The New Labor Law

The soundness Of the new Labor
MANAGEMENT Relations Act Of 1947
has been proved. President Truman
vetoed the measure on June %,
1947 and the Senate passed it over
the Presidents veto by vote of so
to 25, and the House followed suit
by a~vote of 331 to SO. And no mat
ter how much the measure may be
criticized by individuals it never
would have been passed except
that the Congress knew that their
constituents demanded laws that
would guarantee justice in labor
relationss. Those are facts. Just
why any labor bosses should start
the present new strikes and call on
the workers to defeat all Members
of Congress who voted in favor OF
the labor law is something that
doesn't make good sense.

Congress rescinded the order a

Davis in his excellent book "a
History Of Freemasonry Among

Prince Hall as "a public spirited

An ardent abolitionist; he ad-

participation in affairs of gov
eminent and equality before the
law"
1t is therefore fitting and pro-
per that we, living in the Goth
century, set aside a day and pay
homage and tribute to a man,
who is due reverence not only
from Negro Masons, but from
all patriotic, public spirited men
and women, who love to praise
and commemorate the lives and
deeds Of those, who have gone
before, whose hopes, aspirations,
and sacrifices have blazed the
American trail Of glory and fame.

Mccarthy FavOrs
Program Insuring
Civil Rights

Gene Mccarthy, Democratic
Farmer Labor party endorsed can.
didate for Congress from the
Fourth Congressional district, has
had varied experiences in farm,
labor and political work.
Born at Watkins, Mimi, he was
graduated from St. Johns Univer-
sity, Collegeville, and received
his Master of Arts degree from
the University Of Minnesota. He
has taught in public high schools,
in st. Johns University, and has
been active in sports, farming
and in military units.
Mccarthy thinks that the pro
gram to insure civil rights must
be courageously promoted" He
takes up the fight of the veterans
in stating that they must be COM
pensated for economic losses as
well as other losses they have sui
fered. He takes up the housing
problem in his belief that middle
income and low income family
ing houses they can afford. Small
heads must be assisted in secur-
business men, farmers and COOP
eratives must be protected from
monopoly" he believes.
Because he has taught soci-
ology and economics, Mccarthy
understands the economic prob
lens of the nation, which will
enable him to work harder to-
ward lettering the civil and So
cial conditions of today.

Arkansas "U" to
Admit Negro
To Med. School

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. CAMP
The University of Arkansas Med
ical school will admit one Negro
student in September without any
segregation whatsoever, it was
announced this week by DR.. H.
Clay Chenault, university vice
president in charge of medical
education.
The colored student will be
Edith Mae Irby, 20, Of Hot
Springs. This is belived to be
the first time since Reconstruc-
ton a school in this section has
ever admitted a Negro student
on such a basis.
She is the only one accepted
of IL Negro applicants who
wanted to enter the medical
school. Altogether the school ad-
mitted 81 out of 230 applicants
from Arkansas.
Students were selected on the
basis of scores made on a medical
aptitude test. The school had
planned to admit only 80 stud
ents this fall, but Miss Irby's
mark was so high that the school
decided to accept her.
DR.. Chenault said:
"She will be a part of her class
just like any other member. 1t
is physically impossible in med
ical education program to offer
any measure of segregation, es-
pecially in the preclinical years
of a medical school.
This situation presents quite
a problem. But the faculty group
completely approved her en-
trance"
I'm accordance with the
policy Of the university board
Of trustees, Negro applicants
who are bOnafide residents
of Arkansas may be cOnsid-
cred for entrance in the med
ical school. The board set q
precedent when It admitted
a Negro to the school Of law
at Fayetteville last year"
A native of Conway, Miss Irby
graduated from Langston high in
Hot Springs in 1914, and received
a B. S. degree at Knoxville,
(Tenn.) college where she ma
jored in pre-medical work.
Her application and others were
handled by an admissions COM
mittee headed b yDr. Chenault,
assisted by DR.. Carroll Shukers
and DR.. jeff Banks Of the medical
school and DR.. M. E. McCaskill of
Little Rock.
Our method of selection was
impartial" DR.. Chenault said.
