keynote address by James M.
Hinton, president of'the S. C.i
? Conference of NAACP, and thej
temporary organization of delegates
by counties represented. i
Hinton finalized his dynamic
address by declaring that durj
chief' busniess of the day is to]
get more and more people registerad
and out to the p o l'i s on
every election day. Four hundred
thousand Negroes voting intelli-'
gently in every ejection would;
change the minds and campaign I
speeches of politicians very quick
ly, Hinton asserted.
Declaring that he is a "Demo^l
crat and intends to remain one,'
Hinton said that there is ample
room in South Carolina for all,
political a c t i. o ji. organizations j
-fchould aim for full registration
Of their members. He charged
?the^ Lincoln clubs and similar organizations
to open their rolls to'
both races and to raise money to
assist worthy candidates, H e
scathingly denounced 'misleaders'
.who sell out their followers, and
individuals \vho sell their votes t
for ""a. dollar or" a half pint."

Negroes To Gain I
Merger, Leaders S
MIAMI BEACH, Flu. (ANI?)?
: Negro labor leaders agreed last
? week that the decision for merger
of the CIO and the AFL
would be a boon to colored workers
as well as the entire talJOT"
movement in the United States.
Negotiating committees of the
_ two unions met here last week
and agreed on the merger whioli'i
I has been rumored for sometime.
(Before it will become final, both
nati rnal conventions of the unions
will have to ratify it.
However, last week's action is
i expected to he continued without
| difficulty, for leaders in both
. unions long have expressed a dcI
sire to bring about unity, so that
| woi !:ers could present a unified
\fvo\ t to the nation.
I.abor leaders?Negroes as well
<J as Whiter?have said that the 15
million workers in the two unions
~"j wor ld**he i v a better position- to J
j bargain under one banner than
thev now are under two.
The ? colored leaders maintain
that unity is good for the labor
mo ement and what is good for
all labor is good for the Negro
worker. Those who have made
statements on the proposed merger
Include Willard Towsend, International
president of the United
Transport Service Employees,
CIt), and Charles Hayes, director
of pistrict 1, United Packinghoi
