Tobias Joins Staff of
Race Relations Group
Y. nj. G. A. Senior Secretary VIII
Divide Time With Commission
on Inter-racial cooperation

Atlanta, Ga, May 2For the
ensuing year, in addition to his
work as Senior Secre airy Of the
National Council of the Y. M. c..
a., DR.. Charming H. Tobias will
devote part of his time to the
work of the Commission on In
ter-racial coopera. ion, according
to an announcement from the
headquarters of the latter organi-
cation in this city. The r. Nj.
c. A. agreed to share DR.. Tobias
time at the earnest request of the
Inter-racial Commission, which
felt that he could render the
cause of race relations a unique
and invaluable service in connec-
ton with certain projects which
the commission is promoting.
The We eran Y. 81. G. A. leader
was ENCOURAGED to accept the ad-
ded responsibility by recent OPP
portunities to address importan.
Southern groups as an irterpre er
Of inter-racial goodwill, and by
the uniform courtesy and appre-
citation with which his services in
hat connection were received. In
a recent good will tour Ill Texas
he spoke by invitation before the
State Teachers Association and in
seven of the leading white col
leges, and everywhere was given
a most cordial and sympathetic
hearing. His appearance last
summer as one Of the principal
speakers a. the Southern Method
ist Summer Conference at Lake
Junaluska, N. c., is another ease
in point.
It should be clearly understood
that DR.. Tobias connection with
the Y. NJ. G. A.. as Senior Secre-
tary for Colored Work continues
unchanged. The new arrange
ment with the Inter-racial Com
mission means only that he will
divide time between the two or
CARNATIONS. The Commission
counts itself fortunate in effect
ing this arrangement.

NRA Lowers Negro Standard of
Living

The promise Of MIRA to bring high
er wages and increased employment
to industrial workers has glimmered
away. In the code-making process
occupational and geographical differ
entails at first were used as devices
to exclude from the operation of mini
mum wages and maximum hours the
bulk of the Negro workers. Later,
clauses basing code wage rates on the
previously existing wage differential
between Negro and white workers
tended to continue the inferior status
Of the Negro. For the particular
firms for whom none of these devices
served as an effective means of keep
ing down Negro wages, there is an
easy way out through the securing of
al exemption specifically relating to
the Negro worker in the plant. Such
exemptions are becoming more num-
erous as time goes on. Thus from
the beginning relatively few Negro
workers were even theoretically COW
cred by NRA labor provisions.
But employers did not have to rely
on the code-making process. The Ne
gro worker not already Disseminated
against through code provisions had
many other gaunlets to run The
question of Importance to him as to
all workers was, Gas a result of all of
NRA's maneuvers will 1 be able to
buy more?" The answer has been
"No." A worker cannot eat a wage
rate. To determine what this wage
q number of other factors. Thus rates
for l-ongshoremen seem relatively
high. But when we realize that the
average amount of work a longshore-
man receives during the year is from
ten to fifteen weeks, the wage rate
loses much of its significance. Wher
we add to that fact the increase in
the cost of living-as high as 40 pei

Executive Secretary, Joint COMMITTEES
On National Recovery.

It is highly important for the Ne
gro citizen Of America to take inven-
tory of the gains and losses which
have come to him under the "New
Deal" The Roosevelt Administra-
ton has now had two years in which
TO unfold itself. Its ~portents are
reasonably clear to anyone who SER
iously studies the varied activities Of
its recovery program. We can now
state with reasonable certainty what
the New Deal" means for the Negro.
At once the most striking and ire
futable indication of the effect Of the
New Deal" on the Negro can be
CLEANED from relief figures furnished
by the government itself. In October
1888, six months after the present ad-
ministration took office, 2,117,00O Ne
groes were in families receiving re-
lief in the United States. These rep
resented 17.8 percent of tn total Ne
gro population as of the 1890 Census.
In January 1895, after nearly two
years of Recovery measures, $500, 900
Negroes were in families receiving
relief, or 29 percent of our 1880 pop
ulation. Certainly only a slight por-
ton of the large increase in the num-
Der of impoverished Negro families
car be explained away by the chart
table, on the grounds that relief adj
ministration has become more hu-
name. AS a matter of fact federal
relief officials, themselves, admit that
grave abuses exist in the administra-
ton of rural relief to Negroes. And
this is reliably borne out by the dis
proportionate increase in the number
of urban Negro families on relief to
the number Of rural Negro families
on relief. Thus the increase in the
number of Negroes in relief families
is an accurate Indication of the deep
ening of the economic crisis for black
America.

Negro Masses ReactIng to the Crisis
The sharpening Of the crisis for Ne
groes has not found them unrespons-
i've. Two years Of increasing hard
ship has seen strange movement
among the masses. In Chicago, New
York, Washington and Baltimore the
struggle for jobs has given rise to
action on the part of a number Of
groups seeking to boycott white en-
ployers who refuse to employ Negroes.

campaigns are springing up every
where. The crisis has furnished re-
newed vigor to the Garvey movement.
And proposals for a 49th state are
being seriously considered by various
groups.
In sharp contrast with these strictly
racial approaches to the problem have
been a number Of ~interracial ap-
proaches. Increasing numbers of I'M
employed groups have been organized
under radical leadership and have
picketed relief stations for bread.
Sharecroppers Unions, under Commu-
mist leadership in Alabama, Georgia

Worst Disaster
Flood waters, they reported, had
swept over front 200 miles across
in the southern section of Ne
braska. 1t was the worst catas-
trophe ever suffered in the great
river valley, officials reported after
a survey.
The rushing flood had swept
through the area, carrying away
men, women and children, smash
ing their homes and destroying
livestock.
Eleven counties of Nebraska suf-
fered. Railroad tracks, highways
and bridges were damaged or torn
away on the crest Of the flood
waters.
With rail communications and
automobile travel impossible in

food to the homeless one of their
gravest problems.
Accounts of miraculous escapes
from death were pouring into
