The Leake County School Petition

The filing of petition up in Leake County for
the admittance of Negro students to the public
schools in that county, is being viewed in
quarters as the first step towards public school
Indignation suit in the state but there is also the
probability that the action may be the first step
towards repetition of the Prince Edwards County,
Virginia, affair in this state.
Up in Prince Edwards County, Virginia, for
the past three years, a result of such action,
the public schools in that county have been closed,
while comparable, if not better, private schools
have been established for white students but with
Negro students with schools, except here and
there something of the make-Shift variety serving
as schools for Negro students
Tie schools up in Prince Edwards County have
remained closed thus far, because Indignation law
ers have been unable to find anything in the United
States Constitution that provides that a state or
county must establish public schools, that makes
1T mandatory that county accept money for the
operation of public schools.
In regard to the petition filed in Leake Coun-
ty there appears ample grounds for the charge
against those backing the petition of cvniciSm and
sensational publicity seeking seeing that Leake
County is the home county of Governor Ross Bar
nett whose strong views against Indignation is
known Throughout the nation. However while
such view may be tenable it may also be true
that the action result of the recent pub
ilcIty given unpublished state educational re-
port showing that only $500 was being spent per
Negro student education in the state, while $500
per white student education being spent in the
"''O' i0 foehS SldfIis idch vi sincerity III car
rylng out the state much talked about education
equalization program.
We still are of the opinion that the chief aim
of the United States Supreme Court in the school
cases was the elimination of discrimination in edu-
cation and more evidence of a sincere effort and
desire to eliminate discrimination will in the long
run falr TAR better in the eyes of the court than
subterfuges to avoid and distort the United States
Constitution.
We would also point out here that there is not
public school in the state, now being operated for
Negroes, that is not far better than anvkind of
make-shlft private school for Negro students
In viewing the petition it is our hope that it
VIII not turn out to be another Prince Edwards
County, Virginia affair for the Negro parents and
Negro students of Ieake County

Rail Mergers
Seen Suicidal
BY Harrison

Chicago - Railroads rushing
into mergers are taking their
industry "hell-bent down the
road to government ownership"
Pres. George M. Harrison of the
Railway Clerks declared here.
Railroads, he charged, have
found that ''there is profit in in
dustrial suicide" The penalty,
he added, is paid by the public
in loss of service and by the
workers in loss of jobs.
Harrison spoke at the joint
installation of local officers in
the Chicago area, attended by
1900 members of the Railway
Clerks He emphasized that
mergers breed mergers" and
said the consolidation trend has
been stepped up because rail-
roads fearful of being isolated
by mergers of competitors have
rushed to seek consultations of
their own.
yesterdays radicals" said
Harrison, fused to say that
capitalism would hang itself
with a rope of it's own making
provideling there's profit in it.
Today's railroads are about to
prove the truth of that predic-
tion-at least so far as the rail-
road industry is concerned"
Declaring that railroad SER
vices must be preserved until
Congress can reframe our ma
tional transport policy to pro-
mote a stronger railroad net

Industry has gone crazy. 1t
got such power during the Els
enhower Administration that it
whetted its appetite for more.
If industry keeps milking pro-
fits, our system cannot survive
another half-century.

Brown Scores
] exas' Jobless
Aid Policies

Austin, Tex. - The Texas
Employment Commission has
been piling up cash reserves
while denying one-third of the
applicants, Pres. Hank Brown
Of the Texas State AFL-CIO
has charged.
"The commission should be re-
minded, perhaps by legislative
investigation, that its primary
duty is not banking but helping
unemployed workers weather
periods of joblessness," he said
perhaps legislators will be
curious as l am, to know by
what standards the commission
finds almost one-third of all per-
sons applying for benefits Who'll
ly or partly disqualified"
The commissions report for
the fiscal year ending last Aug.
81, recently published, showed
that total benefits paid during
the period were but $66 million,
ord that when the year ended
s244 million was available for
the jobless.
Brown pointed out that, in
addition, the report showed app
locations from 337,757 individu-
ais, of whom 155,779 were de-
MED all or part of their benefits.
"Dcllars stagnating in a vault
contribute nothing to the gen.
cral economy" Brown said.

HARASSED BY POLICE

Jamestown, N. Y. - Members

Master Urges
Contempt For Firm
That Spied on Union

Chicago - The Olson Rug
Co., mail order and retail rug
firm here, should be found
guilty of contempt of federal
court for refusing to bargain
with the Textile Workers Union
of America, a court hearing Of
ficer has recommended.
Nathan M. Cohen, appointed
by the Seventh Circuit Court of
Appeals as special master to
hear the facts, has filed a re-
port with the court that the
company committed civil con-
tempt when it halted bargaining
in 1859 and hired detectives
to spy on the union.
The court is expected to act
soon on Cohen's finding that:
A month before the court
issued an order in 1853 that the
company must bargain with the
TWUA the firm planted" a de-
tective who was elected to serve
on the shop committee.
After the court order was
issued, the company added four
more undercover men to it's es-
pionage staff.
TWUA won a representation
election at the plant in 1857 af-
ter a bitter campaign, but man.
agement refused to recognize
the union or deal with it.
The National Labor Relations
Board found the company guilty
Of unfair practices and ordered
it to engage in collective bar
gaining. When the company
failed to respond affirmatively,
The board obtained a compliance
order from the appellate court
on Dec. 9, 1868.
Months Of meetings failed to
produce an agreement on con-
tract terms and Olson Rug
broke off bargaining on Nov.
13, 1859, claiming it had a "good
faith doubt" that TWUA still
represented a majority of it's
employees. The special master
has rejected this claim and re-
commended that the company
be found in civil contempt Of
The court order.
Last April the company was
charged by Labor Sec. Arthur
]. Goldberg with failing to file
reports required by the Land
-um- Griffin Act Of its dealings
with the Illinois State Detective
Agency, Chicago.

About 81 million of IT'S mil

Raises for ga million workers
were negotiated in 1861, to go
into effect during the year. In
creases for 2.3 million were de-

ers were employed where 1861
settlements called for no change
and fewer than 10000 suffer-

NLRB Wins
$1.65 Million
In Back PAY

The % regional offices of the

In addition to back pay, 2349

1851 accepted; 81 formal back

Meanwhile the firm has sought
