THE STRIKE
Racial discrimination has been denied as the
cause of the strike of 350 white workers which
ehut down the Dodge truck division of the Chrysler
Corporation last week. The action, according to a
spokesman of the workers, involved a question of
Seniority. Whatever may have been the reason for
jthis strike at a time when war materials are so
.Vitally needed, it can be logically supposed that the
fcolor of the new workers accentuated the difficulty
of the problem at the plant. There need be no strike
to convince us that some workers are prejudiced.
The fact that the International UAW-CIO acted
quickly is a tribute to the union officers’ apprecia
tion of the danger of such discrimination. We be
lieve, however, that the UAW-CIO must pursue a
more vigorous campaign of education on matters of
race in this critical hour and act before any con
troversy can result in a strike. The rank and file
of workers shared America’s tradition of race preju
dice before the coming of unions and we are aware
that the union cannot be blamed for this tradition.
Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of the UAW
CIO to shatter this anti-democratic prejudice in as
determined a manner as is humanly possible.
It is not enough to appoint a few committees
to handle the problem of racial discrimination and
to issue occasional leaflets on equality. We believe
that the UAW-CIO has made a great contribution
to America in the efforts already put forth, but, on
the other hand, there can be no underestimating the
magnitude of the task and the urgency for its ac
complishment. New workers are being brought into
industry and they are bringing with them the social
attitudes which are not compatible with either good
unionism or good Americanism.
The UAW-CIO has an opportunity now to strike
a blow in its own behalf and in behalf of this dem
ocracy for which we are fighting. Industrial union
ism cannot grow nor exist for long if it ignores the
full rights of the black worker any more than can
democracy survive in America if the Negro people
are isolated and denied participation in its responsi
bilities and its benefits.
THE NEW VIEW
At the historic meeting last week of the Na
tional Negro Newspaper Publishers association in
Chicago which brought together more Negro news
papermen than have ever assembled under one roof,
there was apparent the beginning of anew philoso
phy regarding the function of the Negro Press.
Overtones of this new view were revealed in the
reports of officers and in the general discussions of
the problems which are inherent in the profession
of journalism.
This new view was made crystal dear in the
masterful address of a guest at the convention,
Marshall Field, eminent publisher of the Chicago
Sun and the crusading New York daily PM. We
believe that our readers might be interested in Mar
shall Field-s explanatoin of his thesis which was
that “the Negro could best win his own fight for
equality by vigorously pressing the fight against
inequality everywhere and in all its forms.”
In illustration of this new view we quote the
following paragraphs from his address:
“When the government of the United States
announces a program of improved housing for Ne
gro workers, there is no question about where you
should stand on that. You would see the necessity
for fighting for such a program and you’d go right
cut and fight for it.
“But are you fighting just as hard for equally
important projects, such as the Farm Security Ad
ministration and the Tennessee Valley Authority,
etc.? The battle for democracy is one and indivisible
and these things are just as important to you as
the local engagement in which your problems are
foremost. If you win on the larger front, your own
immediate victory in the housing fight is that
much easier.
“When you call attention to discrimination
against Negroes, you are doing a good thing —but
you are doing a thing which is expected of you.
But when you lead the people who believe in you
into battle against anti-Semitism, against the abuse
of all white, as well as black, sharecroppers in the
South, when you rise to the defense of the trade
unions, then you speak with the voice of righteous
ness and you carry conviction.”
We Detroiters who have so recently partici
pated in the famed Sojourner Truth Housing con
troversy which was won because it was waged on
Editorial Page of THE MICHIGAN CHRONICLE
a broad front of inter-racial action certainly en
dorse this program of a broader function for the
Negro Press. Repeatedly in these columns we have
given emphasis to the necessity for fighting all
tyranny wherever and whenever it raises its ugly
head. Certainly we cannot stand by or give consent
to oppression of any minority group in America
however remote its interest may seem to be from
our own. It is tyranny itself that we fight and
tyranny feeds upon conquest.
This is a responsibility which works both ways.
The continued oppression and discrimination against
the Negro makes America vulnerable to all other
forms of tyranny. Thus this message to the Negro
press has significance to the press in general. Re
duced to its most elementary terms,, this new view
recognizes as never before the “indivisibility” of the
problems which beset the American people. It is
a recognition that you cannot quarantine the Negro
alone in the socio-economic sphere, any more than
you can decree that a disease must discriminate
because of color. It is a refreshing restatement
that racial tyranny is a common enemy and that
it is to the best interests of all America, black and
white alike, that it be eliminated from our national
life. Indeed, we are fighting a war to eliminate this
tyranny from the world.

