primary.
Out Of Ig1 900 ballots cast in the
July 2 primary only about 3.00t
were by Negroes.
The Rev. r. S. Bostick, 72-year r-old
colored minister of Grenada. whose
father and mother were slaves, told
the committee he was eligible tc
vote in the July primary but avoided
doing SO on the advice of a sheriff
Warned by Sheriff.
He said he was on his way to the
polls when the sheriff told him he
was the only Negro In the county
eligible to vote, but advised the
clergyman not to do SO because II
might cause trouble.
He said he took the advice be-
cause the sheriff was the only one
he could have turned to in the event
of trouble, and the sheriff woulc
have been able to say he had warn
ed the minister in advance,
Il said / wouldn't have been here
at all, but I was invited to come
by the white people," Mr.. Bosick
continued. He said he drew from,
his pocket and showed the. sheriff
an invitation he had received from
the Ross Collins committee. For-
mer Representative Ross Collins
was one Of Senator Bilbo's oppo-
nents in the Senate race this year.
Mr.. Bostick also testified he haC
seen white boys throw eggs at Sen
ator Bilbo when the Senator urgec
an audience in Grenada not to lie,
the negroes vote.
Saw Eggs Thrown.
The minister said that when hi
saw white boys cast" eggs at thu
Senator he did not think he woule
have any trouble. He also testi.
fed that his people looked on hin
as leader. and that when they
heard he had not voted they die
| not attempt to go to the polls.
Walter Hightower, colored, o1
Grenada told the committee hi
heard Senator Bilbo say one Of thu
reasons he did not think Negroes
were qualified to vote was because
only $50 years ago they were eating

HE quick answer, and the correct answer to that
question u.s.
When that Act ranky dscrimnates by favoring
one business against another" That's exactly what
Bill S l349 now before the Senate does.
Under Section Of this bill, every form Of trans
pOrtatlOn competitive with the motor carrier industry
would be granted full mption from the Wage Hour
Act overtime provisions but the motor carrier would
be called upon to pay overtime wage scales demanded
OF none OF its competitors.
And this in the face of the transportation Act of 1910
establishing the National Transportation Policy which
calls for fair and impartial regulation" of ALL forms
OF transportation!
HERE'S THE STORY
The Fair Labor Standards Act as passed by Congress
in 1893, exempted from overtime provisions employees
of arlnes subject to the Railway Labor Act EMPLOYEES
of railroads subject to the Interstate Commerce Act
employees of street, subur ban nterrban street rail-
ways; employees of local trolley motor bus carriers;
and motor carrier employees of employers subject to
Part Il of the Interstate Commerce Act
Why?
Because transportation all business and must
do so on A-hour schedule, and because labor con-
tracts have always been executed on that basis
Transportation is continuous around the clock
operation. Transportation agencies, including motor
carriers must deliver products and finished goods
to establishments before the people who process them
or merchandise them come to work; they must take
them away for ultimate delivery after these same
people have left their workbenches or their sales
counters Labor contracts for years have been
summated with that situa ton in mind Congress, in
enactng the Fair Labor Standards Act faced this con-
dton realistically and granted exemptions from
time provisions to transportation agencies.
BUT WHAT HAPPENED?
Successive court and administrative interpretations
cut the motor carrier employe exemption down until
the motor carriers were allowed only some drivers
some helpers, some mechanics and some leaders,
Now, before the Senate is S1349, the Minimum
Wage Bill Section of this bill would eliminate help
ers leaders, and mechanics from the present overtime
exemption in Section 1909 of the Act Helpers are in
Guided generally in the same union contracts with the
drivers and, obviously, with the same workweek.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-03-14

For example; All motor carrier employees of the Rail-
way Express Agency are exempted from these over
time provisions though it is engaged in the same
kind of business and performs the same functions as
the trucking industry with which it directly completes
Where dock loader for an Independent truck line
would be subject to overtime provisions under this
amendment dock loader doing the same work for the
Railway Express Agency is exempt It sounds unbe-
lievable-but that's the way it u.s.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-03-14


Where dock loader for independent truck line
would be subject to overtime provisions under this
amendment, dock loader doing the work for the
Railway Express Agency is exempt. It sounds unbe
Ilevable-but that's the way it is
WHO HAS ARGUED FOR THIS
DISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT?
Before the Senate Subcommittee, only one man
favored it, Metcalfe Wallng, Administrator Wage
and Hour Division, D. S. Department of Labor
Mr. Wallng, in justfying the change in Section 9
OF the motor carrier eXemp ton states is to cover
mo mans land" Maximum hours of work per week
are prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission
for drivers only. He therefore, concludes that no
control exists over the workweek of other exempted
motor carrier employees.
But-as far as we know: AS to rail EMPLOYEES there
is only the 16hour law limiting the consecutive hours
OF train service employees, teegraphers and dispatch
ers There is no Federal law limiting their maximum
hours OF work in any week. month or year. Nor do we
know OF any such law so limiting the hours of employees
in other forms of transportation.
Certainly this should occasion no surprise in view
OF the policy of Congress recognizing the special needs
OF transportation agencies And the transportation
agencies themselves have reflected this situation in
their own labor contracts.
MR.. WALLIkG's STORY
Mr.. Waling seems to know about this labor con-
tract recognition OF the special problems of Transport
taton but only with respect to rail employees He says
for example, that there is no discrimination between
rail and motor carriers brought about by including
motor carriers under the overtime provisions of the
Act because railroad employees who are not at present
entitled to overtime under this Act were, early in
1874, awarded increases in wages which included
amounts approved under the sterilization program as
wage adjustment in lieu of weekly overtime pay"
What does he think has been going on in trucking
industry labor contracts? In his position he should
know that under the War Labor Board policy followed
in all trucking in 1914 and 1885, similar lieu Of
increases were awarded in hundreds of trucking wage
cases for the same reason.
Mr.. Waking admitted in the hearing before the
Senate Subcommittee that There is merit in the sug-
geson that the railroad and motor carrier industries
be treated identicay" But he didn't press the point
then. Does that mean he is willing to continue the
discrimination? And-is tn the wish of Congress-?
IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK?
All that the motor carrier industry asks is that
there be fair and impartial regulation of all forms
Of transportation in the Fair Labor Standards Act
We ask that be restoredo an equal basis with other
forms of transportation the apparent equity of
Congress when passing the Fair Labor Standards Act
be again achieved
Is this too much to ask?
