Man Neglects to Pay Crew for Work
An unemployed group of about 25 Negro men and boys were hired to pull turnips by a truck-for-hire operator who did not pay them. John H. Bell, chairman of the unemployment committee, said the crew met at a corner and worked on a farm six miles from the city before the operator and the farm owner left for Birmingham without paying or returning for the workers. The agency had provided meals, and some had been promised work the previous Saturday. The question remains whether the operator should have contacted the unemployment office to arrange payment.
