GRANT STORES REJECT DEMAND FOR NEGRO CLERKS NEW YORK—(CNA) — The Com j mittee to Fight Job Discrimination, elected at a United Front Meeting sponsored by the League of Struggle For Negro Rights, visited Grant’s 125th Street on Tuesday with de , mands of the employment of Negro girls as clerks and technical workers. The manager of the store, Mr j , Carr, hedged on the demands with J : the statement that he considered it unfair for the committee to concen- j j trate on the Grant Stores. He de- j ! clare his store hired a Negro porter and that none of his competitors were hiring Negro clerks Pressed by the committee, Carr admitted that it was a definite policy of the big chains and stores to bar Negroes from em ployment in any other capacity than porters and maids. The Committee indignantly denounced this policy as directed to keeping the Negro on the lowest rungs of capitalist society as a super exploited and nationally op . pressed group They warned Carr | that the masses of Harlem would push ' the fight against job discrimination 1 with releentless energy and a boycott against all stores refusing to hire Negro The Committee then revisited the Harlem press with a report of their interview with Carr The Negro V» orld refused to support the cam paign Fred R Moore of the New York Age restated his refusal to support the fight and immediately called up the Grant Store to express his solidarity with its Jim-Crow policies, telling the manager not to pay any attention to the demands of the workers of Harlem The committee will give its report at a mass meeting at St Luke’s Hall, 125th West 130th Street, on Sept 9, where plans will be worked out for an intensive boycott of the Jim crow stores _ HARLEM TOBACCO WORKERS JOIN GENERAL STRIKE AGAINST N.

I have asked myself the question, “Are these applicants to be refused admission because of their color?”— if so, being a tolerant, I urge your membership to consider these appli cants if for no other reason that to do justice to these two American citizens and residents of Omaha. I do not attempt to advise your organization to pass upon members for admission but it occurs to me since the applicants have passed the city examination by the board of Mo tion Picture Examiners that alone should qualify those men to be mem bers of your local union.

FIVE PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS APPROVED Estimate Total Cost at $35,635; Will Help Jobless LINCOLN, Neb.—Sponsors of five public works projects this afternoon won approval of the state public works board after a hearing in which they asked federal grants totaling $10,995 and a loan for $11,050 for projects estimated to cost $35,635. Approval of two of the projects, however, was subject to conditions, a Henderson school district improve ment subject to certain alferations in plans, and a Scribner watr improve ment subject to approval there Fri day of a bond issue at an election. The requests approved were: Hend erson school district, $1,200 grant on a four thousand dollar gymnasium and community building; Scribner, $4,665 grant and $11,050 loan for $15,715 water improvements; Albion, $1,200 grant on a $2,800 water improvement; state normal board, $1,280 grant on a $4,280 repair of the gymnasium at Kearney State Teachers' college; and Hall county, $2,650 on an $8,840 road and bridge project. Representatives of the Grand Is land library, scheduled for a hearing did not appear. H H Henningson, engineer, said the Scribner project would furnish about four thousand dollars in wages in the community and thus give $80 to $90 a month to the 48 unemployed married men there, or about $50 a month if divided among all the un employed. At Albion, he said, the project would furnish 15 men work for about 60 days L R Rudd, Hall county engineer, said projects there would furnish nine thousand man hours of labor. I LAbMViy...

P. has launched a campaign for $10,000 to carry on the fight for full equal rights for Negro citizens. The branch is distributing thousands of pieces of literature citing its record of the past seven months in which more than two hundred complaints were handled and ten suits filed against restaurants, railroads, the Pullman company and theatres. Two suits were won, none lost and the rest pending. Branch headquarters are at 3456 South State street Effort to Lower Wage of Negro Threat To NR A ATLANTA, Ga.—Efforts to write into the code of the N R A a lower wage scale for Negroes constitute a threat to the President’s program of economic recovery and also to the wage and living standards of white working people, according to a state ment given to the press today by W W Alexander, executive director of the Commission on Interracial Co opraetion. This proposal, which is be ing urged by certain employers of labor, is not only unjust to working people, white and colored, but is also economically unsound, according to Dr Alexander who predicts that the wiser economic leaders of the South Will reject it. Dr Alexandr’s state- j ment follows in full: “Employers of labor who are urg ing a lower wage level for Negroes under the code of the N R A are offering a dangerous proposal. If put into effect, it would undermine the President's program of economic re covery in the South, and at the same time would cut the economic founda tions from under the feet of white working men. Negroes, pressed to ac cept and even to ask for such a dif ferential, are vigorously and, I think, quite properly objecting. They are un‘ willing to be put in the role of ‘scabs’, undercutting the white man’s wage and standard of living. “They maintain soundly that in case of equal work and equal effi- j ciency justice denfcmds equal wages. They point also to the practical fact that Negroes have to pay just as much for the necessities of life as white people do To force them to a lowerjevel than the minimum set by the N R A can mean only lower living standards than those contem plated by the code. This would in eviably play into the hands of un scrupulous employers eager to side step their obligations in this crisis It would constitute also a limitation of the Negro’s purchasing power which would cripple the whole pro gram of recovery in the South There can be no economic recovery for the South that does not include the Ne gro. The wiser economic leaders will not acquiesce in a plan so obviously unsound.” NAACP.

