The PM account went on to des cribe Mr. Hawkin's and his person al views on his pioneer venture “Well, the Union Airlines, you see it is a subsidiary of the Union Busi ness Society of Amtrica,” Mr. Haw king told PM. “That's a corporat ion organized to promote big busin ess among colored people, to organ ize the numerical strength of the A merican colored man to participate in big business. I am president and chairman of the board- There are about 13 or 14 million colored people in the L nited States.” Hawkins con tinued in his statement to PM., "you understand, and we don’t have busi ness in proportion to the number of People. We don’t have factories and stores, or those things to get for ourselves that type of business. "Now what we want to do is, if you could get the colored American to organize himself so he could op erate factories and things like that so he could manufacture clothes and hats and suits and dresses and sho es. they wouldn't be always begging for jobs from other people but they would make jobs for themselves. "The airlines.” he went on, "is just part of the over-all program of the Union Business Society of Am erica- We have other subjects on oaper, but we have gone farther with the Airlines than anything.” He told then how his company is trying *o line up the manufacturing busi ness, including such ventures as the Sai-Mai Frocks for ladies’ clothes and a man’s suit called the Hawk’s I Special, and Silver Service Cafes, lime and Tide Wait on ,Vn Man" HOW IS T11E TIME TO GE'I TOUR SHOES REBUILT Quality Material and Guaranteed Quality Work" lahe shoe service 2407 Lake Street a. •* x£as*r e-c «** « ***#*» - -«1 ~T"ri—t~t ' 0»ti THE NEGRO WORKER A Magazine Owned.

Co. 3510 Olive St. St. Louis, (3) Mo. and a chain of Elite Flower Shops The flower shop is located next door to the Union Airlines office In October 1943 Hawkins filed an application to the Civil Aeronautics Board for a certificate of public convenience and necessity for Union Airlines to operate three routes- He is president and general manager. The routes he seeks are : Washington. Baltimore, Philadel phia, New York, Buffalo. Cleveland Giicago, In<|iajiapo?i£. Cincinnati. Memphis, and New Orleans. Chicago-St. Paul- Minneapolis, Fargo. Butte. Seattle, Tacoma, Port land San Francisco and Los Angel es. Washington Louisville, St- Louis, Kansas City, Omaha. Denver. Salt Lake City, and Los Angeles. “Union Airlines is the only color ed airlines in the world filed with the Civil Aeronautics Board. We know there are lots of white air lines operating now. Well, if we show we can do it too. that we can run it efficiently and economically, the CAB would naturally give us some routes- They might not give us exactly the same routes we’re ask ing for but I think they'll give us some routes out of fairness “I don't think the other airlines will be so much interested in giving jobs to the colored boys now over" seas, so colored people should oper ate airlines for themselves. What we could do is open up the avenues for those boys so they use the skill they learned overseas in civilian life. Haw-kins said that he wouldn't draw any color line in hiring pilots. He will hire colored and white, if they want the jobs, and added that he would naturally have to hire a white man to handle the airline be cause he is the only one who has had experience in airlines Hawkins also revealed that his venture has no financial status. “We are just a promotion company now" he explained His five-passenger WACO plane, which is the flagship, was christen ed by Dr- Mary McLeod Bethune on November 12th One of the most interesting things about the whole incident is the next step taken bv PM's reporter who in | terviewed several prominent Negro es around Washington as to w-hat they thought about Hawkin’s ven ture- Leading off was Charles H. Houston, famous lawyer and coun sel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who probably expresses the vieW I point of that organization in state ments of this kind. Houston broad ly bet Hawkins couldn’t do it in tell ing the white folks why Negro ven tures couldn't succeed. He said, "\es. I know;who the man is- Per sonally. 1 dofi’t see how this thing can go in competition with the estab lished airlines. There are very few Negroes at present w-ho are riding planes and he’d hardly get any white traffic. The airline traffic is the cream of the passenger business and how on earth is he going to get the cream, of the passenger business? ‘'About his flower shops: the Ne gro florists will tell you that their mam source of business is funeral orders. You don t have Negroes buying flowers for dances and other occasions- So the level of business is small. I don t know if Mr. Haw •c.ns could start a line of suits eith er. I doubt if he’d be able to wea>» the Negro living cloe to his salary, like a lot of the white Government workers, away from the department 'tore charge accounts. Unless he’s so good he can compete in anybody's market- No, I m afraid it's just one of those darn dreams.” There were two or three other Negroes around Washington who spoke about it also and attempted to belittle the venture before it gets started. This reveals the type of thinking among our leading Negro es which keeps us from getting places economically as well as rac ially. If left to them, we would al ways be in position of glorified beggars and alms-seekers, living on the largess of the white man, but, thank God, there are enough little Negroes with the vision, courage and the tenacity of purpose to make them out a liar by going ahead and doing what they say cannot be done Instead of encouraging ventures, people like Houston and the others who were interviewed have a phil osophy in tearing down everything JUNIOR WINTER COATS Fine all wool coets In boy box, Chesterfield and fitted styles.

