tire group were having a swell time
laughing and joking, but they all
had their shoes off. Amt that some
thing What a party?
The show at the Cotton Club IS q
hum dinger, about one Of the best %
d long time. Probably / think this
because they have SO many beautiful
girls and with such lovely costumes.
Had swell time tt-talking with
gIamorous Mary Rainey who as you
know is the lovely wife Of the cap
able manager Of the Cotton Club.
Usually when she and meet we have
a lengthy conversation that is always
pleasant.
Met Bill Moten former red cap,
who is back from Nashville, after be-
ing in school taking his M. 4. at
that city. Good to see you Bill. Lots
of luck. I'll be in your corner roofing.

renewed from working loLg hours
at low wages wouid numDer pc
tween 2,UUU,Uu0 and 5000 900.
Inc percentage OF cololcd who
would be aided is not known.
AlInougn SCulnerners contend a
lower standard is needed for the
south since the cost OF living is far
lower there than in large Northern
urban areas, the figures snow that
after all, those workers sharing in
IS Denents would be assured Of a
minimum wage of only Sic weekly
Ia salary that is hardly conducive
to the purchase of imported cars or
20 room mansions with private
swimming pools and golf courses.
Some Southerners, processing an
interest in the Negro, contend that
passage Of the law would result in
the replacement of colored workers
with white in those industries af--
fected. They say that ii the employ
ers must pay all the same wage and
are no longer permitted to pay COL
ored less than they do whites, then
they will take on all white person
nels. - sA .xsaI
Certain Southern manufactur-
ers who employ Negro workers IN
their plants have come out frankly
and stated that il the minimum wage
goes into effect, they will fire their
colored help and put on white, Civ
ing as their reason that their Negro
employees are s.too inefficient to
merit the higher wage scale. !"
Whether on not that IS an idle threat
remains to be seen.
Most of the important Southern
papers have opposed the bill unless
sectional differentials are establish
ed; but some papers, like the Birm-
ingham Post, are backing the meas
ure. In recent editorial, the Post

lower in the South and in small
communities, and that freight rates
discriminate. Still there must be
limit below which wages should not
drop if some semblance of what is
called the American standard Of liv
ing is to be maintained"
Since most of the Southern Ne
groes are engaged in agricultural
pursuits which would be exempt
under the bill, and those in the
North are employed in industry
with many belonging to labor unions,
either Go or AFI, present indica-
tions are that most of the Negroes
to benefit under the statutes pro-
visions will be those employed in
Northern steel mills, Detroit auto
factories, etc, while Southerners to
benefit will be mainly those em1--
ployed in the Birmingham steel mill
area and as longshoremen, dock
workers and rail workers.

RACE ISSUE INVOLVED IN
PASSAGE OF WAGE HOURS BILL
WASHINGTON, june

WASHINGTON, june g.
CAMP Enactment OF the
Federal wage and hour IegisIa-
zion, which now looms as . Ger
taanty with the measures pas
sage by the house Tuesday
night by a 3I4 to 96 vote and
the current efforts of house and
sena.e committees to doyata;I
the legislation passed by both
bodies, will find North and
South sectional lines of battle
again drawn UP.
Southern congressman fought
vigorously against the bills
passage on the grounds that
CHEAPER living conditions in
Dixie should cause wage diff
ferential, but it is common
knowledge that their main OBJ
lection is the prospect Of Ne
gro workers drawing The same
wages as whites.
Chief support for this legislation
Is found in the North, where indus
trialists and economists declare that
the lure of lower wages has caused
many manufacturers to move below
the Mason and Dixon line where
lessened overhead elables them te
undersell Northern companies. Botl
the American Federation OF Labor
and the Committee for Industrial
Organization, enemies for some
time, are whole heartedly back 81
the bill. rs
Backing the measure and against
any sectional wage dif'erentials is
the NAACP which believes that
different standards for geographical
areas will result in the Southern
colored laborer sharing little, if any,
Of the bills benefits.
The house measure s'provides a
minimum 25 cents an hour, p hour
week, which becomes a 40 cent-40
hour standard at the end of three
years. This would apply, however,
only to those industries engaged in
interstate commerce. An amendment
also provides that individuals en-
ragged in, among other things, hand
L e, packing, storing and ginning
Of farm products would be exempt
from the bills provision.
This means that even if the bill
in it's present form becomes the law,
it will affect neither the waes nor
working conditions of many Negroes
Those engaged in cotton ginning,
handling. etc., would not come under
its provisions; domestic. workers
not be included; porters, ianitors,
etc, would be exempt, and SO would
be the barber shop and beauty par
lor, as we'll as the average small
business and its employees.
In fact, conservative estimates
have it that those who would be
