BROTHERHOOD OF SLEEPING CAR PORTERS.—Chicago Division 4231 Michigan Avenue Chicago. Illinois (Continued from page One) discussion of “The Negro woman and the labor movement,” was made in a challenging, fundamental and charm ing talk by Miss Thyra J Edwards, prominent social worker who has re ceived a scholarship to study political science in the internationally known People’s College in Blsinore, Den mark. She gave a dramatic and vivid description of the hard and difficult struggle of the wives and sisters oi the coal miners in southern Illinois Reid-Duffy Pharmacy 124th & Lake St. Webster 0609 f ree Delivery to help their fathers, brothers and sons to win a bare subsistance wage from the despotic coal barons who have sought to break the miners’ union with the bullets of hired gun men and things. “Though facing con stant starvation and eviction, the miners’ wives banded themselves to gether in a formidable and militant ladies’ auxiliary bent on sharing, side by side, and arm in arm, the bitter hardships and suffering of their men in resistting the ruthless and brutal attacks of the mine bosses,” said Miss Edwards. “I is not enough to receive the check of the mine workers and the women decided that it was their imperative duty to learn something about the conditions under which the checks were earned, and to make I the*r sacrifice in making those con ditions better and more tolerable for their men,” continued Miss Edwards. An enthusiastic discussion followed these addresses. Tueday night, Mr. A Philip Ran dolph, National President of the Bro therhood of Sleeping Car Porters, made the principal address on the “Present'and Future Program of the Pullman Porters’ Union.” He predict ed that the Brotherhood would win recognition from the Pullman Com pany, secure a decent wage and the 240-hour work month for the porters. “Even if there had been no N R A , ihe Brotherhood would have won its fight because of the militant and aggressive spirit of our movement,” ...

He scored the Negro Uncle Toms and stool pigeons of the Pullman Company, and charged them with being the worst enemy of the porters. He pictured the cam paign of demonstrations and parades by the porters and Negro workers generally in New York, in which the bank of Morgan was picketed and meetings staged before the doors of the Pullman offices denouncing the oppressive tactics of Simon Legree Superintendents. He expressed great appreciation for the cooperation and support the Brotherhood was re ceiving from the enlightened and pro gressive Negro papers, churches civic and fraternal organizations through out the country, and said that the greatest need of the American Negro today is to develop labor mir.dedness which would enable him to under stand and appreciate the class and economic basis of his problem. Dr Paul H Douglas, head of the Department of Economics of the Uni versity of Chicago, and eminent lib era^ made a searching, scientific, analytical and comprehensive talk on the origin, nature, scope and signi ficance of N R A. Mr. Douglas was recently appointed expert eco nomic adviser on codes to the Re covery Act by President Roosevelt. He viewed with promise and hope the development and out come of Presi dent Roosevelt's recovery legislation, but also indicate the dangers that exist which may bring failure and collapse. He condemned the effort of the United States Steel Corporation and automotive industries’ attempts to maintain company unions and open shop features in their codes of fair practices. ^Under N R A , busi ness is organizing into giant trade associations as well as developing strong organzations in plant mana gement, besides having as a capstans of its triple organizational structure the advisory council on industry, which is composed of the most pow erful industrial, financial and busi ness chiefs of America,” said he “If labor hopes to build a status of power and influence so that it may win standards of decency, comfort and health, and keep its wages steadily rising with the rapid upturn in prices, the workers must organize along parallel lines with capital into indus trial unions,” continued the Professor. He praised the new move of the American Federation of Labcr in seeking to organize steel and iron, textiles, rubber, and automotive in dustries along industrial union linos through the machinery of the Fed eral unions. “I am working for the success of N R. A , though I am not a partisan in politics, being neith er affiliated with the Republican .or democratic parties, because I feel that if this significant and splendid effort of the President to conqur and beat the depression fails, our country faces the possibility of the 'ise of Fascism, headed by an American Hit ler, who will sweep sway all of our democratic civil and political liber ties,” declared Professor Douglas. He ended his talk by urging that the Pull man porters who are members of the union be stir themselves in carrying the message to their fellow workers and bringing them into the fold of organization, and expressed his ar dent wish and hopes that the Bro therhood should win recognition from the Pullman Company. One of the international vice presi dent of the Brotherhood of Railway car man, and special correspondent for “Labor,” organ of the twenty one standard railroad unions, Mr. E K Hogan, spoke Thursday night on the “Trade Union Movement and N. R A He assured the Pullman port ers of the support and backing of their white railroad fellow workers, and predicted victory for the porters under the aggressive and courage ous leadership of the Brotherhood. He denounced the company union and yellow dog contract as a species of industrial tyranny which the N. R A , is sweeping into eternal ob livion. Mr. M P Webster, chairman of the General Executive Board of B S C. P and who has arranged the program for the Eighth Anniversary, made a stirring and able address on the “Negro worker and the Trade Union Movement.” “No effort which does not seek to organize the Negro workers into trade and industrial WANTED 10,000 Dilapidated Cars i and 20,000 Used .

Mr. Hennie Smith, second vice president of the Brotherhood, who because of his militant fight to or ganize the porters in Jacksonville, Florida, was forced to leave by con spiracies of the Pullman company against him, gave an interesting and entertaining description of the opera tion of the employee representation plan and of his experinc in the Pull man wage conferences, one agree ment of which, despits great pressure by higlf Pullman officials, he refused to sign.

