NEGRO ROBBED AGAIN
By Elizabeth Lawson
(Continued from last Week)
In almost three-quarters of the code
bere are provisions for longer hours
for watcHrrjen, janitors, repair and
maintenance crews. In other codes
there are jobs with sub-minimum
rates—porters in the m otor-bus in
dustiry drivers’ helpers in the ice in
dustry', service work in the hotels.
Mostly Negroes—of course!
Here’s another thing- You know
that when election time rolls around
they’ve got a little way, in the South
tp keep the black man from voting
and let the white rrarj in on it just the
same. .?t’s called a grandfather
clause. Tf your white man—you ca
vote now.
An Old Trick in A New Deal
They’ve got an h'OT'^mJ'c Wrand
father clause in the NRA too. A lo
of /-M's sav that i* veil get mere
than 30 rents an hour in July, 1929.—■
that is before the big smash up—you
are to 40 cents an hour now. If
you got less than 30 cents then, you
don’t have to get 30 cents now. Who
got less than 30 cents an hour in 1929
That’s right—you guessed it the firs |
time.
With all that, a lot of manufact
urers in. the South aren’t satisfie
with skinning the Negro workers by
the lower scales for the South, and the
economic grandfather clauses, and the
exemption previsions and all the rest
They want lower wages for Negroes
-—as Negroes—not on'v in fae* but
■writUfn right into the law. J. F

Ames, a textile manufacturer in Selma
Ala-, has been running around th
county with petitions for a “Special
Code for Sub Normal Labor.” This
code would apply to “white people
who are old, young or infirm in any
way, and would also apply to the
colored race.”
TMs id»a of Ames has a lot cf
backing from the big business men
peeially in f ie South, and plenty o
people besides Ames have asked Wash
ington to let them pay their Negr
wfrkeri? less than whited for the
same jobs. The Hardie-Tynes Man
ufacturing Co. of Birmingham, fer
instance. And lots of others.
They Stop at Nothing
Some people who don’t realize tha
the government’s policy is the policy;
of the big bosses, thought the NRA
wouldn’t go that far, surely. But jus
as we are writing these artcles, w
pick up the newspaper and what do
we see?
“Permission to pay Ie8fl than
the code minimum for the industry
has been granted to the Central
Spinning and Weaving Co- of Fay
ettesville by the Silk Code Auth
ority. The company employs 300
Negro workers.
Mr. Ames says he wants the “sub
normal” code so as to “give the co’
ored race a fair chance employ
ment.” Yes and the hi jacker grabs
your dough because he’s afraid you’ll
spend it rashly and do yourself harm
When we have to look to Mr. Ames
and the likes of—Mr. Ames for sym
pa thy and help, we 11 be in a bad way
A lot of Negro workers don’t have
to worry about code provisions any
more, because they’re pounding pave
ments and there’s no code for th^t
When the Blue Eagle flew in the wind
ow of a great many businesses, a
lot of Negroes had to do double-quick
out the back door. The Tri-City Man
ufacturing Co. Joi Memphis, Tenn.
fired 14 Negro workers the day be
fore the code went into effect, and
got white workers in their places. In
one county in Georgia, 300 Negroe
who had been getting all of 50 cents
a day on public works were fired
when the NRA put up a wage-scale
of thirty cents an hour. Eight hun

The unique performance of Duke

Refusal of the British ministry to
grant labor permits has upset plans
for a return to Europe of the orch.es
tra this fall, and at the conclusio

She report to the delegates of the

hope still remains that the govern

cerns labor, may with great effort
be made to work.
‘Our 54th convention,” theexecu

about the bush “find the year's pro
gress toward recovery falling far short
of what we had hoped .The
failure of government effort to prime
the pump leaves us agan face to face

must be done.
Ihe something- to be done is stated
to be • planning “for a future when

create a new Standard of living-” i
This is not to be ■ done on the class- I

THE intense heat of summer made
many householders consider hav
ing awnings for windows which have
heeD left unprotected hitherto. From
the standpoint of economy, now is a
good time to do this work since there
are excellent opportunities to buy
awnings, ready to put up, at decided
reductions, and awning cloth very
specially priced. By having the win
dows done now, rbe awnings will be
ready for next year as soon as the
beat of the sun and Ibe glare becomes
uncomfortably strong, it is a for
tunate replacement time—if you get
advance'Styles.
Awnings uot only reduce the tem
perature of rooms, arid soften the light
"but they go far toward dressing up tiie
outside of the house. There is a ten
dency in newest styles to have this
ornamental element featured for the
tuside of the rooms as well as the ex
terior of the house. To promote this,
huge flowers, or (lowers and foliage
*re painted on the under side of the
awnings. Birds and butterflies lend
themselves admirably to this decora
tion as they might actually he flying
j rul fluttering about outside the win
dow. They are gay little creatures,
t _
I——
1 both In color and character, and strike,
a happy note in decoration. It Is wellj
to remember this type of awning when
taking advantage of tate summertime
buying.
Fringes Featured.
Another feature to hold in mind is
that fringe is the smartest finish for
valances. White fringe is in high
flavor even though there may be no
touch of white in the awning cloth.
Tiie decided contrast accents the
style. Or it may be that the awning
cloth is in one plain color and a geo
metrical design or just a broad line of
white forms a border for the finished
awning. The border may or may not
be repeated about the valance. The
fringe takes up the color harmony
when it edges the awning. While
white is the favorite color for fringe,
other colored fringes are used, some
times matching some stripe or color in
; the cloth, and again being in marked
^ contrast, in which case the style of
■ border or hand of the fringe-color on
1 a plain color of cloth is usually fol
* lowed.
It is a good time now to replace
worn awnings instead of waiting for
another year. If yon follow the ad
vance styles of this season, you will
find the awnings in the height of fash
ion next year. The awning problems
will all hhve been solved and the awn-1
fugs ready to be put up when next'
summer conies, and you will have
saved money by this out-of-season buy
ing.
