Court UphOlds Equarl
Pay For Negro Teachers

New Orleans QLNS) = Equal
pay for Negro teachers won a
victory here when Federal Judge
Herbert w. Christenberry ruled un-
constitutional the practice of pay
ing to Negro teachers salaries less
than those paid to white persons
of similar qualifications.
A suit brought by Eula Mae Lee
asked that declaratory judgment
be issued and the parish school
board enjoined from further alleg-
ed discrimination. Judge Christen-
berry held that the official policy
of the school board in paying the
plaintiff and other Negroes small
er salaries 'in so far as such dis
examinations are predicated on race,
creed or color" was unconstitu-
tional.
The teacher asserted that she re-
ceived $675 a year while the sal
ary of white teacher of similar
qualifications was $1,370.

Unions Wins Mc
Since W Day In
The Cotton Mills

Danville, Va. (LPA)-The 8 per
cent wage increase won this week
for 12,500 workers at the Dan Riv-
er Mills here by the Textile Work
ers Union of America-CIO may
again set the pattern for wage
boosts in all of the south's cot
ton mills.
This brings to 44c an hour the
total of pay boosts won by the
union in the south since VI day.
Each previous raise has been ac-
cepted first by the other unionized
miils-employing 125,000 workers
and then for the rest Of the 600,-
90 southern cotton mill employees.
The wage settlement, ratified at
local mass meeting, brings aver
age straight time pay at Dan Riv-
er to S1.16 an hour. Dan River
Mills are the largest in the world,
and have been the pace-setter for
the cotton industry in the south.
Since vi day, southern mill
workers have won these gains: 10c
in February 1916; SC in August
1916; &c in January 1947; 8 per
cent (about 9c) in November 1947;
and the current per cent (about
SC or 9c).

Green And keenan,
Blast Congress At
AFL Meet In N. Y.

New York NPA)-The refusal
If the special session Of the S0th
Congress to act on President Tru-
mans legislative program was
blasted this week by AFL Presi-
Dent William Green and LLPE Dir
,ctor Joseph keenan, at the con-
7ention Of the NY State AFL.
President Green challenged "Sen.
Taft and his colleagues to deny
that they deliberately instigated
the present filibuster i'm the Senate
over poIl-tax legislation as a poll
sical maneuver to block action on
necessary legislation and to force
adjournment Of the special session
without accomplishing a single con-
structive advance"
The AFL chief complimented
Truman on his program Of anti
initiation legislation and his en-
phasis on the need for passing a
9ow-cost housing bill and repeal
ng the Taft-Hartley law.
"Instead Of going to work sin
cerely to examine the Presidents
recommendations" Green said, "the
leaders of the 80th Congress retail
ated by saying, first, that no en-
ergency existed and, second, that
the Presidents program was mo-
tivated entirely by politics"
The AFL believes, Green explain
ed, that the problems of housing
and the high cost Of living do pre-
sent an emergency, and that it has
been the leaders Of Congress, not
the President, who have been gull
ty of playing politics.
Green said that Truman should
have asked for 81 rather than a
75c minimum wage level, but re-
marked that he feared" even this
moderate" suggestion will be
ignored by Congress.
He concluded by expressing his
"hope and firm belief that this
convention will single out by name
each member of Congress from
New York State who voted for the
Taft Hartley act and call for his
defeat.
Recurring to the question of the
emergency which President Tru-
man cited in calling Congress back,
LLPE director Joseph keenan, re-
marked:
"There may be no emergency to
a Congressman with an income Of
more than $1,000 a month. There
may be no emergency to big bus
mess which got its pay-off from
the 80th Congress. But there Is an
acute emergency to the laboring
men and women with an average
weekly pay check of S53, old age
pensions of $25 a month, and 81 a
pound hamburger"

