UNUSUAL CAUSE
As PM would say, "Hats Off" to the striking employees of the Continental Diamond Fibre Manufacturing Company in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. The five hundred white employees are on strike there not because of any wrongs which they themselves directly suffer but because of the company's alleged unfairness to colored fellow-workers. It is not a wage dispute nor a controversy whether this union or that should represent the workers nor a demand for renewal of a contract. None of these questions, usually uppermost in labor troubles, caused the Bridgeport strike. We have it from the strikers' own lips that it is partly a protest against unsanitary conditions under which colored employees have to work and partly a protest charging the company with discrimination in failing to promote workers because of color.
The strikers appear to know that by bringing relief to any working group they strengthen the cause of all labor and push forward the whole democratic structure.
We shall need a great deal more of this kind of unity and cooperation to overcome native fascism and "win the peace" on the home front.
