Johnson UESTION Of WAGE JIEDUC TIONS June 28 is the date set by the carriers’ joint conference committ ee wherein they have requested a similar committee representing 19 Labor organizations to meet with them at Chicago for the pur pose of discussing the carriers na.t ional request on rail employees for a fifteen per cent reduction. Th* original request of the carriers in dicated their intention or reducing all rates of compensation, arbitra ges, and other allowances fifteen per cent, effective July 1. No such reduction will be put to effect on that da,te in view of the provisions cf the Railway Labor Act which makes it mandatory for certain' mechanics of proccedure to be en gaged in before any change at all can be made. •Dining Car employees acting nationally through the Joint Coun cil of Dining Car Employee Unions have invited carriers notice on Din ing Car Employee Unions to meet them r.t, Chicago on a national basis for the purpose of handling the question to a conclusion.

It swept across the nation With the force of a cyclone. Feature writers interpreted prominent citizens on the perils of ragtime and Berlin was considered everything from a menace to a genius. With ragtime now spelled as jazz and swing, Berlin confines his acti vities chiefly to blue skies and melo dics that linger on, leaving the hot i stuff to others.

Witness the recent pop ularity of “There's a Gold Mine in the Sky," “On the Sunny Side of the Rockies” and “When the Organ Played 0 Promise Me.” This type of song stems, of course, to the late Charles K. Harris and his “After the Ball,” which was a tremendous hit for more than a generation. Harris who had unusual talent for t?i»s style of number, followed up his great hit with other successful ballads which, along with “After The Ball" are occasionally revived —“Hello Central, Give He Heaven,” “Always in the Way,” “Break the Jfews to Motherand "Somewhere the Sun h Shining.” , The old ragtime tunei that flour ished tchen Theodore the First sat upon the White House' throne are seldom heard today.

They did not reckon upon the effect of the constant airing. No listener can endure a persis tent dinning of a ditty. He quickly becomes fed uj>—fed up in most cases in less than a month.

RAIL LABOR WINS NEW LEG ISLATIVE VICTORY Oorgaized iRail Labor worn a smashing victory for railroad work ers when Congress ignored the propaganda of carriers’ lobby not to pass the Rail Job Insurance bill. Under ,the provisions of the new act just passed by Congress, rail way workers will come under a Federal Unemployment Insurance Act. Heretofore they have been un der the various S.tate Acts, and in no instance are any two State laws similiar. In order to protect the in terest of rail workers it was nec essary for the Federal law to be passed. The Federal Unemployment Insurance Act provides many fea tures superior to those embodied ’ in the State laws, particularly as to benefits of low paid Workers. The Federal law provides for a unemployment payment to employ ees in the low pay brackets against those in the higher brackets. Un employment anraunities start in at $1.75 per day graduating to $3 per day. Very signifiant the Federal law does not require any contri bution from the employees as re quired under the Staite law. The California law requires employees to contribute 90-100 of every dollar or ninety cents upon the hundred. ] Vicious Anti-Labor Petition Ilieng | Circulated Under the dignified name of “The Women of the Pacific,” an organization supposedly interest ed in Industrial Peace, this group is circulating a vicious anti-Labor net.ition for the nurpose of killing Labor Unions. The law was draft ed by Attorney-General U. S. Webb State of California, and embodies everything that prdatorv interests, repct.ionfcry business and the vicous merchant manufactur ers’ association can desire- The law purports txr provide for a La ihor Commissioner to be appoint ed by the State whose business it will be to pry Into the affairs bl all Labor Unions, say who can or can not become members of ypchrUrtion regulate, tjm affairs of the .vrgflqization to the extent that jit would strtmrdafr their Bad Gas Nerv _ and Guaranteed Treatment, $1.90 Postpaid.

Certainly the State of Califor nia doea not require t.ho incorpora tion of any business concern, nor does tho state attempt to regulate these businesses except as the !\\w requires under certain types cf inveetments. Moreover employers and corporation do not permit nor does tho law require, that they open their books—financial or a record of transaction!*—to employ- i ees or to the public for inspection. It seems that if the reactionaries are sicere in tholr desire f r In du ttria.l peace they would not continue to be one-sided about the matter. This so-called referendum petition, putting the question! on the ballot is dangerous; will ham string later killing l.abor Unions;* and is the first, toward bringing, Industrial Fascism !to Aimerica f such as is known in Italy and Germany today. labor Union** as they are now operated and formed f are the bulwarks protecting 1 De-j moeracy in America.

