COTTON GIN WORKERS
CALLED “FARMERS” TO
DODGE PAY BOOST
New York City—Classification of
62,000 Negro work rs in cotton gins
as agricultural wrokers denies them
any benefit under the NRA. according
fco letters of protest mailed today
from thj National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People to
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A
Wallace and officials of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration
The letters signed by Roy Wilkins,
assistant secretary of the N- A- A- C
P., declared that the work in cotton
gins is highly mechanized and that
the labor in the gins is actually in
dustrial labor and should have NRA
pay- From Sept- 11, 1933 until May
8, 1934, the Association contends, this
labor was reoogmz- xl by the NRA
the AAA, and the National Ginners
Conference as industrial, but on the
latter date th > ginners suddenly chang
ed their minds and passed a resolu
tion stating that gin labor was not
industrial, whereupon their applica
tion for a cod agreement under the
NRA was withdrawn.
The Association also protests a
gains the entering into a marketing
agreement with cotton ginn-Jrs by the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra
tion prior to fixing wage rates for
cottpn gin labor- Cotton gin labor
is now being paid only from seven to
fcjn cents an hour, while small cotton
farmers are at present paying prices
for gin services “based upon wholly
mythical wages alleged u_.ng pa-a
cotton gin laborers ”
The protest closes with the conten
tion that “the recovery of one whole
agricultural section of our country
cannot be effected when so large a
proportion of its producers is not giv
en just consideration in the etting up
of he rcovery machinery.”
Police Probe Brutally

lyn, in the company with a girl friend,
the other nigth, Miss Lucinda Pollard,
pretty eighteen—year old colored girl,
was severely clubbed by Officer Stenz
ler, white, of the 79th precinct, who
declared it was his duty to “drive all
niggers out of the park ” Repeatedly
bsaten about the arms and legs with
the policeman’s night stick, Miss
Pollrd was severely bruised, her
clothing torn and she was forcibly tak
en to th? police station, where she
was incommunicado over night- She
warned by the police to say no

SEND DEATH THREAT
TO LYNCH WITNESSES
N- A- A- C- P- Urges Post Office to

N w Yory City—Fearing further
testimony by Negro witnesses of the ;
lynching on July 4, 1933 of Norris
Dendy at Clinton S- C-. at the forth- j
coming hearing of the grand jury,
persons evid fntly implicated in thd '
mob murder mailed from Woodruff j

of the unsigned letter was drawn a

The National Association for che
Advancement of Colored People,
which has been actively ;ngaged in
prosecuting the lynch _trs, has sub
mitted phctostatic copies of the lynch
letter to the Chief Inspector of the
Postoffio Department, Washington,
D- C-, urging him to locate and pro
secute the sender of the anonymous
letter. The Attorney Gen fa* of
South Carolina has also been sent a
photostatie copy of the death message
as evidence of the danger facing the
witnesses. Ha has been asked the
exact date of the June sitting of the
Laurens County grand jury, what
further efforts the stab:- is making
toward pressing action against the
lynchers and what extra precautions
will be taken to protect tho winesses
if they are returned to the state to
testify
In a telagram to Governor Ibra C
Blackwood of South Carolina, Walter
White, secretary of the N. A- A. C- P-,
today asked whether Laurens County
grand jury will meet on June 11 to
consider the Dendy case, whether the
jury will require the presence of Mr
Mims as a witness and if so whether
his safety will be guaranteed by the
governor
At the grand jury meeting on Feb
ruary 19, 1934, Miss Peak and two
other witnesses submitted testimony
idenifying several well known citti
zens of Clinton, including two police
officers, as the lyncchers of Dendy

METCALFE RUNNING
FOR GOVERNORSHIP
Revision of Nebraska tax laws
along cors,vuc.tive r n d equitable
lines will be one of the most import
ant tasks confiovting the next gov

Levin, president of the Young Voters
League for Metcalfe for Governor, j
said at a meeting of the league at the
Rome hotel Tuesday night
The tax bill, known as House Roll ,
No- 9, which provides for a tax bill
on credit accounts of business and :
professional men and women, drew
the particular fire of Levin- He char- :
acterized this law as impossible of i
enforcement.
“There is real work to be n Neb
raska on taxation,” he said- “The
most practical form of relief is to be
found in a reduction of the cost of
government through the elimination
of jobs which have been created for
purely political purposes-”
He declared that Metcalfe could be
depended upon to follow such a pro

The- next major activity of govern

heavy industries — which normally
provide the bulk of employment,
■were hit hardest by depri ssion. and
have been the most lethargic in re
cevl ring from it. And the first step
in doing that will be to unloose cap
ital for home4>uilding and repairing,
through Federal guarantees of mor
tgages Mr. Roosevelt has rent a spe
cal message to Congress to expedite
such legislation.
Experts .stimate that it is possible
to unloose to the tune of $1,500,000,
000 or more in this manner. That
money would go to painters, carpen
ters, masons, plumbums, contractors
It would buy cement, steel, paint
lumber roofng, electric fixtures- It
would pass through a hundred gr,.<at
industries, creating jobs and oppor
tunities as it went- It doesn’t take
