Employment Act, in every state.
The CIO, nationally and locally,
is for a greater share in jobs for
the Negro in industry here in
Arizona.
Mr.. Sims attack on labor
unions does not help our effort
one bit. In the past two years
great changes have taken place in
regard to the Negro, Mexican and
Indian. This fight to grant equal
citizenship and the right to work
to every citizen is being made.
Those that oppose it are posltlv-
civ alligning themselves with the
Communist propaganda that con-
tinually attacks our foreign pol
icy. In the past years the COM
munists have exploited the plight
of the Negro because reactionary
unions and employers see fit to
thwart the progress of the COL
ored race. The national C1O To-
callv, has two local unions where
discrimination is not practiced and
incidentally have a higher wage
bracket than anywhere else in the
city, for the same work. In the
Western Cotton Compress plant,
the negroes, through the leader
ship of Floyd Harris, President
and Trice Miles, Secretary, the
wages paid to employees are far
superior than those paid else
where in the city. The City of
Phoenix, Local No. 723, The Gov
ernment and Civic Employees Or
ganizing Committee, have made
tremendous gains and non-discrim-
nation of Negroes is not their
policy.
I am sure that the majority of
prominent Negro citizens are not
in agreement with Mre. Sims
statement, and 1 know that the
continued i'll behavior Of MIR.
Sims and Mr.. Daniels will bring
capable and responsible citizens to
replace them, come next election.
Should Mr.. Sims deny that he did
not make such statements, as L
have referred to, l am sure that
he remembers Mrs. Ann Tinnon
standing beside me and shaking
her head in disagreement. The
attack upon our organization, the
CIO, will not deter our union from
fighting for a just cause, the elm
ination of segregation, the enact
ment of Fair Employment laws,
which will give equal opportun-
ity to any person of any race
with the proper qualifications to
apply and be employed on any
type of job
Sincerely yours,
Nicholas G. Dragon
