TUSKEGEE - CAMP - Tuske-
gees Negro citizens faced the sharp
retaliation of whites here, OCTOBER
Q and 10, official registration days,
when they found the doors OF the
local registration Office in the court
house building closed.
In an about effort to break down
the barrier which has prohibited
Negroes in this community from OBJ
tanning any degree OF political
power, civic organizations urged all
citizens to pay their poll tax and
register. The drive grew out OF the
recent William Mitchell case which
came up in the federal district
court, Montgomery, September 20.
Mitchell. an employe of the Vete-
rams administration. Tuskegee, filed
suit because he had tallegedly been
refused proper registration certi-
ficate by the Tuskegee board OF
registration. The defense Macon
county, Ala.,) claimed among 9TH
er things, that Mitchell had not
made proper use of the lower court
in Tuskegee. Ala. before going to
a higher one.
FORCED TO WAIT
On Wednesday, many were given
leave from their jobs to register
However, when they reached the
court house they could find no signs
or obtain any Information as to
where the registering was being
held. It was reported that the few
who registered were forced to wait
in the lobby for several hours until
some whites entered. Then closely
following them, they found the
officers registration room and en-
tered with the others.

Something About The Sixty-Five Cent Wage

One of the most important matters before the Congress
the United Sates at this time aside from the problem
of the Atomic Bomb is the issue the calling
for a raise in the lowest salary at which should be
made required to work from the present forty cents
hour to sixtyfive cents hour That the has
assumed such great Importance not alone because or
the widespread economic and social Implications contained
in the but also because of the powerful influences
mainly among the congressional membership in opposition
to the measure. And when it to consideration of
the DC rfu influences among the congressional member
ship with the craftsmanship of most of the important
mtee both in the house and senate and in the powerful
positions of the Presidency of the Senate and Speaker of
the House. is at apparent that the most of the
power and influence in the congress is in the hands of the
members from the South.
From the point of view of its economic and social
Implications and affects il difficult to understand how
anyone in out of congress with mind to improve the
status of the southern both white and Negro
could be opposed what appears be much needed and
not unreasonable increase the floor Much of the
blame for conditions in the South of which all intelligent
Souheners is the low income of the south
ern masses both agricultural and industrial workers. To
fix the minimum wage at sixy-ve cents hour would
increase of millions of dollars annually in the
hands of these groups which in turn would vastly stimulate
business in the south by enabling members of these groups
buy many of the necessities of life which they cannot
buy the forty cents an hour wage.
It may be pretty generally pointed out that in most
cases throughout the nation that employers have vountar
y raised the wages to higher level but in the South
during the boom period OF war industrial expansion IN
large areas of employment Negro workers never
given the benefits of voluntary raise in the forty cent
wage scale The Importance of the sXtyve cent hour
increase, as it will affect the economic and social
conditions in the south lies largely in its affect in mprov
ing the economic and social conditions among Negroes,
belonging almost wholly to the working and form
ing one fourth of the population of the south
In commenting the bill this week Rep. Kilday OF
Texas stating that umbermen and farmers and others
depending unsked labor afraid of the boost in
wages it would lure too many workers to factories
and thus leave them shorthanded perhaps unwittingly
revealed the main of against the BILL and
since Negro workers form the largest group of unsklled
workers in the SOUTH again. perhaps unwttngy reveals
of %
Negro worker much Importance in the opposition to
the BILL
Again. again, and again. it must needs to bepointed
out that it will be impossible to raise the standards of life
and living in the south without raising the standing of
