"The federal government cannot ijraw the color line, but you can^ not fix the same wage fa*?the black man that you do for tht? White'." TEaTTs^wRut "RepVescnTa^ ^C! tive WilcojcHuLJEIbrida told hisfelve' low Congressmen in his opposition ? to the Wages and Hours bill. This for bill seeks to establish a minimum eld wage "for workers of 40 cents pci hour and^ a - maximum period ot Work at 40 hours per .week. South ern Congressmen oppose the bili principally because it is unwilling to pay the Negro a decent wage; then too it is" so wedded to making a difference in evervthincr as be tween the colored man and the white that the very, idea of oqua! wages for the same work is nauseating. This* feeling blinds it tc its own welfare. Of course, the more intelligent' know that the basing of wages on race or coloi does violence to every principle of economics, but intelligence is not always a very prominent factor in dealing with the Negrc question. Paying the .Negro just enough to eke out a hand to mouth existence certainly is not calculated to do much in making this soc? tiorr the prosperous region it has ?every ri^ht to bet This tow wage business has already* acted as a boomerang to the Soutlr One need3 but to recall a few years ago, when the^ Government in its effort to1 furnish work for the unemployed diyided tho country into zones for tho purpose of deter* . I -??? 7 : ? mining the wages to be paid, pre- 1 vailing wages of eadli zone being the yardstick. " The South, had the lowest wage nf ail, though It will ftHVe Iff: repay in taxes equally with ~ the other sections. The low wage was because, of "the miserable compensation given the colored worker. Less racial discrimination and more economics, would do won ^orsr Any Wage and Hours bill enftcfod should be based on common st>t>ap and intelligence. X * Kampbellgrams | * Stepncn C.
