The decision was announced late
Wednesday along with issuance of
a cease and desist" order by w.
f. Khmsey. state commissioners of
labor, who conducted two-day
hearing on the case.
Kimsey's findings were that the
union had excluded five Negro rail
workers from its membership be-
cause of their race and color. Ex-
clusion on such grounds is forbid
den by the new FEP statute.
In three-page Finding of Fact
and Order" released by kimsey it
was stated:
1.-THE commissioner finds
the fact TO be that there is a def
mite prejudice against members OF
the Negro race by some of the
members of the lodge the his
tory of policies practices of the re-
spondent lodge has been persis-
tently and continuously one
of entire exclusion from member
ship of Negro persons.
In a statement issued Thursday
State Labor Commissioner Kimsey
said.
1.-THE commissioner finds that
prima facie case against the said
lodge has been made and
that the respondent has not.
affirmatively, come forward with
sufficient credible evidence to SUI
stain the burden thereby imposed
on it of proving that discrimina-
ton because of race or color was
not the basis for the rejection of
the applications of the complain
ants"
The union claimed at the hear
ing that the five Negroes had been
rejected through a secret vote Of
the membership as provided by the
organization constitution. Off
Gals of the union denied that racial
discrimination had anything to do
with "blackballing" the five plain
tiffs.
The FEP statute provides that
any order issued by the commits
sioner may be enforced by manda-
mus or injunction or by suit in
equity to compel specific perform
ance of such order.

WHY NOT SELL DEMOCRACY

It seems like the harder the forces of Democracy
try to work to improve race relations, the more difficulties
they encounter from the evil spirits of Jim Grow.
Last week the Khan staged a shin dig in South Car
DINA, wounding an aged invalid and his cripple son, a
victim of World War II. Only this week these same sa-
tanic spirits, operating on the premise that "White is
might, and always right, regardless of the consequences,
entered the home of a Negro woman and beat her, and
because she is a Negro she cannot bring charges against
them.
Both of these incidents should have made front
page headlines in the nations top daiies, north and south,
but they didn't. There lies the seriousness of this whole
pattern of "st back and let events and history take it's
course. That is exactly what is happening throughout the
world today.
True, any big paper that dares to frontline such
incidents in bold headlines will lose some advertising
clients, but if they sit idly by while the antidemocratic
press in other parts of the world make hay of our fall
acies, we may not be able to maintain the free enterprise
system.
It has become increasingly evident that a majority
of the folks in the world today are quite undecided just
which way to look for a better world in the future. Am
erica can be a light to all these folks, but it must clean
out the forces of racial discrimination against Negroes and
other minorities. 1t must Outlaw these forces, and let the
world know that it will not stand for oppression nowhere
in these United States.
We advertise and sell everything else on radio and
Television, why not settle down and begin selling real
democracy here, in these United States.

AS for the armed forces, Sci
bert said, "The armed services and
draft boards agree under certain
conditions to accept these men. It
is not the intention of the proba-
ton department to unload ex-con-
victs and probationers of bad re-
cords on either the armed forces
or industry plants, but is believed
by careful screening, both units
will be able to fill their ranks with
plenty of good manpower.
In the last war, it will be re-
membered, the draft Boards ask
ed permission to use probationers
to meet their quotas and while this
has notyet reached the same status,
it is very likely to come soon.
Seibert pointed out that most
parole and probation violators are
those who are unable to secure
employment or join the armed
forces because of their records.
With no employment it is only
natural for them to turn to crime
for existance.