those factors which have done most

STUDY IN RURAL POVERTY by
William Edward Garnett and Allen
David Edwards (Virginia Polytech

tells of the 100,000 white families,
oe'.ween one half and one third of
the white rural families in Virginia,
and of the 65,000 Negro families,
three-fourths of the Negro rural
families, who in normal times have
a marginal standard of living. Those
having a gross family income of
less than S6OO yearly were con
sidered in the marginal group.
The authors of the study point
out that incomes of S6OO or less for
farm families in Virginia fail to
provide for such essentials as ade
quate food, decent housing, cloth
ing sufficient for health and self
respect, needed medical care, free
dom from excessive work especially
for women and children, possibility

authors state "Inquiry into tenant

communities indicates that land
lords and employers are taken ad
vantage of by shiftless tenants and
wage laborers almost u frequently
as the reverse situation prevails."
The study gives a good picture of
conditions among the marginal
group in Virginia In a rather dry
way. It is a report on an official
project of the WPA. The picture
is clear enough all over the South
of desperate poverty dogging fam
ines for generations with no room
for hope of class discriminations as
well as color prejudices that keep
the Negro and whites in a vise of
traditional hatreds and fears. Ac

these groups would be action to

The large percentages o? rejectees

situation.

Food For Freedom
Program Planned
Representatives from the South
ern Negro Youth Conference con
ferred with Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Grover B Hill here in
Washington last Thursday on ways
and means of further utilizing Ne
gro youths in the food-for-freedom
program.
LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
My dear Editor: I have read with
much interest in your paper of last
week, the statement concerning th*
Ford Motor company and the em
ployment of the women nf our
group. But I am woodcring why
the same method Is not being ap
plied’ to Chrysler, General Motors
and others.
It IS undeniably true that Mr.
Ford has been more considerate of
our people than any industrial mag
nate in his city. Why then do peo
ple try to put his organization in
the worse possible light, when
nothing seems to be done In the
cases mentioned aboVe? Ten thou
sand or more of our group employ
ed in one industrial concern does
mean something!
Coming from the South, more
than casually acquainted with prob
lems of Negro farmers, the youths
told Assistant Secretary Hill that
young colored Americans on the
farms were anxious to do their full
part in helping to win the war.
However, the delegation said that
certain disadvantages hampered
them in this effort. Among those
discussed with the Assistant Secre
tary were: lack of representation
on important farm boards and com
mittees, lack of proper Incentive
for doing farm work (such as hous
ing. wages, and general working
conditions), and lack of adequate
supervision and complete informa
tion on the agricultural phigram.
The youths praised the work
which the department has done a".
Gee’s Bend, Ala., (Farm Security
Administration Rural Rehabilita
tion Prpject) pointing to it as a fine
example of what the government
could do to help low income farm
er* produce food-for-freedom.
The delegation, headed by Miss
Esther y. Cooper, executive Mere-
As touching the employment of
women of our group, none are more
anxious than I to see it come to
pass. Indeed I do sincerely hope
that in the very Immediate future
they find use for their training. But
:s it wise "to ride to death" one
who over a period of years has
proved to be kindly disposed to
our group? Further, I wonder
whether there is a hidden reason
of which the public knows nothing.
Or whether there are unscrupulous
people who are supporting such
' pressure gestures" in order finally
to cause our group to experience
discredit in the eyes of the Ford
campany, thus bringing to an end
any disposition to hire our people
in the future.
It is well to remember that In
the last count, those who hold the
purse-strings are those with whom
we must reckon.—F. Ricksford

