1t was Mr.. Smelling, with brief

proudly. The letter did the trick"
And so it appeared. Mr.. Smelling
produced thick envelope full of
designs for the new lock. which
was without question clever. As

this was a lock to be used on a

Actually, it's the idea that counts,

COCA-COLA
BAN IN FULL
SWING IN N. Y.

NEW YORK CITY - A boycott
against the Coca-Cola Company
was declared this week by the
National Fair Play Committee
which is headed by Municipal
Court Justice Charles E. Taney.
Herbert L. Bruce, executive sec
retary of the committee, an
nounced the boycott and added
that Justice Toney, who will re-
tire October 81, would devote
full time to the campaign be-
ginning next month.
1--WE have launched this boy
colt in behalf of the people living
and working in Harlem" Mr..
Bruce said, ''but it is our hope
that the little Harlems in every
major city in America will give
us the support we will need to
win the victory we seek"
BLOCKS NEGROES
In explaining why the boycott
had been called, Mr.. Bruce stat
ed that nearly a month ago mo
vember 21) James A. Farley had
made a speech in Tampa, Fla,
where he called upon President
Truman to drop the fight for civil
rights legislation.
"Since then, we have checked
the record on Mr.. Farley and dis
covered that, as State and Ma
tional Democratic Chairman, he
had done little to encourage Ne
gro participation in political af-
fairs" Mr.. Bruce said.
when a minority group is
hindered politically, we conclud-
ed, it is also blocked economical
ly. So we checked further.
"Then, we learned that Mr..
Farley, as chairman of the board
of the Coca-Cola Export Corpora
tion, had done even less about
applying the principle of FEPC
to the everyday existence of
people, regardless of race, creed
or color.
"We discovered that the Coca
Cola Company of New York dos
not hire a single Negro salesman
distributor, clerk or stenographer.
The Miami times., 1951-01-06

We linked that ugly fact to Mr..
Farley's speech and concluded
that, when a Jim Farley tells a
group of employers in Florida
that fair play and the fight for
Justice should be abandoned be-
cause the South is threatened, he
was simply reflecting the atti-
tude of the company which en-
ploys him.
"That demonstrates how big
business is frequently used to
smother the political and eco
nomic groups. We regret very
much to find Mr.. Farley agreeing
with Negro-hating Dixiecrats like
Gov. Herman Talmadge and Rep
resentative John Rankin"
Other officers of the National
Fair Play Committee are Miss
Rose Morgan, owner of a chain of
beauty salons here, Daniel L.
Burrows, former Assemblyman,
who is now City Marshal, and
Carl Dunbar Lawrence, labor ed
itor of the New York Amsterdam
News.
Lawrence, who will serve as
field secretary of the boycott
committee, revealed that Is ex-
ecutive directors would be chosen
at a meeting Monday night and
that a bureau of 100 speakers,
under the direction of Assembly,
man Hulan E. Jack, was being
formed. 1t was said also that the
campaign for jobs, especially in
the white collar field, will be di-
rected at other soft drink comp
anies when the Coco-Cola drive
ends.

they will appeal for his exemp-

which fixes a clubs maximum sal

In the first five games of the
