Lack Of Trained
Men in Industry
Cited as Result
BY JOHN H. THOMPSON

HOUSTON3(A N P)-Racket-
eering among both CLIO and AF of
l. Unions in this state is seriously
hindering defense work, C. w.
Rice, militant labor leader and
editor of the NEGRO Labor News,
solo Negro labor paper, declared
in two of a series of editorials in
his paper
Mr.. Rice has recently completed
AN extensive tour of the state in
the interest of labor and according
to him finds racketeering rampant
on numerous defense projects. His
editorials declare that unions are
charging workers, both union and
non-unions, enormous sums to join
locals and that these sums are
pocketed by the organizers.
Said the article Labor bosses
and racketeers from the overwork-
ed territories of the North and
East, are shifting their headquart-
ers to this state and mapping plans
to control the defense industries
here and. will organize all other
industries. -. The defense projects
will be the arsenal through which
the unions and racketeerS will gee
control of other industries"
UNIONIZATION NECESSARY
Rice further contends that the
National Labor Relations act al
most made it necessary for =
worker to join a union to work ut
a legal occupation He says that
union workers represent about 20
percent of the workers Of the state
and are forcing contractors to
sign contracts to use all union la
Dor, both skilled and un-skilled. -
though they are unable to furnish
enough Of either for their men,
bership."
Citing Camp Wallace, near CAL
weston, Rice said in his editorial
that often workers who have paid
from 1916 to 5000 to join unions
are fired as soon as they have
earned enough to pay their union
dues" Even union men with paid
up cards from other towns, though
their union is a national one, are
being made to pay to join the To-
cal unions, he charged.
Going still further the editorial
stated that labor leader in Gal
weston had made enough the first
two weeks, under the new rulings
set up by local court, to buy a
car, home and vacant lot and al
ways carry a large roll of money

South May Ask
Federal Aid To
Pay Teachers
Bv ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS

Last week, for the first time IN
history, city. county, and state ed
ucation boards of 10 southern
states. sought ways and means OF
complying with the recent decision
cf the u. S. Supreme court-that
colored teachers in public schools
must be paid salaries equal 70
those of white instructors doing
similar work.
From reliable sources it was
learned that the pay increase wouio
cost 10 state governments more
than 10 million dollars annually
and that federal aid may be neces-
sary if the ruling is to be complied
with. soon. In both states and To-
cal districts, 1t was said the pay
increase to colored teachers would
vary, but the salaries Of some
would be upped as high as $5oO.
Average increase per teacher woulo
be about 5000, it was estimated.
In Nashville, B. o. Duggan,
State Commissioner of Educatlon,
stated that the decision would not
greatly affect Tennessee, as the
state Board of Education based its
salary scales on training and ex-
perience, made no distinction be-
tween white and colored teachers.
Local districts in a few cOuntles
might be affected, he said.
In Virginia. where Richmond,
alone. faces an increase of $25OO0O
in its teachers budget, no State
program has been planned. Each
city. town and county must solve
it's problems of teachers salaries'
it was explained.
In other states, estimates OF an
nual costs of complying with the
ralarv ruling and steps taken to-
ward conformance are as follows:
Alabama-$20O,0 600. Will be met
from increased revenue from eX-
isting taxes.
Arkansas-SS75,00 900. No program.
Florida-$1, $50, 900. No program.
Georgia-$900, 900. No program.
/ Louisiana--$l 100000. NO program.
Mississippi-$1 $50. GOO. No program

PROHIBIT TRADES
TRAINING

Citing the fact that labor un-
ions have barred Negroes from
their rolls over a long period of
time, Rice said they have prohibit
ed school boards from setting up
vocational schools or the Negroes
who desire training at trades.
Speaking of the lack of trained
men in unions today, Mr. Rice said
chat defense jobs throughout the
country are calling for men with
high skills in various trades; there
is a definite shortage; we do have
many Negroes who are capable OF
filling these jobs but they are bar
red from securing them because
they cannot join lily-white m-
ion; schools throughout our state
and perhaps the country, are CIV
ing Negro youth training, not in
skilled trades but in the SEMI
skilled and unskilled trades"
Workers on the various projects
in Texas are required to join un-
ions but are not asked to attend
meetings, Rice charged. And. ac-
cording to him, labor in this state
is puzzled, is asking the question:
why is it necessary to join un-
