Tersely Told
Cotton Pickers' Wage
One Dollar a Day

NEW ORLEANS, La.-(ANP)-
Men and women should beware of
the advertisements for cotton pick
ers in the South, local business men
declare. The truth is: the South is
overrun with idle men and women,
both white and colored. The cotton
pickers are offered starvation wages
and at the end of the season. with
the aid of the community stores on
all plantations, the unfortunates find
themselves in debt to their employ
ers.
The average wage made, even by
an expert cotton picker, is less than
a dollar a day, out of which he or
she is expected to board and lodge
themselves. The open shop division
of the manufacturers association is
broadcasting the ''help wanted plea"
when in reality charity is caring for
many in this section.

Klan Publication Says Al. Smith Believes
In Equality Between Blacks and Whites

Young bucks are allowed to lounge

who passes that way. Nor do they
hesitate to make eyes at the more
attractive specimens and to revile
them with lewd remarks If they re-
sent their approaches.

Black and Tan
In the black and tan joints, which
Tammany permits to run wide open,
white prostitutes dance and get
drunk with these same Negroes, and
later in the night entertain them in
their private quarters. Sometimes
within the same hour, these white
women, having had their fill of their
dusky playmates will accept the am
orous attentions of white man, per-
haps of respectable family, but toe
drunk to realize the depths Of his de.
graduation. Tammany has always
looked with an indulgent eye on such
diversions as these. In fact, only Q
fanatical reformer could object tc
such harmless pastimes. BY these
means. moreover, it hopes finally t.
annex the Negro vote throughout the
