Meany Presses
For More Jobs
And Equality
• •
WASHINGTON — AFL . CIO
President Georg* Meany called
uixm the federal government to
help. la providing more Jobs so
that, equal opportunity for Ne
groes can be achieved in the
Patted Statei.
Making his annual Labor Day
message as chief spokesman for
th< nation’s 12.500,000 union
members. Mr. Meany said that
neither the President or Cono-
gress was doing much to stimu
late the nation’s economy, as
serting that there was ’’shock
IngX complacency in some quar
ters over the more than 5 per
cent unemployed rate In the
tion’s work force.
Ha said that the only way to
give* full employment in the na
tion was to restore the basic
35-hour work week, cut taxes,
increase pay and to provide
broader Social Security benefits.
Losing Potential
“Equal opportunities and equal
rights for Negroes beyond moral
ity. For while this equality is
denied, America is losing a tre
mendous potential source of
strength,” Meany said in his
message.
Regarding civil rights he said,
“To be frank about it, as a
nation we are vulnerable on this
point. We cannot wriggle off the
hook by saying that there is anti
semitism in the Soviet Union, or
that there is no equality of op
portunity in any Communist state.
“If there is a question whether
every American Is equal, then
the whole concept of America
is in question everywhere,”
Meany declared.

Early estimates of the numbers of buses and people
who would be journeying to Washington from Brooklyn
and Long Island were much lower than those who
actually participated. More than 350 buses, hundreds
of private cars and many more hundreds of people
who traveled by train, and by airlines, made the trek.
From Westchester, the Coordinating Committee, work
ing closely with the Urban League sent over 110 buses
and 100 private cars to the March on Washington.
Churches In The Fray
Churches in particular did
their bit. From all the boroughs
ar.d especially Brooklyn, church
es had done a tremendous job
of coordinating their groups and
of getting them off early. Many
of the church groups were lost
in the shuffle because they were
made part of a total NAACP
caravan. But the work of church
groups and the ministers them
selves cannot be denied.
The Jamaica and St. Albans
area were particularly success
ful with their own gimmick. Sev
eral well known bar-owners set
up their own caravans, sold tic
kets and formed their own groups
for the March. The fever of the
March took hold therefore, from
the churches to the taverns.

Among many Brooklynites seen

cause, which he had ever seen;
Julian Garfield of the Transit
Authority; Rev. Milton Galami-
son who had a big group with
him; Lewis Flagg, and Lena
Horne. Miss Horne said: "You
see me in high boots, an old
shirt and this NAACP forage
cap; I am no celebrity today;
just a good old Brooklynite doing
he bit for democracy.”
