CRYSTAL BIRL FAUSET WILL
NOT SEEK MRS. BETHUNE’S
POST
Philadelphia, Sept. 20 (ANP) —
Mrs. Crystal Bird Fauset, member
of the state legislature of Penn
sylvania, does not expect to leave
her present nost to take the place
now held by Mrs. Mary McLeod
Bethune as NYA director in
Washington.
There are several pertinent
reasons why the rumors which
have come from the nation’s capi
tal during the past month are in
correct. the brilliant and charm
ing young lawmaker declared
Tuesday as she sat in the living
room of her attractively furnish
ed and immaculately kept West
Philadelphia residence.
In the first place, she explained
the NYA job has never been prof
fered to her and the first she
had heard that there was any de
finite likelihood of her accepting
it was when she read the story
in the newspapers. Then she
■pointed out, she has just begun
work in her poet as a member of
the Pennsylvania as embly, her
election to that n" t marking the
1' rst time a Negro woman had
ever sat in the legis’ative halls
of any American commonwealth.
She is enjoying this new exper
iencc. she said, aside from the
clouds of tobacco smoke which en
velope her each working hour, and
she is growing accustomed to
that.
Mrs. Fauset has reason to be
plca.-ed with her prospects. In the
brief time she has served in the
statr,’ i capitol, sf’e has won the
respect of he(- fellow representa
tives. In the first place, she is
thoroughly familiar with public
affairs, her many years with the
national YWCA and tho Ameri
can Friend’s comittee having giv
en her that experience. Next, she
is a remarkable public speaker
and has more than held her own
with her male colleagues in the
d bates w' ich hav* taken placfe
cn the floor of the house. Al
'nugh she has served only seven
months and has intro luced sev
eral measures wnich, while they
did not pa s because her Democra
tic party ?c !n the minority, still
rttraricd attention becrur.e hey
era designed to help the entire
r pu’atirn and not her own r oup
alone.
Even the rumors that Mrs.
Fauset is already looking torward
congress in the near future are
wrong. It is true that many of her
admirers in Pennsylvania and oth
er states where she has been
speaking this year have expressed
a desire to see her in the national
law making body, thus becoming
the firat colored woman to go to
the national Legil'Cure; but she
wants to be realist. She feels
that the way is not open for a
colored woman to be elected to
Washington from Philadelphia,
and therefore she says she ha*
no; included a possibility in her
thinking.
The immediate objectives of
Crystal Bird Fauset, one would
gather, are to become an effec
tive and capable legislative rep
resentative of her district, two

District Chairman Says
Negro Nurses Will
Get Jobs in D.C.
New York, Sept, 21—Assurance
that Negro nur os would he em
ployed at Glen Dale sanitorium,
the District, of Columbia’s hospi
tal for tubercular pa.t'onts, was
given to the National Association
for the Advance * vP of Colored
People today by Representative
dennings Randolph, of West Vir
ginia, cha’rman of the Hcuse Dis
trict Committee.
Randolph made the statement
in r. letter to Walter White, exe-,
cutivo secretary of the NAACP
in response to a telegram dated ,
August 11 urging h>ui to back up
the D. C. Commissioner’s deter
mination to appoint NegTo nurses
from the civil service 1st to the j
hospital in accordance with the j
D. C. budget law.
The West Virginia solon wrote
•ho letter shortly after discussions
with Commissioner Hazen, and
Dr. George Ruhland, D. C. health
'ireetor. His letter said:
“I am pleaded to say that I have
taken up this matter with both ^
Commissioner Hazen and Dr. Ruh-'
'ind and I am advised that Negro |
nurses will be appointed at Glen
Hale Sanitorium. They will be ap
pointed when they arc certified j
by the Civil Service Commission
ind when vacanies occur for
which they might qualify. I feel
sure there will be no discrimina- j
tion.”
On.Monday, August 14, it was
learned that two white nurses had
resigned from the hospital staff
rather than work .with Negro
nurses. It was also learned that j
hospital officials were planning to
quarter Negro nurses outside the '
regular nurse3’ home. Approxima-1
tely fifty per cent of the patients
at the hospital are Negroes.
JUDGE FINES UNION $50€
Chicago, 111. Sept. 18—Is the
American worker entitled to free
dom of speech.
Superior Court Judge John J.
Lupe in his ruling against the
Chicago Newspaper Guild prohi
bits it. He found the Guild guilty
of violating an ancient anti-labor
injunction, and fined the union
$500.
For the months, members of
the Chicago Newspaptr Guild
were permitted freedom of speech
in their strike against William
Randolph Hearst’s Chicago
Herald-American and Sunday
Herald-American. Then seven
months after Superior Court
Judge G. Cleevland Niemeyer
granted the injunction, another
judge decided it was violated.
Hearst Counsel Edward Woods
announced: “We are going to fine
the American Newspaper Guild
out of business,” following Judge
Lupe’ decision, and immediately
proceeded to supplement his
statement by filing more petitions
against 'the Guild.
Wood’s specific charges are the
CNG and the ANG have no right
whatsoever to tell the public of
the huge firm* that advertise in
the Hearst papers. These concerns

