C„ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1967 Extensive Research Favorable WASHINGTON (NRI) - Amid the setbacks of racial violence, two signs of improvement to the Negro’s situation have been seen by federal officials. On the one hand, Reger W. wnvtos, director, Community Relations Service, saw hope in the development of Negro ra cial awareness and black pride. Asvi on the other hand, Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark cited 1967 &s a year of record civil rights gains., despite the summer ri ots. According to Wilkins, “The Development of pride and self sufficiency of black America is just as healthy as it can be. “The threat so many whites sense in the concept oi black solidarity isn’t that at all,” he said. “Rather , it indicates that black people no longer think of themselves as lowly and sub ordinate.” Black solidarity, he indicat ed, shows that Negroes “intend to hold their destiny in their own hands and that America has to deal with them.” Other hopeful news came from Atty. -Gen. Clark, who said the federal government's 1967 record of civil rights advance ment was “something, to take pride in.’ _The Justice department, Clark sata, can show “a major step-up to the i mol err entailon of the laws we’ve got - public accommodations, voting, schools, and now a real tough one, job discrimination.” The Administration's efforts of recent years “took quite a bit more courage arid com mitment than the earlier, hap pier, and more popular ef forts,” he said. Clark’s right-hand man on civil rights, Asst. Atty.-Gen. John Doar, said the convictions of five men under federal ci vil rights law's for crimes of terror to Georgia and Alabama “have been terribly significant to curbing terror down there.” f»9* fiMMHEJMCCI F. tj accosted by someone at the corner of East and Cabarrus Streets and beaten with hands and fists.

F. *> Labor Can Eradicate Violence The history of the labor movement in America is a les son to responsibility. The movement began at a time when workers were treat ed more as commodities than as human beings; when most men and women were without power to affect the conditions and wages of their working lives; and when the laws of fered no protection for collec tive action. In another country, or to dif ferent hands, the workers’pro test against these conditions might have degenerated into sustained violence. There are always some who glorify vio lence as the mid-wife of pro gress. There are always sor.n •> who mistakenly equate hatred with determination, force with justice. But the American labor movement learned early that violence is the sure road to disaster. Labor in tins coun try organized not to destroy, but to demand a part of the American dream. As a result, the American worker today en joys a prosperity and a securi ty unknown to any other work ing man to the history of the world. Now, on this seventy-third Labor day, America and her la bor movement have much to celebrate. More Americans --76.2 mil lion of us, LG million more than on last Labor Day are at work than ever before. The unemployment rate, now 3,9 percent, has been Mow 4 per cent during all but one month to the past year and a half. This is the longest period of sustain ed low unemployment since the early 19505.