7 Teachers Lobby
Called Most Vicious
By Tom. (. Dewey

Washington LPA) = It's the
word of COP Presidential candi-
date Thomas E. Dewey against that
of Gov. Herbert B. Nav of Utah
and Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alas
ka, as to whether or not Dewey has
called teacher propaganda for
higher pay "the biggest lie since
Hitler"
Both Nav and Gruening, in
statements released by the Demo-
cratic Natl Committee, insist that,
at the Governors Conference at
Portsmouth, n. H., Dewey had bit
terly attacked teachers lobbies.
They quoted Dewey as saying, in
a closed session, that the teachers
lobby ''is the most vicious lobby in
the nation today. If it isn't stepped
on now, it will destroy the nation.
It's worse than the power lobby,
the real estate lobby, the oil lobby,
the liquor lobby and a lot of 9TH
ers."
James c. Hagerty, Dewey's press
aide, answered by calling the Nav
and Gruening accounts of the meet
ing rubbish"
1t is common knowledge in teach
ers' circles that Dewey is especially
bitter at New York's teachers, who
have been lobbying stubbornly for
a decent pay law in the state. When.
Buffalo teachers-both union and
ncn-union-went on strike, Dewey
whipped the Legislature into pass
ing the Condon- Wadlin bill, forbid
ding civil servants to strike.
Gruening's account of the dis
cussion at the annual Governors
went on to say that
Dewey had warned other governors
that the teachers lobby would move
into their states 'propagating the
lie that they are underpaid and
that the states are not doing a
job for them" When his COP run
ming mate, Earl Warren of Cali
fcrnia, protested, Dewey dropped
the matter.
The American Federation of
Teachers-AFL, at it's recent con-
yention, heard detailed attacks on
he salary systems in New York
,tate-financed schools from the
New York delegates. These same
attacks on Dewey's treatment of
chool funds were aired at the con-
-ention of the conservative and
Natl Education Assn.

Lobor Advisors Stress u. S. Workers
Unifed In Booking European Aid PIon

Washington, ID. C. ULNS) -
American labor's united support OF
the European recovery program
was emphasized before the recent
Congress of the International Tran
sport Workers Federation in Oslo,
Norway, by representatives of U.
S. trade unionism.
The speakers were Bert M. jew
ell and Clinton S. Golden, top
level labor advisors to Paul G..
Hoffman, Economic Cooperation
Administrator. They pointed out
that that they did not appear as
representatives of particular groups
of American unions, but of all of
the more than 100000 organized
workers of the United States.
Jewell, former president of the
Railway Employees Department,
AFL, declared:
"Clinton Golden and | were selec-
ted by the 3 great union groups of
the United States, totaling 15,000,-
600 members, for appointment as
labor advisors on the Economic CO.
operation Administration. We are
the visible evidence of the support
and cooperation of all the Ameri-
can trade unions in this great joint
effort for world peace"
Golden, formerly assistant to the
president of the United Steel Work
ers, CIO, said:
"You have heard, perhaps, much
about the so-called conflict in the
labor movement between
the AFL and the CIO. | assure
you that while there may be per-
fectly legitimate and understand
able differences of opinion as to
relations or affiliations with world
labor organizations, there is at the
same time almost completely unani-
nous support for the so-called Mar
shall Plan and its implementation
through the Economic Cooperation
administration. Mr.. Jewell and |
are travelling together We are
working together in the utmost
harmony"

Misunderstanding represent
atives of industry, labor, education
and safety techniques met with
government officials to complete
plans for the Presidents Confer
ence on Industrial Safety to be
held in Washington September q,
% and 90.
These representatives, including
Nelson H. Cruikshank, the AFL's
director of social insurance activl-
ties, comprise a eoordinating COM
mittee which will direct the activl-
ties of Z additional committees rep
resenting labor, industry and gov
enmental agencies in preparing
the action program to be initiated
at the September meeting. William
l.. Connolly, director of the Bureau
of Labor Standards, L. S. Depart
ment of Labor, is chairman Of the
committee.
"The President has long been in
IereSIcu III dill safety liiC1SAAto et'h'
is especially concerned with cas-
ualties resulting from accidents at
this time when manpower is so
sorely needed" Connolly said.
"While outstanding records have
been established by many safety
both voluntary and
state as we'll as in individual firms,
the accident frequency is still ap-
pallingly high. In 1947 one worker
was injured every Is seconds and
1ne killed or permanently disabled
every 4 minutes.
"With employment at a near
1eak level, reserves are not avail

