RAY, PECK, Manager. “EQUALLY REGULATED, EQUALLY TAXED” There is one statement in Judge Goldsorough’s decision on the government’s case against. John L Lewis and the United Mine Workers which goes to the heart of the controversy. He said that a munion must be held responsible for the acts of its members. He added that it was "ridiculous to argue that hundreds of thousands of men would walk out of their own volition simultaneously. It is clear that the law is not yet capable o dealing effect ively and swiftly with iron-clad labor monoplies. It is clear that some labor leaders are convinced that they are bigger than the government of the United, tates. And there is every reason to believe trust statuets. There can be no excuse whatever for confining to exempt them from the same laws that protect the people against abuses of power by industry. 1 his \ iew has been taken by Senator Ball, among others who recently wrote that the "traditional Ametican approach is to break up the concentrations of power by approaches similar to the Sher man antitrust acts. In other words, to make industry-wide ag reements and strikes or lockouts subject to the anti-trust law s That was done in the House version of the Taft-Hartley Act, but it lost out by a single vote in the. Senate. In any event, the power of a man, a group of men, or an arganizationJ to defy this nation cannot be countenanced. READ' - THINK - ACT The Freedom Train was in Omaha: today. We walked its aisles and read the documents that capture on paper the spirit of our nation. We Americans, we human beings, black and white, red and yellow, Catholic and Protestant and Jew. man and woman and child, student and teacher, laborer ana professional man, Nebraskans, Iowans, we Americans. . gooa feeling it was to read these words; a good thing to see them a solid, certain, permanent sort of sensation. And like how manv other feelings so easily blown away, so readily shatterea bv a common, ordinary incident. The Freedom Train came to town and; we Americans were proud, untill . . . . One cold spring night this week four girls went into a small cafe to get some hot cholocate and a donut. A clean and pleasant place, with good, inexpensive food, with olite wait resses, a place that is frequented by many people at a transfer spot in downtown Omaha. We went in and sat down cheered - at the thought of the food to come. The manager came over to us at once and said: “We won’t serve you girls,” and walked awav. The cafe was not crowded, there was plenty of help, there were others eating there. They looked at us and they, knew why the manager spoke as he did. They looked em barrassed but they made no protst. It is much easier not to —and after all it wasn’t happening to them. We didn't come in with a chip on our shoulders and we didn’t go out with one either. One girl went out at once perilously close to tears. The other three of us talkedf quietly to the manager. He was “sorry to hurt our feelings be he wouldn’t serve us. It made no difference that we could have eaten and left in five minutes. It made no difference that we were quiet and well-behaved, respectably dressed that we had the money to pay for our order that we were his fellow citizens and fellow countrymen, in this case his fellow Chris tians. He didn’t care that one of us was a student at one ot the Catholic girls’ colleges in Omaha, that two of us were alumnae of Creighton University, that the other girl was housewife with tw^o small children whom she is trying to near in keeping with all the Freedom Train implies. No, none of this mattered at all. Because you see ne Qian really believe that “all men were created equal ; he didn t care'that according to the Nebraska state law—Sttatute 20-101 “all persons of this state shall be entitled to a full and equa eniovment of the accommodations, advantages” ettc. of inns, barbershops, and other places. Because you see two of us v.-^re Negroes—and it would be bad business to serve Negroes it w ould' hurt trade to erve a colored person. Oh he didn t think any of the people out there as customers right then would object, and he didn’t think he’d be over-run with colored trade and yes, it was a pity to do uch a thing in this day and age and citv and country. But he wouldn’t serve us. We left feeling as though we'd been kicked in the stomach. Two of us went home knowing that to us the insult was a passing thing. We could walk in the same place tomorrow and be served. We’d never have any difficulty in Omaha. Nebraska, in getting a hotel room, a job, a meal, an education, a church ’affiliation, a seat in a theatre, service in a store or beautv parlor, a home to live in in a certain neighborhood. ■ But our to friends? The situation doesnt change for them. Thev can go down and see the Freedom Train and they can come home and live in a city without freedom. They can read about “enlightened progressive city government and it doesn't apply to them. Human beings, college trained, citizens' of a citv, a state, a nation, fellow Americans no, it doesnt apply to them. They’re a different color and you see the Freedom Train just isn't meant for them Or is it? Are you going to go through that train and yet make it a mockery in your lives? Are you going to be as stupid and petty and prejudiced as that cafe proprietor . Or are your intentions good and fine but you don t know what to do about the whole situation? After all, it isn t up to me . sn’t it? You have a new city administration just come into office, a new Mayor. Will you write to him, petition him, in dividually and in civic groups, to set up a Mayor s Committee on Interracial Matters? Minneapolis has done great things, in their city through the Mayor’s Committee. It is at least a beginning, a means to an end, a positive help to make realit} correspond with ideals. , The Freedom Train came to our town. Did all it brought pass away when the train pulled out? Or are you going to help keep' that spirit of America, that spirit of Freedom alive? It'5UF,tOJOU!

