COMPLAINS COTTON FARM - OWNERS DISMISS THEM 1C AVOID SHARING CHECKS Washington, (CNS) July 11, — Complaints are pouring into the Agrieultn-al Adjustment Adminis trative offiec here charging that cot.on farm owners are dismissing them to avoid sharing Federal crop -eduction checks A belated awakening to tie ser iousness of the situation in the South has caused those charged with trimming cotton production from 12,100,000 bales last year to le:it than 10,000,000 this year, to grow alarmed. The alarm grows • it of the possibility that the pro gram might—if it has not already done so—set in 'm*ot:on a boomer ang in the form of wholesale un employment due to the question able conduct of greedy land own ers, and the general inequitable operations of the reduc.ion pro gram. Protests pour in from disposs essed tenants despite safeguards incorporated in acreage contracts between AAA and producers. Re ’—-iial steps were immediately launched on several fronts. Ilives.

The resolution was drafted at the request of the New York Con gressman by John P- Davis, of the Joint Committee on National Recovery. It is cast in sweeping term|s and codes for an investiga tion not only of the labor provi sions of the codes of fair compe tition formulated by the National Recovery Administration but as well for an investigation of the compliance machinery of the NRA and the Labor and Consumers’ Advisory Board of that govern ment agency. While passage of the resolution may be in doubt, a hearing before a House of Representatives Com mittee seems almofet certain with General Hufch S. Jc^rson, Ad ministrator of the NRA forced to face openly the charges of unfair discrimination against Negrc workers in the codes drawn under his direction. The fact that it was introduced by a Democratic Congressman, who has beer staunch supporter of New' De,al po licies will make it all the more embarrassing for the administra tion to ignore the resolution. Com ing as it did at a time when there is open revolt against the NR.4 in both houses of Congress, the introduction of the resolution serv ed ag a master strolke to draw the attention of the nation to the plight of Negro industrial work ers, more than two millio* of whon are estimated te be either unem ployed or discriminated againrt despite the promise of the NRA ,-.o create employment and “decent living wages.” A hearing on the Celler re olu i lion would bring into the spot j light such NRA officials as Gen c -a! Johnson, Dr, Leo Wolman ot tha Labor A,lvi«orv Board, Mary Rumsey oU tie Consumers’ Ad visory Board and National Com pliance Dire-item William H Davis. Heretofore these prominent “New DeaJeiL” have remaned uncom rmmk-a/tive on the problems of Negro workers under the NRA. I When called before the House Committee they are most certain to be faced with the embarrassing nuestions of why they have allow ed $6.00 ,a week wages in such, in dustries as the laundry' industry and others in those sections where tho predominant labor supply is Negro, while insisting for much higher wages for white .workers. Packers Accused •,of Plotting Race Riots Chicago, July 13 (CNA)~—Negro and white officials of the Pack inghouse Organizing Committee, CIO, this week charged that ‘ cer , tain AFL officials” were seeking to enlist unemployed Negro work ers as strikebreakers in the event of a strike at the plan', of Armour and Company. The CIO leaders said that names of over 2,000 job less Negroes had been obtained by officers of a former company union which is now in the AFL. Fear that the packers were seeking to "duplicate the race riots whipped up in the past by the packers to defeat organization atte.ripts,” was expressed by Her bert March, district director of the PWOC. “But it won’t work,” declared March, “because of the thousands of Negroes in our unions who have learnecj how to defeat the packing trust’s scheme of divide and rule through solidarity.” —-o Oo——■-— U.S. Fascists Plan ned to Use Race Issue in Plot to Seize Government * ’ Washington, July 10 (CNA)— A startling conspiracy to set up a fascist dictatorship in the Uni ted States, with all that it im plies in the legalizing ot race na tred and jim crow oppression, has been stmubled upon by Congress ! man Martin Dies, Texan head of the Hov| e Committee on un-Atrer ! ican activities, and he is attempt ing to Shroud the plot behind a ! maze of fake dramatics. This was the unanimous belief of the New Dealers here this week as details of the testimony before the Dies Committee was made public. Testimony to date revealed the following facts, which were pre sented to the country in jumbled and confuted accounts by the Tex an: 1. Mayor Gen. George Van Horn Mosely, a former U S. Army of ficial, secured the financial back ing of Dudley Pierpont Gilbert New York millionaire, for an an ti-Semitic, fascist organization to fight a fabulous “revolution” which evidently was more specifi cally identified as the New Deal. 2. The Retired army officer decided on establishment of gen eral headquarters for the group in Atlanta, Ga., home of the Ku Klux Klan, to prepare a campaign “to save America from itself” by forcibly taking over the govern ment and suppressing the demo cratic rights of the American peo ple. It wajs to be a propaganda groups that could be swiftly turn ed into a military group. 3. The fascist conspiracy was to be based on the backward South, with a “retreat” in Kentucky from which the campaign could be di rected as well as general head quarters in Atlanta. The conspiracy was to be fur thered by a whispering campaign against President and Mrs. Roose velt on the balds of their friend ship for the Negro people, parti cularly in connection with Mrs. Roosevelt's open championship of Negro rights upon many occasion. 4. The conspirators have allies in high government circles from which Mosely secured advance , information on vital federal plans which was sent to a list of 40 con , fidents> many of whom were American Legion officials and re ired army officers. 6. Leaders of the plot banked on ictdvo support free leading Ke pufbdicaroj nnd reactionary clique in control of the American Federa tion of Ijabor. John D. Hamilton, chairman of the Republican Na tional Cbmmit.ee, was in corres pondence with one of the fascist plotters. The group rece ved support from several millionaires in addition to Gilbert. Howland Spencer, bitter foe of President Roosevelt who made a "spue sale” of his Krum Elbow , property, adjoining the Roosevelt’s home at Hyde Park, to Father Divine, was one of the an gels of the fascist conspirators. In addition to General Mostly, New Deal foe, the chief figures in the conspiracy were: George Deathrage, St Albans, W. Va., chief of the Knights of the White C?amelias, a fascist or ganization.