WATER WORKS BASIN SAVING $18,000 A YEAR Savings in chemicals to aproximately $18,000 a year have been made at the Florence water works as a result of the new mixing basin put into service last June, according to six months’ operating reports releas ed by Frank L.. Frost, Board Chairman of the Metropolitan Utilities District. “The new mixing basin ’C’ cost $75,000. At the present rate of chem ical saving, it will pay for itself in less than four years,’’ Mr. Frost said. Just as important, however, the new basin has increased the capacity of the Florence plant for water treatment during the sumer season when turbidity or silt content of the river water is highest and water con sumption greatest, and has resutled in clearer, more potable w'ater for Omaha uers. "During the first six months of operation, ending December 31, 1944, the new* basin has saved 312 tons of alum and 267 tons of lime. At stock-pile cost this is aproximately $?,000 for a half-year. This saving has ben made despite the fact that the Water Department pumped more tran 600 million more gallons of water during this six months period i* 1944 than during the same period of 1943.” that would be constructive and prac tical if given the support it needs Some day Negroes will wake up and get rid of a lot of excess baggage in high places and go ahead by leaps and bounds as a result of the re pressions this natural inclination has been placed under by Ntgroes who purport to lead and speak for the best interest of the group. To show how basically sound Haw kins' plan is, we can quote from the New York Daily Mirror of January 10th, in which Charles Lo Piccolo general manager of the Packard Plane Service- announced at its Os sining headbuarters that it expects to start its air commuter service in the Metropolitan area about March 1st. It is almost certain that, at the end of the war, this country and- in fact the whole world will embark on mass production of planes of all typ es, revolutionizing almost overnight the ordinary transportation as we know it today. Heliocopters- small sea planes, cabin cruisers- Fairchild 24s, and other cabin planes on float will criss-cross the country with a greater network of transportation setups than ever before or ever before or dreamed of by Jules Verne In the New York era, for exam ple- Metropolitan Airways plans four main lines operating out of Manhat tan-to-Stanford through New Roch elle and Port Chester; to White Plains through Yonkers; to Newark through Jersey City- and to Hemp stead, LI., Shuttle service will be maintained between Manhattan and LaGuardia and Idlewild airports, if present plans go through. The time schedules and fares ten tatively worked out follows: Flying Time One Way Minutes Fare Stamford . 22 $1.50 New Rochelle .11 .75 | Port Chester .17 1.12 White Plains . lfi 1.05 Yonkers .10 .65 Newark . 8 .50 Jersey City .3 -18 Flempstead . 14 .90 LaGuardia . 5 .30 Idlewild . 8* .55 Whether Hawkins gets one plant off the ground is not the question here- The question is the man has a vision, the courage, and the desire to do something for his people- Ir. connection with this, he is willing to pioneer and endure the laughs, gibs, insults and derisions of the highly educated Negroes while doing so. The fact remains that with the five passenger plane Hawkins can make money flying people back and forth between Washington and Philadel phia- or Washington and Richmond Virginia, which shows that the ven ture is not entirely a pipe-dream. Had Charley Houston and the others seen the thing in its proper perspective, they would volunteer to jump in and help the man set up the business on a sound basis and even help him raise the funds necessary to establih a first class airline for we certainly need more for our rac ial diet than the constant holler that is raised about eating in a white man’s restaurant or sleeping in his hotels. Army to Call 11,200 from Nebraska Selectees.... . < CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) were 145,000 male agricultural work res of all-ages in Nebraska- Nebr aska selective service believes th^t the induction of 5-000 of these work ers, ages 18 through 25—less than 4 percent of the total— wall net leave large sections of land uncultivated n°.r seriously hamper food production in the state- In addition, while the 5.000 are being taken from the farm;: for induction, an estimated minimum of 3,GOO discharged service men will be returning to the state. Some of the 3600 veterans will revert to farm work, thus offsetting a number of the men being inducted from agricul -ture MEN IN INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS—As of January 1, 1945 there were only 684 unexamined Ne braska men. ages 18 through 25, de ferred in Class II-A and Class I IB for all work other than agriculture. More than half of the 684 are in the Merchant Marine service and can not be considered for induction now The remaining 300 are special cases —sciestists, expert technicians and advanqedj /medical stqdeints—whose current contribution, or immediately pending contribution to the war ef fort is so great that induction at this time cannot be accomplished prudent ly Since industry and business have no available, physically qualified reg istrants, ages 18 through 25. select ive iervice must look to the next age group—men 26 to 29—for inductees. On January 1, there were 4,845 such Nebraska registrants, and selective service is contemplating the induct ion of 2.000 of them. MEN AGES 30 THRU 37--Since the acute need of the armed forces is foo young men, capable pf the highest degree of efficiency under battle conditions, Nebraska selective service is counting upon men, ages 30 through 37, to make tseir contri bution to the war effort by working in civilian activities essential to the i war effort rather than by serving in the armed forces- Therefore. Ne braska selective service wants its men, ages 30 through 37, who are al ready working in essential activit ies, such as war plants and agricul ture, to stay on the jobs they now have so long as there is a recognized need for their services- Nebraska selective service wants its men. ages 30 through 37, who are not now en gaged in essential work to shift to essential work as rapidly as possible by obtaining proper clearance thru the United States Employment Ser vice and their selective service local boards, or, in the case of agri culture, by obtaining proper clear ance through the county agricultural agent, or his representative, in the area where the farm is located, and their selective service local boards. For men, ages 30 through 37, who are in essential work and refuse to stay there, and for those who are not in essential work and refuse to get there, selective service has noth ing but induction to offer- It is es timated that during the first six months of this year, there will be 2.000 registrants, ages -30 through 37 who will be inducted for general military service. This does not in clude “job jumpers’’ who do not qualify for general military service but who will be inducted for service other than of the general military service category.
