The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1950-05-03
FIRST FIRED - LAST HIRED

This writer has recently talked with several merchants
regarding their particular businesses and for the majority they
have the feeling that we are not backing them as we should.
They feel as though we are forgetting that the money we
spend with them has a greater opportunity of staying in the
community than if spent elsewhere. That, while we are quick
to shout Last to be hired and first to be fired, = We are not as
quick to apply a Biblical rule, The Lord Helps Those That
Help Themselves
We must learn the value and meaning of DOUBLE-DUTY
DOLLAR. By spending our dollars with community merchants
that hire Negroes and subscribe to Your paper you are making
your dollar do DOUBLE-DUTY.
If a merchant does not hire any Negroes, then before pur-
chasing his products read your Northwest Enterprise to see If
he advertises with you.
If the merchant neither hires nor advertises DON'T SPEND
YOUR DOLLAR. but check your paper to learn where you can
have a DOUBLE-DUTY DOLLAR.
Make it a practice to tell merchants that are beginning to
give employment and to advertise THAT THE REASON YOU
ARE TRADING WITH THEM is BECAUSE THEY ARE
HELPING to raise the Negroes economic position.
If you will unite, THINK about how you are spending
your money, whether or not your dollar is a D0UBLEDUTY
DOLLAR, you will have no need to worry about being FIRST
TO BE FIRED AND LAST TO BE HIRED.

primarily upon peaceful persuasion
in dealing with discriminatory en-
ployment practices but which
would also provide appropriate
sanctions for those cases where
persuasion is unavailing."
Discrimination in employment
lis not a state or local problem
alone" but "a national problem
which affects our whole economy
and requires action by the federal

The Department Of Labor was
the first agency to issue a general

Of the Departments various broad
programs as they related, to the
public.
A fair employment officer was
designated in accordance with the
provisions of the Executive Order
and each bureau was required to
assign an official to work with
him. During the fiscal year 1949,
these officials received seven COM
plants alleging discrimination. Six
of the complaints were disposed of
on an informal basis. The excep-
tional complaint was carefully in
vestigated and a panel was ap-
pointed to hold a formal hearing.
Before the hearing was held. the
employee involved resigned from
the Department. Since the conn.,
plant was consequently not
pressed, the case was closed with
out a hearing.

The principle that a person

points out, adding: Many of our

then Immediately after the brief
Easter recess. Now comes the an
nouneement that EcA viii be
made the next order of business,
thus throwing consideration of
F.E.P.c. over until May.
Supporters of civil rights legis-
lation have been patient and have
sought constantly to relate their
demands for action on F.E.P.C. to
the overall needs and welfare of
the nation. They know full well
the Importance Of ECA, nor are
they unmindful Of the many other
major issues still pending in the
Congress. No issue, however, is OF
greater significance than the guar
antee and extension Of civil rights.
The struggle against totalitarian-
ism cannot be won by military de-
tense or financial assistance alone.
IN the final analysis. the triumph
Of democracy depends upon the
fulfilln ent of the democratic ideal
of human equality.
A sincere effort to pass F.E.P.C
will take weeks, possibly months.
In these critical times. there will
always be important and press
ing" business on the Senate calen-
dar which can be used as a pre-
text either for avoiding or for
cutting short consideration of
-F.E.P.C. In the light of these
facts, the statement of the Re-
publican policy committee that 'ff
it (F.E.P.C.) goes over to May. /.
it is very doubtful if anything but
a gesture can be made. because
of the absolutely necessary mea-
sures that will be before the SEN
ate" appears to be cut from the
same cloth as the repeated defer
ment of F.E.P.C. to other legisla-
ton by the Democratic leadership.
Both constitute evasions of party
platforms and pledges on this
issue.
Civil rights has for too long
been used as a football for partisan
political advantage. Both the Re-
publican and the Democratic party
are committed to the passage of
F.E.P.C. The upwards of 1000
delegates from 3 states, represent
ing more than 100 religious, labor,
civic, and veterans organizations,
who assembled in Washington last
January to voice their demand for
action on F.E.P.C. will hold both
parties to account. After six years
of delay and parliamentary man
euvering, the Senate has an obi
cation to vote its convictions on
this vital legislation. President
Truman assured the delegates at
the Civil Rights Mobilization that
F.E.P.C. would be brought to a
vote IF it takes all summer" Sen
ate Minority Leader Kenneth s..
Wherry repeatedly has pledged a
minimum of 35 Republican votes
for cloture to break the inevitable
filibuster. Proponents of F.E.P.C.
expect both of these pledges to be
redeemed. The fate of Senatorial
candidates in the November cleo
tions will be determined not only
by their personal records, but by
the record of their party in carry
ing out its civil rights pledges.

ting upset about how things have
been going in their roller derby
series against the Washington

SOUTH BEND, Ind, May 12.-
About $4,000 out-of season foot
ball fans will take look tomor-
row at the 1850 Notre Dame var
sity, called by Coach Frank Leahy
the greenest squad he ever had.
The occasion is the annual VAR
sity-Old Timers game closing out
six weeks of spring practice.
The varsity lineup will have a
letterman at every position.
Leahy probably will start Chet
Ostrowski. Chicago, and Jim
Mutscheller, Beaver Falls, Pa,
ends; Bill Flynn. Gary Ind, and
Bob Toneff. Barberton, Ohio,
tackles; Paul Burns, Athens, Pa,
and Fred Wallner, Greenfield,

The varsity backf1eld will be
Bob Williams, Baltimore, the reg
ular quarterback last year; Bill
Gay and Bill Barrett, both of Chi
cago. halfbacks, and Jack Landry,
Rochester, N. Y. fullback. ''g,
Notre Dame has gone 33 games
without defeat for a modern rec
ord, and Leahy may have some
basis for doubling that the 1850
squad has what it takes to keep
the string going.

Young and Fusari Box
In Last-Gasp Try for
Shot at Middle Title
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, May 12.-Paddy
Young and Charlie Fusari will let
their fists do the talking for them
tonight when they make a last
gasp try for a title shot with Mid
dleweight Champion Jake La
Motta.
But the prospects aren't too
bright that either will get the
prlzed crack at Jake in Yankee
Stadium. Rocky Graziano, box
ing's box Office bigshot, has a
strong "in" for the championship
contest.
The decision on the champs
opponent may be announced
shortly after Young and Fusari
finish their Madison Square Gar
den 10-rounder.
It's the first boxing show in the
big. arena in six weeks and has
plenty of gate appeal. Both
Young and FuSari are punchers.
They have large followings who
like to back their heroes and the
scrap is rated an even money
affair.
Matchmaker Al WE'LL expects
the tilt to draw some $4,000 cash
customers and a gross gate of
over $50,000.
Young, a growing 21-year-old
154-pounder. is rated the best
prospect in the division. He's
been moving up with giant strides
since he took up cash clouting 312
years ago. The game New York
youngster has won IL of his last
13 bouts and has developed a
power-packed left hook.
Fusari. although listed as a
welterweight contender, has grown
into a 152-pounder. The 24-year-
old fighter from Irvington, N. j.,
has won IA of his last 16 starts
and was seconds away from an
upset victory over Graziano.
Rocky bombed him out in the final
round last September.
The show will be broadcast ma
tionally by ABC and televised
by NBC.

She had just won The Star Cup
