action and in previous. actions
on the same point maintain that
this differential is instituted
solely on a basis of race and
color which they aver is un-
constitutional.
Since 1908 the state of Mary
land has maintained salary
schedules by statutes which pro-
vide for higher minimum salar-
ias Ion white teachess md rx.tn-
cipah than for Negros teachers
and principals with the same
qualifications and experience.
Maryland is the only state with
such a discriminatory salary
schedule in the statutes.
Since 1908 the Negro teach
ers and principals of Maryland
and interested citizens have been
petitioning the legislature to re-
peal these statutes and pass
ones providing for equal salaries
but these efforts have been un-
successful
In 1885 attorneys for the Ma
tional Association for the Advan-
cement Of Colored People were
requested by the Negro teach
ers a n d principals to take the
necessary legal action to remove
the discrimination. The first
case was a petition for a writ
of Mandamus filed in the Circuit
Court Of Montgomery county
the later part Of 1886, on behalf
OF William Gibbs, a Negro
principal-teacher, to require the
board Of education of Montgom
cry county to equalize salaries.
A check of the records of tn,
board of education of Montgom
cry county and t h e scales OF
salaries revealed that white
, high school teachers received
an annual salary of $1571.OO a:
compared to $4,000 for coIorec
teachers, or a differential of S71c
that white elementary teachers
received an annual salary OF
1852. as compared to SG31. fol
