ZION BAPTIST

Palm and Baptisimal Sunday,
April Is, 1862 was a great day at
Zion Baptist Church. The wor-
shippers rejoiced when the COM
bined choirs sung Jerusalem, under
the direction of Mr.. Willie B. Hale,
and when our pastor Rev. ]. r.
Holloway delivered the message,
ride on King Jesus, taken from
Mark IL: lilo.
The minister stated that Christ
ians should pause and reexamine
themselves in the light Of the
Significance of this day. For as
Jesus faced the jeers and the
Hosanna cheers - pressing ever
onward to his goal, he exemplified
courage. There was something hid
den in Jesus personality that caus-
ed the people to want to set Him
up as a King. Because everywhere
Jesus had gone, He helped, healed
and uplifted people. Many thought
He would become material King,
but Jesus wouldn't let this change
his destiny, because the love Of
God is sufficient.
In conclusion the Pastor stated
that 'if we had Christians today
who would not let anything throw
them of their course Of exempli-
fled courage and letting the knocks
of the crowd fall on deaf ears, we
coud ride on - even as Jesus rode,
to the finishing goal.

Look at Jerusalem. Taking his
text from Luke 19:41-42, the min
lister recounted how Jesus had
wept because of the spiritual blind
ness and spiritual rebellion of the
people. This has been the tragedy
of man throughout the ages
from Adam & Eve to our day. DR..
Massey continued that today,
Jesus weeps over our cities and
nations. Moreover, the church Is
often too weak to take a stand
for what is right. DR.. Massey
pointed out that often right Is on
the scaffold and wrong is on the
throne.
The minister emphasized that
Jesus did not stop with weeping
over the tragedy Of human folly
land neither should wei but he
drew close to the city in triumph
and in glory.
DR.. Massey concluded that, to-
day, the Christ Of triumph offers
the redeeming hand of fellowship.
All our past sins should be put
behind us and faith and repent
ance employed to carry us through.
Jesus Christ wants to enter our
hearts today, If we but let Him in

This was the text and subject

Our minister Rev. Harris stated
Jesus was on His way to the

When the news that the Prophet

There were many that seemed
to be His friends, some pulled off
their long cloaks and cast them
in the road, and others broke
branches from the trees, and
spread them in the way-they were
shouting and singing.
A few days later some Of these

As Unions Strike
CONTINUED from Page II

Continued from Page l.
In an effort to secure a new con.
tract by negotiation.
The main issues in dispute the
union official stated are some job
security clauses, fringe benefit:
and wages.
Swans letter to the STAR and
TRIBUNE employees said the COM
pany had offered drivers and
printers a two-year contract with
wage increases Of 10 cents an hour
the first year and eight cents the
second year.
Swan added: This offer would
increase the drivers hourly pay
the first year of the contract tc
$2.99 for day work and $3.14 for
night work. These hourly wages
would be among the highest for
drivers in the Upper Midwest.
The company offer would In
crease the printers hourly pay the
first year of the contract to $3.891s
for day work and $4.05h for night
work.
At the present time, these would
be the highest hourly pay rates
for printers in any of the 80 larg-
est us. cities.
Hourly wage scales for Star and
Tribune mailers, stereotypers
pressmen and engravers are among
the highest paid by metropolitan
newspapers, Swan answered.
The unions position has been
according to Mr.. Ameln that they
have attempted all along to COM
promise in every way to secure q
contract without resorting to a
strike.
Ameln stated the unions In.
volved are sorry for the incon-
venience caused to the public but
felt after all this time the action
they took were unavoidable.
The union official pointed out
that the pressmen and the stero-
type unions contracts expired
March 1, and that no progress has
been made in negotiations with
the company on tehir contracts.
A pressman spokesman claimed
the company was trying to take
away benefits enjoyed under prior
contracts for the past Is years.
Publisher Swans letter stressed
the company was doing everything
In its power to end what he termed
a tragic and unnecessary strike.
He stated eight unions are in.
volved in the present strike and
that three are picketing the plant
The eight unions are those his

piring in December, 1861 or in the
first half of 1862.

