cents and 35 cents.
^ssed by the "big boys. Wae-
ther or not the new n™«tnps operators
agreed to kick in any such
amount as this is not known,!
However, suffice it to say, their 1
runners are working, appar¬
ently without interference.
At present, the name under
which this new boledo group 1 >|
operating has not been made
public,, but it .s sad to bej
headed by several men who!
know' the game from A to Z and!
who tasted of the $90,COOj
a week melon which the game
afforded then.
Ofcourse, the operators, being
old aces in the game and know-
.r,g that anything may happen
any time, have trumped up an
innovation in the event heat is
placed on the ru mers. If this
comes to pass, the activity of
the runners on the streets w 11
be curtailed and concentration
will be made on rales in stores
cafes
business, such as is clone in st v
eral northern cities where the
game s prevalent.
The advent of the new set-up
in the boledo field brings the
total number of organized hous- (
es up to three. The other two,
are“ The Strawberry” and
Greasy Pig . T ie latter two
muse; employ 10 runners each,
and while they are “organized”i
they do' not seem to enjoy im-
munity .rcm mole^tat on by
the minions of the law.
Then, too, there is another
set of sellers of racket
known as “Outlaws”. Their
number is estimated to be in
the neighborhood of 20 , every
one of whom 0 in the racket on
his own and is looked upon
askance by (he “organized”
group These ‘independents
as they call themselves, sell
their numbers from 2 cents to
1,0 cents, the average being 5
cents. The “organized” group
asks 1C cents flat for each num¬
ber. Often the “independents”
muscle in on the other fellows
and pay off by the w nning
number of the bigger group, but
.most often they simply
their winning number without
the ceremony of holding a pub¬
lic number drawing.
Sometimes the “organized”
group adopt the non-public see¬
ing drawmg._

At the hearing Tuesday morn-

lie establishment of a nursing
home in the area. An undertaker
pointed to the traffic hazard say¬

was an area for apartment houses

The counsel for the complain¬
ants said that the noise of the sick
patients, the coming and going of
delivery trucks, ambulances and
visitors would create a noise and

When permitted to speak, Mrs.
Green told the commission that as
far rs traffic was concerned, none
of her patients would walk the
treets alone if at all. She said
that ...uo there was ample space ... in the —
rear of the building for all deliv-
eries '>*•>"= and " rwl AneW-nM* visitors’ cars.
The hearing was shocked when
she openly charged her prospective
“neighbors” with not wanting her
in the vicinity because she was
colored. She pointed to the phone
calls and the wrecked property.

commission, rebuked her openly for

The case was dismissed and the
petition signed by the whites in the
area in question was taken under
advisement,
When interviewed, Mrs. Green
said if h?r plans are rebuffed by
the commission, and since one of
the main objections to her home is

She, alsn, related .-he resented
the “weak way they tried to prove

‘solely on the basis of race and I

The injunction suit brought by [ |
Miss Bates, lists Richard .less!
White as in “intervenor” in op- I
position to the superintendent and 1
broad of trustees of the school
district. The filing of the brie? ■
with an answering brief from ,ho
defendants, represents argum v.
dosing the hearing of the suiv j
last December on its merits. Both
sides had agreed to submit briefs
n lien of oral arguments.
The plantiffs’ brief stated “the
, record in this case is replete
I with evidences that race discrimi- J
i | nation is the only factor which j
could possiMv account for tlie
grea( . rtiserepanPy between the
j.salaries L paid to Negro and white
j eac y, ers
, ' h(i plantiffs ) {lo no t
quarrel with standards for fixing
l. salaries set up by the legislature,
| hut . the .. fact /• , that 1 I..Z iL. the statues and
J rules by which the dewendants I
claim to lie governed in making
j their determination to salaries ^
as
, are fair on their face, is not, a|
defense suffkient in law if in
their application they are admin¬
istered in such a \vay as to re¬
sult in discrimination.”
Judge Mize remarked at 1hc
dose of the hearing in December
that the Jackson school board
apparently had intended no dis¬
crimination, but evidence might
show that discrimination had iieen
i-rfvned on in application of stand¬
ards.
“The relief requested by the
piaintiffs is the only relief which
a court of equity in good con¬
science can decree for the clear
evidence of discrimination based
solely on race and color and the
climate of ofiinion in Jackson does
not warrant leniency or justify
leaving room for discrimination
in the matter as to the immediate
future,” the brief stated.
