ONE HURDLE CLEARED-Now
that the bill to grant increased
compensation benefits to Govern
ment employees injured on the job
has won the approval Of the House
Labor Committee, Federal employees
groups are seeking immediate hear
ings by the Senate Labor Commit
tee.
The measure, sponsored in the
House by Representative Keating,
Republican, of New York, would in
crease maximum monthly payments
from the present $116 rate to $225.
1t also would increase payments to
widows of employees killed on the job.
Mr.. Heating. who, together with
Chairman Hartley of the House
Labor Committee, has been leading
the tight for the bill, describes it as
"one of the most progressive and
enlightened pieces of Federal en-
ployes' legislation in many years"
The bill was approved yesterday
by the House Labor Committee and
now awaits House action. But with
only two months remaining before
the scheduled adjournment of Con-
gress, time is of the essence. That
is why hearings are being sought
now before the Senate Labor Com
mittee on a companion bill intro
duced by Senators Aiken of Vermont
and Morse of Oregon, both Republic
cans. This would pave the way for
simultaneous House and Senate ac-
ton on the bill.
. WARNING-The Civil Service
Commission has issued a warning
to an unnamed Government en-
ployes' union not to issue pamphlets
defeat of some members
Of Congress whose voting records
the union does not like.
This is violation Of the Hatch
Act prohibiting political activities
by Federal employees, and any en-
ploye distributing these leaflets
would lose his job, the commission
warns.
Although the union was not
named, commission officials init
mated 1t was the CIO United Pub
lie Workers Of America. UPWA Of
f1cials said that they were not aware
Of any such incident, but that it
might have been one of their local
units. Union officials said UPWA
always has been careful not to
violate the regulations Of the Hatch
Act.

The fullness of democracy that
every Negro American expects
has yet to be realized. The COM
plete ways and means of achiev-
ing complete democracy have yet
to be started. For when a positive
action is taken in this direction,
it is negated by a negative action.
And most important of all-these
negative actions are concurred in
or soft-pedeled by the co-called
democracy seekers who r always
the powers that be.
Usually, these co-called democ-
racy seekers are always busiest
just before election time or during
a war. And strange as it might

of these four flushes by now, their
lip service to democracy for the
Negro ceases to be heard after
