hope Twin City Negroes allow themselves be used
in the packing plant strike Probably
it's asking much Negro to the harm in
allowing the packing plant operators to them in such de-
spicable manner
However effort should be made by responsible Negro
leadership keep minimum the number Of Negroes who
through ignorance sign 20
We believe the United PAckinghouse Workers who on
strike against the big packers have right their side They
asked for % hour The packers Offered
only The union agreed the cents and sub
NIT the balance Of their arbitration The pack
would agree arbitration and therefore the employees
had no other course except TO strike.
The fact that the packers would submit their 70
arbitration indicative Of fear their that their position
would stand under scrutiny Of neutral arbitrator The
packers have made huge profits in the last few and their
position In the present controversy looks bad.
We hold brief for the packing industry Thousands Of
its workers Negroes and until the union along they
vastly underpad Negro employees always
denied upgrAdng In practically all Of the plants and reegad
to the des most UNPLEASANT tasks matter what their
abilities apttude None Of the packers have shown
much interest in the Negro workers.
The G. o. Packnghouse union In contrast has large
number Of Negro officials and through its efforts Of the
discriminatory practices against Negroes pepeuated by pack

We glad TO the St. Paul NAACP not only contrib

.36 Jap Sub Crewmen
On Trial in Yokohama

YOKOHAMA, July Is. - Thirty
six japanese submarine crewmen
went on trial today on charges OF
beating, robbing and killing 300
Allied survivors Of an Indian Ocean
torpedoing.
The first witness was Francis
O'Gara, Philadelphia Inquirer sports
writer, one of 80 survivors taken
aboard the sub. He testified the
submarine dived while 300 other
survivors swarmed about her decks
500 miles at sea.
The torpedoed ship was the Jean
Nicolet. bound from Los Angeles to
Calcutta. O'Gara said that after
the Nicolet went down the sub
marine machinegunned lifeboats.
In another phase of war crimes
trials a japanese admiral and five
other naval officers were sentenced
to total of TO years in prison for
beheading four United States Navy
flyers as morale boosting stunt.
Sentenced to 20 years in prison
was Rear Admiral -Tamotsu Fu-
rukawa. Witnesses said he asked
for custody of the Americans after
their flying boat was forced down
in the Celebes so he could execute
them to boost the morale of his
men.
