Newspapers, Labor And Discrimination

Elliott Carlton
In time of war we can be pretty sure
that our papers or the papers of any nation
do not tell the truth. Sometimes this con-
cealment is due to the needs of military
security; sometimes it is due to the belief
that morale will be bolstered it the entire
truth were not made public.
But in time of peace these arguments
would not seem to apply. Indeed, even in
time of war it is doubtful whether these
arguments for press censorship possess any
merit. Yet the largest group in our nation
is always Disseminated against in our ma
tons press either in time of peace or in
time of war.
That group may be termed the labor
movement. In war the tiniest strike is treat
ed as major disaster even though that
strike may be a factor in making demoera-
tic war aims an economic reality. AT the
same time a manufacturers strike against
the government, costing hundreds of thou
sands of lives on the battlefield and tens of
thousands of airpanes is totally ignored
The refusal of the automobile industry to
convert to war needs until their terms were
met was a World War II example.
Even as this is being written strike
by one of the most prosperous of the big
industries is being carefully hidden by your
newspapers. The meat industry is refusing
to sell meat to our government for the
armed forces.
Do you know that? If you do, the

Mr.. Charley Is Finding Out Fast

ginning to do his own thinking and not de-
pendent upon outmoded Negro leaders. His
thinking today is far superior to that of the
average minister.
These latest school suits are definite
proofs that these leaders of today do not
represent the people. While they are paw
ing at the back door of the white man, beg
ging favors, the Negro mass is fighting for
full recognition as American citizens.
Now is the time for these Uncle Tom
Negro leaders to be uncovered, for Mr..
Charley is finding out fast that they only
represent themselves and not the Negro peo-

The Jim crow coach has got to be done
away with And now!
We have been fighting against it for
,,ears on moral grounds, saying that it is
q matter of democracy, justice fair play and
Act common decency that the segregation of
Passengers be stopped. But now we have
another argument against it to add to our
list - one of safety.
Fifteen of the 1S persons killed when
two streamliners collided last week were
Negroes. Their doom was sealed when they
entered the jim crow car Had the Southern
railroad not insisted upon "reserving' the
uoach next to the engine exclusively for Ne
GRO passengers, at least II or 13 of those
noreons would be alive today. If the 10
Negroes had been spread out over the train,
,bev would have had the same chance of
survival as had the other passengers. Some
would have been killed, some injured and
.o,,e would have escaped injury. But, as it
.,,,s the Negro passengers were the hard
,;t by death and injury because they
e all grouped together in the jim crow
car.
In addition to the moral and safety
reasons for discarding the Jim crow car, the
courts have declared that the segregation OF
interstate passengers is illegal Yet, the
railroad operating trains through the south
ern states continue to herd Negro passengers
together in the half-car next to the engine
The courts have spoken. It should not
be necessary for additional suits to be filed.
The railroads should obey the court orders
regarding coach passengers as they have in

Was The Duke Misquofed?
BY EARL

In reviewing some of Duke Ellington's
recent statements concerning race, | dis
covered that 1 disagree with him entirely.
am sure that none will disagree that the
Duke is master in the field of music and
possesses a matchless talent in the enter
tainment world that is more or less pleasing
to people the world over But with all this
we can doubtfuly say that Mr.. Ellington
speaks for most Negroes when he allegedly
stated that Negroes as a whole are not
ready for the full benefits of equality"
In letter written by Nelson L. Cannon
to Coumnist AL Moses are the following
opinions "As local musician and entcrta n
er, one who has played in quite a few
night clubs operated by whites and colored
alike, | find that racial ostracsm is the
worst humiliation a man is asked to endure
Were it not for the tireless efforts and sac
rificing fight of our recognized colored lead
ers from Fred Douglas down to Ralph
Bunche and Mary Mcleod Bethune on the
American discrimination scene, Ellington
himself would be barred from playing in
some of the plush and swanky spots in which
he appears today, Colored people all over the
world feel just the opposite to Dukes views
They feel that in this bright century they
are ready"
