N. O. Teachers
Laying Plans For
Equal Pay Fight

NEW ORLEANS, La.--(SNS)-A
group of teachers here who are
greatly interested in equalizing the
salaries paid to Negro and white
teachers, are prepared to initiate a
test case in the courts.
With this IDEAL in mind, the local
group invited Thurgood Marshall,
special counsel for the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People in New York, to
confer with them over the week.
end. March 1915, and advise on
legal procedure to obtain their OBJ
jective.
The New orleans teachers, in
planning their action, considered
the successful legal action of the
NAACP. in Maryland and Virginia,
and the legal case which has start
ed already III the State Of Florida.
They bear in mind, also, the fact
that the legislature of South Caro-
lima has agreed to consider the
equalization of tearhers' salaries;
ond that the legislature of Ala
bama recently passed bill eualiZ-
ing minimum salaries in the state.
From this time forward, both Ne
gro and white teachers will start
at the same minimums in Alabama.
The New Orleans teachers also
have studied the recent decision
of the Louisville, KY, school board
to equalize salaries in that city.
Mr.. Marshall advised with the
group. Legal action by the NAACP

u. S. Chamber
Urged To Rap
Discrimination

NEW YORK-(SNS)-The United
States Chamber of Commerce, To-
Gated in Washington, d. C. has
been urged "at the earliest practi-
{ cable date to go officially and un-
equiVocally on record against al
discrimination in employment on
account of race, creed, or color" by
Walter White, secretary of the N.
A. A. C. P.
Mr.. White made the request In
a letter to F. Stuart Fitzpatrick,
head of the Civic Development De-
Mi. Whites action was the re-
suit of information which came tc
the NAACP that the Indiana Cham
ber of Commerce wos opposing a
DILL in the state legislature which
would operate against unions which
discriminate against Negroes,
In response to a. protest on this
alleged action, the United States
Chamber of Commerce replied, thru
its president, James S. Kemper that
it cid not have any authority over

Duce' S Rout
Accomplished
By Africans

ETHIOPIA, -(HNS) - The
devastating Italian defeats in Afri-
ca that began earlier in Libya are
continuing with the Fascist hordes
of Mussolini being rapidly swept
backward through Ethiopia. Autho-
ritative military observers conf
dently predict that in the course Of
the next few weeks, the Italians
will not only have lost their tenn
porary foothold in Ethiopia, but
will more than probably lose
Italian Somaliland, as we'll.
Even more important than the
news Of the italian defeats in
Africa is dramatic behind-the-
headlines story that most of the
white war correspondents stationed
with the armies here are well
aware Of, but which they pointedly
refrain from cabling TO their white
edited and white-controlled papers.
Several weeks ago, the editor On
American affairs for the Negro
News Syndicate pointed out thai
whatever white European power
emerged victor in the present con-
flict in Africa, in the long run it
might be found that while a war
had been won, Africa itself had
been lost to its white overlordS'
The rapid march of current events
in Africa points to the ultimate
truth of that prediction. Recent

brought the situation to a head.
Important native leaders IN
ETHIOPIA, and elsewhere through
out Africa, have been quick to OBJ

present fight in Africa has been
played up in the white press

fighters serving under British col

italians who raped their rich land,
stole their properties, murdered
their wives and children.
Patriotic, nationalistic Ethiopians
