; NEGRO, WORKING
WITH LABOR,‘Ghost’
OF DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.
(BY ERNEST E. JOHNSON)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (AN"P)
The Negro was the "ghost” of the
Democratic party convention, commen
ted an observer last week just back
from Chicago. In different phrasing
this is a view which found much con
currences among others who make it
their business to keep abreast of pol
itical developments.
Perhaps not since Civil war days
has the so-called “Negro issue" been
so persistent a factor fn a political
convention as it was when three in
congruous elements—labor, remnants
of the confederacy ,and the city ma
chines locked horns in the midwest
trying as they did to come up with a
ticket and a platform that would re
tain for the party control of the na
tional administration for another four
years.
How successful they were will be
come known only when the votes are
in next November.
If there is any one thing which
stands out in connection with that
demonstration apart from the ditch
ing that was given to Vice President
Henry A. Wallace it is probably the
very effective way in which labor’s
managers utilized the attitude of Ne
gro people, in general, am! the or-,
ganized strength of Negro workers,
in particular, to further the mutual
cause.
Negro leaders themselves had pav
ed the way for this unprecedented
show of strength on the part of la
bor when, long before either of the
two major conventions, when they
met and agreed upon a set of demands
which would be made upon both part
ies. These dealt with a permanent
Fair Employment Practice commit
tee ; elimination of the poll tax as a
requirement for voting; elimination
of jim crow in the armed forces and
amelioration of the ill-treatment ac
corded Negro soldiers; and anti-lyn
ching legislation.
These leaders appeared before the
resolutions committee of the Repub
lican convention in June. Ultimate
ly, the party acceded to each of their
demands, practically without equivo
cation. Could the Democratic parti
do less? The CIO through its Polit
ical Action committee had shown the *
greater aggressiveness between the
two branches of labor. There are
approximately a half million Negroes
organized in CIO unions, and Presi
dent Philip Murray has frequently
spoken out in support of Negro de
mands, both i nand out of congress.
In short, the CIO through the years,
had carefully nutured its Negro mem
bership and fought within its own
ranks signs of discrimination. It had
achieved an eminent position as a
spokesman.
Henry A. Wallace too had endear
ed himself to Negro people. His fa
mous speech in which he unveiled the
“common man" was felt by every
Negro as his personal plea for a
“break.” In 1943 Mr. Wallace show
ed the courage to stand before 40,000
people in Detroit shortly after the
riots and publicly abhored such un
democratic conduct. He went furth
er, talked of elimination of poll tax
es, and protection from personal
harm. To Negroes as to all Amer
icans, Mr. Wallace became the sym
bol of liberalism.
On the other hand, a malcontented
south had go;‘en up on its hi id legs
and had taken the rnitiative in <k

tnanding that the party refrain from
meeting the denu .c.- of northern -N'c- ,
groes. They were prepared then —
and have not yet completely relented
to become injurious to the party’s
fortunes this fall on this matter Fnr
thermore, they were and are violently
oppose to the vice president.
Undoubtedly, the CIO had other
axes to grind than that of satisfying
Negroes. But certainly while it had
votes plus money, it was left to N
gro people to provide them with tir*
one telling issue on which PAC cou:d
stand solidly and make their voice he*
heard.
The south had determined on two
things—a "white supremacy ’ plank,
meaning anything which would negate
Negro demands; and a vice president
cf their own choosing. War Mobil- j
ization Director Jimmy Byrnes, sonic )
times called the “assistant president"
was their man.
It was mainly the objection cf Ne
groes to Brynes that enabled CIO
leaders to eliminate him quickly, ev
en though the President too wanted
him. Bob Hannegan, the Democrat
ic National Chairman, and the city
bosses who would have put Brynes 1
over, insisted that the South Carolina
ian was for Negroes. The thing that
defeated that argument was an anti
Negro statement made by Bynts
earlier jn his career whiic in the sen -
ate, and which ie had f a'gotten T
had been published in Crisis magaz
ine in February, 1041, about the time
Brynes had been made a ii-stioe of
the U. S. Supreme court. Here’s
how it worked:
Henry Lee Moon, Negro publicity
man for the Political Action comnm
tee, put a copy of this statement n
the hands of Sidnev Hillman, PAC
chairman. Meanwhile, George L.
Weaver, director of the CIO Comm
ittee on Discrimination, saw that PHI
Murray got acopy by way of James
Carey, the able CIO secret,try-tteas
urei.
Naturally, when Hillman and Mur
ray sat down to talk with Ifanntgan,
Boss Ed Kelly of Chicago, Frank
Hague of Jersey City, and Ed Flynn
of New York, the two labor leaders
were well armed to put the heat fin
ally on the aspirations of Byrnes.

gait—were defea’ed. Hannegr.r i>

DEATH TAKES WILL
MARION COOK,
Grand Old Man of
Musical Comedy Era
New York, August 1,(PPNS) —
The death os Will Marion Cook herei
in Harlem Hospital a sew days ago,
marked the passing ol one of the
pioneers in Negro show life. A dis
tinguished comloser, his compositions
ranked tops on the hit parade in the
earlier part of the century. He en
joyed his greatest success during the
days when the American stage in
cluded in its galaxy of brilliant pcr
forsers such luminaries as Bert Wil
liams, George Walker, Jesse Shipp,
Bob Cole, Ernest Hogan and a num
ber of others.
At the time of his death, Cook was
75, and had been in Harlem hospital
several weeks following his return
from Haiti where he had been living
with his son, Mercer. He was born
in Washington, DC., in 1869, the son
of the Howard University Law pro
fessor, Dr. John H. Cook. He stud
ied at the Oberlin Conservatory of
Music and later he went to Berlin
and continued his music studies with
Dr. Joseph Joachim who was so cap
tivated by his technique on the violin
that he presented him with his own
instrument. On returning to Amer
ica, Cook studied composition under
Anton Dvorak, the composer of ‘The
New World Symphony’ who was
then head of the National Conserv
atory of Music in New York.