Industry & Govt. Too!
Americas Negroes
Victims Of Some
Unions Job Bios

New York. - Americas Negro
worker is getting a raw deal.
He's being excluded from many
kinds of skilled jobs, held down
in other kinds - and by the very
unions that should be doing the
most to help him. Industries and
government agencies too have
joined what amounts to a three
way conspiracy to keep Negroes
in the lowest jobs at the poorest
pay with the least chance Of pro-
motion.
These charges are made in the
May Readers Digest by veteran
labor reporter Lester Velie, who
cites a long list Of unions that
automatically exclude Negroes
from membership. Says Velie:
You'd look far and wide before
finding a Negro electrician or
sheet-metal worker, stone cutter
or steamfitter, bricklayer or print
er. Negroes are equally rare In
dozens Of other skilled crafts,
where hiring is done through the
unions and where the unions don't
admit Negroes.
Exclusion from unions is a
double-barrelled weapon against
the Negro. 1t affects him now be-
cause it slams doors leading to
better jobs. 1t affects him for
the future because he can't get
into many of the 1900 registered
apprentice programs, which act as
training grounds for tomorrow's
craftsmen. In a hangover from
medieval days apprenticeship are
handed down by sponsors, often
from father to son to grandson.
Unsponsored outsiders are not per-
mitted. Because there are so few
Negroes in skilled craft unions,
there are obviously no sponsors
for Negro would-be apprentices.
Investigations have shown not
one Negro in apprentice programs
in Fort Wayne, Milwaukee, Min
neapolis, Washington, Baltimore
and Atlanta, among other cities.
In Newark, N. ]. only two Of $500
apprentices were Negroes. Fewer
than one percent Of Chicago's
$3.50 apprentices are Negroes. De-
troit has not one Negro among
$40 in an apprentice program con-

iation and the United Auto Work.
ers Union.
Federal and state agencies help
to promulgate the discrimination
by financial support of vocational
training programs, now totaling
more than 200 million dollars.
Federal officials estimate some
five million craftsmen will be
needed by 1870, says Velie. BY
barring Negroes from their fair
share Of these jobs we are not only
practicing rank discrimination but
are depriving the nation Of a valu-
able potential source Of skilled
manpower.
Federal action to cut off funds
from defense contractors who dis
criminate, and enforcement Of
anti-closed shop provisions Of the
Labor Management Act can help
to avoid this situation and to pro-
vide equal opportunities to which
Negroes are entitled.

In a series of rapid moves
Monday night the Fairbanks

which calls for a special Bond
Election July II for the issuance
of $l,250,000 in revenue bonds
for the purchase and installation
OF small power generating unit
to supply peaking power during
the winter.
The rapid action was taken "be-
cause an emergency exists and there
is an urgent need for additional
power The Bond Election had
originally been scheduled to be
placed on the ballot at the time of
the August primary election. With
a minimum amount of discussion,
Ordinance 1157 was passed.
Another Ordinance, l149. which
provides for the holding of Bond
Election on the issuance of $8,775,-
600 IN revenue bonds for additional
| generating facilities was also passed
! These facilities would be construct
ed during the next three years,
provided power purchase agree
ment is reached with GVEA.
This election will be held at the
time of the fall general election
The Council placed in first read
ing Ordinance 1855, which would
allow the Council to sell 33 acres
of land in the hospital reserve to
the Sisters of Charity for the cree
ton of a new hospital The price of
the land was set at $4,000. The
land is in the area bounded by
Lathrop St, Cowles, 10Th, and Nc
Carthy st.
Under communications, the Coun-
Gil learned that a bid for scavang-
ing privileges at the City dump had
been misplaced last week. Since
only one bid was read last week,
the contract was awarded to Fair
banks Garbage Disposal Co.
The misplaced bid. it turned out
was higher than that of Fairbanks
Garbage Disposal, but it was learned
that the bid had been made by
Kenneth J. Vetter, City employee
City Attorney Barry Jackson ex
planned that a waiver would have
to be issued if Vetter were awarded
the contract. The Council did no
! reconsider the bids.
Counc:lwoman Sylvia RIagstae
sharply criticized the City bidding
