C- M. K_JJe and my wife get

So Blue—I have a relative in a
distant city and I am thinking of
writing if I may come and stay
with her for a -while. Would it
be wise ?
Ans: You had better thrash
this thing out with your pa
rents before you become inter
ested. Of course you are twen
ty years old and it is time
for you to get out and make
some start in life, but do you
think enough to ask your pa
rent for their consent. The

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.

A lifetime has passed since it first

cabarets of the country. 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. Yet, when the call is
clear and persistent, he. too, can i
turn out torrid jazZ as he demon

The Curse of Repetition
Repetition is still the curse of
music broadcasting. The public en- !
dures repetition in heaping doses, or
chestras playing the same tunes i
hour after hour, night after night.
And yet, the music publishers are
largely responsible for the overplug
ging, They have believed that con
centrated airing of a new song over
a period of a month or more to a/t
audience of 60,000,000 would bring a
rushing torrent of gold to their sheet
music counters. 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. Even the
complex strains of the clastic com
posers cannot stand nightly repeti
tion. Even a Debussy or a Richard

railways are financially in bad

due to the mismanagement of the
roads and raiding of the treasuries
of these carriers by the banking
interests. Rail workers are being
called upon in this crisis to protect
tho fundamental interest of the
nation’s workers as a whole. A
reduction in pay for rail workers
would be the “green light” for

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.

embodies everything that prdatorv

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

Arkansas more than Mfr. Ray tells’
him. Altogether durirtf the'ili

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

"We have completed a* Motion

Editorial of the Week
(From tho Richmond (Va.) 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?
