COTTON GIN WORKERS
CALLED FARMERS" TO
DODGE PAY BOOST

New York City-Classification Of
z, 1000 Negro work RS in cotton gins
as agricultural workers denies them
any benefit under the NRA, according
to letters Of protest mailed today
from th1 National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People to
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A
Wallace and officials Of the Agr-
cultural Adjustment Administration
The letters signed by Roy Wilkins
assistant secretary Of the N. A. A. T.
p, declar sd that the work in cotton
gins is highly mechanical and thai
the labor in the gins is actually IN
dustrial labor and should have MIA
pay. From Sept II, 1888 until May
s. 1894 the Association contends, this
labor was recognized by the MIA
the AAA, and the National timers
Conference as industrial, but on the
latter date tn, ginners suddenly chang
ed their minds and passed a resolu-
ton stating that gin labor was mol
industrial, ~whereupon their appllca-
ton for a cod agrecment under the
NRA was withdrawn.
The Association also protests a
gains the entering into a marketing
agreement with cotton ginnars by the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton prior to fixing wage rates Tor
cotton gin labor. Cotton gin labor
is now being paid only from seven to
tsn cents an hour, while small cotton
farmers are at present paying prices
for gin services biased upon wholly
mythical wages all iged bo.ng PAD

The protest closes with the conten-
ton that "the recovery Of one whole

lines will be one of the most import

Levin, president Of the Young Voters
League for Metcalfe for Governor,
said at a meeting of the league at the

The tax bill, known as House Roll
No. 9, which provides for a tax bill
on credit accounts of business and
professional men and women, drew
the particular fire of Levin. He char
acterized this law as impossible Of
enforcement.
"There is real work to be n Neb-

most practical form of relief is to be
found in a reduction of the cost Of
government through the elimination
of Jobs which have been created for

Who Pays the Piper?

Despite this shouting and tunlult,
those who take sober thought must
admit that if the Negroes who turn

Gratis did not ump from the frying
pan into the fire, they did no bet
ter than take a leap from one skill
let to another. Everybody knows
that the Republican party has beer:
unable to serve the working man be-
cause it has always been financed by
tire great captains OF industry. These
men have poured millions into COP
Golfers because it has paid them ex-
cellent returns by way Of legislation.
The Democratic Party is no whit
different. Money to finance it comes
from another section OF American
itch men. And it takes no great
amount OF theorizing to arrive at the
conclusion THAT these men are inanc-
ing the party because Of what it
means TO them. Certainly l know

OBITUARY NOTICE

Election returns indicate that news
of Abraham Lincoln's death has at
last penetrated to the remote corn
ers of the nations innumerable ghet-
toes. For the past 60 years, the Re-
publican politicians have garnered
the Negro vote by the simple expedi-
ent of paying lip-service to the
"ideals'' of the "Great Emancipator"
and tossing in few empty gestures
for good measure. But this year the
disillusioned voters turned about and
went far enough to replace Oscar De-
Priest with a Negro Democrat.
A few of the mere observant po-
l,ticians sensed the impending change
and those whose specially is bam-
boozling the Negro turned the trick
this year by cleverly polishing up
their old speeches and replacing the
name Of Abraham Lincoln with that
of Franklin d. Roosevelt. The same
man who only few years ago were
damning the Democrats from the
house-tops, are now shouting with
might and main that the New Deal
offers a short cut to heaven on this
earth.

First Call.

First Call.
Negroes who were elected to office
on the Democratic ticket must take
dictation from those who control the
Democratic Party. Take Chicago's
Congressman-elect, Mitchell, for in
stance. It is no secret that money
for his election campaign came from
VIGOROUSLY corrupt south side poll
ticians put their money on the. line
because they believe that they can
rely on Mitchell to take care of their
interests. And if he wants to retain
his fat job he will do just that. That's
here the rub comes.
The interests of the Negro and
white workingman whose ballots
elected Mr.. Mitchell are not the same
as those of the politicians who fnanc
ed his campaign. What those work
ers need is complete change in thu
economic setup, one that will removr
the causes of unemployment and
pending that change, old-age pen
sions and unemployment Insurance
The politicians on the other hand arc
livig pretty well, thank you, in tn,
