NAACP Announces DisputePolicy The conflict at the Glasers Pro vision Co. makes it possible for the Omaha Branch of the NAACP to explain its policy on such disputes. To begin with, the Omaha Branch of the NAACP is not an employment agency and has, therefore, not participated in sending strike breakers to the Glaser plant. We find ourselves in line with the policy of the Na tional Association and we would like to state this policy at this time. "The National Association for the Advancement of Col ored People strongly deplores attempts of a few employers to use some Negro workers for strike breaking during la bor dispputes. The attempt ed use of unemployed Negro workers, many of whom are the victims of discriminatory practices, as strike breakers indicate a cynical attitude on the part of such employers for Negroes and does a pro found disservice to the entire Community. The use of Ne groes for strike breaking pur poses seriously harms all Ne gro wage earners and makes more precarious the status of Negroes within the American society.” FAREWELL PARTY FOR MITCHELL Miss Mennette Davidson enter tained at her home 2833 No. 24th Street, with a farewell party for Miss Nancey Mitchell. Miss Mitch ell is going to Washington D. C. where her sister will meet her. She plans to work for the govern ment.
