WAGE DIFFERENTIALS

Wage differentials based on rae

of the Negro worker and under
mine the bargaining power of the
white. The decision rendered by
Federal Judge W. Calvin Chestnut
in Bait more requiring the payment
of the same salaries to Negro
school teachers as to white is a
victory in the fight for wage equal
ity.
1t will also aid in the establish
ment of greater educational equal
ity for Negroes in the South. The
Maryland Teachers association and
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People de-
serve great credit for the fight
they waged to win the Chestnut
decision. What has happened in

THE HEADW ALTERS
NATIONALITY

We have been reading a rather
he" book on mixture and inter
marriage of races, which brings to
our mind a story l heard several
years ago.
A very intelligent man entered
the dining room of a large hotel
and was shown to his table by a
stately looking Negro man.
AS the menu was being present
ed to the guest he looked inquisi-
lively at the headwaiter and in
quired as to his nationality. Quite
nonchalantly the headwaiter re-
piled, 81 do not know Why?
Because my father married a

AMERICANS-ALL

Gunner Myrdil, professor in the
University of Stockholm, Sweden,
who has been. travelling in this
country, making an extensive study
of Negro life in America, told me
very interesting story in an in
terview last week.
1t seems that on his sojourn in
Georgia, studying conditions in
that state, he stopped in Morgan
county to visit a rural Negro
school.
To test the intellectual ability of
the children, ages six to sixteen, he
asked them several questions. Some
of which were: What is the Con-
stitution of the United States?
Who is President of the United
States? To the above two ques-
lions they knew nothing. When
asked who was Booker T. Wash
ington, they thought he might be
President, and of course he was a
white man. Walter White and the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People was
unheard of.

Drive to Enroll
Girls In Machine
Course Wins

The efforts of the Minneapolis
Urban League to make it possible
for Negro girls to enroll in voca-
tional training courses on the basis
of their choice and aptitude is
meeting with success, the Urban
League office said Wednesday. On
last Monday Roberta Singer, 1924
4th Ave. S., was admitted to a class
in power machine operation at Mill
er Vocational School. Miss Singers
enrolment in this class is signifi-
cant because in the minds of Voca-
tional School officials the idea has
persisted that to train Negroes for
occupations in which they are not
already engaged in large numbers
is futile.
The Urban League has disagreed
with this policy, pointing out that
Notwithstanding the general unem-
ployment situation the occupation
al distribution of Negroes has made
tremendous increases during the
past twenty years.
c. W. Washington, executive sec
rotary of the Urban League, has
had numerous conferences within
recent months with officials of the
international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union regarding the at
titude of that organization toward
Negro membership.
Although the union has made no
official statement on this matter
the fact that Miss Singer has been
admitted to a class that was set up
at the request of committee rep
resenting both employers and the
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1940-01-12

bert. Part three closed with "Che-
vauchee Cosaque" by Foundrain, a
delightful Cossack number.
Among the encores was the very
beautiful Passing By" by Edward
Purcell and ITO People Who Have
Gardens" by Helen Hopekirk, a
Scottish air.
During the first part of the re-
cital, Mr.. Hayes announced that he
would sing, for his friend, James
Davies, who could not be there,
Schubert's "Wohin." 1t was a
requiem because at almost the
same hour it was being sung, DR..
Davies died.
The song that impressed me
most was the touching simplicity
and reverence of "Were You
There" sung in the almost death
like stiffness of the theater with no
piano and just the beautiful tones
of this great tenor. 1t was a priv
ilege to be able to hear a concert so
fine,
