.Jim-Crow Hits
Airlines
Pockeibook

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - This
story on the high cost of jimcrow
was told by William Worthy, Jr.,
Negro writer who is Field Sec
rotary of the Workers Defense
League.
"On a plane fare of $6.10 from
Savannah to Jacksonville, Delta
Airlines had to pay out So for a
special cab for me from the Jack
sonville airport to the city. A
clerk, expressing his regrets to
me, said the company used to
carry all passengers in the limou-
sines until the New Deal Cab Co.
forced through an ordinance set
ting a $3.50 fine for carrying mix
ed passengers.
Il can well believe the airline
does not like this restriction since
it hits their pocketbook-in my
case to the tune of 33 per cent
of the plane fare"

Democratic nomination for Rep

While PAC was taking Repre-

Fordyce-Professor J. f. Wal
lace, principal of Dallas County
Training School, who has served
in that capacity for twenty years
and has devoted himself for a
number of years 10 the task of
raising the standard of education
for the Negroes of Dallas County.
recently found himself under fire
from that element of the COM
munity which is opposed to i'm
proving the educational chances
of the children if it means any
increase of money or effort on
the par of teachers to further
qualify themselves. Some time
ago, Principal Wallace advised
three of his teachers that it would
be necessary for them to put a
little more time in school dur
ing summer in order to meet re-
ouirements. Two of the teach
ers, Mrs. Calvin Matthews and
Mrs. James Gay, could see the
Justice of his position and de-
cided to attend summer school
in order to qualify for a renewal
e. certificates. A third, Mrs. T..
p. Johnson, did not accept the
suggestion of the principal. Her
husband, the Reverend Mr.. John
son. in cooperation with f.. G.
Scott, former teacher who quail
fled for the profession when
credits above the grammar school
were considered superfluous, cir
culated a petition asking for the
removal of Principal Wallace.
Evidently Reverend" johnson
and Professor" Scott want equal
salaries for their teacher wives
and friends; but they do not think
it important that the pupils re-
ceive equal educational care from
equally qualified teachers.
Professor Wallace has pursued
his training in Ohio State Uni
legcs, and all the rest OF the
faculty have standard prepara-
ton. The citizens of Fordyce who
desire competent teaching for
theri children are greatly dis
turbed over the untoward opposi-
ton.

Negro Collects
Sll0 In Damages

New York-A Brooklyn barber
has learned that race discrimina-
ton is costly, especially when
practiced against a Negro MEM
Der of the National Maritime
Union.
The seaman, Linwood Caring
ton, of 1856 Hancock Street,
Brooklyn, this week collected
$l10 from the owner of Most
rand Avenue barber shop, who
refused to give him a fifty-cent
shave last month.
Darlington, who had sailed
American merchant ships into
dangerous war zones throughout
the war, visited his neighborhood
barber shop on April 10th for q
shave When the barber refused
to accommodate him, Darlington
called in policeman who in
formed the barber that he was
required under New York State
law to give the shave. The bar
Der still refused.
The seaman brought the matter
to the attention of the National
Maritime Union, whose attorney,
William l.. Standard, promptly
obtained magistrates summons
against TIE barber for a misde-
meanor and also sued him in the
Municipal Court, charging viola
ton of the Civil Rights Law.
Sections 40 and Al of this law
make it illegal for anyone to re-
fuse to serve, or withhold the
facilities of place of public ac-
oommodation from, a person ON
account of race, color or creed.
Faced by the determined efforts
of the National Maritime Union
to secure justice in this fragrant
case of discrimination, the barber
made several attempts to buy off
Darlington with offers of -
