short leaves of absence to employ
ees requiring additional time for
planting and harvesting on the
small farms they operate on part
time basis while working in factor
les and mills.

Equal preference with the Army

BUY WAR BONDS AND help The 3RD WAR loan
Majority Or Minority
BY Ruth Taylor

wish it were possible to eradi-
cate those two words from the Eng
lish language-but unfortunately, if
one could do this, other words would
be thought up to express the same
idea.
There should really be no place for
such discriminatory words in a de-
mocracy. And, mind you, they are dis
criminatory, and of themselves Great
ing bad feHing and prejudice.
Majorities feel that their very num-
bers entitle them to supreme power,
Chat their interests as a group must
come first. Minorities too often place
the privilege of their group before the
rights of all citizens. In both cases
far too frequently those rise to the
top, to positions of power, who seek
personal aggrandizement and who by
their actions hurt the group which
they claim to represent.
The majority looks upon the minor
ity as not quite as they are-some-
thing different from the herd-and
they don't like that. Minorities for
their part too often have a chip on
their shoulder When banded togeth-
er for "self protection" they become
a powerful pressure force which is
often irritating to the majority. And
much too frequently both sides forget
that they are Americans, governed by
the m law, and subject to the
same responsibility.
This is true whether the difference
be of political party, class, religion
or color-and in each Of those groups
there are minorities and maiorities.
Sumner Wells called the term "rac-
ial or religious Minority" accursed.
And ne was right, though he could
have added class to the list. It is
the whole idea Of segregation a d
separation Of people int groups,
treating them generally not .divid-
ually that we are fighting today. In
the brave new world which hone
VIII come after this war, let i guarc
against group thi1king. Lei us re-.
member that we are all citiz rs of q
nation, and citizens Of wor Of u
nitea Nations. For as Mr.. We.les al.
SO said, "It is inconceivable hat the
people Of the United States can con-
sent to the re-establishment of any
system where human beings will still
be regarded as belonging to such mi
norities."
Let US majority and minority
work together as individuals regard
less of the group from which we
come. Let us accept our persona
responsibilities and fulfill them be
fore we start fighting bout oul
rights. Let US prove what we are
. forgetting whether we be minority ol
majority Just let US only be-A
merieans all.

Washington
By Virginia Gardner

WESTINGHOUSE. James O..
Eastland Cd. Miss.) says there was
absolutely no deal made for the
northern Republicans to support the
southern Democrats in voting against
c1oture when HR 7 comes up, in ex-
change for their support in killing
the Lucas-Green soldiers vote bill.
II know for fact no such deal
was made," he told me solmenly.
1t was as if he wanted to convince
me; he repeated it. HR Z, the Mar
cantOniO bill, which passed the
House and was reported out of
committee in the Senate, would
free 10 million white and Negro
workers in the south to vote who
now are disfranchised by pOll-tax
requirements set up by states.
How was it, I asked, that senator's
from poll tax states joined the Re-
publicans against the Lucas-Green bill
when it might mean defeat for the
Democratic party in 1914?
"Do you know what's going to de-
feat the Democratic party?" he ask
ed, after making sure l represented
the labor press. Labor Your demands
are running the Democratic party with
agriculture.
"You mean because labor is for
subsidies and against infation?"
He smiled and waved a hand.
'What's inhation?" he asked con-
temptuously.
SThen you think the Democratic
party will be defeated?"
mo, I don't say that" he said. II
think it has more strength than it's
shown. Your national ALL. and
CLIO. are fighting the SOUTH" he went
on, "But do you think labor in the
south is against the poll-tax?"
81 know it is" l said. "Why would
Mt it be?"
By this time the senator from the
rich delta cotton plantation section
of the Mississippi was apparently
pretty angry. ''The Democratic
party" he said, couldn't exist
W1tnOut inc SOutne Anu what are
you labor folks trying to do? Why,
you are trying to force race equal
ity on us. We're not a-going to

l pointed out to the enraged white
supremacy advocate that some of la
boris best friends were southerners.
I pointed to the leadership of Claude
Pepper Cd. Fla.) in the fight for the
Lucas-Green bill. "He was the only
one for it," he grumbled. Then I men
toned the way the face of the south

Firm Penalized
For Wage Cuts
Theatre Reduced Pay Of
Operators Contrary To
Sterilization Law

BOSTON-In the first finding of
its kind in New England and one of
the first in the nation, the enforce
ment division of the New England
War Labor Board has found that a
Boston theater violated wage stabil-
ization laws by illegally reducing the
wages of four motion picture ma
chine operators, Allan A. Topper,
regional W.L.B. attorney, announced
this week.
The finding was made against
Allied Amusements, Inc, operators
of the Majestic Theater, fremont
Street, Boston, which, the division
found, decreased the weekly rate
of operators from $83 to about SIS
during June and July of this year
without W.L.B. approval and con-
trary to the provisions of the wage
sterilization law and the various
orders and regulations issued under
it.
The Board recommended that the
entire amount of wages illegally paid,
totalling $1,73640, be considered as
the amount on which economic sane
tons are to be applied against the
company. Under the law the sanctions
may include disallowance of this
amount in figuring the company's
taxes under internal revenue laws.
