ERENCE IN WASHINGTON

Washington, d. c., April 18 -
On last Friday night at $40 p.
m. at the Mount Carmel Baptist
Church, in Washington, D. C. Sid
ney Hiilman, Associate Director
General, OPM., in making his adj
dress before The First Annual Con
ference on The Negro in Business,
called upon the interest of those
Negro business leaders as he said
in part: "As business men, as
leaders in your communities, as
members of one of this nations
largest and most loyal minority
groups, your interest in this vital
subject is obvious. America is
arming to defend democracy. And
we cannot defend democracy a
broad unless we extend and pres
erve democracy at home. We
can do this only if we practice de-
mocracy daily-by creating a truly
democratic way of life in our
schools, in our industrial plants, in
the communities in which we i've.

onal tidbits of confidential infor-
nation that are broadcast from
one person to another, it would be
good plan if we sat back and
asked ourselves the question:,
who are they '?"-If we look be-
yond the speaker to the source.
They" say Hitler is invincible.
They" say Stain is a shrewd
bargainer. "They" say Hitler
will never cross the ocean. They
say Japan will never fight us.
Rumor is like a grass fire start
ing from a spark dropped careless
ly, and blazing devastating track
across miles of unsuspecting
countryside. Herr Goebbels. that
sinister, sardonic left hand of Hit
Ter, is a past master in the art of
starting rumors and has boasted
with great pride of how he has
done more damage with his rum
ors than have all the armies.
Now when we are arming our
shores for national defense, when
we are building ships and making
arms, let us not forget this need
full defense measure. Let us set
watch up on our tongues and a
listening post at our ears. When
we hear a rash statement, let US
say to ourselves, "Who's 'they?'
What is the source? Whom does
it profit to have this story told?"
And then let us set guard upon
our tongues, so that we pass no
rumors, no facts, that we do not
know to be true. This is the first
law of defense and one which can
and should be carried out by ev-
cry citizen in our democracy.

1t is very interesting to see how

to either of two extremes. Some
will not believe anything without
proof. But there are others who
are gullible and will believe every
thing that they are told. The
time has come when we must nave
faith but it must be established

THE SUBJECT
OF
EMPLOYMENT
First of Five Articles on the
subject of Employment.
by III. ]. PINkETT
by II. J. PINKETT

According to the State Audit
or's report the Metropolitan It'll
tiles District during 1910 has 694
regular employees. Of that num-
her IL were Negroes, all of whom
were classified as unskilled lab
orers. A few of them, however,
we're doing clerical work, bur re-
ceiving the pay of unskilled work
ers.
The total paid in salaries by the
Metropolitan Utilities District in
1910 for wages, was $1,179, 1880.
The Negro workers received of
this sum 12,240.00, whereas they
should have received 69,381.35,
their proportionate share.
The colored population of Oni-
aha is 1-17th of the total populat-
ion. And based upon these figur-
es they should have 1-17th of the
regular employees given to them
by the Utilities District. If this
were done the number. of employ
ees of the colored group would be
30 instead of IL as at present.
The unfairness and injustice Of
this glaringly apparent on the
face of the figures and ought to
be corrected by the Directors of
the Utilities District.
Every Colored man,. woman and
child in the community cortribut-
es through the use of products off
the Utilities District such as wat
er and gas as are furnished by the
company, and as citizens and con-.
tributors to the enterprise they
should share in the employment
which it furnishes, and any dis
elimination against them in the
matter of employment by govern
melt agency is grossly unfai' and
denies to the colored people the
right to share equally with other
citizens in the fruits and benefits
that flow from Government.
They might very well begin to
eliminate this unjust situation by
employing a number of clerks and
G:echanics and meter readers from
the colored group.
1t may be that this matter has
not been presented to the Diree-
tors of the Metropolitan Utilities
District with sufficient clarity so
as to induce them to provide the
employment herein referred to.
Al. the directors are men of abil-
it! ard experience in impori,.nt
ways in business, professional and
community life, and it may we'll
be expected that when they shall
have examined the question pres
ented her, they will accord a full
measure of justice by way of en-
ployment to the colored popular-
ion. H. ]. Pinkett.

SOUTH CAROLINA COMITTEE
FAVORS SALARY RISE FOR
NEGRO TEACHERS

Columbia, S. c., April % (ANP)
Those Negro teachers who hold
college degrees will be given a
salary increase of $40 per month
if the recommendations of the
committee recently appointed to
make survey of salary differenc-
es among colored and white tea
chers, length of school terms,
transportation facilities and the
result of its study was submitted
Tuesday in a report to the general
assembly.
The committees report reveal
ed that the average salary of the
white teacher is 1888 annually,
while the Negro teacher receives
only 1891. The number of school
buses for white children is 1,644
and for the Negro children, eight.
The average length of the white
term is ITS days and the Negro
term is lat days.
From a study of these figures
the committee has reached the con
clusion that there are inequalities
in the expenditure of funds for ed
ucation in this state. The nature
and extent of this discrimination
is more difficult to ascertain---
"the committee report concludes.
