Contractors To Submit
Raising Paw Of LabOrerS
Agent Of Contractors Admits Negroes Have Been Working
About IL Hours Daily for approximately" 1870 an
Hour; N. A. A. c. F. Asks To Examine Code.

Washington, Augustine contract
ors working on the Mississippi river
levees have finally admitted practic-
ally all the charges Of exploitation Of
Negro labor made by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People and have prepared a
code under the National Recovery
Act which will shorten the working
week and aise the pay of workers.
Fred Beneke, agent Of the Mississ-
ippi Vally branch of the Associated
General Contractors, said here last
week that a code will be submitted
to General Hugh Johnson. NRA ad-
ministrator, providing for a so hour
week for unskilled labor and a min
imum pay scale of 80 cents an hour.
There are about 10000 Negro un-
skilled workmen now on the levees.
Beneke admitted that the men
have been working "about" IL hours
a day for approximately" $1.50 a
day, or 1914 cents an hour.
AS a matter Of fact, the men have
been working N and "a hours weekly
for many contractors who either work
a wen day week, IL hours a day or
a seven day week, IL hours a day.
In some counties in Mississippi, Sun
day work is prohibited and in them
Sc and 72 hour weeks have been work
ed.
The NAACP. has charged that
Negro workers average 10 cents an
hour "book" wages and actually re-
ceive in cash 5 cents an hour OF less.
Beneke is said to have conferred with
Senator Hugh Stephens of Mississ-
ippi and to have told him that all
complaints about labor conditions
will be corrected in the code. Senator
Stephens is one Of the three senator's
named to investigate conditions on
the levee. Senator Wagner, chair
man Of the committee, is in Europe.
The NAACP. has charged the con-
tractors with starvation pay, long
hours, ~unsanitary camp conditions,
camp commissary systems which rob
the workers by charging exorbitant
prices, and brutality.
A study of the contractors code
will be made by the NAACP. in order
to see that all evils are corrected, es-
pecially the camp commissary sys-
TENS which often take away one half
the pay of the workers.
1.-THE NAACP. has wired General
Johnson asking the privilege OF
studying the code submitted by the
contractors" said Roy Wilkins, assist
ant secretary, who visited fifteen Of
the levee camps last December in the
garb Of a laborer. "We do not intend
to let up in our fight until the ex-
plotted black workers get a square
deal from the contractors working for
the United States government. Tha
contractors have rushed up with this
code to prevent the senatorial investi-
cation which was sure to reveal the
most shameful conditions Of "coolie"
labor on work for the government it
self. If the code ~corrects the condi-
lions. well and good; If it does not.
we shall continue to fight"

FACTS VS.. FICTION

That the cry of cheap money COM
petition" does not stand up seems to be
evidenced by comparison of the figures
of our export and import trade with Great
Britain, our best customer, for the year
1880, when Great Britain was on the gold
standard, and 1881, when the English ma
ton left the gold standard and adopted
cheap money
In 1880 our imports from Great
Britain were $4,000, 900 and our exports
to her were S678, O0O,0OO In 1881, our
imports were $135, 500, 900 and our ex-
ports $455, 100000 Great Britain was off
the gold standard for only three months of
1881. The imports from France in
1921 were Sal, 100000 while in 1881
they were $79,2Oo,OO0.
Germany in 1924 exported to us goods
to the value of $8O,3OO,00O, which has in
creased to 1927, 100000 in 1881, but Ger
man goods were unpopular with us right
after the war.
Canada sold us goods to the value of
1886, 100000 in 1921 and only $3.50, 000,-
900 in 1881
Japan sold us goods to the value of
1851, 100000 in 1921 and only $2O5,,4OO.-
900 in the year 1881.

INDUSTRIES WANTED

What our country and the entire
world needs at the present time is sem
sible distribution of labor. We need new
industries in which may be employed our
surplus labor. The brewing industry,
which will be brought to life again as soon
as congress passes the needed legislation,
will provide field of employment that
will be a great help. We need num-
Der of new industries to take up the labor
slack. s.s 49,.
AS soon as we have found work for
our idle hands and they begin creating
things which can be exchanged, through
the medium of trade, for the surplus
quantities of agricultural products and
manufactures we have on hand, the coun-
try will begin to get back to prosperity
again.
There are signs that the new dis
tribution Of labor is in progress and its re-
suit should be felt in better business. Our
people can consume our SURPRISES as soon
as the people can get at them. At the
present time everybody is economizing
and the result is a business stagnation that
will be hard to overcome. The farm al
lotment bill looks like good thing and
the reduction of interest and the extension
of loans is another. Loans by the govern
ment to our farmers, if they can be ar
ranged, will also be a great help. Cir
culation is what the country needs. There
is reason to believe that the incoming
Roosevelt administration win find a way
to get it.
