Ships Loading as Strike Ends; Three Now Discharging Cargo In Port of Seward

Termination of the maritime strike found Seward longshoremen busy unloading cargo from three ships docked here yesterday.
 The Alaska Steamship Company has scheduled four more ships to sail this month, with the Baranof due to arrive at Seward about De- cember 16, leaving Seattle on De- cember TO- The Alaska, which has been returned to the Alaska Steamship Company from North land Transportation Company, is due to leave Seattle December 16. This is expected to be the Christ mas ship, and will probably arrive about December "A.
 The Denali, which will not have Seward as port of call on it's first trip, will leave Seattle December Is. Two freighters of the Alaska Line, the Terminal Knot and the Victoria, will sail from Seattle about December 16 to 18.
 The embargo on rail freight des- tined for overseas shipment has been lifted, but it may take some time before goods reaches the docks in sufficient quantities to make good pay loads. It is reported that foods, medicines, and holiday supplies will be given priority in . shipments. While business in Seward has been slow during the prolonged shipping tie-up, enough ships and barges have docked here to keep longshoremen at work a good part of the time and no cases of dire | need were reported as a direct re- suit of the strike. General effects of the termina- tion of the tie-up were observable Monday. Merchants immediately began planning holiday sales cam- paigns. Longshoremen began to arrive in town after their extended vacations, and while there had been difficulty in getting enough men to work on the Liberty Ship Archer T. Cannon, by Monday afternoon there were plenty of men available.
 The Alaska Railroad immediate ly began making preparations to handle the large amounts of cargo which will again be coming over the docks at Seward.

Another shooting occurred on
the West Side this past Tuesday.
Charles J. Liggins "a, 227 Mer-
Ger avenue, is being held in con-
nection with the shooting Of Cleo
Jones, 28, 1416 Home avenue. The
shooting occurred during a dice
game at the Young Mems club,
1915 West Fifth street. Jones was
not seriously hurt. He was treated
at the st . Elizabeth hospital and
released.
A poker game last winter
started an argument which even
tually led to a fire which killed
three people in a Dunbar street
apartment house. Sunday morning
a Dunk on Dunbar street loaded
a shotgun in front Of pedestrians
and threatened to shoot another
man with it. Also Sunday, a cab
driver shot a passenger who had
allegedly pulled a gun on him.
These and many more incidents
are inexcusable. They occur be-
cause of the belief my many that
"guntotin'" makes n tough, and
because authorities do not enforce
the laws against carrying weapons.
Gun carrying is only done by
towards. If only the towards got
hurt as a result, n would be
tempted to say: COX, let them
shoot each other up" But inno-
cent people are endangered. Very
often they are the ones who get
hurt. Therefore we demand that
law enforcement officers get a
better observance Of the law by
penalizing those who violate it to
the full extent Of the law.
These shootings have got to
cease. They hamper the Negro

cess and embarrassment in his adj

year depends on what he congress
does to help him out.
SO far, in this particular issue,
the ways and means committee of
the house of representatives has
let him down. He was expecting
and he had, therefore, led island
ers to believe and expect that con-
gross would act favorably on a
bill before it to return to the is
lands annually, commencing the
next fiscal year, 100000 of the
amounts collected in the u. S.
each year in internal revenue
taxes on rum shipped there from
the islands.
The ways and means committee
which was studying the measure
has unexpectedly shelved it. This
has thrown the islands into the
greatest economic confusion in
which they have been since their
transfer from the Danish govern
ment. There are not sufficient
funds here to carry on even the
essential functions of government
over the next year. HASTE and his
legislature are against the wall.
The government and people must
deteriorate from the American

tanned over the years under other

Community Disease
SPREADS If Not Cured

Embellishments in community
life are like disease in the body.
They must either be cured or they
| will spread. Alabama is a virulent
! case which emphasizes this truth.
Ae separate door for Negroes to
enter a public meeting place is
pure meanness that would be
ridiculous were it not indicative
of softening of the brain and de-
cadence of the sense of social re-
sponsibility.
When this question of civil
rights for Negroes burst upon the
American people a few months
ago, we said it was here to stay
until it was settled and settled
right, whether that be four years
or forty. Because the Alabama
incident involved Senator Taylor,
Wallace's running mate for vice
president, already five million or
more Americans have their atten-
ton drawn to what segregation is.
Opportunity for courtesy be-
tween the races is better than any
"spite fences" Under segregation,
even a white mans right to go
where he pleases and dow hat he
pleases so long as he injuries no
body is taken from him. Segrega-
ton simply cannot stp where it
is. Such is it's nature that it must
continue to evade new areas. But
of all places, we would least ex-
pect total segregation to be at
tempted in Alabama, the state
which because of the genius of
George Washington Carver was
able to escape from poverty to a
degree Of prosperity. It's worn-out