I love him and know that he loves me. We have a pretty little girl 2 months old. Our apartment rent has increased in price and we can’t move as no one wants a baby in their home. Do you think we should buy a home of our own even though there may be a depres sion ? Ans.:—Invest in a home— the monthly notes would not exceed the rent you are now paying and will have to con tinue paying in the future for a place to live. A home is a wonderful financial invest ment. K.Y.—I married in 1945 but we did not stay together but 2 years. I gave tn^ wife nearly everything that she wanted but she stayed out nights, ran around with a drinking crowd. I do not drink. Last month I met a sanctified ladv and fell in love with her. I started treating her nice, giving her what she wanted and now she has somebody else. I want to ■know am I too free heartgd, or too quick to fall in love? Ans.:—Seemingly you have the idea that all the ladies want is presents and plenty of spending money. That’s not enough. They want a little love and romance along with these other nice things. You’re try ing to buy love—therefore, you can’t hold a friend. Change your technique—be more ro matic and spend less money. D.C.L.—I have been out of service for two years but I can’t seem to be satisfied. I am thinking seriously of join ing the army when I finish school in June. Give me some advice? Ans.:—Join the colors again —if you can’t find your place outside of the army. Many exGI s have returned to the service because they prefer it \ to the opportunities open to them as civilians. G.M.C.—My wife is in thei State Hospital for mental treatment. Her condition seems just about the same as it was when she was interned several months ago. It is so hard on me to know that she really knows where she is and doesn’t want to stay. Should she be left there or brought home? Ans.:—Leave her there. The doctors have given you some encouragment but if you bring her home before she is well, it will be deterimental to her progress. It’s a strain on you j both but it is definitely to her advantage to stay and receive treatment. B.T.—My husband ^id I have been apart 12 years. Five years after he left, I had not heard from him, so believing it was all over, I got my di vorce. He came to see me be fore Christmas last and in Feb ruary he returned and said he needs me. But he resents hav dearly. How can I bring about our re-marriage? To lose him again would be more than I could bear. Ans.:—Take him back on condition that he will re-marry you. For that is the only proof of his sincerity in wanting to make you a husband. If he ob jects—he doesn’t love you. And, you may as well face the music now before you get in volved. J.D.—Tell me how I can hold on to my money? Ans.:—The book “How To Keep Your Money and At tract Good Luck” tells you bet ter than I can. Send one dollar thrp this column for a copy of this wonderful book. DEATHS John Wesley Dallas Mr. John Wesley Dallas, 69 years, 119 North 37th Street, died Thursday at a local hos pital.

FACTS IN RHYME By Myrtle M. Goodlow “By their fruits ye shall know them” Said Christ the. Saviour of men. And Father Flanagan is living proof Of this great gospel truth. Working with heart and soul, He reacned his long sought goal. Father Flanagan’s work and love for humanity, Has proven him to be A true disciple of Christ. And all that a servant of His should be. Filled with the love and spirit of Christ, He labors for all alike. Faithfully following the Master’s plan, In loving and serving his fellowman. Without the helping hand, Of Father Flanagan, Hundreds of boys of every race, color and creed — Would never have known J The comforts and joys oFhome. Or taught the useful trades which fit them— Nor the religious training given them To take an honored place among men. The sacred words I recall, “He that is greatest among you— Shall be the servant of all.” Still ring true from the heavens blue. And should be a lesson to all. To love and serve mankind alike, Is the true spirit of our blessed Christ. Father Flanagan never shirked his work,— In God’s great vineyard — But has labored long and hard, And today'we* see his reward. And his efforts crowned, In the beautiful buildings of Boys’ Town! That through the years shall stand — As a monument to our beloved. Father Flanagan. Servant of God — and servant of man, God bless Father Flanagan! This poem was written by one of Omaha’s own. Father Flanagan had the pleasure of, reading it in Feb ruary, 1945. This poem was published by the Omaha Guide Publishing Co.
