The Coasters" Fail To
Appear; Promoters
To Seek Redress

A Minneapolis corporation which
has been promoting public dances
featuring nationally known artists
had another attraction fail to ap-
pear Sunday, when THE Coasters" D."
singers did not appear for sched-
uled engagement at the Marigold
Ballroom.
This was the third time that
artists booked by the Progressive
Gents, Inc, have failed to make an
appearance.
The first artist who didn't show
despite a contract to do so the
corporation says was Joe Turner,
the singer.
The second occurrence of the
same type was the failure of Lit
tie Willie" Johns, whose signed
contract to appear was not kept.
In both instances the corpora
ton claims it has instituted action
to recover their advance payments
on the contracts and damages
which they say the corporation has
suffered.
At the Marigold Ballroom Sum-
day night when THE Coasters"
did not appear there was some dis
order by a few angry patrons who
insisted that they wanted their
money back.

but THE Coasters" the well ad-
vertised recording group were no
place to be seen.
Members of the corporation who
had planned to bring Jackie"

Writers Association of America.
Robinson who spent his entire
career in the majors with the
Brooklyn Dodgers had a lifetime
batting average of 81. He won
the Rookie of the Year Award in
1947; National League batting title
in 1949 and the, Most Valuable
Player award in the same year.
Robinson's career in his first
year was studded with handicaps
and he was kept under raps"-not
to openly resent slurs, from players
or fans about his race.
In the second year Branch
Hickey, Brooklyn boss at that time
told him he had been accepted as
player by the public and that
from then on he was free to con-
duct himself as all other players.
A good competitor, with terrific
courage Robinson continued to
play we'll but also refused to take
any insults or slurs from either
other players, the public or the
press.
Some Of the sports writers be-
gan to call him "chesty" and sug-
gest that he had the big head"
However Hickey spelled out the
New Robinson by reminding the
press boys that he was the same
Robinson but that he had been told
he no longer had to take any in
suits, as he was asked to do in his
first year.
Robinson's nomination to the
Baseball Hall of Fame was not
generally expected by the Negro
press despite the fact that it felt
he was entitled to the honor.
His outspoken support Of the
NAACP, his combativeness when
anybody attacked the Negro people
have made him less than popular
in us. racist circles but, nobody
could truthfully say he wasn't one

The first the general public
heard of it was in a report by
sportscaster D. ]. Leary of radio
station KDWB who roundly crit
icised Ryan's poor taste.
Leary's editorial comment
brought apologies to Battey and
Green from sponsors Of the BAN

Meantime the daily papers kept
quiet about the incident until Fri
day when the Minneapolis TRIB-
UNE carried a small account of
the incident buried inconspiciously

Saturday, Bill Boni, executive
sports editor of the Pioneer PRESS

ssure receives far less publicity
than more dramatic aspects of the
Negroes campaign for equal rights.
it is by all odds the most relent-
less discrimination to which Negro
citizens are now exposed.
Nor should these facts be for
gotten as national magazines,
sometimes for dubious motives,
parade the glittering array Of Ne
gro millionaires. There has certain
ly been an improvement in Negro
economic conditions in the South
as well as the North to which so
many colored citizens have gone
since 1910, but the patchwork of
discrimination and hardship Is
everywhere visible and is a griev-
GUS reproach to those who urge
the Negro leaders to slow down
their campaign for more reforms.
In a report which deserves to
rank as a classic statement, Mr..
Herbert Hill, the labor secretary
for the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, has documented what he calls
"the most extreme, rigid and sys-
tematic pattern of employment
discrimination" in the Southern
states. He blames trade unions as
well as industrial management for
this state of affairs; and federal
agencies come under his criticism
as well as local ones. He shows
that the Negro has been largely
shut out of the industrial growth
of the South since the end of the
war.
There are 100000 textile work.
ers in Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina. But there is ap-
parently not a single Negro en-
ployed as a weaver, spinner or
loom fixer. In South Carolina the
number Of textile workers rose
from $4,000 in 1918 to 122, 900 in
1860. But the percentage of Ne
groes in the textile labor force
fell from nine per cent to less than
five per cent over the same period.
Negro employment is negli-
gible In such major industrial
concerns as the General Motors
plant in Atlanta and Ford motor
company plants in Atlanta,
Memphis, Norfolk and Dallas.
In all these large manufactur-
ing plants Negroes are employed
almost exclusively as sweepers,
janitors, or toilet attendants. Four
Negroes were promoted for the
first time in production jobs for
the General Motors Chevrolet div
ision in Atlanta recently as a re-
suit of action by the NAACP.
At Atlanta Fisher Body Plant
The Fisher body plant of the
General Motors corporation in At
lanta is all-white and plant securi-
ty guards to keep Negroes from
even entering the hiring office to
file applications for employment.
Mr.. Hill points out that through
out Southern manufacturing in
dustries there are separate racial
seniority lines in collective bar
gaining agreements between man.
agement and trade unions. A Ne
gro worker with 20 years senior
ity in a Southern steel mill, paper
making factory, tobacco manufac-
turing plant or oil refinery may be
promoted" only from toilet at
tendant" to sweeper"
In nearly every paper mill in
the South that has a collective
bargaining agreement, two unions,
affiliated with the AFL-CIO, oper-
ate segregated locals and have dis
criminatory provisions in their
union contracts. The national ex-
ecutive Of the AFL-CIO has de-
clined to intervene to remedy this
situation. The same story can be
