Negroes also work for living.
It's generally conceded that a
strong labor movement must
have the unity of all working
people, and that anything which
tends to destroy this unity, such
as white-black tensions, weak
ems labor. Yet how many UNI
ions have gone to bat on the
issue of restrictive covenants,
of residential jim crow?
Signers and. hackers of re-
strictive covenants play
sucker game for the big real
estate interests. Slick agents
of the big property owners get
support by appealing to the
prevailing conception of race,
covering up their real motive
of fatter profits. These real
tors own housing in the black
ghetto. If they can confine

the competition for living
space skyrockets rents and
profits. Even the old OPA
couldn't stop gouging in the
Black Belt.
SO THE BIG real estate
dealers take these staggering
profits from the Negro section
and finance a strong real es-
tate LOBBY which today blocks
low cost public housing and
has virtually wrecked rent con-
troll. And the duped covenant
signer, the supporter of lily
white neighborhoods, suffers in
his pocketbook while the big
landlords laugh and rake in
the cash.
organized labor can and
should do a job, for this is a
direct dollars and cents attack
on the pocketbooks Of all work
ers as well as a weak link in
the growing chain of white and
Negro unity. AS for those peo-
pie who believe the myth that
Negroes in community de-
crease property values, there
are cold statistics in reouttal
prepared by-of all persons
the realty interests!
Isn't it time that working
people stopped being suckers
for the multi million dollar
landlord groups?

SPEAKING
Race riots and housing

week, a mob of 500 white citi-
zens gathered at seth and Wells
SITS. because a family of Negro
citizens had moved into a sec
ond floor apartment. They
threw stones, breaking the
front windows. They hurled
taunts and epithets. Police
squads were called. 1t was early
morning before the mob dis
persed.
A race riot could start from
such demonstration. Similar
incidents occur with alarming
frequency. There was the trou-
BILE at Airport Homes; threats
have been made to bar Negroes
from moving into the new Fern
wood veterans emergency hous-
ing project in the 9th ward.

time a Negro family moves into

to Tom Jefferson. He certainly
ought to know that Jefferson
never had in mind a school

The workers in industry have
found that if they want higher

the low pay for teachers. They

First Sales Tax
Returns Yield A
Large Revenue

The State of Maryland has re-
ceived $1,683,862 from those who
have filed Maryland retail sales
tax returns for July, Comptroller
James j. Lacy reported today. The
administrator of the act said that
those who made returns were in
excess of $4,000 for the first month,
and that so far approximately 49,
900 licenses have been issued. Mr..
Lacy also declared that he expected
several thousand returns to be
made without collections because
licenses are used in many instances
for the sole purpose of issuing re-
sale certificates.
"The amount of revenue derived
for the first month";" said Walter
E. Kennedy, chief of the division,
"seems to indicate a larger return
annually from this source than
originally estimated. The attempt
to forecast the yearly total on the
basis of one months experience
would not be advisable, but we at
least can feel certain that the
amount will exceed $18,500,O00.
GAS soon as possible a statement
will be prepared for Comptroller
Lacy setting forth the amounts re-
ceived from each subdivision of
the State and when those figures
are available we may be able to
make a fairly accurate forecast Of
the amount which ultimately will
be collected, provided present
trends and prices do not materially
change"

Veterans Urged
To Hold Bonds

Montgomery County bank tellers
were kept busy Tuesday, Septem-
Der 2, cashing terminal leave bonds
of veterans. Frederic Thomas,
president of the First National
Bank at Sandy Spring, said there
had been a great deal of activity
at his bank-really more than
was expected at this early date.
Tuesday was the first day the
bonds could be cashed-which are
in payment of unused service
leave.
Leonard Hoyle, president of the
First National Bank of Gathers.
burg, said it is not compulsory
for an ex-serviceman to cash his
bond; in fact, it is foolish to do SC
unless the need is imperative. He
pointed out that the bonds carry
2h@o interest until their date Of
maturity-one of the finest forms
of savings.
In Rockville, Richard Green
president of the Farmers Bank
said Tuesday had been an extreme
ly busy day--he hoped though that
more boys would hold on to their
bonds, realizing they have a good
investment. A teller at the Mont
gomery County National Banl
thought the application of the
bonds to reduce the principal OF
CT. house loan would be wise.