See Effort To .Curb Extension Work . Among Negroes. ! Washington, June "0 (AN!’) j Recent developments ndicnte that Negro county extension ager/ts 1 throughout the nation face demo tion or s», curtailment of their net ivites, it was learned here Inst week. Extension leaders through out the nation are viewing with alarm what they consider n.m at tempt to discredit Negro leader ship. To further complicate matters. Dr. J. II. Watson, president of Arkansas Shite college, has re cently written a letter to Dr. C. W. Warburton, of the Unted States Department of Agriculture, Crit icing the work in general of dis strct, state and county agents, | among them J. B. Pierce, one or the two colored supervisors in the j 15 southern states. This letter is expected to hasten the change in status of extension agents, and already a white man lias named j supervisee of Negro eoctension work in Arkansas, replacing H. C. Rny. T. M. Campbell of luskcgee is the only Negro distrct supervisor boisdes Pierce in the entire south ern region. The set-currently calls Negro state and county leadcs. Hut there is nmovoracnt. protest ed by colored groups to put Negro extension work in counties under the white county agent to the ex tent that the Negro ought to be responsible to the white agent The extension service was organ ized to aid the rural and farmpop ulation. Agents visit each farm to givel a<’vi.'e and demi nitrations on the properwa y and latest me thods of caring for crops, live stock, of improvng farm homes and land, preserving food, etc., as well as giving personal advice They have organized meetings and farm associations enabling agri culturists to cooperate. Through thert effors, many farmers have grown bigger and better crops on the same land, conserved the soil by crop rotation, modernized their homes and saved money. Ill some states Negro agents work under supervision of the state’s Negro land-grant college. Mr. Campbell introduced an in novation at Tuskegee that has proved of great benefit to Ala bama farmers: the moveable school At prearranged sites, pcighbor ing farmers have gathered for demonstrations of canning and preserving of food, improving sanitation and appearances of homes at low cost, and similar porblems affecting agricultural ureas. This school idea is gradual ly coming into wider use through out the South and has been high ly praised by both white and col ored. ...... In addition to the belief ttvfti a change in the extension set-up would do a way with progressive work, leaders say also white su pervisors in the prejudice-rioden South would not be disposed to give more than the. barest mini mum of help to colored farmers and would not v,t all bo in a poa- i ition to understand or work sym pathetically toward solving the peculiar problems of the Negro rural population. In his letter to Dr. Warburton, Dr. Watson declared he had lived all his life in the South except for four years when he attended college in the North, and had own ed ft farm since 1904, then askcn: “Why thfe district * extension agent? Why the county agent? Altogether they have very . little if any influence over the farm prcblen) and participate in it nt ft minithum. Arkansas is in *Mr. Pierco’a district, Mr. Prirce'apfodp; probably five or sj« day* in arucs.s. He knows nothing about Arkansas more than Mfr. Ray tells’ him. Altogether durirtf the'ili months Mr Rr>.y has practical!* no conUfrfltJfrG iii-i#ht>fti'«Slith the farmers of this state. He can net have. His prog*.m practically s handed to him. He has nine a gonts, nearly aW the money is spent on and by white citizens. Th« county agents have ri> in fluence over the county in whicb they work. They do what they get . chancre to do which, in moet part, is very little. I venture the i nsertion that there are not a doaten farmers in Arkanss that have better crops, better livestock end a better outlook on farming because etf the extension nrogni.m. “I believe the energy of the Ex tension !>epartment is employed almost wholly with academic dis cussions end conferences, conven t'oru, and the publishing of liter ature that not one farmer out of a hundred ever hears about. The Extension plan Smith-Hughes De partment, I believe, should be r.xked by Congress to show rea sons fer their grant expenitures. “I believe the Negro work could be made to function better if th<* Negro land grant colleges could be given ft larger part of its su pervson. I should net insist oa the handling of the money, only th?i.t wo should have a larger share.in selection of persKmnel-and of yu pervfsior,i.” In his reply to the college pr s ident, Dr. Warburton said, "Yc ur letter is very disturbing to m| I hr.vo rend many reports' on t le work of Negro extension a1gc*i1ts and talked with many people wjio have bad opportunity to observe it, and have seen something my self. From those eont?cJs,,l, have developed a much wore favorable opinion than i^ expressed in your letter "We have completed a* Motion picture on Negro Externi'n work showing a large number of Hlustr e,tons of the work actually in pro gress, which I think carries strong evidence of its value.

Times Dispatch, June 6, 1938) Sacred Stales’ Rights It was only a few month ago that statesmen from Dixie made tho Senate rafters vibrate in Washington with impassioned ap peals for •the preserve tipn of StB.to’s right, when it was sugges ted that Federal G-men he allowed to get evidence on lacol sheriffs and their deputies who allow lynchings to occur in their juris diction. This, the statesmen said, would be a gross violation of the sacred rights of our soverign Commonwealths. But these same zealous guar dians have been ns silent b,s an army of clams while Federal G men scour Florida “snake coun try” in search of the criminal wKo kidnaped little 6-year-old James B. Cash Jr. Yet J. Edgar Hoover is person ally in command of a squadron of G-men, who are actually treading the sacred soil of a soverign Com monwealth, in search of a crimi nal! Will our guardians of States* rights allow this horrible trans gression to pass unipoticed? Or are we to conclude that the hallow ed rights of the States are to be respected only when lynchers are involved, but ignored when m kidnaping takes place? FOR SALB—M arm on 5 Pass.
