FOR EQUAL PAY

RUBY JACKSON GAMER,
president Of the Teachers Union Lo-
cal, United Public Workers Of
America, Jackson County, Alabama,
was fired by the county school board
for asking equal pay with white
teachers. 3. Mrs. Maenetta Steele,
president Of the United Public
Workers Local at Fairfield, Ala,
was fired for the same reason.
-Four other teachers also got the
gate on the same issue. They
were charged with Characterization
and neglect Of duty"
BUT NOTE THIS: Joined with
the United Public Workers in the
fight for equal pay for Negro teach
ers were Negro and white min
isters, Negro and white teachers,
Negro and white businessmen and
civic leaders. Unity. brothers
and sisters, that's UNITY among
the decent people in the deep
south" Let's have some Of the
same stuff here to knock the fascist
raeists for q loop in our own back
yard.
WHERE TO HIT RIGHT Now'
-. See that industrial plants in the
Twin Cities hire Negro workers and
that they are properly upgraded
and given q chance for the better
jobs. Only 46 Of the 500 in
dustrial plants in st. Paul hire Ne
gro workers. according TO
CHARLES ROGERS Of the St.
Paul Urban League. The score
Is about the same in Minneapolis.
HOW ABOUT getting ready for
a campaign to break down the race
barriers in Twin City plants by
setting up q personnel section
where Negro workers can make
known their trade or work abilities,
how they can be reached, etc. g.
Then. for example, when the bars
are broken In q plant and the boss
asks for a machine operator, q quick
reference to the file will produce the
worker for him and q job for the
Negro worker. . Also. an idea
can be had Of what kind Of Jobs TO
campaign for. q. NOW is the time
to intensity the campaign for JOBS.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Local SIC, Dining Car Employees.
will take over this column next
week to tell you about their fight
to keep control Of their Joint Coun-
ell. Don't miss Il.
SHARP POINT
The lynehing Of Negroes is aided
and abetted by films like Gone
With the Wind" The produe-
ers are planning to reissue Il this
summer. In the north, lynch
ing takes the common form Of no
jobs. no pay checks, no clothes, no
eats, ghettoS.

United Public Workers Of America
Local No. IL
VETO FIGHT CRUCIAL:
WYATT PIERRO, Seey. Of UT
SEA-CI0 Local lOO03, reports on
the knockout, drag-'em-out fight
against the HaTtley-Taft slave
Labor" bill: Last Friday Mime
apolis joined the long list Of city
governments urging a presidential
veto and congressional approval Of
the veto against this BILL" he said.
-. Caravans Of cars from all over
the country are heading TO the ma
tons Capitol to make their voices
heard in the ears Of the President
and Of Congress-. Tell your
readers TO continue sending letters
and wires TO the President for the
veto"
WYATT then put the whole fight
into this nHtshell: This is a
showdown fight for control Of
American workers, whether they
are to be controlled by Big Bust
ness or by the American workers
themselves" E. He said the Hart
ley-Taft bill was a desperation ef-
fort by Big Business TO keep con-
troll Of the American workers,
which was being broken by the 49,
100000 trade union members and
their families. BY smashing or
gained labor. the constitutional
rights Of workers, then Of all COM
mon people would be taken away,
and our educational and living
standards would tumble.
He pointed out that the racial Is
sue has always been used as a main
weapon TO divide the American peo-
pie against themselves, but that the
trade unions were turning the
tables on this weapon. "In fact"
he said, the racial weapon has been
tured against reaction by organized
labor, and used for unity among
workers instead Of disunity. The
United Packinghouse Workers, the
United Mine Workers and the Unit
ed Steel Workers, three big. key
unions, have used the racial quss-
ton rs a rallying call for unity
among American workers. And
II worked"

Ford Motor Co. Gives Pay Boosts

DETROIT, (RJ-The Ford Mo tor CO. today offered l30,00O CIO production workers the equivalent of a l5 cent an hour wage in- crease and simultaneously boosted 10000 salaried employees 10 per cent.
 The boost in salaries was linn ted to those making less than Sl,000 monthly and becomes eff fective June l, the company said.
 The offer was Worded in such a way as to exclude $500 striking foremen as long as they were not covered by a contract.
 The proposal to the CIO JAW, which has threatened strike action after three weeks of negotiations, was conditioned on their accept ance of their old contract virtual ly intact except for wage issues
 It provided an 1112 cent hourly wage boost plus six paid annual holidays, identical with the pat tern established in settlements with General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp.

