Senate, is nffiv in danger of being killed in the con ference committee between mem bers of the House and the Senate, the NAACP stated this week. The NAACP last week urged all senators to insist on passage of the amendment, commended the 33 sen ators who had voted for the meas ure, and telegraphed those who had voted against it: “If white and Ne gro soldiers and sailors are willing to risk their lives in the service of their country, should the payment of a poll tax prevent them from exercising their constitutional right to vote?” The amendment, which is attach ed to a bill to allow soldiers and sailors to cast absentee ballots in primary and general elections, pro vides that service men would not be required to pay a poll tax to vote iln primaries. The measure goes to the conference committee of the House and the Senate for discuss ion and revision before it is refer red to the House for a vote. The NAACP said it was disturb ed Over reports that Vice President Henry A. Wallace appointed to the committee three Democratic enem ies of the anti-poll tax amendment along with two of its Republican friends. “Sabotage of the amendment in conference,” the NAACP stated, ‘‘would be a disheartening blow to 13 million Negroes and thousands of white soldiers and sailors from so-called poll tax states. “We ask you to imagine their thoughts and feelings when they learn that even as they face death they were debarred by parliament ary trickery from voting on who shall administer the affairs of the country which they are dying to de fend.” NAACP BRANCHES TO URGE SWIFT PASSAGE OF ANTI POLE TAX AMENDMENT ON SOLDIERS VOTE BILL IN HOUSE BULLETIN!—Washingtos, D.

A LABOR DAY STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT (continued from page 1) working people of the United Stat es for the energy and devotion wilh which they have met the demands of the present crisis. They know what it is to work until muscles ache. They know what it means to be weary when the whistle blows at the end of the shift. They know, too, that democracy has made labor’s advances possible. They know' just what stake they have in America, just what they are fighting for. There are certain to be stormy days ahead. Laborers, farmers, industrialist*, all of us. are pledged to the war effort. We are certain to be asked for sacrif ices. These may be sacrifices of wage increases, crop price increas es, profit increases, bodily comforts All this is little enough for free men to sacrifice in a world where free dom is imperiled. I - I Local Number 732 SPEAKS TO HJ) TEL WORKERS The essence of unionism is th« . desire to help, never to hinder the I worker. It is the grouping toget her of men and women for higher motives, to lift themselves and their associates to a higher, a happier existence, to see to it they are not denied those natural rights which jusice concedes all workers regard less of race, color or creed. The Negro’s greatest need today is to get organized in every indus try where human beings are em ployed.| There is no time like the present. This task is so enormous and difficult of achievement that efforts being put forth now should immediately double. Unionism demands of its follow ers, not only loyalty, but that each member shall, at all times work for i its best interests. Let every man or woman with the knowledge and intelligence to advocate the union cause become a voluntary organiz er. Knowledge of unionism is best obtained in union halls, for, it is there you meet and learn to know and appreciate your fellow -union ists, to share their enthusiasm, to map, to Plan, to know whether those placed in positions of trust are serving you well. Your union knowledge helps to protect and strengthen you, unionism sends you forward with greater assurance, a higher hope. Even laws which are favorable to labor have litle or no value unless the wrorkers are well enough or ganized to se to it that such laws are reinforced. There is no direc tion in which a worker can turn but ^ what the need of being a member | of a union becomes apparent.Many Negro workers do not realize or see I this yet, but this day is fast ap proaching. There is no time to waste, await ing for things to turn up or happen, nothing will turn up or happen that will better conditions for labor. The Negro workers should get busy to bring it into being. Get underway immediately, start talking to your fellow workers and your friends, if you should run into some difficult case, turn him over to somebody ■who can hold their own with just such cases. Every Negro hotel worker should become a member of the hotel and restaurant union for their own in terest and advance protection. Local No. 732 can and will give to the hotel workers, better wages working conditions and job security. The workers desire to see these true facts become a reality will be shown in their attendance of the hotel and restaurant workers reg ular meetings, every Sunday at 3 p. m. at 2426 Lake Street. —W. A. DAVIS. TO LAUNCH 6 LIBERTY SHIPS ON LABOR DAY Thousands of Negro shipyard workers, members Of both AF of L. and CIO. unions, will celebrate La bor Day on Monday by participat-' ing in the launching of six liberty ships, named after heroes of organ ized labor. At the same time, additional thous ands of Negro workers will report to their regular jobs that day in sixty shipyards which are rushing j to turn out 2,300 new ships by the end of 1943. More than 1,600 skilled, semi-skill ed and unskilled Negro workers will participate in the Labor Day cere mony at the Bethlehem-Pairfield Shipyards in