Company on the question of repra. sentation, wages, hours of work( and rules governing working eonditions. September 8, 1933.

Dear Sir: Ag the duly authorized representa. tires of the majority of the porters! and maids now employed by the Pull j man Company> the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, a labor organ, ization affiliated with the American Federation ad Labor, hereby requests a conference with the manaegment of the Pullman Company to negotiate azi agreement on wages and rules gorerniag working conditions for Pullman porters and maids, in eon. formity with the principles pro. mulgated by the Railway Labor Act, the Railway Emergency Act, anti the general program for the readjust, ment of wages and hours of work as outlined under the National Recovery Act The duly authorized represent*, tivttj of the porters and maids now in the employ of the Pullman Com. pany, will be pleased to arrange this eonferenee at the earliest aonven. ience to the management of the Get Your Chicken for Sunday’s Di-N-N-E-R FRESH LARGE HEAVY' HENS, Per lb. 13c LEGHORN HENS, Light, Per lb. 10c MEDIUM SIZE ROOSTERS, Per lb. 9c HEAVY SPRINGERS, Per lb. 15c LEGHORN SPRINGERS, Per lb. ... 12c Y OUNG DL CKLINGS, Just right for roast, lb. 12c Strictly fresh Country EGGS, doz. 15c & 18c —(Just Brought In Today)— POULTRY DRESSED WHILE YOU WAIT Omaha Poultry House 1114 hi. 24th St. -We Deliver WE-llOO Pullman Company. Yours truly, (Signed) A PHILIP RANDOLPH, National President—Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Because of the fact that the hours of work and scale of wages for Pfell_ man porters and maids are out of all I harmony with the standards now be_, ing set by President Roosevelt’s ad_; ministration for the purpose of ef_ fecting industrial reccvery, the Bro_1 therhood of Sleeping Car Porters! seeks the readjustment of the work, ing conditions and wages of Pullman porters and maid, in accordance with the declaration of Honorable Joseph B Eastman, Coordinator of Federal Transportation under the Railway Bmergency Act, who, in a press re_ - -- — >wv^»viiwvi UUU<| said: “Where any hourly, daily or monthly employee, whether in a supervisory capacity 0r otherwise, is now requined or permitted to work more than eight hours per day as a regular assignment, this situation should be changed ” Continuing he says, “Railroad management and rail road labor should give immediate con sideration to the problem of keeping railroad wages in line with other industrial pay. It appears” says Co. ordinator Eastman, “that there are some employees in the railway ser. vice whose wage rates are not estab. lished by agreements with labor or. ganizations and that ijj some few instances these are receiving hourly and daily compensation below the hoilrlyt daily and weekly minimums established for analogous work by the code3 of fair competition ap. proved by the President for other in. dustries.” According to A Philip Randolph, National President of the Brother, hood of Sleeping Car Porters, the Pullman Company comes within the category of railway carriers whose wage scale and hours of work for porters and maids are not consistent with the principles of Federal legis. lation governing this class of work and the spirit of the National Re. covery Act. “There are porters” continues Mr. Randolph, “who are wonking four hundreds hours and more a month, which is on* hundred sixty hours above the eight hour day standard. As a result of these long hours, some four thousand porters are furloughed and hundreds put on the extra list where they only work a few days a month Despite the fact,” says Ran. dolph, “that a number of porters have been called back to work during the summer period, unless the basic work month of these men is materially shortened, many of them will be in the ranks of the unemployed when the summer period of work terminates.” “Federal Coordinator Eastman urges the railway carriers to enter into a conference with their em_ ployees with a view of effecting agreements to reduce hours of work and increase wages> according to his aforementioned statement is the na_ tion’s press,” states Randolph. President Randolph, is in Chicago conferring with M P. Webster, I chairman of the General Executive Board, and mapping out plans of act ion to follow whatever action the Pullman Company takes in reference to the above request for conference. Many porters who could not be ap_ proached heretofore on the question of organization are now manifesting strong interest in the program of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Port, ers PAUL ROBESON NEVER TO SING IN ITALIAN, FRENCH OR GERMAN AGAIN NEW YORK—(CNS) — London, England, reporters, say that Paul Robeson has declared his intention of never again singing in Italian, French or German, instead he is said to be looking for a “great Russian Opera or play, or some great Hebrew or Chinese work, which he says he will be able to render with the necessary degree of understanding. I do not under the psychology or philosophy of the Frenchman Ger_ man or Italian. Their history has nothing in common with the history of my slave ancestors. So I will not sing their music, nor the songs of their ancestors . , . The trouble with the American Negro is that he has an inferiority complex. He fails to realize that he comes of a great an_ cestry linked with the great races of the Orient . . . What he should do is 1 try for ‘black greatness’ and not an imitation of ‘white greatness.’ I am more than ever convinced that the j African civilization dates back to the| times when Oriental culture, including J that from China, began to influence j the Western world. I believe where | the Afro American made his mistake was when he began trying to mimic the West instead of developing the really great tendencies he inherited from the East. I believe the Negro can achieve his former greatness only if he learns to follow his natural tendencies, and ceases trying to mas ter the greatness of the West. My own instincts are Asiatic.” VETERANS OF 92nd AND 3rd. DIVISIONS, WORLD’S WAR TO CELEBRATE AT AMERICAN LEGION CON.

FEDERAL OFFICE O F EDUCATION SERVICE TO NEGRO SCHOOLS Haw the Federal Office of Educa tion serves Negro schools is told by Dr Ambrose Caliver, in the May is_ sue of the Southern Workman. Dr Caliver is senior specialist in the edu cation of Negroes for the Federal Office of Education. The Federal Government’s educa tional service to Negroes is reviewed by the writer from the time of the Offioe of Education’s establishment, in 1867, up to the present. The special interest in Negro education of each United States Commissioner of Edu cation from Dr Henry Barnard, the first Commissioner, to Dr William John Cooper, the present Commission er, is explained. It is pointed out that since 1870 every annual report of a United States Commissioner of Education has contained something about Negro schools and Negro education. During this time nearly 250 such references have appeared in the anual reports, and 14 circulars, special reports and bulletins on the education of Negroes have been published. These publica tions are listed in the Southern W/orkman article. In 1930 the Office of Education created a new section devoted ex clusively to the problems of Negro education. Various activities of this new section are discussed. Dr Cali ver, who has charge of this work, avers that he does not attempt to be responsible for all the services which the Office of Education is called up on to give to colored people On he contrary* his task is to use as many specialists as possible in the prose cution of his work, and to focus their expert knowledge, in their special fields, on problems coming to him; also to encourage the inclusion of the Negro in as many of their regular and special studies as possible. In addition to disseminating exist ing information concerning conditions respecting the education of Negroes, the Federal Office of Education makes regular studies and special sur veys with a view to increasing the fund of knowledge on the subject. Three such studies are in press now A fourth is ready for press. Dr Caliver believes that one of the great needs at present is to arousc more interest and to increase the professional outlook of persons in the field of Negro education. He encour ages the seeking and requesting of information and aid, and a eontribut ing toward correcting some of the faults in Negro education by prompt response to inquiries sent out by the Federal Office of Education. Closing his article in the Southern Workmen, Dr Caliver expresses the belief “that continued collection and publication of important facts about Negro education by the Federal Of fice of Education and other agencies will furnish needed material for the formulation of policies in local schools, communities and States. It will afford a basis for comparison with localities doing an especially fine educational job, and will finally arouse the best people of our Amer ican republic to a higher sense of re sponsibility in bridging the gaps and repairing the defects in our education al system, thus providing adequate facilities for the Negro properly to prepare himself for intelligent and constructive citizenship ” __ FINDINGS Second Amenia (N. Y.) Con ference, Aug. 18-21,1933 This conference was called to make a critical appraisal of the Negro’s exisiting situation in American so. I ciety and to consider underlying prin. ciples for future action. Such critic. I i5111 at this stage doas not involve the offering of concrete program foi any organization for administrative guidance There has been no attempt to dis. parage the older type of leadership We appreciate its importance am contributions^ but we feel that in i period in which economic, political and social values are rapidly shifting and the very structure of organizec society is being revamped, the leader ship which is ncessary is that which will intergrate the special problems of the Negro within the larger issue* facing the nation. The primary problem is economic Individual