especially glamorous in the Fol-

The story is written around four
girls who are the unemployed ac-
tresses. These roles are played by
Hazel Warricks, Adelaide Sykes
and Ruth Benner.
The role of director Of the Fol
lies Of 1897" is taken by Harold
Rowland, who is clever, curt, and
cute (especiasly to stage chorines).
You've no idea how romantic
and spectacular the ia Bomba"
promises to be.
OF course, have been seeing re-
hearsals, that is why I know what
you might expect Of the show. The
La Bopba is really the one big mo-
ment Of the evening performance.
Nothing, however, surpasses the
beauty and rhythm of the Boston
Tea Party scene. Pretty dances,
pretty costumes and pretty seem
cry, honestly, the entire revue, I
believe, is the very best yet to b
put on by Halle Q. Browns dra-

Davis Warns Congress of
Jim Crow Wage Differential
Clause i'm Wage-Hour Bill

WASHINGTON, June-(CNA)
Support for the principles Of the
Black-Connery wage-hour bill,
coupled with a warning against
the difrerential wage system that
might encourage discrimination
against half million Negro work
ers, was voiced by John p. Davis,
national secretary Of the National
Negro Congress, at hearing on
the bill before the Joint Senate
House Committee.
Davis declared that unless GER
tain changes were made in the bill
as il now stands, the measure
might result in even greater dis
elimination against Negroes than
we saw under the NRA." He urged
the complete abolition Of diSeren-
tial clauses from the bill. He also
asked for registration of appren-
tees and Of old and handicapped
workers to prevent employers from
abusing the exemption in these
cases.
Davis gave the committee a COM
plete description of four types of
differentials which, according to
experience with the MIRA, might
work hardships upon Negro work
ers.
Hits Wage Discrimination
While the MIRA permitted differ
ences in wage and hour scales ac-
cording to industries, the. Black
Connery bill would permit fur
Their fdiferential by occupations
within n single industry, Davis
pointed out. In the textile indus
try, for example, the occupations
worked mostly by Negroes might
have a lower minimum wage and
higher maximum work week than
the rest Of the industry.
The geographical differential. per-
hitting inferior wage scales in the
South, was the second type that
Davis warned against. He remind
ed the committee how under the
NRA, Delaware was declared to be
in the South as far as the fertilizer
industry was concerned, while it
was supposed to be in the North
when it came to 669 other indus
tries. This was because the work
ers in the fertilizer industry were
90 per cent Negroes.
Davis called a third type Of diff
ferential the economic grandfath-
err clause" Under the MIRA, in
certain industries, workers who
previously received 80 cents an
hour were advanced to 40 cents,
while those in the same industry,
often Negroes, who had received
20 or Is cents for the same work
were advanced only to 80 cents an
hour.
The last TYNE of differential
named by Davis was the kind that
would result from all kind Of ex-
emptions for apprentices and old
and handicapped workers. Davis
asked that exemptions for handi-
capped workers be limited to s per
cent of the total number Of work
ers in any industry Sa that ap-
premiership be limited to period
Of Il weeks.
