Hy MARY MCLEOD BETHUNE
President, National Council of
Negro Women

Day by day, two out of every five
Negro women in America have to
leave home to go to work, whereas
onlv two out of every eight white
women face this daily grind.
In normal times, nearly 100000
Negro women go out to work in the
kitchens of other women's homes,
in over-heated steam-filled laun-
dries. in canneries, in cotton fields
and in factories They accept these
hard, unpleasant, low-paying jobs
not because they like to work more
than their white sisters, but BE-
CAUSE OF THE LOW INCOME
OF NEGRO MEN.
This need to supplement the fam
lily income in order to keep alive is
one of the greatest handicapS to
the race in the struggle for full
citizenship and the American STAN
dard of living. AS long as our
mothers must neglect their chill
dren in order to feed them, we will
have a high juvenile delinquency
rate
COMMUNITY BLIGHTED
The whole social structure of the
Negro community is blighted by
this economic necessity. Our health
standards suffer Our opportunities
for elf-development and educa-
ton are curtailed. The stability of
our family life is undermined. Our
moral and physical stamina are
impaired.
"The public must pay dearly for
the standard working and living
conditions of manv thousands of
Negro women workers." a publica-
ton Of the Women's Bureau of the
u. S. Department of Labor asserts
when people have no jobs or their
wages are too low for adequate
support, they still must have food
shelter, and clothing. -. Expert
ence has shown further that low
living standards are costly in that
they breed crime and disease,
which affect all citizens"
This is the social price we are
compelled to pay to keep on living
in society which, though able
seems unwilling to pay our men
sufficient wages to enable them to
maintain a decent standard of liy-
ing for their families Aware of
this condition, the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations has launched
nationwide drive on two fronts to
correct this evil: one, through the
maintenance of take-h o me pay
which has been cut 80 per cen
since the war ended; and the 9TH
er, through raising the hourly min
imum wage to IS cents.

Storage Tank Failure Held

CLEVELAND. July 25.-Structural
failure of the East Ohio Gas Co.'S
huge cylindrical storage tank for

disastrous fire last October 20 which
brought death to l30 persons, Cor

yesterday.
The coroner presented Mayor
Thomas A. Burke with a voluminouS
report of the holocaust, which
caused an estimated $4,000, 900 dam
age and devastated 20 acres of fac
tories and dwellings. Mayor Burke
headed a master board of inquiry
seeking the cause of the disaster.
The report said the Pittsburgh
DeS Moines Steel Co., which built
the gas storage tanks, erred in
judgment in use of materials and
type of storage reservoir to hold
the gas.
A committee of technical con-
Sultants turned in a report of their
findings to Mayor Burke, saying
'the location of the gas company
plant was poorly chosen in view of
