Oil Price
Hike IS
Condemned

A letter to President Eisen.
hover from the Oil. Chemical
and Atomic Workers has sharp
Iy condemned the oil industry's
claim that current price hikes
are justified by the unions re-
centIy-won six percent wage In
crease.
The letter. written by 0CAW
Vice President B. J. schafer,
told the President that during
the past decade our wage in
creases have been significantly
smaller than the increases in
the productivity Of oil workers s.
Schafer pointed out that the
President has taken the posi-
ton that wage increases should
conform roughly with productiy-
ity. He noted that unit labor
costs have remained remark
ably stable in the oil industry
for many years and can by no
means be cited as a reason for
increasing prices"
The OcAW official offered the
President the unions coopera-
tion in helping TO curtail infla-
ton, but said that "1nLor costs
should not be cited as a cause
for initiation when such Is not
the case"

VIII Bdptisfs Vote Against
Segregation at Convention?

We are marching IN a new Day
and we simply meet in Louisville
to affirm it. Therefore, it will be
better not to fight, main and kill;
but rather to give Thanks and off
er Praise to Almighty God who has
led us into the Sunlight of this
hour.
Let us go TO Louisville deter
mined that we shall be brothers
in Christ" There is no earthly rea-
son why we cannot conduct our
business with charity, dignity and
order. Let us close ranks and
end the disunity, enmity and dis
harmony that have characterized
our Convention too long. II the
forces for the Constitution win,
then all Of us will win. And, what
is more important the Cause OF
Christ win win. Baptists will not
vote against Integration because
our basic belief Is unity
The Omaha guide., 1957-08-23

As the Convention Session ap-
proaches us II becomes more and
more apparent that the fight to
preserve Tenure in the Constitu-
tion is not a mere clash involving
Personalities. No longer is It the
opinion Of thinkers" that we shall
meet in Louisville to accept or re-
ject a certain Personality. But,
the real issue is, are we going TO
join the evil forces, we so greatly
oppose in their fight against In
tegration7 In the face of all the
charges and counter-charges there
arises one question - Can Negro
Baptists afford Ito bow at a time
like this?"
It has become crystal clear that
our fight Is a normal fight rather
than a Political one. The cry for
'the old way" is reaching loud
proportions and nothing is being
left undone to make It heard. We
hear arguments Of the negative
effects of Tenure and its possible
harm to the Convention down to
the local Church. These are but
the dying groans Of an old order
about 10 be buried. The outstand-
ing brilliancy Of its leadership can
not save it. Indefinite Tenure of
office has outlived its day even a
mong Baptists who are thought TO
be unwieldy, unmanageable and
unprogressive. There are those
who think that Baptists are SO un-
thoughtful and gullible that
change" is impossible. These
opinions do not even have to be
argued, or debated because Bap-
lists generally are for Tenure.
Since much has been written
and talks have been carried on for
months. 1t viii not be necessary
to preach a Sermon on this issue
now. Let me offer three simple
reasons why Tenure viii prevail in
the National Baptist Convention,
Incorporated, despite arguments to
the contrary. They are aslfolIows:
I've cannot admit now that
we are different.
2-We cannot admit now that
we are limited in leadership.
3-We cannot admit now that we
are not ready for integration.
There are many other reasons,
but these thre are the most basic
ones. Too many Baptists have
fought for "New Day" to be de-
feated now that it is in sight. To
do SO would betray all that DR..
Martin Luther King, Jr., and all
Of the other militant Baptist lead
ers have fought for and accomp-
lished. There is no turning back
of the hands of the clock nowi The
Pendulum has swung forward and
it is taking US all along with it.
