Negro Best Unionist
Author States

NEW YORK (CNA)-A strong
plea for trade union unity and the
abolition of color bars in the labor
movement is made by DR.. Rather
inc D. Lumpin in her new book,
1.-THE South in Progress" just COM
pleted in collaboration with the
Labor Research Association. DR..
Lumpkin is a native white south
erner and the co-author with Dor
othy Douglass of the standard
work on child labor, Child Work
ers in America"
In a chapter on Problems of
Trade Unionism," DR.. Lumpkin re-
views the special features of the
southern trade union developments
and especially the Importance of
the Negro as union man. Her
book gives concrete examples of
the ways in which color lines have
recently been broken down in the
fires of the trade union battle
against the common exploiter. She
quotes white southern organizer of
the Steel Workers Organizing Cor
poration, CLIO, as saying: when
a Negro joins union, he means
it i. the best unionist I have ever
seen is the Negro union man."

reported trying to sign Paul Ro-

singer, to sing Ballad for Ameri-

Robson caused a nationwide
sensation by his excellent rendi-
ton of the ballad several months
ago over the Columbia Broadcast
ing System. The CHS studios were
flooded with so many letters and
kilograms praising Robeson's ar
tistry that the radio chain had the
performance repeated several
weeks later.

White Walters Back
Fight on Bias Pay

MINNEAPOLIS Especial to
CNA) - IF the Negro walters
lose, we will lose Also"
This is the feeling that perme-
ates the ranks of white hotel and
restaurant workers in Minneapolis
as the Negro Walters, Local 614,
served notice upon the manage
ment of the Curtis Hotel that eth
er the same wage be paid Negro
walters as white workers receive
- 80 cents an hour = or a strike
will be called at the hotel. Negro
walters are now receiving rs cents
an hour.
The management of the Curtis,
the one hotel in town that en-
ploys Negro walters exclusively,
has for some time been paying less
than the scale and as the men
have separate local and are a mi
nority, they have not felt strong
enough to challenge the manage
ment. However, the militant
Miscellaneous Workers Union. +"
Local 665, is now backing them in
the fight. Help has also been
pledged by all A. F. of L. locals
having workers in the building.

Mississippi Governor
Defends Jim Grow Bill

JACKSON, Miss. (CNA) JOHN
ing the Mississippi Senate in its
open expression of contempt for
the federal Constitution and the
rights of the Negro people, Gov.
Johnson said this week he would
ignore the threat of the American
Civil Liberties Union to test con-
stitutionality of the jim-crow mea-
sure passed by the State Senate
providing separate civics text
books for Negro and white pupils
in the first and eight grades.
Under the bill it would be pos
sible to designate special civics
books for Negro children which
would eliminate any instruction in
the principles of voting. The bill
passed by vote of 81 to 9. The
Senate also voted to keep free
textbooks for Negroes in separate
warehouses.

Tenn. Teachers Win
Equal Salary Fight

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. An
nouncement by officials of the To-
cal school board that $14,700 has
been added to the 1910 budget to
equalize the salaries of Negro and
white teachers in the schools
chalked up another victory for the
Negro Teachers League here.
Since 1888 the league, through
its salary committee and its poll
tax and voting committee, has
been fighting to equalize the sal
aries of Negro and white teachers
in the public schools.
AS a direct result of the inten-
sive campaign carried on by these
two committees the salaries of
Negro teachers were increased
from level equaling rs per cent
of white teachers salaries to 80
per cent in August, 1896.
