in jobs, has hit telephone industry
workers.
Bell System employment dropped
by $4,000 jobs during the first five
months Of 1868 while the number
of telephones in use increased by
nearly 1 million, according to fig
ures from industry sources cited
by the Communications Workers.
Some operating companies have
introduced part time work. One
company, according to CWA, has
offered early pensions to some
older workers.
Hardest hit Of Bell subsidiaries
has been Western Electric, espec-
tally in installation work. More
than 5000 installers have been
laid off, with more to go.
Merrimac Valley, Mass, has been
hardest hit Of Western Electric
manufacturing plants represented
by CWA, with 1850 layoffs since
late in 1857. Workers also have
been furloughed at Duluth, Mimi. ;
Lincoln, Nebr., and greensboro, N.
Y, and in sales. The new plant at
Decatur, ILL.,, has been closed.
The union has a seven-member

Consider The Turtle?

Consider the turtle. He makes progress only when
his neck is out"
Isn't that good slogan? What need today is
few people who will stick their neck out for principle
Who won't just sit idly by when wrong needs to be
righted Who won't keep still when a ms-statement is
made Who won't be so everastngly trying to get in
with people, that they lose whatever individuality they
may possess.
Of course it takes lot of courage to stick your
popular One of the truest things Woodrow Wilson ever
said ut is just as hard to do your duty when
sneering at you, when they're shooting at you"
It is only human to want people to like you-so you
agree with them But did you stop to think that
the person you never get away from is your
self? And if you don't live up to yourself how can you
have any liking for yourself?
We a nation because few men were willing
to stick their necks out for freedom We settled
tnent because hundreds willing to stick their
neck out and brave untold hardshps establish better
of life for their children We have grown and pros
pered because thousands willing to stick their
necks out and fight for schools for children for better
living conditions, for decent housing, for hospitals
what of those who stuck their necks out and died in the
cause of research? We fought Civil War for the
rights of men to be free.
Is too much to ask that each of us as individuals
stick our necks out for the right we see it?
Consider the turtle. Why does he stick his neck
out? So that he where he is going.
A who sticks his neck out for right is follow
ing an ideal He has goal and he is heading toward
morasses of compromise, the blank wall of ndffer
ence. man with the courage to stick his neck out is
man of faith. He knows that the best way out of
difficulty is straight through it.
Never have we needed such men more. Will you
STICK your neck out for right?

Gated portions of the Macon area.
There were questions as to whe-
Their some of these would receive
more Negroes than they wanted.
Also receiving attention were such
matters as division of revenues
and responsibility for various gov
ernmental functions.
The decision of the group not to
recommend abolition, at this time,
however, is not to be considered
any setback for the ultimate goal
of preserving white supremacy in
Macon. The pressure for such &C
ton was not great enough at this
time, the threat of Negro voting
ascendancy was also not great en-
ough.
The committee did propose that
other methods of maintaining white
supremacy be studied. One Of
these was a suggestion that unit
system of voting might be incor-
porated in such a manner as to give
whites greater proportionate
weight in balloting. This proposal,
however, was very vague. SINH
larry indefinite were proposals for
other methods of appointing coun-
ty officials, perhaps through the
Legislature.
The study committees report is
not being taken in Alabama as any
retreat from a drastic move. 1t
simply seems to have been some
what premature, and the citzenry
and legislators making the study
were insufficently disturbed to en-
sure success in any move to push,
in the next legislative session, any
Macon County abolition proposal.
The sentiment is still to keep
control in white hands. Much now
will depend on any future actions
by Negroes or the federal civil
rights commission to open the bal
lot boxes more to Negroes than has
been the case in the past.
Thus far, Negroes have not ex-
erted any great pressure, and as
far as is known, the federal gov
eminent has not greatly concerned
itself with this particular aspect
of the race problem in Alabama
Therefore "wait and see" atti-
tude, at least for time, is likely
TO prevail.

There also were resolutions

REV. JOHN R. PERKINS
BELIEVE GODS WORD AND
BE SAVED.
When the Lord gave us peace here
Every race down here will be light
No more fighting our color you see
We can live in this world without
a fight.
Colors has cost most of our trouble
The Caucasions claim they are
white
The Bible speaks of only one white
So why not We believe the Bible
is right.
The Lord created this world you
see
Made one white man We are told
Blew breath into his nostrils you
see
Man became to be living soul.
Peace comes thus the will of our
Lord
His soul in our heart is all right
We cannot obey the word of the
Lord
We cannot live in Gods home in a
fight.
God loves us all he is a peace for
man
His love is what we all need
It comforts US when in sorrow you
And a hungry soul he will feed
When sorrow come knock on your
door
Brings death to claim your loved
ones
To leave that home full of sorrow
Yet Gods will have to be done
I hope some one will read and
think
And get on the kings highway
Jesus said his yoke is easy
For all churches to go his way.
How can a man lead Gods people
all right
When he is on the wrong highway
The kings highway IS the way to
salvation
But mans way is a way that want
pay.
Christ say l am the way, believe
ON him
No other Christ to obey
Jesus said if be lifted up
l will do all the training both night
and day.

his defeat for reelection to Con-

was the next ranking public official

spokesman said. Nothing political
was intended"
Brown, when notified Of Ellis
worth's warning, bowed out of the
parade picture but was to address
the 1000 convention delegates.
Union Leaders Shocked
The associations top officials re-
piled Immediately to Ellsworth's
telegram, stating that they were
shocked, chagrined and embar-
raised" by his warning.
In his wire, Ellsworth said: "Fed-
eral employees are prohibited by
civil service rule and the Hatch
Act from engaging in partisan po-
litical activities, which include
marching in a partisan political
parade.
"Have been advised the NALC
in convention plans a parade of
association members with Edmund
G. (Pat) Brown, Democratic can
didate for governor, as grand mar
shall. You should be advised of
the possibility that this parade
led by gubernatorial candidate
could be construed as a political
parade for the support of a par
ticular partisan candidate and thus
violation of the Hatch Act"
The Letter Carriers reply
charged that Ellsworth had been
previously misinformed" and
pointed out that in 1852 Pres
Eisenhower spoke at the NALC
convention when he was a candi-
date for the presidency.
"Only partisan zealots could con-
