SCHOOL FUNDS
LESS IN SO

OLYMPIA-Common schools of
Washington during the year ended
July 1 received less money from
the state treasury than last school
year, despite a $4,000 extra gift
from the 1899 legislature. records
OF State School Superintendent
Stanley +. Atwood showed today.
For the school year just ended
they received S12.S51,5 43 in state
support from the sales and bust
ness taxes. A year ago it was
s13.71s.63e.
In addition to this they got
N,l29.57s this year in state equal
ization money from the general
fund, the same As the above
compared to S599, s53 for the pre-
ceding school year.

year ago for each month and
$112, 900 a month the past year.
The increases in the state and
county equalization grants were
not big enough to offset the nearly
4 million-dollar drop in the schools
share of the sales tax. They ex-
pect to fare better next school
year because the legislature in
creased their share of the sales tax
dollar from ~ to So per cent and
added some new revenue sources
under the sales tax,
Summed up. the common schools
got about half million less from
the state the past year. Under

state is supposed to furnish enough
money to pay schools 20 cents a
day for each student attending. A
year ago they got 22.S cents and
this year 1t dropped to 20.3 cents.

Fire Worker for
Protest Against
Jim Crow Signs

NEW YORK, June (CNA) -
George L. Gillespie, Underwater
of 1922 Fulton St., Brooklyn, who
was recently fired from his $18 a
week job of serving selected guests
of Standard Brands, Inc, at the
New York Worlds Fair, will not
be taken back, according to pres
ent indications, in spite of the fact
that he was given to understand
by Col. Snapp, in charge of the
Standard Brand exhibit, that he
would be.
Gillespie was discharged two
weeks ago following his protest
against jim crow signs on doors of
the dressing rooms for the 40
Negro employees of Standard
Brands, Inc, at the Fair. Col. and
Mrs. Snapp, white Southerners, are
said to have resented the youths
complaint about separate dressing
rooms for the Negro and white
workers. There are approximate
ly 200 whites employed on the ex-
hibit.
Col. Snapp was quoted as telling
Gillespie that he had ordered the
jim crow signs put up and that re-
CARELESS of what Gillespie thought
about it the signs would stay up.
They were hastily removed, how
ever, when a Daily Worker re-
porter and Investigators of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People inquired
about them.

Brewing Company
Official to Talk
With st. PauliteS

What his company can do to en-
ploy Negroes will be discussed at a
meeting with business and profess
sional people Wednesday, June Fl,
by L. C. Gydesen, representing the
Jacob Schmidt Brewery, in the Hal
lie Q. Brown House at 8 p. m.
The meeting has been arranged
by the st. Paul Urban League with
the cooperation of the business and
professional group headed by Mel
son Martin.
The Company was requested to
send a representative who could
speak authoritatively on employ
ment policies and possibilities at
the plant.
For a long time the citizens of
St. Paul have been expressing an
interest in the employment policies
of firms which receive a large
amount of business from the col
ored community, according to the
Urban League.
The league pointed out recently
that perhaps many companies are
willing to give employment in re-
turn for patronage, if they can be
sure of the cooperation of the COM
munity after openings are made.
During the summer months con-
sumption of beverages rises and
usually there is an accompanying
rise in employment.