A good example of this is the scuttling of the relief appropriations, and the slaughter of the Federal theatre and arts projects by the Woodrum Com' mittee.” Pointing to the growing infel ligcnee and independence of the Negro vote, representing as i does a potential balance of powr in 17 states, which represents 281 electoral votes, will play impoi taut and, perhaps the decish role. It is a most unfortunate ar f regrettable that present circun s.ances make it most difficult, if not impossible for any thing N gro to vote for a presidents candidate from the South, howevei decent the candidate may be per sonally. The pressure of environ ’.rent is too great.” Mr. White praised Virginius Dabney and Douglas Freeman, edi.ors of the Richmond Times Dispatch and News-Leader res pectively as leaders in the van guard of the new South who are doing thrir share to bring this section of the country up to a Irgher level of progress. He prais td Oscar tl.apman and Repre sentative Caroline O’Day as native southerners who are showing the way by the part they played in having Marian Anderson sing a', the r.incoln Memorial in Washing ton, u. C. shortly after she was refused permission to sing in the DAJR’s Constitution Hall there. Touching upon the South’s eco nomy, he said: ‘‘The NAAOP is against regi onal differtials of any kind in re lation to the economy of the North and the South. The South will never cease being the nation’s No. 1 economic problem until decern wages are paid all southerners, white and Negro, and until the South puts aside its inferiority complex and is willing to meet competition. There is no difference in the cosit of living as between .he North and South. There is only the difference in the standard of living.” i ne iN/VAor secretary caneu upon Governor Price, who wag j seated on the platform to back ; up, with action the editorial com- j nient of the Richmond, Va., daily | papers, who have said that Miss Aline Black, Norfolk high school’ teacher, should be reinstated in her job. The entire audience ihouted its full approval of this with wild applause. Miss Black was recently refused a renewal of her contract for next year by the Norfolk school board after suing for equalization of white and colored teachers’ sal aries in Virginia. Characterizing the Association’s fight for passage of a federal an ti-lynching bill as a “fight which we will never give up,” he urged his hearers to remember that there is no problem in American life today that can be solved with out understanding the Negro’s re lation to it. SCRAPPING OF WPA THEATRE HITS RACE New York, July 13 (CNA)— Hundreds of Negro Theatrical workers were facing loss of their jobs this week as the Federal Theatre Project ordered closed by provisions of the Woodrum WPA bill, discontinued all its plays. ! Prior to the shut down two hun ! dred Negroes had received dis rnassal notices effectives as of June 30. The effective date <*f the notices has been extended to Oct ober 1, when 7,000 theatre project workers, Negro and white, will be thrown out of employment. The shut-down in New York was merely one phase of the same action throughout the country. It was reported that -about 50 Ne groes were affected by the closing in New Jersey, and that the num ber could be duplicated with vary ing degrees in each city thu^ contained WPA shows. Among ,ne plays closed in New York with fairly laige Negro casts was “Pin occhio.” The play was character ized by George Kendolf, director of the New York division of the Federal Theatre as one of the best, put on by the Federal Agency.. The scrapping of the Theatre was viewed with great distress by leaders of the Harlem community. Many pointed out that besides the economic loss, it meant retar dation of the professional skill of the workers involved. They asser ted that the Project supplied the only opportunity for Negro actors and actresses to display their ta lents, since private enterprises of fer very little chances them. I Fear of loss of jobs was report ed having considerable effect on the morale of the people of Har 'lem. There has been an apprecia ble increase in petty thefts and hold-ups and indication of social' conditions which will result from dismissal from WPA. Small merchants is the com mum} y l^ive repeated sharp drops in their sales during the >as-, few weeks. This was attribut d to fear of loss of purchasing oower. Several revealed that the irop was especially noticeable in rrticles of necessity. Physicians ave also reported increased ina bility of their patients to meet ees for necessary medical ser ices. Apprehension was also felt when the local WPA offices an lounccd that many of its play ground facilities will be sharply curtailed owing to dismissals wHch will have to he made be cause of the provisions of the Woodrum Bill. Several groups have indicated their intention of f’ghting against the effect of the measure. The Negro Arts Committee and the . h.ulem Cultural Conference are planning actions designed to curb the restrictive feature of the bill. Both organizations have an nounced that they will work close ly with other groups in an en deavor to resist the effect of the Woodrum Bill on the Negro peo ple. -0O0 .■.W.V.V.V.V.V.'.V.V.V.W CHOP SUEY Open from 2 p. m. untH 3 a. m.
