The Day
is Comin
by ERIC HASS
If I were a Negro worker, I
would sit down right now and write
three letters—one each to my two
Senators, and the Representative
from my Congressional district
This is what I would say:
The Hon..
Washington, DC.,
Dear Sir:
If the Congress of the United
States passes so-called “national
service” legislation, it will be guil
ty of an act of usurpation without
parallel in American history. Just
eight years ago, this nation adopt
ed an amendment to its Constitu
tion. the immediate purpose of
which was to outlaw black slavery.
But the 13 th Amendment was
more than that. It was a guaran
tee of personal freedom to all men
of all races- Only a few months
ago the United States Supreme
Court declared in the Florida peo
nage case that the unquestionable
aim of this amendment “was not
merely to end slavery but to main
tain a system of completely free
and voluntary labor.”
“National service” is the oppos
ite of “free and voluntary labor."
It is forced labor. It is the la
bor system pioneered by Nazi
Germany- It is involuntary serv
itude, and involuntary servitude is
expressly and explicitly forbidden
by the 13th Amendment.
‘National service” would em
power the State to force me to
take any job it commanded me to
take. Should I refuse, it could
send me to jail. Should I run a
way- it could drag . me back and
punish me as if I were a runaway
slave. It would deprive me of mv
right to strike, no matter how in
tolerable the conditions- As a
worker. I declare my uncomprom
ising opposition to this Nazi-like
and unconstitutional measure.
As a worker of the Negro race
my duty to oppose and to resist
is ever more self-evident. A “na
tional service” act, no matter how
it is adorned with “safeguards”
supposedly designed to protect col
ored workers, would certainly be
■used to freeze the present patterns
of racial discrimination. For one

When Johnny Climbs Out
of His Last Foxhole •••,
Some day Johnny, who is using his telephone
training in the front lines, will climb out of
his last foxhole and return to his job with the
telephone company. When he does he will find
a hearty welcome. His skill is needed and he
is an honored personal friend.
About 60 telephone men and women have
already returned and are at work with the
Company. We are glad to have them. In meet
ing postwar telephone needs, we’ll need their
help and that of all the 1,300 others from this
Company who are in military service.
Meeting peacetime telephone service needs
will require not only the help of returning
veterans but much material and millions of
dollars of new capital which will have to come
from people who are willing to invest their
savings in the telephone business.

thing, whoever would administer
labor conscription—and it would
probably be the draft board—
would try to make the pill a little
less bitter to the majority of white
workers by “dircting” Negroes to
the arduous, menial, low-pay jobs
The power to conscript is the pow
er to discriminate- Bitter exper
ience has taught me that there is
no “safeguard" against the preju
dices of administrators.
“National Service” could not
help but aggravate racial friction
and endanger the workers' aim of
class unity. I am not reassured
by the quibble that forced labor is
temporary. Slavery, even for a
week, a month, a year, or for “the
duration” is still slavery, and still
in flagrant violation of the Consti
tution- Moreover once the princ
iple is yielded and involuntary ser
vitude is submitted to, it will be
relatively simple for Congress to
extend the act and adapt wartime
labor controls to postwar uses.
We shall have a manpower prob
lem then, too—a manpower prob
lem in reverse!
Sir. you have taken an oath to j
uphold and defend the Constitution
May I have your assurance that,
in accord with this oath, you cast
your vote against every measure
designed to reduce the American
workers to industrial serfs?
Very truly yours.
This is what I would write to my
Congressmen were I a Negro work
er. It is what I would urge my fel
low workers to write- I would get
a hundred signers to my letter- I
would throw the full weight of my
influence into the fight to stop the
labor draft!

PVT. JOHN AUTROY,
OMAHA BOY, HELPS TEAM
WIN FOOTBALL CLASSIC
IN ITALY.
Penninsular Base Headquarters.
Italy—Pvt. John Autroy of 2121 N.
2.7lh Street, Omaha, former Techn
ical High half-back, helped his team
win the PBS- Garlic Bowl touch
football classic held here recently.
Record breaking total gains of
142 yards by T-4 Victor Moore of
Longansport, Indiana, was the high
spot in the victory of Peninsular
Base Section’s 522nd Port Battalion
over the 12th Depot Supply Squad
ron of the Air Corps. The final
score was 12 to 6- Every member oi
the winning eleevn has seen action
at Anzio Beachhead, handling sup
plies under heavy enemy fire
Reminscent of the traditional Am
erican college and Bowl games, the
117th Army Ground Force Band en
livened the proceedings during halv
es, and the loud, persistent wise
cracks made by the many GI. spec
tators were typical of those heard at
any football game in the States.
Touch football, as played by these |
two championship teams, is a wide
open passing game with thrills and
action every minute. It is the most
popular winter sport among GI’s in
Italy, particularly for player partic
ipation- The only requirement need
ed is a football, which the PBS
Special Service Section supplies by
the hundreds to the many units hert
Said Pvt. Autroy, “There is no
doubt that touch football is going to
be another popular American sport
when the boys return- Whenever
there’s a football around and time
off, you’ll find the GI’s choosing
sides and getting ready to play touch
football- It affords a swell work
out”.
Colonel Francis H. Oxxt of New*.
port, RI.. Commanding Officer of I
the Peninsular Base Section, praised
the players of both teams and told
them that wherever Americans arc
assembled “we will have our sports
whether right in our own country or
ten miles from the front”.
The Port Battalion, in which Pvt
Autroy is serving, is one of many
units of the Peninsular Base Section
important Service and Supply organ
ization for Fifth Army and for the
ground forces of the U-S. Air Corps
and Navy in Italy
The Special Service Section,
which arranged the tournament, is
commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
William F- Bailey of High Point,

LOOK OUT FOR LEEMAN
GARTH OLER, FORMERLY
WITH QUALITY GARMENT
COMPANY, HOUSTON, TEX
This man's weakness appears to
center on the swindling of nurses.
Oler makes personal calls on nurses
employed or in training in hospitals
takes orders for .uniforms, collects
cash deposits and silently steals a
way. Hospitals, doctors, and den
tists may also be victimized
Oler's path of operations includ
es, Virginia, South Carolina. Ore
gon Minnesota. California. Wiscon
sin, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and
doubtless other sections of the coun
try.
Evidently, Mr. Oler works fast
and travels even faster. He is a
bad actor; and he is also credited
with handing out a number of ‘hot’
checks in addition to at least one
forged check
Oler was president of the Quality |
Garment Company. Houston, Texas, I
until May 20, 1944. He still poses I
i as the head of the concern, using
! his cards and order blanks which he
doubtless retained when he left the
