Superintendent,
Board Held In
Civil Contempt
Several Teachers
To Receive $1,000
To $4,000 Back Pa,

NEWPORT NEWS, Va.-(ANP)
The second battle in the equal pay
struggle for teachers here has been
won.
The drama of the last Of the two
battles to secure equal pay for To-
cal Negro teachers came to VIC
torious end in the u. S. District
court in Norfolk, Va, on Aug. 80,
when Judge Sterling Hutchinson
held Joseph II. Saunders. superin-
tendent of the Newport News
schools and the local school board,
in civil contempt
ORDERED TO OBEY B~w~
Judge Hutchinson also ordered
Saunders and the school board to
obey the decree Of the late Judge
Luther B. way, which was issued
on Jan. %, 1913, forbidding "these
school officials to pay Negro teach
ers less than white teachers when
they possess equal qualifications
and perform similar services"
The background of the latest
fight for equal pay reveals a crimi-
nal conspiracy by members of the
local school board, including Saun-
ders, to nullify u. S. Supreme
court verdict in favor of equal pay
for Negro teachers. The supreme
court ruled that salary discrimina-
ton was illegal but the local school
board decided to ignore the deci-
sion.
INTIMIDATION REPLY
There would be no equal pay for
Negro teachers, they decided. Not
even a teachers petition, presented
to the school officials in conf
dence, moved them. They replied
by intimidation, which resulted in
the discharge of DR.. l.. F. Palmer,
principal of Huntington High
school, from the local school sys-
tenn. DR.. Palmer, along with Miss
Dorothy E. Roles and others, was
active in the fight for equalization
Of teacher salaries.
Miss Roles was the plaintiff in
the first suit against the school
board. The last suit grew out of
evasive methods to perpetuate a
jim crow wage scale for Negro
teachers. That suit was backed by
the Newport News Negro Teachers
Association, the Virginia State
Teachers Association, and the
NAACP.
Negro teachers here have gained
an estimated $4,000 a year increas-
ed salary through the successful
struggle to establish equal pay for

DOES THE G HATE
HI UNIONS I?

Let's register objections to some OF the
national commentators employed by the
local dailies. Take George E. Sokolsky,
who writes an article entitled ''These
Days" 1t is not too much to say that Mr..
Sokolsky is unfriendly to organizer labor,
and his animosity toward President
Roosevelt and the national administration
is obvious. Mr.. Sokolsky also shows a
keen delight in his antagonism to Russia.
Paul Mallon, who is also on the editorial
page of the local morning paper, shows his
vindictiYeness toward unions, and as for
Westbrook Pegler, he has no praise for
anyone according to some men and women
who read his articles. In fact, his abuse
of the unions and of President Roosevelt
and of the national administration and Of
every liberal, is so continuous that many
people spurn them.
The employment by the Anaconda Cop
per Company Of these writer's in its sub
sidized press can only mean that it sub
scribes to these statements and that it also
IS %unfavorable to labor and to the govern
ment. 1t is true that at times one OF more
of these syndicated columnists prints an
articles against the unions which shows
up some type Of corruption or misbe-
havior. Yet none of them offer a con
structive program for the general welfare
Of the people of the United States. All oil

INDEPENDENT TICKET
CONFIDENT

The Independent School Ticket pledges
no increase in taxes. They pledge also an
increase i'll wages for teachers and use Of
the schools as community centers. The
Independent candidates are supported by
the unions and other liberal groups. The
Independent ticket is the oldest, has the
longest and most distinguished record Of
any school ticket in the history of School
District No. 1, and should be placed once
again in control Of the board. The indie
pendents take credit for raising the stand
ard of instruction and establishing the
single salary schedule which provides that
teachers should be paid according to their
educational qualifications and experience.

Of its people and in its economic and so

that the first world wal would have been

Breton WOCds-Your Children's
vs.. the Bankers
A struggle has begun in Congress now
that is so important for the future of
this country and the world that the peo-
pie who own the newspapers and the
powerful figures behind them would just
as soon you wouldn't know anything
about it or think it wasn't any Of your
business. It's the struggle about whether
Congress is going to approve the plan
adopted at Breton Woods last summer
for an international monetary fund and
an international bank for reconstruction
and development.
Don't let anybody fool you into think
ing Breton Woods is some abstract,
highbrow technical matter which should
be left to bankers, economists and big
businessmen to decide. Breton Woods
is business for the people, the men who
are doing the working and fighting, and
their wives.
1t has to do with whether your mar
will have a steady job and high wages
after the war, whether you'll have
enough in the pay check to pay rent
and groceries and doctor bills ana have
enough left over to have some good
times and a v a little, whether you car
settle down after this war and see yOul
kids off to school without being afraid
that they, too, in Is years may be bleed
ing on the beach of another Two Jima.
Breton WOOds-JObs, Peace
What has this got to do with Breton
Woods? well, it's agreed by everybody
that we can't have full employment and
high living standards here unless We
have a huge foreign trade, which means
other countries must buy all kinds OF
machinery and goods from us. They
certainly need them, that's no problem
but the problem is how will they pay
for them? Most countries in the world
will come out Of tn, war ravaged and
needing to rebuild, but broke because
they've spent all their money fighting
the war.
They'll need loans and a long time tC
pay them back-time to build up theii
" plants again with the machinery
they buy from us, and to get their econ.
omy going. The more jobs their rebuilt
factories provide and the high standard
of living other countries reach, the NOR
goods they'll want from US, and Tn.
more Jobs and higher standard Of Twin
will result here.
These loans can't be left to privat
banks. because private banks couldn'
afford or wouldn't make them on tn
scale needed. Or if they did, they'd de
mand in return virtual dictatorship Q

trade, brought about depressions, made

it possible for countries to stabilize their
currency. trade on the world market and
meet their obligations without depreci-
ating CURRENCY and resorting to the
practices of economic warfare.
The group that opposes Breton Woods
is not very large, but it's very power
full. It's led in this country by the
American Bankers association, which
says it agrees with Breton Woods in
principle" but thinks the fund should
be dropped and some Of its functions
put in the bank.
This is just clever strategy to wreck
Betton Woods. The plan as finally
signed by As nations was a unanimous
agreement reached only after many
I months of consultation between leading
experts from those countries. AS in any
| international agreement, there had tC
be give and take. The changes suggest
ed by the ABA would mean SUBMITTING
the plan all over again to the other A.

far into the future.

WOODS PROGRAM

WASHINGTON FP) - Despite the
opposition of the clique that rules the
top leadership of the American Bankers
association, not all ABA members are
against the Betton Woods plan and its

The ABA has approved the proposed
