u. s. Government Dickers
For Cheap Mexicdn Labor

Mexico City (LPA)-Officials o.
the US State and Labor Depart
ments started negotiations which
may send half a million Mexicans
across the border as farm workers
and common laborers.
American labor groups are up in
arms because they were not Off
cially notified of the meetings until
late and when they asked repre-
sentation were told their applica-
tions were "too late" and would be
"too costly"
H. l.. Mitchell, president of the
National Farm Labor Union-AFL
charged large-scale, multi-million
dollar farming interests and induf;-
trial plants which can use cheap
labor are using the ''manpower
shortage" as smokescreen to
flood the United States with cheap
labor.
"If we need more help, all right" /"
Mitchell said, "but we don't want
any more until the actual need is
determined. Right now in the
United States we have many out
of work because of a few gray
hairs in their heads s. let's put
them to work first"
Mitchell also condemned the US
Governments policy of taking the
word of the employers on the num-
ber of men needed. He said employ
ers ask for ten men when they need
one and that they are merely in
terested in flooding America with
ga controlled labor supply, COM
pletely under their thumbs who can
be paid anything without fear the
men will walk off their jobs"
Another thorn pricking the
unions is a clause in a proposed
agreement between the US and
Mexico which would prohibit the
deduction of union dues from Mex
leans pay envelopes.
Demand for entrance of the new
labor supply comes from huge farm
units in the West and Midwest
Those on the Eastern Seaboard get
their cheap farm labor from Puerto
Rico and the British West Indies.
These farmers are able to pres
sure the US Labor Department
through the Special Farm Labor
Committee of the department,
which was inherited from the Agri-
culture Department when Labor
took over some of it's functions.

;the conference which was well re-
ceived and the propositions endors-
ed. We feel much credit is due the
younger locals in the sanitary
branch for the progress they have
made and it looks as though they
will be leading the way in the not
too far distant future.
We were surprised to hear one
local pays S1.50 dues, but we were
informed this enables them to sup
port many worthwhile causes the
rest of US have to forego or raise
the funds in other ways.
Glad to note some firms pay the
days wages when men are called
up for military examinations and
some give one and two weeks pay
when inducted.
One universal cause Of trouble
seems to be wet moulds especially
where they are used twice or more
in one day. The starting rates of
pay in the West sounds good to US
and will doubtless help to offset
any disadvantageous rates in skill
ed labor. The policy of encourag-
ing piecework where practical we
believe to be right and an incen-
tive towards higher wages.
Other items in the report were
very interesting and enlightening
and we hope the idea of having a
fixed date for the conference will
be passed at the next convention SO
We will be more prepared for it.
On the local front we are able to
report Joe Abrams and Jim Holt
home from the hospital but sorry
to learn Bro. Mike Gevak had to
return. Bro. Abrams stated he did
not know he had SO many friends
and wishes to thank all for their
visits and other expressions of
good will.
Miss Shea, our faithful nurse
had a very bad fall at Christmas
time and was hospitalized for some
time. She is still confined to her
home by the injury. Our very best
wishes to these folks and others
who are i'll.
1t was called to the writer's at
tention that no mention had been
made of the death of Bro. Matt
Carney, former member and for
several years foreman at the Mu-
tual who passed away last Decem-
Der. He had been in poor health
for a long time but kept working.
He was we'll liked by those under
him. Our very sincere sympathy to
his family and friends.
Frank Hutchins, for many years
a member of the Executive Board
died last week. He was we'll known
by old timers.
Our best wishes and congratula-
tions TO Harry Smith, brother Of
President George Smith on his ap-
pointment to foreman.
Never a week passes but what
some problems or adjustments are
handled by the shop committee,
conference committee or the local
union itself. We hear lot of criti-
cism of what they do not do, but
we do not take the time to learn
what they have accomplished be-
cause we are not interested enough
to attend meetings. Some day we
may wake up but it may be rude
Till then, how about

RELATION GAINS
IN SOUTH

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Hold
ding Carter, liberal editor of the
Greenville, Miss. Delta Demo
crat-Times, in an address last
week before an OVERLOOKING aud
fence at Town Hall here, cited
gains made by Negroes and ex-
pressed optimism over future race
relations in the South.
In describing the States Rights
move, Carter said it was negative
but added that a third political
party might have wholesome in
fluence.
Race relations is one recurrent
theme in the changing South"
the liberal spokesman observed
He pointed out that any detl-
cheney or lack of vigilance in this
area is used against us all over
the world, by Communist and
darker peoples looking to AmeA
lea for guidance.
An example of the progress
made in race relations in the
South is the fact that some Ne
groes do vote, Carter observed.
In 1886 the franchise for the
Negro in the South was largely
non-exiStent. A few Negroes now
are being elected to- office by
their own as well as interested
and liberal whites, he said.
Carter praised colored police
men. He said they have cut the
rate of crime and delinquency in
Negro communities.
He lauded the role of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court in Civ
ing Negroes a voice in justice. AS
a result of this, Negroes are not
kept off of jurieS, he said.
In discussing lynching, Carter
pointed out that the average in
the South was less than two a
year, but added that these two
were too many. Mississippi which
led lynchings has not had one in
four years, according to the Town
Hall speaker.
The story of the acceptance of
Negroes by the student body has
not been fully told, Carter said.
He added that once the Supreme
Court ruled that colored stu
dents had to be admitted to GER

STARTLES
SOUTHERN
GOVERNORS

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-(ANP)
- Harry S. Ashmore, executive
editor of the Arkansas Gazette,
most liberal of Dixie'S publica-
tons, created a furore among
governors attending the Southern
governors conference which end
ed here last week when he took
a most implacable stand against
the general policy of segregating
Negroes throughout the South.
AShmore warned that if the
South is to prevent forced inter
mingling of the races by law, it
must consider that it should not
be forbidden by law.
The question of segregation to
any Southern office holder he
said should be a matter of direct
concern, for practical as well as
moral reasons.
In reviewing the relationship
between the two races, Ashmore
considered that it had been Every
good" over the years, but that if
it is to continue, "a great respon-
sibility falls upon the dominant
Whites, who control the sources
of power in this region"
The tenor of these remarks fell
upon deaf ears as far as Cows.
Fielding L. Wright of MissisSip-
pi, James Byrnes of South Caro-
lima and former governor Willard
F. Caldwell of Florida, now head
of civilian defense, were con-
cerned.
Very definitely AShmore's re-
marks were not received with any
degree of complacency.
AShmore declared:
I'VE cannot turn our backs upon
injustices simply because a black
man is its victim, nor can we find
a safe retreat in the sort of legal
buck-passing that recognize the
existence of an evil, but insists
it is somebody else's responsible
ity.

use the argument the racial prob

freedom under these ideologies.
"They are saying, if we accept
the offer made us by America we
may find ourselves in the same
situation as those Negro citizens
in America who are constantly
being segregated and discriminate
ed against in various ways :"
Turning to allegations on dis
elimination against the Negroes,
the speaker said:

come a dominant issue in the last

lude to the elections of next year,

There seems to be a feeling that
It would be better to go down In
defeat than to give all citizens full
equality"
Citing fear and silence as the
predominant characteristics OF the
young generation today, he called
for new ideas.
"No great social changes were
ever wrought in an atmosphere
of conformity" he noted.

president of the local ACHR
chapter, introduced Henderson.

"The world is being divided

vast mass of people outside of
these two great aggregations who
have not yet made up their minds
