has gained momentum during the

statement setting forth the increase
of Negro employees by the govern

in carrying on the work of the gov

Worries Mount

After Big Fight

NEW YORK. - Between his re-
cent Questionable defeat for the
lightweight championship at the
hand of Tony Canzoneri in New
York and the recent charges brought
against him by Senorita Mora Rosa.
his former sweetheart. Kid Choeo-
late, sensational battler in the fistic
arena. appears to be in quandary
and apparently does not know what
the next bit of bad luck for him will
be.
The charges of assault against
the boxer were filed several months
ago but by maneuvering on the
part of the "Keed's" manager, the
authorities did not begin extradi-
ton proceedings against the boxer
until few DAYS before the bout.
However, since the fight very little
has been seen of the runner-up
champ as. it is believed that extra
dition and trial for attack in Ha-
vana would utterly ruin Chocolate S
pugilistic career.
Right now the fight fans in New
York are said to be smarting under
the verdict given last week in favor
of Canzoneri. They not only claim
that Canzoneri was allowed to GO
in the ring overweight. but that Kid
Chocolate actually won draw with
the little Italian, but for the appar-
emit reluctant decision of one Of the
Judges. The crowd booed, not at the
fighters because they fought great
close fight, but they booed what they
termed raw and highly unjust
verdict.

Rural Teachers
In Va. Paid Only
SIS Per Month

RICHMOND. Ya.-Colored school
teachers in four of the leading insti-
tutions of Virginia have signed a
petition asking for higher salary
scale for state teachers, following
revelations that some teachers re-
eeiyed as little as $S5 and $40 a
month last session. while in one
county at least, teachers were not
paid in full.
A check-up last week revealed
that $50 teachers have signed and
that a possible 100 more will be re-
ported in the near future. There are
$500 teachers in the state.
The salary committee is making a
study of the salary scales of teach
ers in the various counties of Vir-
ginia A study is also being made of
salary scales in other southern
states as a basis for comparing the
salary situation in Virginia with
that of other sections of the South.
Already, however, a number of lead
ing editors and educational workers
have expressed to the committee
their approval of it's efforts to secure
a higher salary scale.
They have conceded the justice oil
and necessity for a higher salary for
rural teachers, especially many OF
whom were not paid enough last
year to attend summer school after
supplying themselves with the bare
necessities of life.

$4,000 HOLD FEDERAL JOBS
Job Competition
Causes Friction
Between Races

NEW YORK.=The National Ur-
ban League, through its Department
of Industrial Relations of which T.
Arnold Hill is Director, has issued
the following account of recent de-
velopments in employment.
As the battle for Jobs continues
between colored and white workers
there is evidence of new irritations
centering around labor union HOSTILE
ties and the dismissal of Negro work
ers whose places have been taken by
whites. The political issue was
brought to the front in Warren,
Ohio, when the employment of six
Negroes on a retaining wall built
by the city was objected to by OPP
penents of the city administration
who demanded thai voters favor
somebody who would give white
folks some work" The city admins
tration was re .eleeted, however.
Labor Disputes
The outstanding controversy with
organized labor is in Boston where
Negro strike-breakers have been en-
gagged on the docks as longshoremen.
Incidentally, this has occasioned a
movement to the city of persons
looking for work of this character.
In Lexington, Kentucky, importation
of Negro mechanics from North Car
DINA who are working for less than
local white men, may be the begin
ming of difficulties for Negro build
ing tradesmen who have been accus-
toned to work in all branches of the
industry throughout the city. The
organization of local of Negro as
phalt workers in st. Paul, Mime
sofa, has caused dispute over the
proverbial question of the use of Ne
gro workers on the same jobs with
white workers. Consideration is be-
ing given in Minneapolis to further
unionization of Negro labor, the mi
tiative apparently coming from with
in the group itself.
Whites Supplant Negroes
Contrary to their former custom
employers who discharge Negroes
and turn their places over to whites
are now offering excuses for so do
ing. Thus, in Austin, Texas, jobbine
houses claim that they find it more
profitable Ito. use whites to deliver
their goods because of the time con.
sumed by Negro workers going tc

Guilty OF Stealing
War Veterans Checks

NORFOLK, Va.-Monkeying with
Uncle Sans checks and pocketing
the money sent to soldiers as bonus,
brought Henry William Harrison,
one-time adiutant of an American
Legion post, into U. S. court last
week. A jury deliberated six hours
before finding him guilty.
Harrison forged two loans on adj
justed service certificates, one
amounting to $4,000 and the other
to S487.50.
The testimony brought out that
when the Congress passed the bill
making it possible for ex-service men
to secure loans on their service GER
tificates, Harrison became a notary
public and went out "helping" the
ex-soldiers to file their applications
for the loans. For this service he
charged fee of $1,000 each.
