Lets Negroes Work 8 Hours
A Day And White
Men Nine
ATLANTA, Ga., September 28—
Criticizing John Holder for his stand ‘
for negro labor in the highway de
partment, Alex S. Chamlee, cam
paign manager for Dr. L. G. Hard
man, issued the following statement
to the press today: |
“J would like to have John Holder
cxplain his po.sition in employing ne
are ‘_la_boi". When' the ' highway
building were constducted at East
Pcint Mr, Holder stated to the 'white
carpencrs of Atlanta, according, to
information that I have, that they
would work nine hours a day. He
paid them approximately 80 ccntsl
an hour. When negro plasterers
ghowed up on the job for work he
informed their leader that they must
work nine hours., The leader replied:
‘Boss we only work cight hours.”
They refused to work and were get
ting ready to return to Atlanta. Mr.
Hold;zr held a hasty conference with
the foreman and ordered the ncgroes‘
to proceced to work on their terms.
He 'paid the negroes $1.25 an hour.
What must one think of a man who
‘ aspires to the governor’s office thutl
- would force a white man to work
’ nine hours a day when he let the ne
| groes work eight hours?
' “Mr. Holder, according to law, has
full power on the highway board
| when it is not in session. He hired
iaml fires men. He fixes their sal
i ariegs He employs any kind of help,‘
whether they are needed or not. To--
‘ day in every section of the state you
gee negroes driving trucks and trac
l.‘.tdts when these jobs should be givcn‘
, to white men. ‘
“Then there is the matter of waste |
in the higaway department. Cut at?
lEas:t Point and in many counties
throughout the state one may (;h-j
serve all kinds of road machinery
idle and rvsting. Men are on the
pay roll are working for the elee

because he roads are not being prop
erly worked. Instead ‘of the 'tla'x_p'ay

it is"being used for thepolitical ma
chine.
** “Mr, Holder has never told the
voters of this state what he did wihl
he $500.00 he received a the state
capitol during the session of the leg
islature and a few hours prior to the
passage of the famous ‘midnight bill’
