Changes

Amendments
Harmful To:
Negro Workers

~opposition to the Bafden aimendments to the Wage and Hour law,
on the ground that these proposed
changes would shut out from any
protection of this Act ~hundreds of
thousands of Negroes~ was expressed today by the~ Natiorial Association for the Advancement of
Colored People.:

In a letter to Hous ~ Minority
Leader, Joseph W. Martin, Jr., the
Association. said:

~The Barden amendments propose to exempt from the benefits
of better wages or shorter hours
or both more than a million and a
quarter of the poorest paid American workers, among whom are
hundreds of thousands of Negroes.
~These arnendments strike at employees' engaged in canning, packing and otherwise processing
agricultural products, at workers
in the lumber industry and. at
transportation relating to these industries. Negroes in large numbers
are employed in these fields and
in same areas they constitute a
majority of the workers who would

~) be affected.~

The association pointed out also
that the amendments would have
the effect of denying the protection of the law to thousands of
Virgin Islanders who would be
made to suffer from ~exemptions
and differentials.~

The protest was sent also to
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman House Labor committee,
and ~Reps. Sam Rayburn, Hamilton
Fish and Foes dence McKeough.

tary boy and girl pupils erirolied
in Bertie county 4-H Club work,
J. ~. Hubbard, farm agent this
week declared the pupils have an
average annual ~ of only $4
a child.

Explaining that the ~gure was
eonducted to evaluate problems affecting 4-H Club work, Hubbard
said it was found that the average
child~s~ low income as stated was
paltry as compared with $25 earned by each of the 165 boys completing 4-H Club work.

Ninety percent of the children
studied like to~ work, were willing
even to have a home job for as
little. as ~10 cents per week. It was
estimated that 13 of every 16
children in the county come from
tenant homes. Some recommendations made by Agent Hubbard.

Let the children be responsible

to handle a small amount of money
under supervision of their parents; teach them wise se of money
and show interest in their organizations; guide the children to
_think in terms of others and try
to make tenant farming more

stable. |
