tains no safeguard against arbi-
trary action on the part of the local
agents nor does it make any pro-
vision for appeal from their deci-
sion.

torial power" the NAACP warned
the President, which the unscru-
pulous and bigoted would not hest
tate to use to rivet, in virtual
peonage, Negroes to a county with
out regard as to whether such Ne
groes were engaged in essential or
unessential agriculture" The
NAACP further pointed out that
this would make the national farm
labor mobilization program depend
ent upon the determination of
individual county agents and would
reduce chances of effective mobili-
ty of farm workers.

Veto Is Urged On
Farm Labor Bill

WASHINGTON, d. (SNS)-
President Roosevelt was urged this
week by the NAACP to veto the
House Joint Resolution SO which
provides that workers cannot be
transported outside of county
without prior consent in writing by
the County's agriculture extension
agent.
The NAACP charged that the
bill is inconsistent with the whole
attitude of the Administration in
that it provides that no part of its
appropriation shall be used to fix
MINIMUM wages, hours, or housing
standards for workers, thus with
drawing all protection from work.

BY PERCY GREENE

F'ARSIH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: According to the article
| in the jackson Daily News last
Monday, and Judging from the
conversation that 1 have had, and
heard, that's a real high class
bunch of fellows in Uncle Sans
Army stationed out at the Flora
Ordnance Plant. One thing how
ever, that has been the subject of
a great deal of talk is the fact
that most of the fellows out there
are Northern boys and of course
do not understand our Southern
customs, and frankly speaking
there has been some concern ex-
pressed here and there less their
lack of understanding of our
southern customs will provoke
some more or less unpleasant in
cldents when the start visiting
jackson, which, I hear. will be
sometime this Or next week. Per-
sonally, I don believe there need
be such a fear, because of the
educational and intelligence
standards are as high among the
fellows out there as everything
seems to indicate. it might just as
well be assumed that they know as
much about our Southern customs
as we do. and being educated and
intelligent it might better be
assumed that they have high ap-
probation for, and understanding
of the old adage about ''WHEN
IN ROME DO AS ROMANS DO"
Because Of the delicacy of the
present situation when can do the
boys at Flora, the community, and
cause of race relations real
service, by pointing ou the better
side of Negro life and relationships
here, and the wisdom contained in
the old adage, WHEN IN ROME
DO AS ROMANS DO

Q, Is the plan merely an expert
ment or is it likely to prevail until
the war is won?
A. While the plan Is different
than any which has been tried
before, II can hardly he regarded
rs an experiment. II puts into
effect certain practices and pro-
cedures that government agencies,
labor and industry, long have re-
garded as necessary. II is expect
ed that II not only will prevail
during the full course of the emer-
gency, but probably will he adopt
ed by other industrial centers

specified, be accepted?
A. The purpose behind the plan

therefore more efficient.
O. In case an employer refuses
to grant a request for transfer
