Flint Spokesman [Volume: 2, Issue: 2]

THE FLINE SPOKESMAN ~

Waseca. _ ANP ~ _ The
future of the south and of the
capitalist system itself is threatened by the portal to portal bill,
which has passed the house and
is now before the senate, according to Clark Foreman, president
of the Sourthern Conference for
Human welfare.

Foreman says that the bill
would emasculate the fair labor,
standards act and result in disaster to the south~s standard jot
living, because of the large num.,
ber of unorganized workers in
the south who will suffer ~most
if the bill becomes law.. >:.

~Of the near 3,000,000 + workers

cagided ' in sinafachiieine in the
southern states, close to 400,000
are Negroes who need the protection of fair labor standards act
and who will suffer most if HR
2157 becomes law.

In a telegram sent to Sen. Robert Taft (R. Ohio), Mr. Foreman
said, ~Undermining legal-protection for workers is the surest
way to another depression. At a
time when the future of capitalism. depends on an increasing
purchasing power, HR 2157 would
remove safeguards against exploitation and open the way to

~economic chaos.~

Precedent-Setting Ruling Favors

Cattle Company

~NOGALES, <Ariz~(ANP)~A
precedent-setting ruling by Judge
Irvin Mollison, the nation~s only
Negro U. S. government over
excess duties in livestock exportation.

* Judge Mollison ordered the
government to refund excess duties paid by the cattle company,
which had sued the government
for excess payment of duties involved in the export of cattle
which had been standing in rainy
weather more than 24 hours prior
te shipment to the United States
from Cananea, Mexico.

- The jurist agreed with Philip

Stein, Las Angeles lawyer for the

~-attle company, that each head of

cattle gains at least five pounds
in rainy weather due to the adherence of mud and, moisture.
W. G. Bowman, of Tuscon, a
former customs collector, testified in favor of the Greene Cattle company.

The government was represented by Richard Welsh, of New
York, special gssistant attorneygeneral. Custom court was held
in the Santa Cruiz county courthouse and ended its current calendar,

Colonel Campbell Johnson Asks:

~Prove Democracy Can Work~. WASHINGTON ~ ANP ~ Col.
~#mpbell C. Johnson, executive
assistant to Maj. Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, selective service director, urged the American people to
prove by deed and action that denaocracy can work. Speaking before approximately - 500 persons
répresenting 48 civic, religious,
social and educational organizations who had gathered at a testimonial banquet in his honor, held
in the Presidential room at: the
Hotel Statler, Tuesday night, the
colonel said ~truly this is America-at ifs best.~

Upon receiving a_testimonial
scroll and a gold-bound volume
of laudatory messages for his 25
years of community service, the

honored officer said he was deeply impressed with the vast au
dience which to him was a real
symbol of America.
~Here, he. said. is a repre
sentation of the cross-section of
America. These people come from |

(
cation, civic military and religious irregardless of race or color. To me he continued, this is
symbolic of new times; it- is
proof that democracy can work.

~The world has divided itself
in two parts,~ he added, ~one of
these parts is democracy. Other
people are listening to our repre?
sentatives and are reading what
we say, but they are also watching what wé do. Two thirds of
the peoples of the world are colored and ~they will be more convinced when they see that America is practicing democracy.~

He spoke of Washington as no
longer being considered the capital of America but the capital of
the world, thus, the leading exponent of world brotherhood.
Therefore, it is necessary that
our community problems _ be
worked out from that point of
view, One thing we must fear,
he pointed out, is the element of
time. Time is running against A
all walks of life, business, edu- merica, not against the Negro

Discrimination A More Serious | |
Problem With Negroes Than
Any Other Ethnic Group; Stiner

By Hubert H. White

HONOLULU ~ Many sociologists continue to arrive in Haraii
and express a desire to find out
what makes these islands called
the ~~melting pot of the world.~
Dr, Jesse F. Steine, head of the
sociology depatment at the University of Hawaii, plans to make

an analysis of the racial situation. |

~T have always lookel to Hawaii
for a more normal attitude toward racial intermarriage than
the Pacific coast,~~ he declared in
a speech at Homenway hall.

~Time is a prime factor in the
solution of racial prejudice,~ he
believes... However, he quickly
added that ~the final solution, is
amalgamation.~

Taking cognizance of the, forward march of
world over, especially the Negro,
Dr. Steiner feels that the next
generation will be ~~much: more
tolerant.~

As for the evacuation of the
Japanes? from the Pacific coast,
Dr. Steiner agrees that it was a
tragic mistake of the war. ~However,~~ he said with unusual emphasis, ~~since it happened, the
resulting good has: been a wider

distribution of Japanese in the
