‘Republicans Cannot Resurrect Lincoln,’ Sheffield §ay&
AVOWS NEGROES
FOR ROOSEVELT
IN N.Y. SPEECH
Decrying any effort* on the pert
©f the Republican party 10 resur
rect Abraham Lincoln. Horace
Sheffield, international representa
tive UAW-CIO told a radio audi
ence In New York this week that
Negroes in Michigan have checked
the record and know what the
Roosevelt administration has done
for the common people of the
country.
Specking on a radio program in
the interest of the PAC, Sheffield,
well known Detroit labor leader,
declared that Negroes in Michigan
are bitter in their resentment
•gainst the alliance which the Re
publican party has made with the
poll tax politicians.
Insincere Propaganda
"In spite of voluminous and in
sincere Republican propaganda,
Negroes in Michigan, along with
white workers and liberals of
Michigan are going to place their
state in the column of liberalism,’ 1
Sheffeld said.
The Negro citizens of Michigan
know that in contrast to the blooie
of Dewey* we have achieved much
under the administration of Roose
velt” the international re presents*
live said.
Sheffield reviewed the record of
the p resent administration with re-
Eto education, health, unions,
farms, business, security, and
Be. Said he, “You and I know
that all of the progressive reforms
that have been enacted have been
achieved because a federal gov
ernment sympathetic to the need*
of the people is in Washington."
"The Negro people in Michigan i
•re on the march," Sheffield said,
and are taking their places with !
the white liberal forces who are
trying to attain that century of the
common man so nobly enunciated
by Vice President Wallace."

To File Brief
Arnica! Curiae
WASHINGTON. D C -William
H. Hastie, on behalf of the NAACP
has requested permission to file a
brief Amicus Curiae in the case
of Larus and Brother Co., Inc, Case
No. 5-R-1413.
The application to rescind certifi
cation of Local 219 by the United
Cannery. Agricultural. Packing and
Allied Workers of America. CIO.
filed over six months ago, raised
two basic issues revealing deroga
tory union practices: (1) That Local
No. 219 obtained a majority vote
in the election to determine an
exclusive bargaining agent by will
ful. false and fraudulent represen
tations to the voting employees;
<2> That since winning the election
Local No. 219 has failed and refused
to bargain for Negro wprkers to
membership in Local No. 219 or to
any participation in its collective
bargaining activities.

Judge In Ruling
A Negro maid and her husband,
as a part-time employe, may con
tinue to reside at the* rooming
house of Mrs. Mamie Trimble. 2081
Longfellow avenue for the dura
tion. According to a ruling handed
down Thursday by Judge Guy A.
Miller in Cirouit £ourt, Mrs Trim
ble obtained her authority from a
special license itsued early in tho
war to relieve the housing short
age. Thus the restrictive covenant
prohibiting residents other than of
the Caucasian raca. ia nullified.
When action was brought by the
Boston-Edison Protective Associa
tion and four neighbors against
Mrs. Trimble and the Home Own
ers Loan Corp., this ruling was
handed down, permitting the maid
and her husband to remain there.
Mrs Trimble said that the Negro
maid refused to work for her un
less the maid's husband was per
mitted to live on the premises. He
is a D.S.R. employe and works on
a part time basis for Mrs. Trimble
to care for the furnace. Both live
