any anti-Negro sentiment.

KEEP OUR JOBS CLEAN KEEP

spirit which has existed betiveen the races. Any white person who allows his mind to be taptured by the message of

and his country. cae 2 4

We have a terrific responsibility to ourselves in Flint;
~we must not do or say things that will bring disgrace to our

city. The right-thinking person, white or black, will realize

the damage done to our civic pride when such as the above: _ is produced.

The union is a fine group; it.can do much to make living

more pleasant in Flint. It has always stood for the principles

H

of good citizenship. Let~s not permit a few to spoil the prestige of our unions by careless or emotional acts.

and equal benefits for -the

amout spent, in other words the =

parity between jobs _ received,
civil liberties allowed, and the
amount of money we as Negroes

spend is unequal. In turn, the

low paying jobs religate us to
run down neighborhoods to live,
thus giving others a chance to
say that is the way we prefer
to live, but this is only another
link in the vicious circle of discrimination. We were given a
very good example of how controlled spending can be very ef
fective by Montgomery, Ala. The -

Negroes 4f Montgomery only
spent dimes for their ~bus fare,
but by every Negro withholding
his dime the Bus company: of
Montgomery was made to feel

~that the Negro was not satis
fied with the treatment he was
getting for the ten cents spent

with them, so upon the.

Timely decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The
bus Co. readily took down~ the
segregation signs. But the battle is not won in the city of
Montgomery. So the Negroes
there continue to fight with
their dimes..
Maybe we are over confident
in the ability of the Flint Negro
but it is our considered opinion

~that with the wage scale being

so much higher, we should be at
least able to make a comparative effort in the field. of econ
omy.

HERMAN HAMILTON,

The elections are over, our
good friend, Nat Turner, didn~t
make the grade. Many of his
supporters are dissappointed that
he didn~t see fit to answer the
accusations. brought against him
by the membership. However, it
is probably best that he remained silent. It is a shame that
it was necessary for him to. be
the center of such controversy.
Years ef effort have been logt
because a few lost their heads
and became drunk with ~power.~

~I. should like to. skip back
down in Mississippi. Did you ever
drive down South and stop at
wayside stores and. talk to the
crowds gathered around? Well,
here are a few comments. from
these people. ~I~ve been around
these ~parts for 50 years and
when I first came here the boss
would come around and say:

IS SLAVERY STILL LEGAL?

_ Because of its effect on the
internal history of the United
States, many of us think of slav-. ery as something that started

in the deep South and ended
with Lincoln~s proclamation in
1863. But involuntary servitude,
at one time a world-wide instiution, is far older than written
history and still exists.
Newspapers have reported
that slavery is legal.in Saudi
Arabia and Yemen, both members of the United Nations. If
not legal, it exists openly in
both. Saudi Arabia refused in
1950 to answer a U.N. query on
the subject, and in 1955 much
evidence was produced that
Moslems of French Africa have
been sold as slaves in Yemen
Saudi. Arabia. Prices for men
run from $570 to $1,150. Women bring a bit more. The astonishing feature is. that these
people are captured while on a
pilgrimage to Mecca, a sacred
Moslem affair They are,sold in
well-organized urban slave markets to people suddenly ric
Arabian oil.

That is pure slavery, and no one
knows how many millions are
so enslaved. Brazil did not free
its slaves until 1889. Slave scan
sla
were not freed in Russia until

ing, a larger proportion of. people in Greek city-states were
slaves. Even in early Greece and
Rome, manumission, the freeing
of individual slaves by an owner, was common. The Old Testament speaks of slavery. ~

Many slaves were held by the
church in Europe in the Middle
Ages. Penal servitude existed
until this century. Attacks of the
Moors and Turks on European
countries caused a great increase in slavery, but the practice received its greatest impetus from exploration and contact
in eastern Asia, southern Africa

~and the Americas. The Portu
guese discovered the profits of
slavery in Africa, and the trade
continued for 500 years. It still
flourishes in places.

The Spaniards started slavery
in this hemisphere in the West
Indies, Mexico and Peru.. The
Portuguese started it in Brazil.
The Negroes were better workmen than the native Indians,
some tribes of whom were exterminated by hard labor. Later,
England, - with her far-reaching

Sheriff Grimes said.

The appointments raise to the
total of Negro deputies to four.
The first hired were Willie Lee
Armour, 488 Auburn Ave., N. E.
and Vaskers Mskinney, 136 Staford St., S. W. both of whom
began work late June..

In announcing the new
appointment. Sheriff Grimes
_ pointed out that the two deputies

job,~ thus more than justifying
the additional hiring.

He said the Negro deputies are
assigned to guard prisoners on
the fifth floor of the county jail
and do any other duties to which
they may be assigned.

One young man, around 28
years old, was asked by his boss
as he disembarked from a truck,
