To Expel Jim Crow Locals

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 20~The NAACP~s labor
secretary has called upon the organized labor movement to expel from its ranks all local unions with Jim
Crow practices.

~Herbert Hill told delegates to the annual meeting
of the Cleveland NAACP branch that the Association
belidves that ~just. as organized labor has expelled
unions from its ranks for communism and corruption it
should also expel unions for racial] discrimination.

The NAACP official singled out a Cleveland labor

union ag one which should be disciplined by the executive council of the AFL-CIO. He asked for ~vigorous~

action~ against Local 38, International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers AFL-CIO, ~if it does not immediately
comply with the decision of the Cleveland Community
Relations Board to admit qualified Negro applicants.
Mr. Hill declared that Local 38 is ~~~clearly violating
the official civil rights policy of the merged labor move~ment,~ and that the local union ~has brought shame and
disgrace on the good name of the American labor move
ment.~

The continued refusal of Local 38 of the electrical
workers to admit qualified Negroes, thereby preventing
employment of Negroes in Cleveland construction installation, is a defiance of an order of the Community Relation Board. The Board found the union guilty cf racial]
discrimination on June 18. |

The racist policy of Local 38 has been presented by
the NAACP to the President~s Committee on Government Contracts. The matter also,is_ pending with the
AFL-CIO national civil rights department.

Morris Riger, area director of the United Textile
Workers of America AFL-CIO who presented Mr. Hill
to the delegates, called upon the AFL-CO to act more
vigorously on its declared civil rights program. i

At the meeting, Dr. James Levy was re-elected fres!dent of the Cleveland NAACP branch and Harry Wise,
international representative of the International Union
of Electrical Workers, was re-elected to the branch~s executive board. Mr. Wise again will be chairman of the
labor and industry committee of the branch.

Ex-Dean Says
(Continued from Page 1)

In the community...Freeom is
a thing that lives.in the hearts
ot people and it isn~t only an
individual thing; it~s in the
~relationships that we have to
each other.~

Three R's *

On the subject of teaching
only the ~Three R~s~, Dr. Melby had this to say: ~We have
plenty of proof abou that kind
of education... In 1939 [I dare
say that Germany was the most
literate nation on earth in terms
of the 3-R~s, the sciences, and all
this emphasis on subject matter.

And what did they do? They
exterminated 614 million people
in cold blood. They fell to a new
low in human behavior...The
educational problem of our day

_|is to help people become all

they are capable of becoming.
Offers Solution

Dr. Melby offered one solution
to the problem.

He felt that a chld~s education goes on outside as well as
inside of the school building.

He felt that the community~
the playground, the church, the
|home~were areanas where
freedom could live in the hearts
of everyone so that each could
take advantage of those opportunities offered to reach his
potential.

Three Cities
Integrating

Bus integration began jin two southern cities over
the past few days, with minor incidents happening in
each of three cities, where integration was ~attempted~~.

Montgomery, Alabama,) winner of the first round in
the ~~bus boycott~, wag the first Southern City to begin
~integrating~ Negroes, without regards to their seated
positions on busses~last Friday.

One minor incident marred the initial riding, but
nothing official happened as was reported to police.

The U. S. Supreme Court, had turned down an appeal
of Montgomery White citizen-to have the ~integration
of all people, regardles of race, on busses~ reversed. |

In Tallahassee, Fla., Negroes, aware of the Supreme
Court decision, also began to sit oh all city busses without restrictions Monday. iiss

Montgomery. citizens, under: leadership of. the Rev.
Martin Luther King, had refused to ride busses in that
city for more than a year, ~~~when they voted to return
to riding, on an integrated basis~, last week, following
the U. S. Supreme Court decision, upholding their concention, ~that all citizens, regardless of race, are entilted to ride public. vihicles, without discrimination.~

| 7 Months Boycott~

Tallahassee, Fla., Negro Citizens, had enforced a boycott of city. busses for more than seven months.

Following a vote, they returned to riding wihout regard to seating, ~because of race~~,.on Monday of this
week.: |

Birmingham (Alabama) citizens challenged the right
to ~ride~-without delegting themselves to back or front
seats this~ weék. *

One young colored girl was beaten at a bus stop
by several white_men who told her, ~stay of the busses
~in front~.

Meanwhile, citizens, white and colored, throughout
the nation were watching the integration processes,
with a majority, apparently hoping that ~it worked~
with out miscues.~
