NUN 1GOMER1, Ala. SnOckeu
and Inundated by the recent lynch
ing of two Negroes near Tuscaloosa,
outstanding Alabama women have
addressed to Governor B. NJ. Miller
an open letter calling upon him "to
exercise to the limit all constitution
al authority in bringing to trial the
persons who committed this crime"
and pledging loyal support in all eff
forts to that end. simultaneously a

their efforts to bring the guilty to

Among the signers are also two well

The statement issued by the men
was signed by an equally influential
group, and the two, it is believed, may
be taken as fairly representative of
the attitude of the better informed
people of Alabama. The leading
newspapers of the state are Joining
vigorously in the general condemna-
ton Of the recent lynchings and in
the demand that everything possible
be done to apprehend and punish the
l%ynchers. The attorney general of
the state is leading in the investiga-

all in his power to that end. The two
statements follow in full:

The cross erected by MIRA for the
working class of this country already
bears the mangled form of Negro
labor, according to reports pouring in
from every section of the country, of
wholesale dismissals Of Negro work
ers and of the injection Of the color
line into the code for the textile and
other industries.

from employment in the public works

supposed to launch sometime with

day workers are denied any benefits,
according to a letter by President
Roosevelt, which openly repudiated
the gesture of his mother in raising
the wages of her domestic help. In
that letter, broadcast by the boss
press, Roosevelt declared that the
NRA codes do not apply to domestic
help
The following examples from other
parts of the country clearly show
how the NRA is affecting Negro
workers:
In Memphis, Tennessee, the Tri-
State Manufacturing Company dis
charged its colored workers on July
81, the day before the code went into
effect, and hired white in their places.
A Norfolk restaurant, obliged to
raise its minimum wage under the
code, dismissed it's Negro helps and

New York Times of last Sunday,
Harris states.
zone unfortunate phase of govern
ment regulated wages is the injustice
it has worked on the Negro. 1t is
certain that already Negroes are be-
ing displaced by white persons in a
number Of lines. The code for the
southern laundry industry permits a

UTILITY RATES AND COST OF
LIVING

When George B. Cortelyou. Presi-
dent of the Consolidated Gas Company
of New York, recently said that utili-
ty rates had not gone down with the
cost Of living because they had never
risen with it, he was simply stating
what everyone conversant with the
gas and electric industries knows.
From 1913 to 1928 the cost of living
curve followed a sharp ascending
course. Practically everything we
bought-clothes, food, furniture, rent,
amusements = increased in price by
so, 100, 200 per cent. Electric rates
were in direct opposition to the trend.
They went down, with never a rise
each year saw better and cheaper
service than we had enjoyed before.
And this was accomplished inspite of
heavy increases in the cost of things
the utility had to buy-labor, supplies
and so on. The electrical engineers
gradually discovered how to make and
distribute power more efficiently and
economically, and rate reductions
were the result.
Then the crash came and the cos
of living curve reversed its direction
1t went rapidly downward. Utility
rates were unable to follow - ever
though there was a small average
reduction-simply because the gen.
eral cost of living has little influence
on utility costs. The utilities must
provide the same standards of serv-
ice in bad times as in good-througf
regulation they are not allowed tt
accumulate great profits during
booms to compensate for depression
and they have the smallest capital
turnover of any major business. Even
so, at the lowest cost Of living point,
utility rates were lower still in COM
p~arison to the pre- wal level.
Now cost of living is starting up
again. But utility rates, as before, will
! not follow. They win stay down-in
