Gavagan Of New York. Congress
man Gayagan's anti-lynching bill
was passed by the House In April,
after the debate on the federal anti
lynching bill had been concluded in
the Senate. The statement further
asserted that no action had been
taken by the states in the 1888
lynchings--snot even an arrest

The bills have been referred to
the House and Senate judiciary
committees respectively and it ~
expected that dates for hearings on
them will be set soon by sub-com-
mittees designated to consider them.
In launching this campaign In
support or the new bills, Walter
White, N. A. A. G. r. secretary, said:
"The fight. for this legislation is
going to be hard one. 1t always
is because it touches the emotions
of d great many people. We believe
that the bill will get through the
House il the proper support Is put
behind it at the proper times by the
voters back home.

be in the Senate where the custom

WAKE UP!

You'd think nothing of it il your
next-door neighbor borrowed a
cigarette. But you would regard it
as a presumption if he asked per-
mission to run cord to one Of
your electric light outlets in order
to operate his radio for the evening.
Yet, the fact is, based on average
domestic power rates, that the cost
Of one cigarette would more than
pay the cost of operating most
radios for several hours!
Here is an excellent illustration
of what the electric industry, under
private ownership and state regula-
ton, has done to reduce the cost Of
vital service to the American
people. Electric power is the only
item in the governments standard
cost-of-living index which costs less
today than it did before the war.
. You can use power for lighting,
cooking, refrigerating, and for ac-
tuating dozens of conveniences such
as percolators and vacuums, for less
money than you spent for lighting
alone not so many years ago.
And here too is an excellent illus
tration Of the hypocrisy of the poll
| tically-inspired buncombe which
| underlies the "high-cosst Of electric
| ity" talk. The government has
spent untold hundreds Of millions
! for unnecessary publicly owned, tax.
free power plants which duplicate
and gradually eliminate existing
| heavily-taxed, private plants, to the
detriment Of all taxpayers. Yet
power is one of the smallest items ir
any family's budget. With very
few exceptions, it Is one of the
| smallest items in the cost Of operat'
| ing a business or a manufacturing
concern. It's difficult to see how
government funds could be spent fol
anything that would do the average
citizen less good than socializet

It's time we awakened to the facts
Once that happens, the proponents

of buying power for any group OF

Insurance Boycott
We wish to congratulate the off
cials Of the National Negro Insur-
anee Association for their decision
to boycott the Rock Island Railroad
in travelling to Los Angeles next
July for their 10th annual conven-
ton, because Of the treatment Of
Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell Of
Illinois, who was humiliated by this
railroad on trip through Arkansas.
The Congressman recently lost his
case against the road before the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
but has not given up the fight, and
confidently expects to win in the
courts.
Secretary G. L. Townes Of the
Association has Informed all MEM
bers Of the decision of the Executive
Committee to use any other trans
portation facilities on the California
trip except the Rock Island or any
Of its affiliated lines. 1t is our hope
that the membership will obey this
request to the letter.
The Negro group is finding, par
ticularly in the North, that the eco
| nomic boycott is becoming an in
| creasingly more potent weapon by
which justice and fair play may be
won in the economic realm. Once
! we are able to establish the unit rule
in opposing our enemies, we will
find that our friends will miracul-
ously multiply in what was once re
garded as enemy country.

A-"Merit Rating" becomes eff
fective January |, 1912. Employers
having the largest employment turn
over will receive high rate and
those with the least unemployment,
the low rate.
Q-The law states that any un-
employed worker must accept any
job for which he is reasonably suit
ed Does that mean that q skilled
worker would have to accept work
as d common laborer?
AT the present time, there are
more applicants for work than jobs
available except possibly where
specialization is required. The en-
ployment service is very proud Of
its record of referring the right per-
son to the right job. Since there
are many persons who can do only
common labor, the skilled worker
need have no fear of being referred
to work as a common laborer unless
he requests such employment.
Q-After receiving benefits for
l6 weeks, how much time must
elapse before benefits begin again?
A The worker will not be eligible
for benefits again until he re-estab-
fishes his right to them by working
in the required 30 weeks and these
20 weeks must be within the 81
weeks Immediately preceding the
date he applies for benefits.

NEW ANTI-LYNCH BILL Is
INTRODUCED IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20--A new
federal anti-lynching bill sponsored
by Senators Robert f. Wagner Of
New York, Frederick Van Nuys Of
Indiana. and Arthur Capper Of Kan
sas, was introduced in the Senate
January 10.
The new Wagner-Van Nuys- Cap
per bill il the one which will be sup
ported by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People and others who have been
carrying on the campaign for this
legislation for many years.
Senator Capper, Republican,
this year, joins the two Democratic
sponsors of this legislation.
The new bill differs in only two
minor details from the Wagner Van
Nuys bill which was filibustered to
death In the Senate last February.
The first change eliminated the ex-
ception of "gangster killings con-
tanned in the old bill; the second
change omitted the requirement
That law enforcement officers estab-
lish that they had not been negli-
gent in lynching and placed this
burden Of proof upon the plaintiff.
The new bill still contains the
section holding a county in which q
| lynching occurs liable for damage
to be recovered by civil suit in the
federal court This section is re,
/ garded as the heart Of the bill.
/ In a statement accompanying ths
! introduction of the bill. the three

How the race is being kept down
economically is revealed in a graphic
description of how colored teachers
in Tennessee lose $625,000 per year,
in the annual address of President
George M. Glenn of the East Ten
nessee Association of Teachers IN
Colored Schools, at Knoxville, re-
Gently. Not only do colored teach
ers lose this amount, but this same
amount goes directly to white teach
ers, illegally, which makes the white
teaching group richer at the expense
of the colored group. President
Glenn shows that each month col
ored teacher is paid, $31.27 the col
ored teacher should get, by law, goes
to q white teacher. To quote the
President:
I'm my study Of the salary situa.
tion in Tennessee, found some very
surprising facts ... The average
salary for all white teachers during
the year 1934-35 was $118.2S. The
average salary for all Negro teach
ers during the same year was $9788
There was difference in salary Of
$38.40. The average salary for al
white teachers during the year 1887
38 was S116.75. The average sal
ary for all Negro teachers during
the same year was $s5.39. The diff
ference was $3I.27.
9In the four-year period there wa
a gain of only $7.13 toward ths
equalization Of salaries in Tennessee
There are around $500 Negrt
teachers in the State OF Tennessee
Each of that $500 is losing $3l.2'
each month or $250.16 for an eight
month term. All Negro teacher
are losing each year an aggregat
sum Of approximately $62b,00l
over one half million dollars. Tha
