the following statement con
cerning Negroes was made by
Ist Congressional District Can

Everett, referring to th •
blacks, said, "they're here to

them. If we could I would
probably lead the forces but
we can't let them continue to

way."
The article also said:
Everett took a swing at his
opponent, Rep. Walter Jones,
accusing him of voting with the
liberals on all the important
close votes when his party
needed him, and truly repre

didn't mean anything.

after the company's board of
directors snubbed their noses
at the workers' attempts to
negotiate longstanding griev

Skilcraft, which employs
about 150 persons - ninety
per cent of them blind and
well over half of them Black --
has been cited by the workers
over the past four years for its
unfair, discriminatory and, ex
ploitative work conditions.
The workers have continual
ly sought in vain to meet with
company officials. They have
been backed in their demands
by a number of groups and
influential individuals in the
Black community.
Early last month, a group of
respected and influential
Black community members, in
cluding several ministers and
civic leaders, toured the Skil
craft plant.
At a press conference held,
a spokesman for the group re
vealed to newsmen that the