Victory Banquet A Success
Saturday night in the dining hall
of Thomson Avenue Baptist church
the Rev. L. J. Benson and hi*
faithful people celebrated a great
victory—a victory every progres
sive minister and his people dream
of hope, work and struggle to win.
This achievement is accomplished
only where there is a well planned
program, and a courageous people
who work and make the financial
sacrifice* which almost require
their very human blood laid on
the altar to reach the desired goal.
With the last mortgage of indebt
edness on the church burned in
May when the seventh pastoral
year of Reverend Benson's was
celebrated, Saturday night with
this victory won the church spon
sored one of the season's most ele
gant banquets. In the center of
the large dining hall a table was
laid with a rich white linen cloth,
set with sparkling glassware,
gleaming silver and china service
with a large centerpiece of fresh
cut garden roses and tall red, white
and blue tapers. Patriotic colors
were 'used throughout the church.
From this setting some two hun
dred gay, formally attired guests
enjoyed a delicious well served
turkey dinner and all the trim
mings, paying their respects and
compliments to the Reverend Ben
son who is a great religious civic
and social leader.
The Rev. S. W. Bankhead of
New Be r ea Methodist church and
Mr. Bell deacon of Warren Baptist
church; Mr. Williams deacon of
New Light Baptist church were
the guest speakers. The Reverend
Benson came to Thomson Avenue
seven years ago from the beautiful
Temple Baptist church in Birming
ham Ala. where he was a great
leader in the Alabama conference.
One of his greatest achievements
at Thomson Avenue is he brought
peace and harmony to a confused
people giving to them a better spir
itual understanding and tolerance
with their fellowman. With this
renewed courage these splendid
people have completed a beautiful
edifice and parish house. The
doors of Thomson Avenue are al
ways open to any community proj
ect with the cooperation of Rev.
Benson. His coming to this church
has been a great asset.
Sunday. June 14, this nation will be celebrating Flag day—honoring
not only our own flag but also those of all 21TUnited Nations now
allied in war against the Axis. Such an observance was requested by
the President in the Flag Day proclamation of May 9 ,in which ha
said: "Unless all triumph, all will fail.” The spirit of this historic
Flag day is portrayed above in a poster displaying the 26 flags against
our own symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty.

Last Friday night ultra-fashion
able Bereans were on hand to greet
Rev. and Mrs. Bankhead who were
clebrating their twenty-fourth
wedding anniversary and were be
ing honored by the church for
their aeventeen pastoral year* at
Berea. They were congratulated in
the receiving line with their guests.
The color schemes that were done
by the children made a perfect
background for the smart and ex
otic gowns worn by the ladies.
The reception was under the aus
pices of the Woman's Society of
Christian Service and was the last
word in its setting. George Hoag
land spoke for the community; Mrs.
Pauletta Powell for the women;
William Bright, secretary of the
church; Mr. Stokes for the church
trustees, and Dr. William H. Wil

ents. Mrs. Lottie Lee Hazard was
the narrator.

The Facts In Our News
* By HORACE A. WHITE
HOME RULE FOR
WAYNE COUNTY
There is much confusion about
the meaning of Home Rule for
Wayne county. This confusion can
be very easily understood. In the
first place the people who have
been most active for Home Rule
ried to set up a system of county
government as being a part of
Home Rule. The two do not go to
gether at all. Home Rule means in
its simplest terms that the people
of the state grant to the people in
Wayne county the right to set up
a form of government that will
best suit its needs. The state grant
ed this right to the city of Detroit
and to any city within the state
with a population over 500,000. In
the second place, graft and corrup
tion in public office have nothing to
do with Home Rule. We have Home
Rule for the city and we have had
graft and corruption. A Home Rule
charter does not mean that the
character of office holders arc
thereby made good.
Wayne county needs home rule
co that it can fit its form of govern
ment to the needs of the people in
Wayne county. Nobody in Detroit
is ready yet to say what kind of a
county government we should have.
With this in mind, why try to pre
sent the people with a plan of gov
ernment now. It is the plain duty
of the people who are behind the
Home Rule program for Wayne
county to set forth the real meaning
of Home Rule.
Negro people will be the more
skeptical of any Home Rule move
ment. This grows out of the fact
that all the Negroes in the city feel
that the Detroit city charter was
an arrangement to keep Negroes
out of the city government, as far
as elective offices are concerned.
The election of councilmen at large
docs work a hardship on Negroes
and all minority. When the char
ter was being adopted it was the
duty of leading Negroes to make
a fight for some provision in the
charter that would guarantee mi

as I get the record from old news
