:47:00
Come on in.
What can I do for you?
:47:03
Thank you. Now Mr. Glover,
we've come here to help you.
:47:07
-Mr. Todd is President of our bank.
-Just fine.
:47:10
And Mr. Thompson,
he's our undertaker,
:47:12
also runs a furniture store,
very highly respected.
:47:16
I'm just a plain business man.
:47:18
Won't you sit down?
:47:20
I tell you this so you'll know
who you're talking with.
:47:24
You might say we're the responsibles
of the town.
:47:27
I see and you're here
to tell me that
:47:32
if I hire Negroes
the whites will quit, is that it?
:47:38
Why, not at all.
What makes you think that?
:47:42
Sorry.
:47:43
Just have to keep them
in separate gangs.
:47:46
Keeping them...
:47:47
In separate gangs.
:47:53
All right. I will do that.
:47:57
We were sure you would.
:47:59
Now Mr. Glover,
how much you planning to pay them?
:48:02
You're not planning
to pay them the same as the whites?
:48:05
The jobs are the same.
:48:06
-You look like a reasonable man.
-You do.
:48:09
So just think,
after this project is over
:48:12
we can't go on paying them
as much as the white man.
:48:15
Would ruin our whole economy.
:48:19
The Federal Government
can't make such distinctions.
:48:23
Still, we prefer that you pay
their usual wage.
:48:26
How much do the whites get?
:48:28
Five dollars a day.
:48:30
You surely don't intend to pay
these darkies five dollars?
:48:34
I'll go out myself
for five dollars a day.
:48:37
I'll get you the biggest,
strongest
:48:39
best-looking bucks in this country
for two dollars a day.
:48:43
We're all for the TVA
and we want to help you,
:48:46
so if you'll cooperate on this point,
everything will be just fine.
:48:51
If I don't go along with you?
:48:58
As I said, we're the responsibles
of this town, but...
