His body has returned to its mother
which is the earth where your and

Discrimination In
Union Is Discussed
By CANUTE FRANKSON
' Representatives of the U. A. W,
Negroes in the Union, called a meet
interested m the problems <>f tht*
ing Sunday. Feb. 26, for the purpose
lof discussing problems of the Ne
| groes in the shops and in the union
1 and drawing up resolutions to Lv
presented to the special conven
tion to convene in Cleveland on
March 27.
Joseph Billups, the Negro repre
■ sentative of the International, gave
a detailed report of the union and
; its relation to Negroes, outlining the
i demands of the Negro membership
!of the union and their problems.
; Many cases of discrimination were
: cited.
1 The outlying areas. Pontiac. Flint,
i Saginaw and New Haven were rop
j resented. These out-of-town dcle
j ture of the grievances of the No
! union had lost Negro members bc
icause it had not dealt with these,
j grievances. But stated that this
j was brought about because the of- i
I ficials of the union do not under
stand that the problems of the Ne-'
j groes must be dealt with as such
apart from the regular problems of
the whole membership.
Pay Differential*
| One of the outstanding com
plaints was the differential in pay
I for the whiles and the Negroes do
ing the same type of work, some-
I other was the discrimination!
against Negroes in opportunity for
apprenticeship in the factories. And
I still another, is the departmental
i seniority rights, which forces the !
Negroes to have seniority rights'
; ‘>nly in their segregated dt»part
; Those problem? were dismissed ,
I thoroughly by the body and the
| following conclusion was reached:
I That a resolution committee be np.
I pointed to draw up a resolution on !
| the basis of the resolutions present-"
j ed to the body, that would cover
all the demands of the Negroes in
the union.
Adopt Resolutions
j The resolution submitted by the
i Cl, mmittce. and unanimously adopt
ed by .the body, embodied the fol
lowing points: that Negro organiz
ers be added to the organizing staff,
that Negro women be given the
rights to work in the offices of the
locals and the international, and
in the tactories on production work;
That -Negroes should have the same
rights as the whites to apprentice
ship, promotion .training and ad
vancement m the factories; that
'here -hould be at least one Negro'
on the executive board of the in
ternational; and that a department,
made tip of whites and Negroes, be
1 set up to deal with the problems of
the National Minorities.
Another meeting, to further and!
broaden, the plans for the "carrying j
. of proposals and demands into defi
nite* action, is scheduled to be held 1
at Ferry Hall, 1343 East Ferry on
Sunday, March 5, at 2 p.m. All
Negro members of the U. A. W
•.should attend this meeting.

mittee of the Atlas Power and

WITHOUT being a politician in any sense of the
word, Joseph C. Price won for himself a singu
lar reputation for eloquence and public spirit. Born
in Elizabeth City, N. C., his early childhood was not
promising—his mother being free and his father a slave.
After the Civil War, however, he advanced rapidly,
and for some years attended an Episcopal school in
his home town. After four years of teaching at Wilson,
and a few months at Shaw University, he entered
Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, where he took
various prizes in public speaking, and was valedic
torian in 1879.
In 1881, while on his way to London to attend the
Ecvmenical Conference, Bishop Hood took up with
him the matter of accepting the Presidency of the pro
posed Livingstone College. When the conference was
adioumed he toured the British Isles and through his

educational work of Joseph Price was such that he was
hailed as anew leader of the race. His speaking was
always simple and logical, but he had a voice of such
resonance and a presence of such great command
that the effects of his eloquence were highly out

That he might devote all of his time and efforts to his
chosen work, he declined the post of Minister to

shock and loss to his people, but his contribution to
