SIS Jobless Pay Bill
Killed By Coalition
Of North, South

Washington, D. C.-The NAACP
this week blasted the Senate FL
nance Committee headed by Sen
ator Walter F. George d., Ga.),
for striking from the Kilgore I'm
employment Compensation Bill pro-
visions to give jobless workers
throughout the United States the
maximum weekly benefits of $25
per week for &c weeks.
Walter White, NAACP secretary,
declared that this important pro-
vision was killed in the Finance
Committee by a coalition Of re-
dictionary northern and southern
senators who would rather see
thousands of families half-fed, ill
clothed, and generally demoralized
than provide decent rate of I'M
employment compensation.
Urged To Be Firm
The NAACP told Senator Harley
M. Kilgore d., W. Va.) that it
heartily endorses all the provisions
of his bill and urged him to stand
firm against compromises. 1t

Plantation Owners
Forcing Slave Wage
On Cotton Pickers

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)
Cotton plantation owners in
the South, looking forward to
a surplus of farm labor return
ing, with the closing down of
war industries and the dis
charge of soldiers from the
armed services, are seeking to
force the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to set a wage ceiling of
81 per 100 pounds for cotton
picking, through an undemo-
cratic referendum conducted in
Mississippi, Arkansas and Mis-
souri,, according to H. L. Nit
chell, president of the Southern
Tenant Farmers Union.
Mitchell was in Washington
last week to protest to the De-
partment of Agriculture the vir-
tual peonage such a wage cell
ing would produce for some
100000 farm workers, most of
whom are Negroes.
According to Mitchell, only
producers were eligible to vote
in the referendum. Cotton pick
ers whose wages were to be set
were not permitted to partici-
pate in the voting.

Theme: Fellowship" Much material for
thought was contained in the message.
Sister Coffee made an impression on the
pastor and the audience as a profound
thinker. We are happy to say that we had
full house, Sunday, filled with the ex-
pectancy of hearing the pastor in his first
message of the new conference year. The
spiritual fervor ran high, we feel that we
struck the keynote toward the reviving Of
the souls of men as the congregation fur
nished the music for the hour. The singing
carried our minds back to the days when
our forefathers used congregational singing
for the music of the occasion, and the Holy
Spirit stamped its approval on their en-
deavor. feel that II we would have more
congregational singing we would do more
reviving of the souls Of mankind. Attorney
