law to additional employees in
industry.
Under the Standards Act,
most industry employees already
are entitled to overtime pay for
any work in excess of hours
a day.
However, there still are some
industry workers who are paid
overtime only on work performed
in excess of 40 hours q week.
This is the system also in effect
for Federal workers.
The Presidents action in call
ing for extension Of the eight
hour law to all workers would
undoubtedly, if approved by
Congress, be extended to Federal
employees as well.
This would be a great boom to
many Federal employees. Under
the present law, an employee can
work IL hours a day and not
receive any overtime as long as
total hours worked in week
does not exceed 40. However
under an eight-hour system,
they would be paid overtime for
any amount of work in excess
Iof eight hours on any day, even
if their total work for the week
did not exceed 40 hours.

tain orders he has to take. on that
same evening, when Carter asked
Gunderson This immediate super
vistorl why he couldn't become a
waiter. the latter replied, You
don't have to ask me that You
know the reason as well as / do
The clear inference here was that
Carter, as a Negro, should well
understand the reason why he was
not being promoted"
There is additional evidence In
the record which shows that the
pattern Of employment at Nc
Carthy's indicates a long-standing
and continuing policy Of discrimin-
alton on the basis of race and col
or" Late pointed out. Thus, OF
the % employees at McCarthy's
that were Negroes, not one OF
them include a position as high as
that Of waiter or waitress. The
Negroes employed at McCarthy's
hold positions as porters, dish
wishers, warehousemen, night
watchmen, Mushroom attendants
and bus boys. The highest position
mention as being held by a Ne
gro was that Of head Of the salad
department, a kitchen job. All Of
these positions are such that
either they do not come into con-
tact with the public or they come
into contact with the public only
at a mental level Of service"
A second violation Of the Fair
Employment Practices Law is
charged against McCarthy's for
refusal to reemploy Carter be-
cause he had filed a complaint
with the state Commission. Late
noted that the evidence in sup
port Of this charge includes testi-
mony that Murphy said he would
be unwilling TO re-hire Carter be-
cause Of the trouble he had caused
him by filing the complaint and
the fact that the Cafe hired Il
large number Of bus boys, walters
and mattresses during the time
that Carriers request for reem-
ployment was being refused.
The filing Of the memorandum
on behalf Of the complainant Is
the final step in the action before
the Board Of Review which began
with public hearings last March.

transcript Of the testimony was
completed and a statement deny

ADO Families Are
Victims In Alubomo
Peonaee System

Montgomery. Ala. lamp -.
A new wrinkle on slave labor
came to light in Alabama recent
ly when a state senator charged
that white farmers are using state
funds to secure cheap labor on
their farms.
State Sen. George Little of Bar
bour county said that the crux Of
the racket is the aid to dependent
children funds. An unwed mother
is encouraged to have illegitimate
children so as to qualify for Ado
grants. Then the mother and her
family are held in bondage on the
farms under threat Of losing the
welfare funds.
Despite the fact there is no le-
gal way for landowners to have
tenants cut off the welfare list,
some influential farmers get a
round that by claiming the Ne
groes refuse to work or stay
drunk.
For each child born, the mother
receives S1O.66 a month. The law
provides that up to five children
can receive aid. The senator said
this so-called easy money has led
to a sharp increase in illegitimate
births among Negroes since 1e47.
The rate is now 1897 per 1000
births.
Little suggested the state could
stamp out this new twist on the
peonage racket by cutting pay
ment off after the birth of the
first inegitimate child. However,
he said nothing about dealing with
offending plantation owners.

clad Appeal change its policy to-
wards news about Negroes and
the use Of titles Of respect for Ne

After all efforts failed. such as
sending committees Of civic work
ers and ministers TO talk to the

ulation decided to launch a pro-
test movement against the Com
mercial Appeal, Negroes were
asked to stop subscribing TO, or
reading the paper as Of August ;,
1857.
This movement was launched by
the Citizens Improvement Com
mittee made up of leading Negro
organizations, and is supported by
almost all Of the Negro ministers
of the city and county.
The INSTRUMENTATION Minis
terial Alliance OF Jackson, Tenn,
sent a letter to the Tri-state De-

and asking IN Negroes OF Jackson,
Tenn, to join in the movement.