Primary Elections
(Editorial)

The primary elections are over, the battle lines for
the general elections in November are drawn. Now is the
time for the eternal surveys and representations based on
the surveys. The question uppermost in the voting publics
mind is "How are we affected by the results 2"
The most crushing defeat for Negroes was that of
X. M. kirkendall. Running for the state senate on the
Democratic ticket against former Sen. Edward Welsh, he
lost by the narrow margin of 335 votes. Welsh polled
1923 votes to Kirkendalls 6593. Kirkendall is a former
state senator himself, and during his tenure he faithfully
fought for legislation which would aid Negroes in attain
ing the status of frst-class citizenship in Ohio.
Granville Reed, pastor of the Waynan AME church,
a candidate for the state house of representatives on the
Democratic ticket, came in disappointingly low. He did
not qualify for one of the four nominations. Miss Frances
Reed who responded favorably to the Dayton Council for
a permanent FEPC QUESTIONABLE also failed to qualify in
this race. Leslie Meyer, George Grusenmeyer, Howard
Butt and Jesse Yoder won the Democratic nomination,
and DR.. Howard Butrow, James Carter, B. Studebakera and
John Wood won the Republican nominations for state
representative.
In the race for representative to congress from the
3rd district, Raymond H. Burke, Republican, ~unopposed
for denomination, received 20, O59 votes. Of the Democrats
Jacob Deutsch, garnered only 1888 votes to lose to Ed
ward Breen, former mayor of Dayton. Breen polled 1890
votes and Edward Gardner, former congressman from this
district had 1898.
The one other candidate for a local office nown to
have a fairly liberal recored is Harry Munger. He received
the highest vote on the Democratic ticket for county COM
missioner. He polled over 1000 votes. Munger is an in
cumbent.
In the state wide campaign, Governor Herbert will
represent the Republicans in the gubernatorial race in The
fall as was expected. Former Governor Frank Lauschv
won a 2-to-1 victory over the CIO-PAC endorsed candi-
date, Ray T. Miller, in the Democratic primary. Miller
even lost the home precinct of AL Horstman, state Demo-
cratic head, and his supporter. (Rumors have it that Horst
man may quit as head of the state Democratic committed,
Lausche polled over 100000 votes to approximately
40, 900 for Miller.
At this writing Harold Stassen had received eight
of the % contested COP presidential nominating votes in
the state. This means that Taft will will have As of Ohio's
SO electoral votes.
There will be a lull on the political stage for a few
months, with only an occasional performance. Then things
will get so hot that it will undoubtedly be one of the loud
est, most raucous campaigns in the history of America.
From now on in he essential thing the voter should do is
insist strictly that the candidates stick to issues, not to
name calling and personalities.

THE GREAT POWER OF THE
COLORED PRESS


Gunner Myrdal author Of the
American Dilemma said, 1.-THE
Greatest single power Of the
colored race is his newspaper" I
wonder. 1t seems to me the color
ed church is the greatest single
power. Myrdal has challenged
our thinking, and we are forced
to concede our Colored Press is a
great power, and as such, should
be more appreciated and better
supported Our newspapers are
widely read and are helping to
mold public opinion.
In Ill fairness we admit the
colored press has not arrived-for
that matter not even have the
most outstanding daily news
papers of the land. One and all,
they can and should grow. The
need Of growth Is so apparent
with us. Our leading weeklies
should grow to be dailies, our
small papers should aim to grow
into great weeklies, well financed.
well stated with business execu-
tives and good writer's and loyal
helpers. The more guns we can
fire at the caste system Of Amer
lea, the more weapons we have
to fight for democracy for all,
the greater service our press can
render.
SO many readers Of great dali
les forget they are large and
make a complete coverage of
world news because big business
pours into their tills sufficient
money to operate. Our papers
all could do a better job If all
