!. Mr. Thomas is reported to have
found what he described as the 'for-
gotten man. in the cotton country in
Arkansas. In Poinsett County, Ark
ansas, a typical cotton county Of the /
South, he entered cabin homes. shook
hands with the occupants and talked
with them about their fate under the
Federal crop reduction program.
"Never have | laid eyes on such a
deplorable state Of affairs a. that Of
the share cropperS," he said. "It is a
feudal system, this system under
which the share troopers live on cot

eral agricultural relief program has
overlooked the little man, the man
most in need. As cotton acreage is re-
duced, fewer share troopers are

Poinsett County has more than

troopers about equally divided be-

the AAA crop reduction program has
further impoverished these hitherto

"There is not the remotest chance,
in Mr.. Thomas view that industry
and agriculture will be able to absorb
the workers let out by the termina-
ton Of the CWA, and moreover dis
content is more widespread among
the masses than ever.
"You can keep a dog hungry, but
you can't take a bone away from
him." he said. "The CWA was not a
very adequate bone but its taking
away is a bitter blow. Then the
workers are bearing the brunh Of the
N. r. "A. There is not enforcement
worth a whoop Of the code provisions
benefiting them, and any one can see
that prices have gone up"

stopped ever SO often to shake hrs

Johnson Gets Told in Plain
Language That N. r. A. Is
A 'Ghastly Farce

WASHINGTON, March a (CNS)
The second day of the "First Round
Up of NRA Critics" found two young
Negro protestants sharing the glar-
ing spotlight with Mrs. Clifford Pin
chot, the red-haired wife Of the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, who told N.
R. A. officials that enforcement of
their labor program was a "ghastly
farce" She stated she still was for
the NRA but II can't make the
speeches that l used to and | will
send in no more complaints until we
have a different policy"
But for the strong case presented
by John P. Davis and Nelson H.
Nichols. Mrs. Pinchot would have
'stole the entire show" AS it turned
out Nichols, a young Negro lawyer,
caused a furry when he charged N.
R. A. officials, whom he named, with
drawing the color line against him
when he sought a job after having
served the organization extensively
as a speaker-without pay.
He proved his entire case with do
cumentary evidence. He introduced a
letter addressed to him from General
Johnson, which said, in part: "You
know as well as I do that there are
some situations in which the races
can be mixed and some in which they
cannot The case in your leeter is
one of the latter"
Assistant Administrator for Labor,
Edward T. McGrady, recognizing the
barefaced e~ffrontery Of Johnson and
his assistants asked Nichols if he
would take some other job besides a
legal one. When Nichols replied 1--WE
been to school 20 years and l don't
want to sweep floors but l want to
make a living, he got a "big hand"
and cheers from the audience in the
crowded gold fish bowl" Nichols
charged that he had applied for a job
In answer to a letter
written to Congressman Ben Cravens
of Arkansas, by Lincoln Collins Of
the NRA, Nichols stated that he re-
ported to an NRA office and was
told to GO and see ]. c. Sinnigen, as
personnel director of the N.
R. A. He did SO and upon reaching
Mr.. Sinnigen was bluntly told that
he could not get employed because he
was colored.
Mr.. Nichols turned over to the
"a stenographic report Of
the conversation he had with Sinni-
gen, and a letter from General Hugh
5. johnson, administrator, upholding
stand. The testimony of

Negroes Injured Not Aided

John P. Davis, representing the
Joint Committee on National Re
covery also made out a strong case
against johnson and the N. R.. A.
"Ten out of Is Negroes in the cotton
textile industry are just as badly off
as if there had been no N. r. A." he
declared. He specifically criticized
the hotel, textile, restaurant laundry
and lumber codes because they es-
tablished wage differentials based on
different costs Of living. "It is a diff
ference between standards not costs
of living" said Davis, who charged
that Southern manufacturers raised
a large fund to propaganda Negro
es for a fight against high wages in
the codes because with high wages
they would be displaced by white
workers.
Mr.. Davis said that complaints Of
Negroes to the compliance machin-
cry had been ignored, despite the
statements Of General Jonson that all
responsible organizations would be
heard. The N. r. A., he asserted, has
not a single Negro employe above
the grade of clerk, "and the n that
had been there above that grade was
dismissed"
He requested a place for Negroes
on the Labor Advisory Board and the
Consumers Advisory Board.
