‘Slavery’ Is Charged on Flood Control Projects

‘Negro Workers Paid 10 Cents Hour 12 Hours a Day/ Says Report. By Bni ppt-H oiinrfi N( irtpi/fier A Ilia nee. WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.—MajorGeneral Lytle Brown, chief of army engineers, is having new' charges of "virtual slavery" among workers on Mississippi flood control projects investigated, but no report has yet been made to him. The new complaints reached him through official channels from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which charged that "Negro workers in the flood control camps along the Mississippi river are being paid an average wage of 10 cents on hour for a twplve-hour day and a seven-day week," and that "conditions of ‘virtual slavery’ exist in the camps.” At the war department it was learned that there may be some work being done along the levees for which 10 cents an hour is paid. Howevpr. the department itself does not permit such pay nor sueh< long hours among workers it hires directly. It holds that it has no rights over contractors except those stipulated in the contracts, although as the

result of an earlier inquiry, conducted on similar charges made through the American Federation of Labor some months ago, certain conditions of wages and work environment were declared remedied The department does insist, however. it was said, that prevailing wage scales be paid. The new complaint charges that “camp commissary prices are from 100 to 500 per cent of regular store prices.” "In a Mississippi camp." the association’s report says, "the contractor himself took the lead in brutal treatment. are said to occur daily. "At one camp two men were whipped for refusing to work at night after working all day. Brutality was reported in about half the camps visited. “Very little attention is given sanitary facilities for Negroes, although white workers are fairly well cared for." Lad Accused of Burglary Charges of burglary and larceny were filed today by detectives against Walter Easten, 16, of 801 East St Clair street, alleged to have stolen an electric drill valued at S9O from the Capitol Ice Company, 935 East North street.

McAdoo’s Fate Up to Voters

BY HARRY W. SHARPE I'nited Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 30 Factional strife within the Democratic party and a wet-dry fight in Republican ranks created bitterness ind enthusiasm as Californians voted today to nominate candidates for United States senator, congressmen, state legislature and the appellate bench. The old political rivalry of William Gibbs McAdoo. former secretary of the treasury, and former Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, was a major issue in the Democratic senatorial race. McAdoo, himself a candidate, opposed Justice S. Wardell. San Francisco. recognized until the recent Democratic national convention as nominal head of the party in California. Wardell, Smith supporter in 1928, campaigned for Franklin D. Roosevelt and headed the ticket which sought to win California's convention votes for the New Yorker. McADoo blocked this movement, however, and won the state's delegation for John N. Garner. Shortly after this, and just prior to the national convention, McAdoo announced his own candidacy and. armed with California's forty-foui votes for Garner, he went to the convention.
