The Day
is Comin
BY ERIC HASS
(for Cabin’s News Service)
There is scracely a union in the
country, CIO. or AFL. that isn't
getting ready to batten down the
hatches and reef its sails to weather
the post war storm. Among other
things, they are writing off their
war-swelled membership- BUSIN
ESS WEEK, a magazine that circul
ates among employers, reported in its
December 23 issue that postwar wage
palavers are already going on be
tween labor leaders and employers,
and that the former are bidding for
the favor of the latter with agree
ments to accept wage cuts up to lt>
percent. In exchange, they ask for
steady employment for a solid core
of dues-payers.
Tossing the newly organized, am
ong whom Negro workers are num
erous, overboard won’t be too diffb
° cult- In most CIO. unions, even
those that loudly disclaim racial bias
seniority rules will do the trick
automatically bumping the newcom
ers, white as well as black. Simil
arly in some AFL- unions. In oth
ers, Negroes can't be tossed over
board for the simple reason that they
haven’t been admitted to membership
These are the unions that Jim-Crow
Negro workers into “auxiliaries" or
make them work on 30-day work per
mits. When the lay-offs come, it
is expected that “auxiliary” members
will get the axe first, after which the
“auxiliary” itself will simply be de
clared disbanded leaving the union
with a restricted, lily-white member
ship and with a complete monopoly
over all the jobs.
On January 2, the California State
Supreme Court unanimously upheld
Negro employees of the Marineship
’ Corporation’s wards at Sausalito.
who balked at being Jim Crowed In
to the AFL. Boilermaker’s Union’s
“auxiliary.” Either Negroes must
be admitted to full membership, the
court declared, or the union must
give up the closed shop, The union's
“asserted right to choose its members
does not merely relate to social re
lations; it affects the fundamentat
right to work for a living
But the lily-white labor fakers
aren’t licked yet, even in California.
Their strategy is to keep the case
snarled up in litigation until the cut
backs come and the dissolution of the
Jim Crow “auxiliary” is an accom
plished fact.
There is an authentic instinct a
mong American workers. Negro and
white, for solidarity- Every thought
ful worker knows that employers
are poised to play the old divide and
rule agme to the limit. Neverthe
less- the fact remains that workers

are allowing themselves to be divid
ed- And the reason is that they lack
a unifying principle- The majority
are still thinking in terms of the
present social system and of narrow
“job security”—as though that were
possible under the wages system—
for themselves.
Revolutionary forces have sent a
tremor through the whole world, but
they have not yet felt it. They hare
not yet grasped the palpitating fact
that to fulfill their instinct for class
unity, they must organize for class
aims- And what are the aims of the
working class?
They are nothing short of making
the socially operated factories, mills
mines, railroads and all the other in
struments of wealth-production, the
collective property of society- They
are to bring to full flower our hopes
for real equality and industrial de
mocracy. They are to build a work
ers’ republic wherein the lofty prin
ciple of cooperation will replace the
evil and degrading principle of com
petition- Were Negro workers ti.
grasp, first, this historic mission ot
our generation, and turn their appre
hension and bitterness into intelli
gent action for its yearly accomp
lishment, they would earn the undy
ing gratitude of all mankind.

NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY
PRIORITY LIST
•... ■
...an<$ make sure to get your electric
range and water heater soon as possible
The Nebraska Power Company Priority Plan gives everyone a fair, “first
come—first served” chance to get a new electric range and water heater
as soon as possible. Your name, on the Priority List, will assure you of the
quickest delivery possible. Don’t put it off—get the facts now! Here’s how
the new Priority Plan works:
IWhen you order an electric range or water heater, or both, from a Nebraska
♦ Power Company representative, your name will be placed on the priority list
for those appliances. You will receive a membership card in the RANGE AND
WATER HEATER PRIORITY CLUB, showing your exact priority number
for the appliances you want.
2 You designate your own brand preference. When the new electric ranges and
• water heaters come in, the distributors will issue them to the dealers and you
may name the dealer you prefer to deliver your appliances. Both the distributor
and the dealer will recognize the priority of the customers who have been
listed in the Electric Range and Water Heater Priority Club.
3 When you sign up, you arrange to make a down payment and regular monthly
♦ payments on the appliances for which you sign. Nebraska Power credits your
account as you make your payments but immediately re-invests your dollars in
War Bonds to help speed Victory, and the day when your range and water
heater can be delivered.
4 Your dollars will earn 4% interest for you. The Nebraska Power Company will
♦ pay this interest at the time your electric range or water heater is delivered on
all the money you invest. If you want your money returned to you at any time
before delivery of the merchandise, your money — without interest — will be
returned to you immediately.

“Oh, pul) me down my window
shades" — to paraphrase an old
ballad — might well be the theme
song in thousands of American
homes this winter For that’s what
many, many homemakers will be
doing to save on winter’s fuel. Dur
ing the past holiday season I had
occasion to visit several homes and
the conversation invariably got
around to the topic of fuel conser
vation. There were several “heat
ed” discussions on the real value of
cloth window shades as insulators.
I found that cloth window shades
can be a fuel saver of no small
magnitude. It all stems from the
fact that approximately thirty per
cent of all heat lost from the aver
age dwelling escapes through the
window panes. And investigations
conducted by a reliable, impartial
testing laboratory proved that by
proper drawing of your shades,
more than one-third of this pre
cious heat can be saved.
I Actually as much as ten percent
can be shaved off the average fam
ily’s fuel bill by simply remember
ing to pull the window shades
whenever light from the windows
is not needed. This means drawing
the shades right down to the sills
in all unused rooms, throughout the [
house at night and when the fam- '
ily is away from home, and drawl
ing the shades half way in rooms j
that are in daily use
And when selecting window j
shades be sure they measure up to
these standards: they should be
made of closely-woven fabric that
will hang straight and resist crack
ing, warping, and tearing. It is also
essential that the shade fit the win
dow properly and that it tun up
and down smoothly on the roller.
The roller, in turn, should be 15/16
inch to 1!4 inches in diameter to
insure efficient operation. If your
shades have these qualities they
will not only add to the attractive
ness of the room, but will do a good
job of insulating your windows.

FOLKES DIES IX GAS
CHAMBER; FAMOUS “LOWER
13” CASE CLOSED
Salem, Oregon. (PPNS) Aboard
a speeding Southern Pacific tram,
January 23. 1943, a woman met death
in the lower berth of a sleeper under
the slashing knife of an sunseen kih
ler: this week a man died in Oregon*
gas chamber, and the case referred
*to as the “Lower 13” murder, was
officially closed- The woman was
Mrs. Martha V. James- wife of a
navy Lt. who later met his death in
a plane crash. The man executed
was Robert E. Lee Folks, dining car
cook, convicted on circumstantial ev
idence by a white jury that held the
proverbial two strikes on him when
he came to trial
To the end, Folks maintained his
innocence, not hysterically, but calm
ly and resigned to the fate that doom
ed him to an early end. Folks walk
-ed unaided, into the chamber at
9:04 a m., gas pellets were dropped
at 9:07 and doctors pronounced him
dead at 9:13. A throng of spectatoi*
witnessed Folk's last hour.
Folks was accused by the state or
murdering his victim after she re
sisted his effort to rape her; how
ever, a confession to this affect was
