More About Dies
Committee
By SAMUEL A. ROBINSON

The 'Dies Committee" has now spent
the entire amount entrusted to them by
our last Congress for the investigation
Of un-American activities.
They are about to present their report
to the Congress now in session and to
ask for a new appropriation to push
forward their investigations for two
more years.
Millions of honest patriotic Ameri-
cans are voicing disapproval and dis
gust of the tactics of the 'Dies Com
mittee". They are asking why did not
the "Dies Committee investigate real
un-American activities abroad in our
landg Activities that daily ignore our
great Constitution and make mockery
OF our bill of Rights, un-American
activities that are eating like cancer
at the very roots of our democracy.
Let me enumerate a few: The honor
able gentleman, Mr. Dies, himself, halls
from the great State of Texas where
the Fifteenth Amendment to our Con
stltution that states explicitly Suffrage
shall not be denied to citizens because of
race or color or previous condition of
servitude" is being trampled underfoot.
Thousands of colored Americans are
Systematically denied the right of stuff
rage in the State of Texas. This holds
good in practically every Southern
State.
Did the "Dies Committee investigate
this alarming state of affairs? IF not.
why not?
The Thirteenth Amendment to our
Constitution clearly states that 'Neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude ex-
cept as punishment for crime whereof
the party shall have been duly con
victed shall exist within the United
States or in any place subject to their
jurisdiction" Yet in many sections of

UNDER THE BANNER of bal
anced budget" the blind, selfish and
reactionary elements in the nation are
waging a determined battle against the
Presidents efforts to ameliorate the
plight of the nations millions of I'M
employed The Obstructionist activities
of these reactionaries offer an excellent
example of the callousness of our eco
nomic system and the nauseating social
order which it has spawned.
IF THE UNITED STATES were
at war, and thus spending millions daily
for the destruction of life and prop
erty, there would be raised no question
of balancing the budget" During the
last war to "end all wars" and to make
the world safe for Democracy" we were
asked to give and spend until it hurts.
In those days the mumtion magnates,
the industrial kings, the railroad barons,
the financial overlords and their ilk
were so saturated with the spirit of
patriotism that they were unable to
remember the budget; we had to win
the war at all COSTS and anybody or
anything which appeared to them as
being in the way Of that proclaimed
objective was loudly denounced as I'M
patriotic.
BUT IN THE present war against
poverty and industrial stagnation, pa
triotism becomes the handy mantle with
which the obstructionists cover them
selves. If there were any doubts re-
garding the correctness of the state
ment: patriotism is the last refuge
of a scoundrel" those doubts can easily
be removed by a careful ANALYSIS of
the activities of the present crop of
patriots who insist upon balancing the
budget at the expense of the millions
OF unemployed American workers. Bal
anclng the budget has indeed become an
obsession and the crusade is daily add
ing to the small but influential army of
fanatics who place property rights
above the right Of the people to life,
liberty and human happiness.
THE LATEST RECRUIT is the
recent Republican presidential candi-
date, former Governor Alfred NJ. Ian
don of Kansas who sees the nation
threatened with international disaster
unless we forthwith balance the budget.
He sees the need for building up an
adequate national defense against in
ternatiOnal foes; but to do this, he saws

CALVIN DIGEST
HOW TEACHERS LOSE MONEY
BY FLOYD J. CALVIN

How the race is being kept down eco
nomically is revealed in a graphic de-
scription of how colored teachers in
Tennessee lose $4,000 per year in
the annual address of President GEORGE
NJ. Glenn of the East Tennessee Asso-
citation Of Teachers in Colored Schools,
at Knoxville, recently Not only do
colored teachers lose this amount, but
this same amount goes directly to white
teachers, illegally, which makes the
white teaching group richer at the ex-
pense OF the colored group. President
Glenn shows that each month a colored
teacher is paid $31.27 the colored
teacher should get, by law, goes to a
white teacher. To quote the President {:
I'm my study of the salary situa-
ton In Tennessee, I found some very
surprising facts. . The average sal
airy for all white teachers during the
year l934-35 was $11828. The average
salary for all colored teachers during
the same year was $97.SS. There was
difference in salary of $38.40. The
average salary for all white teachers
during the year 1898 was $116.75.
The average salary for all colored
teachers during the same year was
$500. The difference was $31.27.
"In the four-year period there was a
gain of only $7.13 toward the equaliza-
ton of salaries. At that rate of gain,
it would require II years to have equal
lezd salaries in Tennessee. There are
around $500 colored teachers in the
State Of Tennessee. Each of that $500
is losing $31.27 each month or $3.50. 16
for an eight-month term. All colored
teachers are losing each year an ag-
gregate sum of approximately 1925 900
over one half million dollars. That
amount of money represents a lot of
buying power for any group of peo-
pie. 1t will buy many homes, MANY
cars; it will make living conditions
much better for thousands of people
That amount of money is worth fight
ing for; it is a worthy goal for this or
any association to strive for"
And may we add, more power to
leaders like President Glen.

INSURANCE BOYCOTT

We wish to congratulate the officials
OF the National Race Insurance Asso-
cation for their decision to boycott the
Rock Island Railroad in travelling to
Los Angeles next July for their 10Th
annual convention, because of the
treatment of Congressman Arthur w.
Mitchell of Illinois, who was humili-
ated by this railroad on a 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

the decision of the Executive Commit
tee to use any other transportation ia
cilities on the California trip except
the Rock Island or any of its affiliated
lines. 1t is our hope that the member
ship will obey this request to the letter
The colored group is finding, parti-
cularly in the North, that the economic
boycott is becoming an increasingly
more potent weapon - which justice
and fair play may be won in the eco
nomic realm. Once we are able to
establish the unit rule in opposing our
enemies, we will find that our friends
will miraculously multiply in what was
once regarded as enemy country.

cause and really. my dear, such an
honor!
The voting, as the hours passed and
closing time approached, grew more
and more animated. You might even
say 1t got hotter and hotter. In the
last hour the staid, influential citizen
ry were practically burned up with
enthusiasm. That enthusiasm, burning
merrily all those 80 days, now blazed
up like a prairie fire famed by 40
mile gale. And it swept S. E Larabie
INTO such an ecstasy that he, banker
Ike, having left his roll in his other
vault, borrowed $500 from E H. Irvine
and capped the climax by casting his
votes in the final moments of the con-
test. The canvasSed votes, 81 500 worth
OF those sweet l0-cent vouchers of
high esteem, gentlemen, deciding once
and for all time Miss Ella Irvine to be
the most popular young lady in all

The fair over, the town had to get
down to business. They couldn't wait
for the erection of the new building
with that prairie-fire still raging in
their veins.
The trustees rented the tWo-room
log structure known previously as the
hospital, building that may have fit
tingly enough been the first church in
Deer Lodge. They hired their corps Of
teachers: Prof. Clinton H. Moore prin-
