Mr.. Flowers, this has been due
to the very wise action of Little
Rock school teachers in pushing
the fight for equalization of pay.
The State Department of Edu-
cation, and particularly the Ne
gro supervisor of schools, have
united to fight any such moves,
Flowers feels confident however,
that there will be persons of cour-
age who will accept the challenge
of the times.
Dual System Expensive
One day the people of the
South will realize that the dual
system of education is expensive
Segregation is un-christian and
certainly undemocratie, and those
intolcrant hypocrites who occupy
public office after having swoln
to enforce and uphold the laws
will eventually come face to face
with the revolving spirit and fen
mcnting hatred which their ser
vice provides among Negro clti-
zens. 1t is now high time to call
for a setup of Negro administra-
tive officers that more assurance
of equal opportunities might be
expected
These are the thoughts express
ed by a fighting young lawyer,
whose only selfish interest in the
cause for which he is giving his
life, comes from an innate desire
to lose his life for his fellowmen.

COURTS CRACK

81 . tandancv of tha courts

Evidepce of tendency Of the courts
to crack down" on violators OF the
Wage and Hour law is seen in a sta
tistical review of operations Of the
Wage and Hour division, U. s. de-
partment OF labor, for the month OF
February, released today.
The review shows that the courts
levied a total of s76,830 In fines
against vio1ators in 81 cases out of a
total Of n that were disposed of dur
ing month. Fines amounting to $780,
900, in the cases OF five defendants,
were ordered suspended.
The record represents tremendous
increase in such action over the
month of January, when seven Of rs
cases resulted in $500 In fines, of
which one for $500 was suspended.
The February record also reveals
that the II cases handled resulted in
back wages restitution of 1901 ,020 for
5,018 employees. The January figures
for restitution were s134,61S for 4,503
employees.
1--WE look upon the February court
record as indication of the growing
tendency of the courts to make VIOLA
lions of the provisions of the Wage
and Hour Law more and more costly
for employers" said l. Metcalfe Wall
ing, administrator Of the Wage and
Hour division. 1.-THE law has been in
effect for more than three years, and
employers sincerely interested in OBJ
serving it have had sufficient time in
which to acquaint themselves with
their responsibilities"