ownership expressing it self through the cmtrol and exploita. tion of natural resources and indus. trial machinery has failed in the past to equalize consumption with pro duction. As a result of this failure the whole System of private property and private profit is being called into question. The government is being forced to attempt an economic reor ganization based upon a "co partner ship between capital, labor and gov ernment itself is attempting to augment consumptive power by in creasing wages, shortening hours and controlling the labor and commodity markets. As a consumer the Negro; has always had a low purchasing power as a result of his low wages coir.ng from his inferior and restrict ed position in the labor market If the government program fails to make full and equal provision for the Negro, it cannot be effective in re storing economic stability In the past there has been a great er exploitation of Negro labor than of any other section of the working class, manifesting itself particularly in lower wages, longer hours, exces sive use of child labor and a higher proportion of women at work Furth. ermore, there has been slight recogni tion by Negro labor or Negro leaders of the significance of this exploitation m the economic order. No technique or philosophy has been developed to change the historic status of Negro labor. Hence in the present govern mental set up there is grave danger that thig historic status will be per petuated. As a result, the lower wages on the one hand will reduce the pur chasing power of Negro labor and on the other be a constant threat to the standards and security of white labor. The question then arises how far exisiting agencies working among and for Negroes are theoretically and structurally prepared to cope with this situation. It is the opinion of the conference that the welfare of white and black labor are one and inseparable and that the exisiting agencies working among and for Ne groes have conspicuously failed in facing a necessary alignment of black and white labor. It is impossible to make any per manent improvement in the status and the security of white labor with out making an identical improvement in the status and the security of Ne gro labor The Negro worker must be made conscious of his relation to white labor and the white worker must bo made conscious that the pur poses of labor, immediate or ultimate cannot be achieved, without full participation by the Negro worker. The traditional labor movement, based upon craft autonomy and separatism, which is non-political in outlook and which centers its atten tion upon the control of jobs and wages for the minority of skilled white workers, is an ineffective agen. cy for aligning white and black labor for the larger labor objectives. These objectives can only be at tained through a new labor move ment. This movement must direct its immediate attention to the organiz ing of the great mass of workers both skilled and unskilled, ybite and black. Its activities must be political as well as economic for the purpose of effect ing such social legislation as old age pensions, unemployment insurance, the regulation of child and female labor etc These social reforms may go to the extent of change in the form of government itself.

Benson Park, 7Bt and Military Avenue. TZZZZZZZZIIZIIIZIirr (2) Communism. (3) Reformed Democracy. The conference is opposed to Fas cism because it would crystalize the Negro’s position at the bottom of the social structure Communism is im possible without a fundamental trans formation in the psychology and the attitude of white workers on the race question and a change in the Negro’s conception of himself as a worker. A Democracy that is attempting to re form itself is a fact which has to be reckoned with In the process of re form, the interests of the Negro can not be adequately safeguarded by white paternalism in government. It is absolutely indispensable that in this attempt of the government to control agriculture and industry, there be adequate Negro representation on all boards and field staffs. While the accomplishment of these larger aims cannot be achieved ex. cept through the cooperation of white and black, the primary responsibility for the initiation, development and execution of this program rest* upon the Negro himself. This is predicated upon the increased economic independ ence of the Negro. No matter what articifical class difference may seem to exist within the Negro group it must be recognized that all elements of the race must weld themselves to gether for the commo welfare This point of view must be indoctrined through the churches, educational in stitutions and other agencies work ing in behalf of the Negro The first steps toward the rapprochement be tween ttte educated Negro and the Negro mass must be taken by the educated Negro himself. The Findings Com mite** recom mends that the practical implications of this program be referred to a com mittee on continuation to be appoint ed by and at this conference. DR.
