Chicago, Aug. 4.-Thousands of
colored people in the states sur
rounding this city are incensed over
remarks made on the radio last
Friday by Alvin ("Jake") Powell,
New York Yankee Baseball Clubs
outfielder.
Powell being interviewed on the
Old Gold cigarette program over
station WGN in answer to a ques-
ton put to him by Bob Elson as to
what he did to keep in trim during
the winter months, blurted out, 20,

Powell is a Dayton, Ohio, police
man and his beat is in section
largely inhabited by Negroes.
Immediately after his insulting
remarks the station cut him OFF the
air but not soon enough because
thousands of angry phone calls
and kilograms poured into the radio
station. Protest to Baseball High
Commissioner K. M. Lands brought
Powell a ten day suspension.
Both Chicago and New York
Negroes protested to Col Jacob
Rupert, the WGN radio station
and the manufacturers of Old Gold
cigarettes, who sponsor the sports
broadcast.
A delegation of prominent Chi
cagoans lodged formal protest to
Charles Comiskey, president of the
Chicago White Sox, the Windy
City American League team. Sec
rotary Gardiner told the delegation
that the White Sox management
regretted Powell's behaviour.
So intense was the feeling that
on Saturday and Sunday Yankee
players were guarded to and from
the park by Chicago police.
New York fans plan to launch
an intensive drive to have the
Yankees get rid of Powell. Thou
sands of dollars are spent with the
New York Yankees Ball Club by
New York Negroes weekly.

Meanwhile Dayton, Ohio, colored
citizens will seek to have Powell
removed from the police force
when he returns at the close of the
season.

LASER DenOunceS
Southern Wage
Differentials

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug
(CNA)-Southern wage differen-
tials "stemmed from the fact that
employers had divided Negro
against white and thus kept wages
down." Henry Mayfield, Negro coal
miner and vice president of a
United Mine Workers local, told a
meeting of $500 Negro and white
workers here this week.
David LASER, national president
of the Workers Alliance, and prin-
cipal speaker at the meeting, also
assailed Southern wage differen-
tials. He exposed the fallacy of
the reactionary defense wage diff
ferentials that cost of living is low
err in the South. With government
figures he showed that cost of iv-
ing in Birmingham was only two
per cent lower than in Indianapolis,
where WPA workers receive so per
cent more than they do in Birming-
ham. His talk was a ringing de-
nunciation of the wage differen-
tials, both in industry and on WPA,
and he was enthusiastically ap-
plauded when. he called for its
elimination.
The mass meeting followed a
halliday wage conference held dur
ing the aft rnoon under the aus
spices of the Workers Alliance.
Delegates attended from Mobile,
Gadsden, Huntsville, Tallapoosa
County, Bibb County, and commu-
mites in Jefferson county, many of
them representing independent I'M
employed organizations. The
Farmers Union and several trade
unions were represented.