In less than a week after the ar rival of the boat, Omahans and visit ors were sold on the idea that Iht Missouri River is not merely the dividing line between Iowa and Neb raska but something that can be used for pleasure. Crowds nearing the capacity num ber of 650 have flocked o the excur sion boat every evening for a three hour trip down the river and back. On Saturday evenings two trips, one at 9 p m , and another at 1 a m , have been necessary to accommodate the overflow crowds. And for those not caring for the evening dance trips, the “Valley Queen” makes aft ernoon sightseeing excursions on Sat urday and Sunday. The novelty of boating in Nebraska is one explanation for the steamer s popularity, but more important than that are the facts that it is always cool on the river, that the music is good and the crowds congenial. Officers of the Omaha Navigation Company, which operates the “Valley Queen,” have expressed themselves as well pleased with the recepton which their boat has received. “According to various conversations I have had with patrons,” one officer said, “the crowds are coming aboard night aft er night, not because it is something new and different to do, but rather because it is the most pleasant and comfortable place to dance in Oma ha.” FUND ALLOTMENT FOR RIVER WORK FORMALLY MADE Forest W'ork Money Also Is Provided for Nebraska OTHERS NEARBY Formal allotment of $14,211,108 of federal funds for public works in Nebraska was announced Wednesday in Associated Press dispatches from Washington and from Denver, Colo rado.

FINLEY WILSON SEEKS TO OUST RECEIVERS AND MUTUALIZE NATIONAL BENEFIT WASHINGTON — (CNS) — In a determined effort to wrest control of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company from the hands of its two white receivers and reorganize into a mutual life insurance company, J Finley Wilson, has submitted as in tervener, a comprehensive plan, to the District of Columbia Supreme Court. The plan submitted through his at torneys is based on a document filed in that court in July, 1933 and calls for the operation and management of the company by its policy-holders, as owners. According to he plan the court is requested to order the receivers, Gil brt A Clark and Frank Bryan, Jr , to show cause why they should not immediately file a full report of the financial condition of the company up to and including August 15 In addition, the petition specifies that the receivers should also show cause why they should not “cooper ate to the fullest degree” with Mr Wilson to secure necessary author ization from all policyholders to carry out the plan of mutualization; also why they should not utilize to the fullest extent the present field agents and employees in furtherance of the plan. The plan, as now submitted by Mr Wilson’s attorneys, is supplemental to the one filed in July and is based on the report filed by the receivers, December 15, 1932. This report set forth that the total value of the as- i sets distributable as equities to policy holders amounted to $1,060, 763.06, as of September 9, 1931. The Wilson plan is also based upon : the theory that the assets in the hands of the receivers, remaining af ter the cost of the receivership is de ducted, and all claims are settled, are the property of the policy holders. It is upon the value of these distribut able equities that Intervener Wilson expects to secure the basis for the working capital in the organization of a mutual life insurance company. It is claimed that the Wilson plan affords a method for the utilization of approximately 75 per cent of the company’s assets, listed as real es-1 tate, through cooperation of the policy holders, to prevent a total loss, which would likely reclaims on an equitable basis. The proposed mutual company, for which a charter has already been worked out, would be organized under the legal reserve plan. Equities dis tributable to the policy holders would be the basis for the working capital. The new company would take over the assets and insurance business of the National Benefit and provide for the settlement of all claims against it. As a medium for transferring the assets, business, and claims of the National Benefit to the new com pany, a contract of reinsurance would be entered into between the receivers and the hew company. In the event that the assets turned over to the new company are inade quate to meet the obligations, the plan is to compose the differences with the policy holders by either of the following methods: (a) By reducing the amount of insurance and the premiums propor tionately. (b) Ey reducing the amount of insurance, the premiums remaining the same. (c) By increasing premiums, the insurance remaining the same. (d) By the imposition of a lien. Under a suggested moratorium uo ;ash surrender or loan values on any if the business reinsured, based upon ;he present reserve would be paid by :he new company prior to the ex piration of five years from the ef fective date of the contract of rein surance. The said moratorium would pot apply to any values created by premiums paid subsequent to the ef-, 'ective date of the contract of rein surance. In the event the court grants In-, tervener Wilson permission to trv out his plan, a period of 90 days j. requested for the perfection of the reorganization. The petition also pro vides for instruction to the receivers They would bom directed by the court to extend to him the full ami unlimited facilities of the receiver ship, and to make available to him the entire agency and other employes for the purpose of presenting the re organization plan to the policy holders and creditors of the company. The employee^ would also be used in se curing from them whatever author ization might be found necessary.

RELIEF FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS Federal Aid Promised Cloned Schools The National Urban League is ask ing leaders among Negroes in all sections of the country to read fol lowing authorization sent to gover nors and state emergency relief ad ministrators by Harry L Hopkins, Administrator of the Federal Emer gency Relief Administration. This ruling, if applied to Negro teachers and schools, will enable many of those closed for lack of funds to be open ed. The ruling as follows: “To The Governors and State Emer gency Relief Administrators: Your relief commission is author ized to use Federal relief funds now available or to be made available by the Federal Emergency Relief Ad ministration to pay work relief wages to needy unemployed teachers or other persons competent to teach and assign them to class rooms up through the eighth grade, provied; first, that these teachers are assign ?d by the relief officers to appropriate educational authorities who will have entire supervision over their activi ties; secondly, provided that they are assigned only to those schools which prior to this date have been ordered closed or partially closed for the coming school year because of lack of funds; third, this applies only to rural counties. State Relief Admin istrations are also authorized and urged to pay from above funds relief work wages to needy unemployed persons competent to teach adults unable to read and write English This applies to cities as well as rural counties. Under no circumstances should relief funds be used to relieve counties of their proper responsibility for education, nor should these activi ties permit the substitution relief teachers for regulaily emplo/ed tea chers.
