WASHINGTON, D. c.

senate education and labor
committee by Doctors Rob-
erts Carney, Ferrebe, Corn

Houston, t h e committee
hearing the national health
bill, more formally known as
the Wagner-George Health
bill, entirely ignored the
pleas of the group of Negroes
and omitted from their ap-
proved bill any specifications
which would assure Negroes
of fair and equal treatment
under the provisions of the
National Health act.
While the speakers at the hear
ings asked for the insertion in
amendments of phrases calculated
to assure Negroes Of admittance
and practice as we'll as equal pay
in states where Negroes would be
employed, the committee ignored
this plea and i'll their report just
made public asserted:
disqualification would be as

ESSAY ON
INDIA
BY DELOIS THOMPSON
(18O7 E. Madison street,

India's history in the light OF
this new India Act. is an important
consideration, dating from 1000
BIC. India's history is represented
by a long series Ct invasions, each
contributing 4 different element.
The vegetation of India Is varied
as its soil and climate, passing from
Flora of the tropics to that of an
Alpine region. Its animals are COWS,
buffalo, goat. Geer, bears, Wild
hogs, tigers, leopards, elephant and
rhinoceros, which are found prin-
cipally in the jungle upland re-
gionS.
India's chief cities and poprla-
ton in 1881 and SO were Calcutta,
l,419,312; Delhi, 477<22; Lahore,
429, ,747, and Rallgoon, 400,415. The
chief industry in India is agricul-
ture-rice, wheat, Jute, maze, opium,
coffee, tea, mustard, tobacco ana
rubber are the most important. The
Indus River dam OF northern India
and .wo other projects in Madrow
ard Bengal, made possible the ir-
rigation OF otherwise barren SOIL
and helped to modernize Indian
methods of agriculture. India has
great mineral resources proceeding
large quantities Of coal, copper,
iron, lead, manganeal, salt and gold
Their most precious stones are ru-
bles. diamonds AID granite, India In
1934-'35 was the scene of two ma
ior catastrophes, an earthquake in
northern Bihar, and one In the
Valley of Baiucnistan; each OF
these areas was devastated. India's
work in art started about the 3rd
century B.C) aid has become very
brilliant. Their work in architec-
ture and designing has become one
! OF the most important activities
India has had.
Their means OF transportation is
very inconvenieEt compared to
those in America. In earlier days,
Indians travelled by the caravan and
on horseback. India is also known
for it's Hindu magic. Some tribes
still worship these idols and Hindu
gods, but very few. India is known
the world over for its beautiful
buildings and temples. The most
exquisite of themis the Toy Mahal,
the Gait, and the great temple o.
Buddh Gaya. These buildings
have been in India for many CEN
turies. But to the people of India,
they must give thanks to GOD for
these beautiful articles.

Civil Rights
Confab Pledges
Fight For Race

WASHINCION-(ANP) - The
rights and liberties Of minority
groups in America was the sub
ject Of speeches and discussion at
the Civil Rights conference here
which discussed civil rights Of labor
and of Negroes.
Regarding the Negro, one OF the
resolutions adopted read:
Almost four score years ago, In
one of the darkest hours in their
history, the American people VOW
ed with a great leader that these
dead shall not have died in vain. y
But the principles of equality
and freedom ale even yet not fully
established for the great grandchil-
dren of those whom Lincoln freed
from chattel slavery.
DENIED FULL RIGHTS
1.-The Negro people today are still
denied equal opportunity to work
and live in most sections of our
country. In some sections they suf-
fer cruel persecution, especially
when they try to exercise the rights
granted them under the 18th, 18th
and 18th amendments to our con-
stitution.
''In one sovereign state, Negro
children were recently ordered tc
learn the duties and rights of citi-
zenship from special textbooks
specially edited to delete all ref
erence to the right of suffrage.
1.-The depression years have borne
down with double weight on The
Negro people. They have been the
first to lose their jobs and theii
farms, the last 10 receive even q
small trickle from increasing ma
tional income. They have been dis
eliminated against by relief au-
thorities of many communities
Their housing facilities are the
poorest. their schools the most in
adequate, their medical care the
most neglected.
"a people which has contributed
it's labor, it's songs, its laughter
its rich culture to the physical
and spiritual capital of America
must daily suffer indignities anc
affrcnts. Even here, in the nation Is

Files Case To
Test 10 Cents
Red Cap Charge

CINCINNATI-(A N P)-Miss
Ida M Stopher of Cincinnati,
Thursday filed a formal complaint
before the Interstate Commerce
commission against the Cincinnati
Union Terminal company protest
ing the payment of a 1Oc charge
for the handling of baggage by a
red cap employe of the terminal
company. In her complaint, Miss
Stopher asked that the company
be ordered to answer charges of
violations of various sections of
the Interstate Commerce act.
Miss Stopher, who had purchas-
ed a ticket from Cincinnati to
indianapolis, in her complaint
stated that, 'tShe had been subject
ed to the payment of rates, fares
or charges for transportation which
were exact and still are, Cd unjust
and unreaSonably in violation of
Section of the Interstate Gem
merce act; ca unjustly discrimi-
natory in violation of Section 2;
90 unduly preferential or prejudi-
cial in violation of Section 8; Cd il
legal failure to publish a tariff
in violation of Section l; 60 il
legal as a surcharge extortiop for
which defendant was already paic
ht thetme EleietaoiCtEl:e
at the time of the purchase of the
ticket"
TEST CASE
The complaint seeks TO test the
! legality of the recent plan of a .lOc
charge placed upon passengers by
railroads for the handling of lug
! gage by red caps. The plan has
been instituted in Cincinnati, Chi
cago, st. Louis, washington, Pitts
burgh and Baltimore. Recent in
| dications show that the plan will
be instituted throughout Vhe ma
ton.
Miss Stopher's complaint stat
ed that UNITED States Judge Flor
ence Allen of the Circuit Court of
appeals for the sixth district, dur
ing the NOR th of February, 194G,
protested to the defendant that
the change was illegal and the de-
fendant inferential admitted its
illegality, waived the charge as to
suit cases carried by her. e"
Resulting from a long contro-
versy between the railroads and
the red caps union before the
Wage and Hour administration
ever tine use Of tips to meet mini
mum wages requirements, the car
rier5 adopted the Zoe charge Plan,
which, it is alleged. will be used to
pay the Sec an hour minimum to
red caps.
HIGH COST
The growth of popular sentiment
against The int. cdu.tion Of the
new system is seen in the IoIllld'
tion OF a "Stu1ents Committee
Against the High, C,.:t of Rail-
road Travel" at the University OF
Chicago. A statement issued joint
ly by Chairman P,oy Mel and Sec
retary Sarah Eichman of the COM
mittee declared, "We hail the
payment of wages to red caps as an
advance in their right for Sc
curity, but we feel that the bIrden
should remain on the broad Should
ers of the railroads and not shifted
to the public, of which, the kmeri-
can student is very important
part
The committee endorsed the &c
ton of Miss Stopher in filing her
complaint before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. and an
nounced plans to institute q nA-
tional campaign behind this action
against the Cincinnati Union Ter.
