Specific charges against other leaders were not revealed Aceording to Miss Sara T Walsh, director of UPW's na¬ tional teachers division, the board’s action amounts to a “flagrant case of Intimidation of teachers in an attempt at union-busting. It has been preceded by a series of efforts by the sahool .superintendent, such as attempting to get chers to sign statements that they do not want pay equal to that of white teachers. “The fight of local 683, led by Mrs Gainer, is a tribute to the courage of the Negro tea- chers in Birmingham- Victory in the equalization suit and in persuading the school board and superintendent to reverse their positions on the dismis¬ sals will be an important con¬ tribution toward strengthening the determination of Negro teachers everywhere for the re moval of discrimination.” Two years ago, the teachers group instituted and won a lower court suit requiring the county schools superintendent to establish equal salaries for Negro and white teachers. His refusal to comply with the court mandate led the group to UPW, CIO, under the lead- ership of Mrs- Gainer, Mrs- Gainer was formerly president of the County Teach- ers association, and chairman of the High Eehool Teachers division of the Alabama Negro Teachers association, j- Qecoratte Graves Of Deceased Vets ~ Continued fro m page 1 of william P Jordan Post, No . 500i Amer ican Legion.
