The union heads now seek a congressional investi gation. Why this stubborn persistence on the part of these labor chiefs? Why the equally stubborn immovability of the rail roads? Why the refusal of the Government to become in volved other than as mediator? Consider the plight of Messrs. Alvanley Johnston of the Engineers, David B. Robertson of the Firemen and Engine men, and A. J. Glover of the Switchmen. They are out on a long, long limb. They have, inescapably, pulled their unions with them. To a degree, all of labor shares their precarious perch. ' i They parted company with 18 other railway unions and refused a settlement all the others accepted. They by-passed the chance for arbitration. They rejected the recommenda tions of the emergency fact-finding 'board. They ignored an appeal from the President. They forced Government seizure of the railroads and brought upon themselves a Federal in junction. They have revived talk in Congress and elsewhere about the necessity of further purbs on labor unions. Consider their position with their own men and with labor in general if, with a record of such dubious accomplish ment behind them, they have to climb down from that limb with no more apples in their hands than the other unions gathered without damaging the good name of rail labor! We do -not presume to pass judgment on the demands of these three unions. Perhaps some of what they want, all rail workers should get in due time. We do nott know. But ot one thing we feel very sure: they should not get it now. For if they do, it would be tantamount to telling the IS unions who accepted the best they could get through the give and-take of the bargaining table that they are saps—that the way to get results is to create a national emergency, and put the squeeze on the Government. To make sure nothing like that happens now transcends any and all of the merits of the dispute itself. , Minnesota Meets the Challenge There is no indication that Governor Luther Youngdahl of Minnesota is even thinking of becoming a candidate for President on the ticket of any party, and yet he has come for ward with a deemand that colored men be integrated into the National Guard of his State. The Governor of Minnesota thus takes his stand beside “the Governor of New Jersey in demanding that jim crowism ibe abandoned in the armed forces under his command. Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, who is trying to get in the White House, has been careful to say nothing in favor of abandoning jim crowism in the National Guard of his State, although a bill to that effect was introduced by a Negro representative in the Assembly last spring. The big enemy of this democratic step is Army Secre tary Kenneth Royall who hails from the South and lives up to the Negro-phobic reputation of his area. Mr. Royall bases his refusal to sanction the recommend -ation of the Governor of Minnesota on “a report of competent and experienced officers” under his command, presumably the Gillem report. Superior to Secretary Royall, however, is President Tru man, the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces who has been loudly advocating a complete program of civil rights. President Truman has emphatically declared that his pro gram will be applied to the armed services but so far he has failed to issue any orders to his subordinate, Secretary, Royall, to carry out the civil rights program in the National Guard. The Governor of Minnesota has met the challenge to the extent of his ability but one wonders when and if the President of the United States will do likewise. Secretary Royall has inferred that he will resign rather than carry out a policy of integration in the National Guard. We think he should if he is not big enough to measure up to the demands of the times. 1 j\ Landmark In Negro Progress Last week’s most significant news was the announcement from New York City that a group of prominent Negroes has established there the Midway Technical School in the heart i of Harlem for the training of young Negroes ifi radio service and repair, preparatory television, radio mathematics and grequency modulation. Headed by Director Jerome Morgan and with accommo dations for at least 1,000 students, the new school will fill a great need in Negro life. There will be a separate floor for the various skills being taught, with complete units of class rooms, shops, and labrary provided for each trade. The new school will have the latest equipment and fur nishings, and funds have been appropriated to make it a school measuring up to the 'best in the field. ^ This school is not simply a local institution because such | men as Dr. C. B. Powell, New York capitalist aqd publisher;! Dr. Haley Bell, Detroit Physician; Oscar Brown, Chicago lawyer, and Alan Dingle, New York attorney, head the project. We live in a technological age and unless Negroes are trained to meet the requirements of this age it will be impos sible for them to hold their own. Lacking the normal opportunities for apprenticeship and training, it is up to Negroes to fill that lack, and this the New York group has done to its credit. —r ———— LET’S PLAY SAFE ALWAYS!

UNCLE BILL COULD DANCE ALL NIGHT-BUT Bill Robinson and Pete Rober tson—its always fair weather when good friends are together. ' -.- I New York City (CNS)— Special Whenever Bill Robin son, who recently turned 70. drives his ancient Duesenberg down Seventh Avenue, he us ually stops 20 blocks from home in front of Pete’s Creole. He jumps out of the black Ger man-stvled car and walks br iskly into the restaurant. He taps on the door and asks “Yo* allow any dancing in he re?” And before Pete can ans wer .he”ll dance up to the juke box pour in three or four handy nickles and soft-shoe down the/ first aisle and up the second, f He’ll totally upset the place for all the guests will get vp to try and follow his intricate foot work. Soon all the kids in the neigh borhood will crowd in the doors to watch Uncle Bill. He never gets tired of dancing and he never seems to run out of nickles. So wise Peter Robert son brings out fried ham san dwich and vanilla icecream. The effect never fails. Bill for gets all dancing and settles down with a big spoon and choice bits of ad-libbing. aters have pledged their loy*l ty fo the institute in promot ing better scholarship, develop ing student leadership and fos tering programs conductive to a well rounded education.
