: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...
:49:01
-There are other type of men here.
-Yes there are.
:49:03
Men who aren't so responsible.
We can control them only to a point.
:49:07
-Bailey's a good example.
-He runs the gas station.
:49:09
He's a very good boy
and he wanted to come too.
:49:12
In which case the conversation
would've been different.
:49:15
We said to Bailey,
"Let's go over and talk to him."
:49:18
-"Give him a chance".
-And that was all right with him.
:49:21
We made it all right with him.
:49:22
-We want to help you, but Bailey...
-Hard boy to reason with.
:49:26
Yes. he is.
:49:27
And there's a whole lot
like him in this town.
:49:30
Really.
:49:36
We want you to know
how we feel about it.
:49:39
I understand your feeling.
I'd like to think it over.
:49:53
Betty,
would you ask them to come in?
:49:58
You all come on in.