Wallace Warns Of
 Century Of Fear''

PORTLAND, Ore. (P-Former vice-president Henry A.. Wallace warned of century of fear" in a speech here last night and said it would result from the Truman doctrines in foreign policy and ''one party coalition" in Congress.
 Wallace also called for interna- tionalization of the Panama canal, the Dardanelles and the Suez canal as steps vital to eliminate the causes of war. He said the con- trol by one country of these stra- teeic areas "tends to break up peace"
 He told an audience of 5000 the nation was heading for a de- ~ression, and said a reduction of prices and raising of wages where possible must be accompanied by loans to European and Asiatic na- ions to raise their standards of living.
 He denounced John Tabor, chairman of the House appropria- lions committee, and said Ameri- can. farmers should demand a re- turn of the AAA local committee system. which he said would be vital when prices decline. Wallace said Tabor and other Republicans took the AAA program out of ths hands of the farmers.

Primary Election Ballots Stolen

KANSAS CITY, (P) - Primary election ballots checked by a county grand jury in its investiga- ton of alleged vote frauds were reported missing today from the vault of the Kansas City board of election commissions.
 LudWick Graves, chairman of the board, said both doors of ~ large storage vault in the couN'v courthouse had been pried open and three ballot boxes containinr ballots checked by the grand jury have been opened"
 "One of the boxes," he added "is definitely empty"
 The county grand jury, which completed it's term last night, re- turned a total of 81 indictments against Fl persons, and recom- mended a complete recount of all ballots in the race for the Demo- cratic nomination for representa- tive in Congress from the fifth district of Missouri last August.
 "It is our belief" the grand jury report said, "that Roger C. Slaughter in this race was de- prived of the nomination by a fraudulent miscount of votes and other types of fraud.'
 Slaughter, running for re-elec- ton, was defeated by Enos Axtell who was endorsed both by Presi- dent Truman and James M. Pen dergast, head of Kansas City Democratic faction. Axtell was defeated in the general election by Albert M. Reeves, Republican.

Ignorance Caused Texas City Disaster

WASHINGTON (P)-The Coast Guard reported today an investi- gation of the Texas City disaster April 16 showed ignorance and violations of safety regulations governing the handling of dan gerous" cargoes.

 The Coast Guard said it's in quiry did not disclose a specific cause of the blast but:
 1-"Hardly without exception" all those involved in handling the cargo displayed lack of knowl- edge of safety laws.
 2-There was smoking aboard the vessel, during loading opera tions, despite mo smoking" rule.
 3-Although ammonium nitrate is officially classed as danger ous", longshoremen were not given instructions on loading it.
 4-The vessel did not receive, as required by regulations, an ad- vance written notice that a dan gerous cargo would be shipped.

Cruening Asks For Pulp And Paper Mills

WASHINGTON, Ex-Governor Ernest Gruening of Alaska urged the House agriculture committee Monday to approve a bill to per init establishment this year of newsprint plup and paper mills in the Territory.
 The measure would authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to sell timber of ,unpatented, unoccu- pied lands within the Tongass Ma tional Forest in Southeastern Alaska. It would permit the sec retary of the interior to sell such unoccupied and unpatented lands as are needed on which to estab- fish paper mills and processing plants.
 Money received would be inn pounded in the treasury until any claims of Alaskan natives for pos session of lands in the forest, which the government claims to own, have been settled in courts.
 The governor said pulp and pa per mill interests are ready to start construction now if Congress will dispose of the controversial question of land claims. The legis- lation, it was explained, would hold all such claims in abeyance until Congress next session can determine a procedure for acting on them. The suits for the land, which interior department repre- sentatives said may represent about one tenth of the 15,0O0,O0O acre area, then would be filed at one time and decisions made in one, suit.
 Allow us to start the pulp and paper industry and you will be do- ing a wonderful thing for us," he told the committee. "The natives will be the chief losers if this pro- iect does not go through"
 James E. Curry, Washington at torney representing the Alaskan natives, obtained postponement of further hearings until he can con- fer with prospective timber pur- chasers and government officials on protecting the rights of Alas '-ans who may have a title claim on any of the national forest lands.

 There are no minorities; there is no deviation from the party line The final decision of the people, in elections, must conform to the party" decision. Tn the the party, religion is equivalent to expectations and unscientific processes" Profits are a capitalis- tic phenomenon, and therefore go to the state alone.
