NOW COMES THE RECESSION

Unfortunately, jobs are disappearing.
Prices have come down. There seems to be
more difficulty right now than ever before
to bring about compromises between Strik-
ers and employers. Labor union bosses are
carrying on plans that an outsider might
think indicates enmity towards the Ameri-
can Industrial system. Just why the labor
bosses and industrial managers have to fight
their battles to a finish doesn't seem to make
sense. The federal government has enacted
labor laws for the adjustment of all differ
ences between employers and employees.
Let's use them! The Taft-Hartley law has
been repeatedly upheld by Congress-which
has taken broad vision and is playing fair
with everybody. But in recent months CIO
organizations have added new demands. to
their programs. They claim the rights of
employees to pensions, fixed at $3.50 month
for all superannuated workers. The CIO ar
CUES that pensions are wages deferred and
are therefore legitimate charge on indus

liability, life and disability expansion on a
big SCALE And so the fights between work.
ers and employers are becoming more and
more like political issues. And right now
the Democratic and Republican parties are
split in every possible way. The leaders of
both OF these parties do not know whether
they are going or coming. What we need
more than anything else is more statesman

said in view of the question of.

Veterans Confuse
Pensions With
Compensations

There seems to be a great mis-
apprehension among veterans about
the liberalized compensation law
for veterans which has been in eff
feet since October 10. It seems
that many veterans have been con-
fusing pensions" for "compen-
sations." No increase was grant
ed to holders of pensions, but those
holding compensations received an
81 percent increase in rates.
Former veterans who have dis
abilities which were not incurred
during the period they were in
military service hold pensions.
Those who were injured while in
military service are recipients of
conversations. This difference has
not been clearly perceived by
many veterans who are flooding
the veterans administration with
queries.

HUMAN RIGHTS

The world today is at the Cross
road. Human life is at stake. Mans
creed of religions is in danger.
The Church must forget it's
creed's and see God through man,
if we are to be saved. But men
and women of goodwill who see
democracy dying inthe earth, IAN
make a choice as they stand at the
fateful crossroad, facing the hour

but true Christianity will only
save the world. Race segregation,

The crack, all-Negro tactical 1872
Fighter wing, now stationed at

the command Of Col. Benjamin O.
Davis Jr., will soon go down in
history as one of the most colorful
Negro units in the history of the

The passing Of the unit was
heralded in Washington last We'd

Louis Johnson approved a new
policy Of distributing Negroes
throughout the air force instead
of concentrating them in special
units. The purpose of the move is
to assure equality Of treatment
and opportunity for all persons,
regardless of race, religion or ma
tional origin.
johnson issued a directive to the
armed forces last April 6 to shelve
the long-standing and traditional
segregatory patterns in each serv-
ices and to report their plans for
ending racial discrimination in
their respective branches.
The air force decided to inacti-

Price Cutting in New York Liquor
Stores Return With a Bang

NEW YORK, May II. (ANP)
Price cutting in liquor stores,
ruled out by a legislative act in
1915, returns with a bang now
that the appellate division of the
State Supreme court has ruled
the legislation unconstitutional.
Following the end of World
War II, with competition keen
among liquor store owners, the
legislature amended the State Lii
quor prices all over the state.
Package store owners and dis
tillers hailed the mocve and said
it was the salvation of the liquor
industry.
Now, members of the liquor
store owners association say this
new ruling will throw about 80
percent Of the present owners out
of business. Big stores with IN
limited purchasing power will be
in a position to lower prices to
the point where small merchants
with less financial backing will be
forced to the wall.
Throat cutting price cutting will
be in order when the ruling goes
into effect. This latter will not
be accomplished without a fight
as the State Liquor authority has
applied to Chief Justice David
Peck Of the Appellate division for
a stay of execution.
Already overloaded with liquor
emporiums, Harlem had been is
sued and promised more licenses
and a number of colored business
men, anticipating the issuance of
more licenses, more seeking spots
for proposed businesses.
However, the postwar collapse
of the free spending era halted
all operations in this general direc-
ton and prospective liquor store
proprietors chafed at the bit.
Newcomers anxious to start in
tho fled were advised to- go slow
on investing the large sums ne
cessary to start a business. Dis
tillers we're hiring nor statesmen,
brewers were looking for colored
representatives and the general
sloughing off of the business bod
ed i'll. The biggest blow came
when the price fixing act was de-
clared unconstitutional.
New York City has $500 of the
states $500 liquor stores. Har-
lem has perhaps the largest num-
Der of any similar community. in
