SEEN WITH MY BLUE EYES—
Just hundreds of little kiddies
having the tme of their live8 on
the slides and other play ground
equipment having a merry time.
When they got tired, they made a
bee line for the feed basket got
their fill and headed again for
the slides. Nobody got hurt. All
in all, everybody had a wonderful
time. I wonder why the City Park
Deparement don't put some slides
and swings on the north side. I
am sure they would be appreciated
by the young folks and the old.
I am positively they won't rust
from lack of usage. There must
have been 1,060 kids alone at the
picnic. 21st and Burdette St. would
make a wonderful place for a play
ground on the extreme end. I think
I would like to see the plan car
ried out. Anyway here’s hoping
that someday the kids on the
Northside will have a playground
fully equipped like they have in
other sections of the city.

Drive For Vote
Started In South1
Birmingham, Ala., August 10—
(CN A)—Under the slogan of “Full
dtlzenshlp Rights for All.” 10,
000 Negro young peaple in fifteen
Southern states in a crusade for
the right to vote. The organiza
tion plans an intensive 12 months
campaign^ *
For several months past officials
of the Congress have been care
fully studying the laws pertain
ing to voting in every Southern
state. The youth volunteers will
receive thorough instruction, on
the law governing registration
in their respective communities,
on poll tax laws and other ques
tions pertaining to the franchise.
This knowledge will be spread a
mong the disfranchised section of
the Negro population to increase
their interest in civic affairs.
The methods to be uned have
been selected on the basis of
the past experience of the Youth
Congress in citizenship drives.
Specials efforts will be made to
reach finst voters before high poll
taxes have accumulated. Citizen
ship Institutes will be held where
people will be instructed in the
procedure of registering and qual
ifying cUs voters.
“The ‘Full Citizenship Rights
for AH’ campaign,” said Edward
E. Strong, Executive Secretary of
the Congress, “is an important de
velopment among Southern Ne
gro youth. It indicates that Ne
gro young people are working to
achieve the most fundamental and
essential right in a democracy
the right to vote. We have come
to recognize the ballot as the ma
jor instrument for attaining ade
quate housing, improved health
conditions for the rural youth in
the South, and for the general
raising of the cultural level of our
youth,”
Th« Birmingham Council of the
Congress already has begun its
voting drive, assisting the Bir
mingham branch of the NAACP.
Registration books in this city o
pen August 9th. A series of meet
ings each week up to that date
is scheduled in the drive to get
a large number of Negroes to reg
ster.
3,000 JOIN POLICE BRUTALITY
PROTEST
Detroit, Aug. 10, (ANP-—More
than 3,000 people jammed into Be
thel A ME church Sunday after
noon at a demonstration of pro
test against police brutality which
has been running rampant in this
city for some time in the form of
wanton killings and beatings with
out slightest provocation and en
tering private homes without
.search warrants.
A citizens committee headed up
by Dr. J. J. McClendon, president
of the local branch of the NAACP,
has decided to call a halt on these
police oficers who set themselves
up as judge, jury and execution
er.
Both the police ccV.imissioner
and the county prosecutor have
stedfastly refused to do anything
about it and both have been ex
tremely hostile towards fhe group
whenever a committee appeared be
fore them. The prosecutor would
not issue warrants for policemen
unless authorized to do so by the
commissioner.
It is also believed here the mayor
himself condones this sort of thing |
as he has not attempted to put a
stop to it alhough in every case
the mayor was acquainted with
the facts. This was brought out in
the meeting Sunday before Atty.
Charles Houston of Washington
delivered a stirring address.
Atty. Houston said among other
things that police brutality is on
ly the “second stage of lynch
ing” and that the club is not held
alone by the policeman on the
beat who wields it but is held
jointly by higher officials.
The group has been aroused to
fighting pitch and is going into
courts. They have petitions out
seeking 50,000 signatures for the
removal of the police Commission
er. This will be laid on the desk
of the mayor and then if something
is not done, citizens will know
that the city’s chief executive is
in favor of police brutality. The
next step then will be to seek re
moval of the mayor at election
time.

From Packinghouse
Workers Organizing
Committee
Chicago, August 4 Cio packing
house workers yesterday scored a
signal victory in a National Labor
Relations Board election at Ar
mour’s 31st Street auxiliary plant
! here. On a “yes or no” ballot the
Packinghouse Workers Organizing
: Committee, CIO, received 660 votes
to 148 in the negative.
This brings to 15 the number of
Armour plants throughout the
country in which the CIO union
has won elections or been certi
fied as sole collective bargaining
agent by the NLRB.
A similar vote taken in the Cud
ahy plant in Denver, Colorado,
last Monday, gave the CIO union
a majority of 142 to 16.
Meanwhile there is no indica
tion that Armour and Company
has altered its position and ac
cepted the union’s offer to meet
and discuss the basis on which a
mutually acceptable contract might
be worked out.
Officials of the PWOC declare
that Armour, by its refusal to
parley, i9 forcing a nationwide
strike in the industry.
Don Harris, national airevwi
the union, stated:
“Armour seems determined to
settle thns dispute by force. The
company has even refused the re
quests by the federal Department
of Labor conciliators and the Chi
cago City Council’,, Committee on
Labor and Industrial Relations to
negotiate the question of collec
tive bargaining.
“The nationwide strike which
seems inevitable will work a hard
ship on the whole country particu
larly the live stock farmers. Yet
Armour shows no concern over the
gravity of the problem.
“The farmers of this country
have themselves had ’bitter exper
ience,, with the “Big Four’’ pack
ers. We believe that the union’s
program of more employment and
better pay checks will do much
toward increasing purchasing pow
er and providing a sorely needed
domestic market for farm pro
ducts.”

The PWOC, a CIO affiliate,
charged Armour and Company
with violating the Wagner Act in
the course of a labor board elec
tion in Armour’s Oklahoma City;
plane.
The CIO union claims that Ar
mour’s “vicious and illegal actions
have demonstrated that an honest
elect’on in any Armour plan is
impassible,’’ according to Don Har
ris, national director of the
POWC.
The losg of the Oklahoma City
election by the narrow margin of
333 to 308 on a “yes Or nor’’ bal
lot was attributed by union of
ficials to anti-union circulars sign
ed 'by Armour and Company urg
ing employes to vote against the
union, and to visits made by com
pany foremen to workers in their
homes.
Charges against the company
were filed together with a demand
that a scheduled poll of Armour
workers in Ft. Worth, Texas, be
called off due to the company's
illegal actions. Similar charges
had been filed in Chicago follow
ing the distribution of an anti
union c\rcular on the day previous
to the election won by the PWOC
in the Chicago 31st street by
products plant August 3.
A national strike among Armour
plants has been threatened by
PWOC leaders should the company
continue to refuse to meet with
tho union to negotiate a contract.
The un’on has already been cer
tified by the NLBR as sole collec
tive bargaining agent in 15 major
Armour units.
