight column
banner at the top of the sport
page that Paige had made good as
an Indian.
From all indications it appears
as though the Negro will come
into his own through the broad
field of athletics. Last year Mar
ian Anderson passed through here.
Not a daily mentioned her pres
ence. Paul Robson likewise jour
neyed through, but no mention
was made of it. And then there

Lansburgh & Bro.
Accused by Union

The Building Services Employees
Union, AFL, Local 80, last night &C
cused Lansburgh & Bro. depart
ment store of refusing to bargain in
good faith, but a store spokesman
called the charge ridiculous"
The union, which represents about
100 building service employees as
the result of winning a National
Labor Relations Board election last
month, said it has filed charges
with the NLRB that the concern
has refused to make any wage-in-
crease offer to the union. The
union also asserts the company told
the workers at meeting that 1t
would not grant any wage increases
! to the union but promised increases
to individual emloyes who would
abandon the union"
The union adds that the COM
pany spokesman told the workers
that any employe who went out on
strike or participated in picketing
of the company premises would be
fired and never again have a job
at Lansburgh & Bro"
The charge was signed by Robert
P, Bailey. president of the local,
who has been negotiating with the
concern together with Samuel
Levine, attorney.
Ralph Goldsmith, the stores gen.
eral manager, said the charges of
failure to negotiate were ridiculous"
and that the company is paying
wages comparable to other stores for
5-day, 40-hour week. He said
the company is not willing to grant
the unions demands for raises he
estimated at between $6 and ST
week.
He added that the store manager,
A. S. Donaldson, did address
meeting of the building service
workers at the store but only to
explain their rights under the law.

That persons" is more correct

statement that people" Is quite
as correct as persons.
