BROTHERHOOD OF SLEEPING
CAR PORTERS
firothrehood Route* N®w PaQmaa
Company Union Scheme
Upon the ai*iv*l of A. Phillip
Randolph. National President of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters
*n Chicago from a six weeks organi
zation campaign through the far west
and middlewest, he pointed out that
the new Company Union scheme
known as the Pullman Posters and
Maids Protective Association had
been completely routed and practical
ly annihilated in all the districts he
and M. P. Webster, chairman of the
General Executive Board Bennie Smith
■second vice president and C- L.. Del
lums. fourth vice president, had visit
ed.
Jn desperation the Pullman Podters
«nd Maids Protective Association, al
though every evidence is available to
show that the Pullman Porters have
paid very litle money into, it, has
sent out some eight or nine thousand
letters, a very expensive procedure, to
Pullman Porters with bulletins, au
thcrization cards and a constitution to j
lino up the porters and maids, said
Mr- Randolph. In many districts
these letters were sent t* the Pull
man porter in care of the Superin
tendent which is a subtle form, of
intimidation, coercion and interfer
•ence, a practice which is in conflict
with the provisions of the Railway
Labor Act as amended by the 73rd
Congress continued Mr. Randolph.
Porters all over the country are
up In revolt agaiynst the Pullman of
ficals, including the Superintendents
®nd their assistants in the various
district, being used te promote the
fortunes of the Pullman Porters and
Maids Protective Association, a com
pany Union organization, which like
a mushroom has come up overnight
and is unfit to represent the Pullman
porters and maids because of lack of
knowledge, courage, responsibility
and independence, continued the por
tors’ leader, Mr. Randolph.
Inquries are coming thick and f*st
as to where this new organization
Is getting its money from to send
out a printed constitution of many
pages. &n authorization card and a
large envelope to nine thousand men.
The comment is that the Pullman
porters have not put up tho money
because they didn’t have it to put
up, which is another powerful reason
why this new' move known as the
PnUman Porters and Maids Protective
Association Is the voice of Jacob hut'
the hand of E^au. observed Mr. Ra*
dolph
But, Randolph continued, this new
organization is falling before the ag
gresive and militant drive of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters
and its aroused, intelligent and
spirited membership, like a hous® of
cards. Realizing the great struggle,
sacrifice and suffering the porters
hay® endured to build the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters, which was
responsible for the Pullman porters
securing the recognized status of
railroad workers, which makes them
subject to the jurisdiction of all ie
gielation affecting railroad workers,
the bonafide union porters of th*
Brotherhood are bitter and resentful
against any stool pigeon organization
which attempt* to serve the Pullman
•Company b|y trying to stop the on
ward, steady, rapid, constructive and
irreeistible march of the Brotherhood
toward certain victory concluded Mr.
Randolph.

HOW THEY RAN
The chart below tells a multitude of
stories, "peaking far itself in uumis
takabl« language. It tells a story of
the unqualified endorsement of the
Hon. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and
the New Deal; in tha election of coun
ty officers it shows a demand for
representation in eemployment in
proportion to onr voting strength; it
shows low intellect and response to
passion and prejudice on the part of
white voters i* the first, second and
seventh precIncts in supporting one
Dan Phillips for legislature an also
ran. against Johnny Owen and John
Adams, Jr., its shows a break from
traditional republican!®!* and an k
telligent response to a Sonstructive
program. Last but not k»st it shows
that the Negro voter hPs ousted the
political panhandlers and self ap
pointed leaders *nd i» fighting for ,
justice and right shoulder to shoulder
with all creed? and raoea of fair
minded men and women and that
white politician* can no longer p'ck
Negro Leadership for the Negro, but
th»t the Negro reserves that right
| to himself. t

vote to them,. Senator Koan’s Negro
campaign managers even used the
