David Livingston, president of
District 65 of the Retail, Wholesale
and Department Store Workers
Union, one of some 10 labor organ
izations taking part in the action.
Civil Rights organizations par
ticipating in the boycott include
the NAACP, the Congress Of Rae
ial Equality and the Negro-Amer-
lean Labor Council. The Urban
League is supporting the boycott
but its policy is not to picket, it
was stated.
The boycott pits the might Of
labor and civil rights organizations
against merchants and prosegrega-
ton officials in Birmingham. It is
designed to pressure the chain
stores into ending their segrega-
ton policies concerning serving
and hiring Negro citizens in Birm-
ingham.
The four chain stores are F.
w. WOOIwOrth, s. HI. Kress, III.
L. Green and j. j. Newberry all
Of which have outlets in Birm-
ingham. Officials Of the firms
made no immediate comment.
Livingston said the boycott was
to remain in force until 1.-The Birm-
ingham situation is settled" 1t
would buttressed from time to
time" by other nationwide demon
STATIONS, he said.
This will be the start of a ma
tional boycott campaign, asking all
people of good will not to buy in
these stores until Birmingham
stores are desegregated," he ex-
planned
Livingston charged the chains
had broken an agreement made
last September to desegregate
stores In Birmingham because
'1ocal pressure (there) was too
great" The national boycott will
counterbaIance local pressure
and show the chains that they
will lose business all over the
nation II they continue to segre-
gate in Birmingham.
Other labor unions participating
in the boycott include: the Brother
hood Of Sleeping Car Porters,
headed by A. Philip Randolph; the
United clearinghouse Workers; the
United Auto Workers, headed by
Walter Reuther; the international
Brotherhood Of Transfers; the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers;
the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union; the Hatters Un-
ion; the International Union Of
Electrical Workers, and the Re-
tail Clerks International Assn.
Several student and other groups
also are supporting the protest.

We Cannot Give Up

Every great institution in our society
has benefited from the contributions Of
Negro Americans. We are an integral part
of the fabric Of America. Our blood, sweat
and tears have gone into the wars to save
this country, and into the business, educa-
tonal and cultural life Of this nation. We
cannot give UP what our forefathers helped
to develop. Our problems today win not be
solved by such escape techniques as with

ties were 1851 in the two bri-
gades. Another brigadier, Car
not Posey, was wounded in the
leg trying to support Cooke and
Kirkland and died a month lat

Cooke came from one Of the
famous divided families in the
Civil War. His father was Maj.
Gen. Philip st. George Cooke,
who remained with the Union
in 1861. Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart
was the brother-in-law Of the
younger Cooke.
The Federal troops in the
fight at Bristoe belonged to the

by Maj. Gen. G. K. Warren.
Federals Screened
They were approaching Bris-
toe from the south after a long
march and were screened from
the Confederates by woods.
Warren heard the preliminary

Lee Wrote To His Wife
About Bull Run Battle
United Press International

A note Of Illustration crept
into the letter Confederate Gen.
Robert E. Lee wrote to his
wife, Mary, on Oct. 10, 1863.
Describing the maneuvering
of his Army of Northern Virgil
MA against the Federal army
of the Potomac, Lee told his
wife:
g. Our advance went as far
as Bull Run. Il could have
thrown him (the enemy furth-
er back, but | saw no chance
Of bringing him to battle and it
would have only served to fa-
tigue our troops by advancing
further.
''If they had been properly
provided with clothes / would
certainly have endeavored to
have thrown them north of the
Potomac. But thousands were
barefooted, thousands wit h
fragments Of shoes and all
without overcoatS, blankets or
warm clothing.
Il could not bear to expose
them to certain suffering, on an
uncertain issue.
1--WE could only come up with
their rear, punished them a lit
tie.
Il think my rheumatism is a
little better. Yet l still suf-
fer. >"
Lee had been franker about
what happened on the advance
in a letter to President Jeffer-
son Davis two days before.
q. We have captured about
sixteen hundred prisoners, and
inflicted some additional losses
upon the enemy. Our own
loss was slight, except in an
action at this place, where it
was quite severe, and l regret

He ordered a quick attack by
his two leading brigades. Other
units were coming up in sup
port.
The ConfederateS attacked
with a will. But as they came
near tn e embankment Of the
Orange & Alexandria railroad
they met a terrific artillery and
musket fire on their right flank.
This fire came from U n i O n
troops concealed behind the
embankment, troops which Hill
had not known were there. Too
late came the realization that
this part Of the field had not
been secuted.
No Choice
The two Confederate brigades
had no choice except to at
tempt to drive out the FEEDER
ais. It was too late to turn
back.
In attempting to carry the
embankment they were Slaugh-
tered. One of the brigadeS,
commanded by Gen. John r.
Cooke, lost 700 men in the at

tured. The 9th North Carolina,

Secretary Of War James Sed-

"the disaster at Bristoe Station
seems due to gallant but over
hasty pressing Of the enemy"
President Davis came to the
point.
There was a want Of
vigilance" he noted.
The day after the fight Hill
and Lee rode over the battle

what had happened.

when any part of Lees army
was ambushed.
At the time, Lee was maneu-

striking at its right flank.
AS Hills corps arrived at
Bristoe Station the banks Of
Broad Run, just north Of the

troops. Hills artillery threw
some shells into the lounging
FederalS on the south bank of
the creek and they scurried to

Hill came in for much
criticism for the BriStoe fight.
Too Hasty
II am convinced that l made
the attack too hastily" he
wrote in his report, "And at the
same time that a delay Of half
an hour, and there would have
been no enemy to attack. In that
event I believe / should equally
have blamed myself for not at
tacking at once"
