Alleged use of cheap materials in
Federal buildings is opposed by the
American Institute of Architects and
the Producers Council. national or
ganization of manufacturers affiliated
with the institute
A resolution adopted by both or
ganizations and sent to President
Roosevelt protests against "a trend
in the planning of building to cheap

construction and materials"
This policy would result in unnec-

heavier burden upon the taxpayers

1T is desirable that the investment
of public funds should be safeguarded
by insisting upon adequate standards

says.
The American Institute of Archi-
tects and the Producers Council urge

No greater problem today is fac

a problem which economists, poli-i
clans, social workers and educators
are frantically working to perfect a
solution. To the N gro the marginal

last to be hired andthe first to be
fired, he has born the brunt of this
economic paralysis. Of all g-oups
concerned and perplexed as to the
outcome of these conditions, is the
Negro educator and the Negro stu
dent. The current business recession
has set the Negro back hmm ~asurably.

been taken over by others, agricul

Today in our lager hope to see the
coming of prosperity, it might be well
to put to ourselves the question "are

the change might be.

BRIDGETON, N. j. July Ii &c
NS)-Monday, July 9, tear gas
bombs, water from five hose, and
cops clubs were necessary TO put an
end to clashes between deputy sher-
ifs and policemen and striking farm
hands at the 1000 acre Seabrook
fam in Deerfield Township. Truly,
seven men and women, including
thirt en- colored men and women were
arrested. They are: Ellen Roberts,
Ardella Dent, Esther Jones, Lillian
Jackson, Tom Crawford, Daniel Hart,
William Brown, John Dent, jesse
Reeves. Ernest Johnson, Paul Rod

The strike is counted the major

claim was a breech of contract On the
art of the Seabrook Farm Corpora
ton.
The Seabrook Farm is the largest
farm project in the United States.
The government has lent it 100000
to h-lp pull the N. j. section out Of
the depression. 1t has produced at
times large p5ofits, but the present
strike was precipitated WIN two
weeks ago the Seabrook officials are
said to have repudiated a contract
made with the union by which farm
workers were to receive the follow
ing:
l.. A flat rate of 30 cents per
hour for men.
g. A flat rate of Is cents for
women.
8. A graduated scale for skilled
labo..
4. Time and one half for over
time and Sundays.
s.. No increase in rent for com
any houses for II months.
6. Recognition of the Agricul-
tural Workers Industrial Union.
Strike Precipitated
The strike was precipitated last
week when a reduction in pay to IL
cents per hour was announced and
$50 men laid off. Women stood out
in the clashes with officers Monday.
They made up most of the picket line
and bounced upon loads of produce
baing taken to the farm cannery. 1t
was this last action which brought
police into action.
A delegation was sent to Washing
ton and put the matter before the
Department Of Labor.
This delegation, which comprised
both colored and white workers,
branded the farm corporation as one
of the most ruthless e~xploiters of
labor in the country. 1t was charged
that it not only failed to comply with
code rules, but that it imported Labor
from the South to keep the wage;
low.
The strikers returned to work on
Wednesday afternoon after certain
negotiations, which most Of them
claim is a victory for the Company.