we'll as economic waste is doubly
leplorable because practically all

Non-Discrimindtion Policy
Set For MilitdrY. Civil Jobs

ngton-President Truman
ordered an end to Discrimination in
the armed services and set up a
fair employment practives system
for Federal civil employment.
In two sweeping executive orders
issued on the eve Of the special ses-
sion of Congress, the President set
up two 7-man committees to admin
lister the provisions of his pro-
grams.
Mr.. Truman declared that men in
uniform should have equality of
treatment and opportunity" with
out regard to race, color, religion
or national origin.
Similarly, he decreed that "merit
and fitness" should be the only cri-
terra for judging applicants for
Federal positions or for promotions
within the service. Each depart
ment head, Mr.. Truman said, "shall
be personally responsible for an eff
fective program to insure that fair
employment policies are fully OBJ
served in all personnel actions
within his department"
The Presidents order concerning
the armed forces did not specific
ally call for an end to segregation
among American troops, although
this was requested by the Presi-
dents Committee of Civil Rights in
its report issued last October. The
order directed the committee to
determine how present practices
might be altered to carry out the
terms of the order.
While urging rapid application
of the equality of treatment" poll
icy in the military establishment,
Mr.. Truman said that it should be
done with due regard to "the time
required to effectuate any neces-
sary changes without impairing eff
ficiency or morale"
In the civil departments, the head
of each was directed to designate
an official as "Fair Employment
Officer" who was charged with full
operating responsibility of the non
discrimination program. Provision
was made for hearings of COM
plants, appeals and disciplinary ac-
ton.
Members of the two committees
had not been named as this edition
went to press.

Leon Jouhaux Head
Of Recovery Office
In French Capital

London (LPA)-The Int'l Trade
Union Conference on the European
Recovery Program last week voted
TO establish permanent office i'm
Paris, European headquarters Of
the US Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration. It's purpose will be to
"give guidance to national centers
in the mobilization and coordina-
tion of their activities in support of
ERP."
Headed by veteran French labor
leader Leon Jouhaux, central
committee Of the conference will
administer the Paris office.
US union chiefs who attend the
London meeting urged the estab-
lishment Of such an office as a
center for spurring the recovery
program thru union participation in
Marshall plan machinery in all
western European nations, and "to
combat forces trying to sabotage
ERP." AFL, CIO and United Mine
Workers delegates were in COM
plete accord.
Altho the CIO and the pro- Mar
shall plan European unions intend
remaining in the World Federation
of Trade Unions with the Russian
and other Communicated labor
groups, it was predicted that the
WFTU will be eclipsed by the ITU
CERP as the principal link between
US and European labor.

Have ToSee Special
Congress Session
To Believe II

Washington (LPA)-"It has to
] be seen to be believed" CIO-PAC
director Jack Kroll wired presidents
of all CIO international unions this
week, reporting to them on the
special session of Congress.
81 therefore, suggest" Kroll wiz
ed, "that you delegate at least
one observer from your organiza-
ton to sit in the congressional gal
leries during the special session in
order that they may report to our
members from first hand observa-
tion the conduct of these paid rep
resentatives Of the people-guard-
ians Of the country's well being"
The PAC director singled out
three actions by Congress for
special attack: "the burning issue
of initiation is pigeon-holed in COM
mittee; the filibuster in the SEN
ate on the anti-poll tax bill; the
blocking of the Taft-Ellender Wag-
ner housing bill.
"The Republican majority and
the Dixiecrats," Kroll charged,
have joined hands in the Senate
to snarl up the parliamentary sit
uation so that now 'there is fill
buster on a filibuster with a poten-
tial filibuster on the actual anti
poll tax bill in the background"
As for the TEW housing bill,
"The House Rules Committee re-
fuses to permit House considera
tion Of the TEW bill despite APP
proval by the full Senate and the
House Banking and Currency Com
mittee during the regular session.
Speaker Martin yesterday refus-
ed to recognize Rep. Helen Douglas

mittee from further consideration
of the bill, requiring 218 sigma

it remains under the Speakers con-

Last weekend the House adjourned
for three days in order to prevent
additional signatures. After a suffi-
,ient number Of signatures are on

legislative days on the Speakers
