IMPORTANCE OF
CHEAP FARM LABOR

= WASHINGTON, Mar. 21 (ANP)
Whether or not the Importation
of cheap farm labor for the big
farmers was to the disadvantage of
small farmers and domestic farm
workers was one of the issues raised
here by church leaders in confer
ence with representatives of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
The question was directed to M.
G. Wilson, director of the extension
service farm labor program, who
gave an evasive answer which the
church leaders declared was unsat
isfactory.
Pressing the issue, the church
leaders pointed out that farm wages
are so low that our own people pre-
fer to accept unemployment COM
pensation and readjustment pay to
accepting farm jobs while cheap
foreign labor is imported for the
big farmers who insist on keeping
farm wages down.

COMPLETE EQUALITY IS

NEW YORK, March 21 (ANP)
-"Complete equality - economic,
political, social and cultural, with
out equivocation-is the goal of the
Negro in New York." declared L. D.
Reddick in the 10th lecture Of the
series devoted to human relations in
New York City, presented by the
Schomburg collection Of Negro lit
erature of the New York Public
library.
DR.. Reddick traced the history of
Negroes in New York from the time
of the Dutch settlement but con-
centrated upon the analysis of
achievement and problems since
1910. The speaker showed how the
boil weevil destroying cotton cul-
ture in the southeast had liberated
the Negro from the plantation south

They added that this is not only
a disadvantage to farm workers, but
also tends to lower the earnings of
small farmers who must cultivate
and harvest their own crops, and
then sell their products in competi-
ton with those of the big farmer
who has produced them with cheap
labor.
Wilson said that steps are being
taken to raise farm wages and i'm
prove housing and working condi-
tions. He stated that in some areas,
farm workers earn as high as SIS
per day. To ensure better housing,
he said that other states might fol-
low the lead of New Jersey and
Connecticut and pass farm housing
inspection laws.
1t was pointed out that while con-
gress has provided minimum wages
and minimum standards of housing
for foreign workers, no such pro-
visions are made for domestic farm
workers.
As for wages, a department Off
cial said that Jamaican workers
alone sent home more than mil
lion dollars last year in deductions,
not to mention other savings. The
official added that such savings
would go a long way toward i'm
proving the living conditions Of do
mestic workers in the south where
colored people make up over so per
cent of the total farm labor force.
The church leaders agreed to
make a study of the whole farm
labor program.
Among the colored representa-
tives at the conference were: DR..
Harry V. Richardson of Tuskegee,
DR.. W. H. Jernagin of the Fraternal
Council of Negro Churches in Amer
lea, the Rev. Richard Johnson Of
Maryland, and the Rev. John Collier
of Wilberforce's rural church de-
partment.
DR.. Richardson, who has organ
lied an extension school for rural
ministers, delivered a talk at the
conference on extension teaching.
The conferees indicated that they
would adopt some of his teaching
methods.

ON THE GLOOMY SIDE


There are not nearly enough
fats in the country to make all
the soaps, soap powders, and
soap flakes you want. So short is
the supply, the government
must decide how much fat can
be released to make soap and
other peacetime goods.
Besides, the supplies of soaps
many of you housewives have
had in reserve are running low
- and the demand for soaps
is increasing.