Baltimore Md., where the Liberty ships “John Mitchell,” and “John W. Brown” will be laua-' ched. The majority of theee Negro wor kers have received jobs at the Beth- j lehem Fairfield yard within the last few months as a result of regotiat ions between the Negro Manpower Service, WMC, and the manage- ' ment of the company. Less than 109 NegTOes were employed in the yard at the opening of the negotiat ions. Expansion Of Negro employ ment was also supported there by the Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of America. John Green, President of that CIO. union will speak at the launching of the two ships. On the West Coast, hundreds of Negro boilermakers, chippers, caulk ers and other skilled and semi-skill ed workers will participate in the | launching of four additional Liberty j Ships: the “Samuel Gompers” at the California Shipbiulding Company in Wilmington, Calif., the “Andrew Furuseth’ ’and the “Peter J. Mc Guire” at the Richmond Shipyards in Richmond, Calif., and the “James Duncan” at the Oregon Shipbuild ing Corporation. John Frey, presi dent of the Metal Trades Depart ment of the American Federation of Labor will speak at the launching ceremonies of the "Samuel Gomp ers.’’ One of th* founders of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, Samuel Gompers was America’s first great labor leader, devoting a lifetime to the cause. Under his leadership in 1906, the AF of L inaugurated a non partisan campaign to secure neces sary legislation assuring the rights of labor and promoting the interest - and welfare of the working people Up until the time of his death in 1924, Mr. Gompers had been head of the AF of L for over 35 years. Andrew Fursueth came to the United States from Norway in 1SS0 I and for many years was a sailor. Recognized as an authority on the merchant marine, Mr. Fursueth fought the cause of the merchant seamen through the halls of Con gress and in public offices for many years. He was President for many years of the International Seamen's Union and was secretary of the Sailor’s Union of the Pacific. Originator of Labor Day, Peter J. McGuire was also founder of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. He join ed a labor union in 1872 and from that time forward took an active interest in the trade union move ment. He was secretary of the A merican Federation of Labor when.' it was founded, and was elected sec ond vice president in 1889. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Community Related School EDITOR OF GEORGIA’S LEADING DAILY TAKES 1ALMADGE TO TASK (Continued from page 1) knows such charges are unworthy. “He said a man who would make such charges was a hypocrite hid ing under a shadow for the purpose of stealing. “Well, I don’t use such strong language. “It's pleasant to have the gover nor say it. THE REAL TRAGEDY “The governor, as I often have said here, knows there is no such issue. “As I have said here before, he created the issue, never expecting it to be more than a whispering cam paign. He was blocked by the char acter of the men on the board of le gents. “He had intended it for possible use against Sen. Richard B. Russell. For some months his purpose was to run for the senate. “The popularity of lend-lease and then the coming of the war with the attack on Pearl Harbor, made inad visable any campaign against a pop ular senator with a splendid record of cooperation in the war effort. “So, he took the issue into the governor’s race. “It is a real tragedy. “The governor said a year and a half ago that only a hypocrite would try to use a racial issue in Georgia. “He said at the same time any man who brought forth such an is sue was committing a sin of the deepest dye. “He said only these few months ago that any man using the t-a , Issue was hiding beneath a shadow for the purpose of stealing. “Now he cornea forth with such an issue and his own words of 'sin' and ‘hypocrite’ condemn it. 'The danger is, the greater trag edy is, that some of his men , in their zeal to do a job, have been urged on to try to create ‘incidents’ of violence involving some Negro. That makes it the worse affront. “Georgia doesn’t need all this prejudice. The south knows how to handle this question and wil handle it without violence if the governor and his more fanatical supporters will quit stirring it up. THE REAL ISSUE “There are the real issues of this campaign. They are plain to all ‘‘They try to cover it up by try ing to attch former Gov. E. D. Riv ers to it. They attack Atlanta news papers and newspapermen, never mentioning that 74 weekly news papers are supporting Ellis Arnall as against 10 for the governor. "Newspapers and newspapermen are not the isue. The newspapers print into news and men and events make the news. Newspapers don’t make or unmake elections. They merely present the news and issues for the people to read. They can, editorially, support a candidate and advocate his cause. All people, and newspapers, should have opinions, pro and con. “The issues are important. “Men are dying in the Solomon Islands in our present most import ant battle. ‘‘I do not think they are dying to maintain the sort of issues which Gov. Talmadge advances. It is not even good patriotism, with the ex ample of India before us, to try and stir up racial hatreds and violence just for votes. “Think it over calmly_and ask yourself if men are dying in the Solomon Islands, and in Alaska, to perpetuate the sort of government and issue which the government of fers? hat about your own boy and Ask yourself these Questions when you buy a laxative Ques.
