Roosevelt Aid
NEW YORK - In • statement
issued here this week. Dr. W E B
DIIBOII noted Negro scholar, de
clared l/ooking carefully at the
record I feel without the ihghte**

done more for the uplift and
procre** of the American Negro
than any President since Abraham
Lincoln "
jA —' • W
When the transportation workers of Philadelphia struck against
the up-grading of eight Negro workers last August, the rights
of Negro workers all over America were threatened!
To guarantee the economic rights of all the people and to en
r
force an order of the FEPC, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
ordered the United States Army to seize the Philadelphia Transpor
tation Company. He did this to enforce a national policy of non-dis
crimination which he inaugurated as President of the United States.
THE DEWEY-NOTHING PARTY
The. Republican Mayor of Philadelphia and the Republican Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania did nothing to protect these workers de
spite the fact that the Republican Party just six weeks before
adopted a plank in their platform giving lip service for a per
manent FEPC. They took the typical Republican position on the
Negro issue—talk loud, but do nothing.
“THE KEYSTONE OF ALL THAT WE INTEND TO DO IN RECONVERSION
CAN BE FOUND IN THE ONE WORD...JOBS!”

It was President Roosevelt who in Executive Order 8802 created
a new Bill of Rights for Negro workers in industry by establish
ing the Fair Employment Practice Committee to guarantee the job
rights of all citizens, regardless of race, creed, color or national
origin. When the FEPC directed the Philadelphia Transportation
Company to cease discrimination in its hiring policies, the
Roosevelt administration stood firm in support of this order.
This in a nutshell is the Philadelphia Story. There has never
been a more thrilling defense of the right of Negroes to work and
hold the same job as other Americans in the history of our coun
try. This is one of the reasons why Franklin Delano Roosevelt will
be returned to office on November 7th.
