~A6NAICy, 4Ilc.)
The Post Office this month issued
one of the first stamps carving
picture of Jew. The Gompers
stamp. 1t was issued on the oc-
caSlon of the hundredth anniver-
Sary OF the birth of Samuel Com
pers, the organizer and until his
death the president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
The story of Gompers is a kind
OF Horatio Alger saga. He was
not native born. He was brought
to America by his parents when
he was a boy of 10. The Civil
War was being fought at the
time OF his arrival. In fact, little
Sam arrived just after the Battle
OF Gettysburg, the great battle
which sent the legions of Lee roll
ing backwards to the south and
made the Confederacy abandon
the thought of carrying the fight
into the north-the great battle
which was to be immortalized in
the famous Gettysburg address of
Abraham Lincoln.
At the time, Europe had a labor
problem-a very acute one-but
America, while it had slavery
problem, did not have much of a
labor problem. The country as
whole was largely rural, but in
the few short decades after the
Civil War, rapid industrializa-
ton was to take place.
1t seems odd that it was given to
Samuel Gompers to organize and
crystalline the labor movement in
America. Physically, he was not
an impressive man. He was short
of stature, hardly more than five
feet tall. And he was Jew to
boot. That was no asset for him
in his career. Yet he was elected
and reelected and in his autobiog-
raphy he tells us that he never in
his life sought either nomination
or election to office. And I think
it's true. Somehow it was gener-
ally conceded that for his time he
filled the bill more suitably than
any other man.
He had his assets. First, he
had a booming voice. When he
spoke, he required no microphone.
1t reached out like an organ and
filled every Granny in the audi
forum. Again, while he was no
profound thinker, the fact that he
had had European and Jewish
contacts was an aid to him. He
had read a little of Karl Marks
writings on trade unionism, and
while the Communism of Marx
made no appeal to him, Marks
writings on trade unionism ap-
parently helped him in develop
ing his philosophy on the role of
the labor unions.
He was cigar maker by trade.
In fact, the tobacco workers at
the time, the cigar and cigarette
makers, were almost all Jews.
Before the Civil War, cigarettes
were not smoked in America.
Cigarettes were made in Russia
and Turkey. It was the Jews who
introduced them from abroad.
Such a man for instance as Oscar
Hammerstein, who introduced
grand opera in America. was also
like Gompers originally a cigar
maker. The Dukes got all of their
original cigarette makers from
the East Side of New York.
Cigar making was kind of
labor which was conducive to in
tellectual discussion and that
probably helped Gompers in his
career The cigar workers were

This important finding-showing that the function Of
anSems any other form of group prejudice is self
defense against ones failures by projecting them
weaker group-represented the denominator in
series Of five separate studies that have been conducted
May 1914 Based research by anthropologsts historians
psychologists and other social scientists these studies
pioneer attempt the United States investigate the
of racial religious and ehnc preudice and to anaYze their
effect those who harbor them we'll upon the

Dr. Sawson reported that the studies all point the fact
that prejudice and its expression discrimination due to
of weakness that needs bolsterng by producing
psychologcay in ones mind group inferior to ones own
The weakness person that scapegoa for relief
need not be economic the studies showed 1t can also be
emotional or social
Research thus far also indicates that who is hos
tile religious racial group tends to be hostile to
number of others and frequently to all others except his own
practical approach the problem Of prejudice and
discrimination DR.. Slawson stated is to establish the pat
tern that such attitudes and acts contrary to good taste
and the moral code of ones group"

published recently by Harper and Brothers, The first study

Feeling Of Inferiority Causes Hatred

During our frequent trips through
out the South we have opportunities
of discussing Jewish problems with
people in all walks of life. and the
most popular topic by far is. Why
do they hate USE"
We agree most heartily with DR..
John Slawson, who recently stated
that the prejudiced person does not
accept responsibility for his own
failures, but projects them on to a
group that is different in race, re-

the adults around him. In short,
he needs their inspiration.
In Childcraft Books, Bessie Lee
Gambrill, Associate Professor Of
Elementary Education at Yale Uni
versity, reveals profound UNDER
standing of this problem:
"Only within the covers Of fair,
tales are children blessed at birth
with all the gifts of mind and of
body which their fond parents
might desire. The child's attitude
toward himself is greatly influenced
by the attitudes of others toward
him." she writes, adding:
"The child has other needs be-
sides purely physical ones. He must
have emotional security, affection,
and the sense of really belonging.
Parents cannot add to their
child's Unborn mental ability, but
they can, in cooperation with the
school, equip him to use fully the
capacities which he has,"
The Childcraft expert points out
that the backward child needs "only
encouragement, suitable materials,
a slower. pace, and abundant pa
thence" to make an adequate social
adjustment.