NO GOOSESTEP DRIVE.’ JOHN SON ASSERTS “Buy Now, Buy Under Blue Eagle,” He Asks in Boston Speech. BOSTON, Mass. — Hugh S John son denied today that the national recovery administration was attempt ing to make business “goosesep” “NRA is in no sense a czardom,” the administrator told a mass meet ing of recovery workers “It is a sort of rules committee where the great coaches of the American industrial and labor teams are collaborating to make a new and fairer game out of business com petition in this country.” Pointing out that the “whole ex periment” is up to the workers and consumers, Johnson said: “There is not a manufacturer or merchant who can live if we workers are not with him—we must help those who help us, or we all go down to gether. “Buy Under Blue Eagle.” “It is up to you to demand the blue eagle. For the consumer there is only one rule and I can say it in 17 words: “Buy under the blue eagle —buy freely and buy now to the limit of your present needs.” “The trouble is plainly and simply that producers have not received enough for their output to enable them to buy it back and keep our farms and factories going. “That is the reason for unemploy ment and falling business, exhausted savings and abandoned homes. That is the reason, and until that reason is reversed, there isn’t going to be any recovery. "Pipe Dream Prosperity”. “There is no use in pointing back at the 1928 boom and saying that prosperity is possible without change —God save us from any more pros perity of that pipe dream substance. “The smoky dream was built on an , expanding export trade which we got by lending busted foreign customers lavish billions to buy our goods when I we were already on notice that they could not or would not pay even a portion of other lavish billions they already owed us. “We were giving away both our goods and the money to buy them as fast as ships could carry them across the ocean and then building here a bonfire of hope under our speculative market from the warmth of hot I 0 U ’s “Anybody who wants any more prosperity of that kind is a candidate for some economic Keeley cure. “I have yet to hear our president promise any magic cure for all this or proclaim any certain formula. What, in effect, he has said over and over again is that there are so many good things in this land of ours that there is enough to keep everybody happy if only we spread them more evenly.” LYNCH ONE, ATTEMPT SECOND ' LYNCHING THREE TIMES, IN SCOTTSBORO TRIAL TOWN DECATUR, Ala. — Armed gangs, : following the example set at Tusca loosa, lynched one Negro here Mon day three times attempted to lynch a second.

Knight, Jr , insist the nine innocent Scottsboro boys be brought for a third trial in October James Royal was lynched by the gang Monday night, after Thomas SJrown framed on a charge of attack ing a white woman, was moved from the flimsy jail to Huntsville. The lynchers attempted to storm the jail. When they discovered Brown had been moved to Huntsville, they went there in cars and demanded that he be turn ed over to them In the face of the nation wide protest against the Tus caloosa lynchings, Sheriff Ben Giles was afraid to do this The lynchers departed with a threat that they would return “a thousand strong,’’ though it was doubted whether that many members of the white lynch ruling class could be mustered. They returned a second time, but were again disappointed a3 Sheriff Giles feared to turn Brown over to them In Decatur, the lynchers were per mitted to search the jail, the same one in which the Scottsboro boys were held last April, to prove that Brown had been taken away. At the time of the Scottsboro trial here, the jail was described as one “which could be broken into with a teaspoon,” by authorities. It is used only for Negroes, all white prisoners being taken to Huntsville. Royal was killed while standing on West Street, where Brown had been arrested, with three other Negroes several shots from a shot gun at the A car load of hugs swept by and fired four One charge struck Royal full in the chest.

The N A A C. P letter dealt mostly with the failure of Mr White to tell the whole truth about the condition of the sharecroppers. The writer painted the South as “Utopia for the Darky" since the government is paying cotton farmers to plow under cotton. He stated also that the agreements be tween the owners and the tenants were drawn to protect the owners in the “risky business” of cotton farm ing and that the plantation owners ‘would protect” Negro tenants and see that they got everything coming to them under the agreements. The N A A C P letter called share iropping worse than coolie labor and declared the owners had never pro bated their tenants and fl|rdbably would not start to do so in 1933 Author White asserts that Negroes raise ninety per cent of the cotton in Mississippi and fifty per cant of all :hat is raised in the South, but de spite this, he did not talk to a single S’egro farmer, securing all his in ’ormation about how “happy” how ‘shiftless,” and how “pleasure seek ng” the Negros were from white 3lantation owners who entertained lim on their verandahs One planta ;ion owner told him Negroes were ‘too smart” to put their money in :otton, but let the owners take all :he risk: William L Chenery, editor of Col ier’s, has written the N . A A C ? that the magazine does not desire ;o insult any race and usually refers :o Negroes as colored people, but that Mr White’s article was in the lan guage of the people with whom he talked The editor said also that he mew sharecropping conditions were lot ideal, but that the article was in tended to show only the effect of ths government’s plow under campaign
