MIRACLE STUFF

The New Deal like the Lord
movies in a mysterious way its won
ders to perform. One OF the latest
miracle moves is that by which its
blessings have been bestowed on
Southern planters who wax fat by
paying starvation wages to those
who do useful work OF tending the
cotton crops An edict from Relief
Car Harry l.. Hopkins has Just
made II legal to pay less than a
predetermined minimum wage 10
FERA employees.
Way back In the good old days
when the New Deal was being sold
to the American workers, Mr.. Hop
kins issued an order setting a
minimum wage on relief projects
lat 30 cents an hour. Naturally
enough the Southern plantation
wage workers who had been scrap
ing along on five and six cents an
hour refused those wages. They
simply stood on their rights and
got on FERA rolls where they got
tile 30 cent minimum. From the be-
ginning, Southern moguls protest
ed. Mr.. Hopkins was indignant. He
spluttered He fumed. He ranted
and roared about decency and the
American standard OF living. The
elections were In the future. And
the minimum stayed.
And then came the elections,

believed the spell-binders and huge
Democratic majorities were re-
turned. After the contest Mr..
Roosevelt betook himself to the

ors began to call on him. And he
saw the light. Rather he felt Sc

AS result Mr.. Hopkins-he of
the roaring voice--lifted the mini
mum ban Now all is we'll down in

their workers back on the planta-
tions at the same old scale. In fact,
everything is better--for the
boss than ever before. For not
only are wage scales back to
normal. but the cost OF living ID
higher.
OF course. Southern Negroes will
| be hardest hit by this sleight-of-
hand performance But Il Will have
important results for both South
ern whites and Northern workers
OF all colors. The Southern whites
Will either have TO take lower
wages or have their places filled

The Roosevelt administration is