H'earst, contributing money in an
attempt to defeat unionism.
Awaiting the answer to freedom
of speech is the entire Union rank
and file throughout tho nation.
Already unions and individual
have made known their great dis
pleasure to Judge Lupe for at
tempting to enforce injunctions as
a strikebreaking weapon. Numer
ous vigorous protests have been
sent to the Judge in the county
building here.
Meanwhile Guild Attorneys Ben
Meyers and Hart Baker are per
fecting an appeal which they will
place before the Illinois Supreme
Court at che October term.
Meyers and Hart refused 'to par
ticipate in the hearings against
the Guild attending court only in
the role of observers. The case
was originally set for Sept. 20
when Judge Lupe suddenly set
forward the hearing to Sept. 7.
giving the Guild’s lawyers less^
than four hours to prepare de
fense. The judge also refused to
grant a change of venue.
The injunction against the Chi
cago Newspaper Guild virtually
prevents the strikers from every
thing but breathing and is the
most un-A.merican action ever
taken by a court of justice, ac
cording to labOj- leaders.

At the same time, Walter

mission to hold up the signing of
contracts with tho Tampa com
pany for five new ships to cost
$1.814,430 each in order that a
clause might be inserted prohibits
ing discrimination in employment
on account of 'ace, c-eed or color.
Perfect DouMrCrrijiing
Tho Tampa situation was inves
tigated personally bv Secretary
White late in July. Highlights of
the NAACP memorandum.
rno rnmpn situat. on is a per
fect illustration of double-cross
ing of Negro workers by union
lily v hitism. Prirr to June 1, 1988
thn Tampa Sh'pbuil ling company
employe about 1.299 workers, di
vided between white and colored
nbotrS 50-50. Twelve Negroes and
one white man led in a strike
which in turn resulted in the
f’-’-mation of a union among the
workers, who, heretofore, had
torn unorganized.
The new union was l/ocal 1207
of the International Hod camera,
Building and Common Laborers
Un'on of America. A verbal agree
ment was made to continue the
division of the work on a 50-50
basis. Shor’Jy afterward, however,
one William Sullivan, white, rais
ed the question of Negro and
white union members meeting in
the same hall, vot:ng, etc. In the
.meantime the 'lampa company
sl«m 1 a closed shop rjcreement
which went to effect June 1, 193fc.
A a soon as this contract was
1 -ignr 1 the union was divided in
to wh'te and colored units, with
a white man, H. L. Sanders, as
business agent of the Negro unit.
Ho is said to have unbalanced the
ratio of jobs and to have continued
certifying more wh'te than Ne
groes.
When the colored union mem
bers complained they were given
" “custodian” by the Internation
al union. This custodan, Charles
Silva is known as an enemy of
Negroes, and Negro labor. He took
»11 hooks, papers and bank ac
counts out of the hands of the
Negro unit of the union.
Isarrea bv Boilermakers
As work progressed on the
ships then building, more and
more skilled and semi-skilled
workers were needed. Silva there
upon organized a local of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Boiler
makers, Iron Shipbuilders nnd
Helpers of America. Negroes
were refuses! admisssion to this
union, but were told they would
be given an auxiliary charter for
a unit of their own. They never
got it.
Where lNegroes, before the
rivet driver baa ben forced to ac
cept work as a common laborer.
J. J. Bradley, a skilled hoiking
engineer with 20 years of expert
knee, is now picking up paper in
the yards. John Walk, ope-afor
of an air compressor for more
than 25 years, had a white ho'p
e • forced upon him by the union
As soon as they thought the white
(K- white man had learne ’ the
job, Walla was discharged. With
in a few days, the white man
had wrecked the machine fcom
pletely. Walls is now worklod ns
a greaser. There were on Aug. 1,
19S9, 190 paid up Negro members
of Local 1207 walking the streets
without work, but Sanders, busi
ness agent of the union continues
to certify whi'.e men to jobs—
non-members of the union, whom
he allows to work on fc permit.
