Porters Union Files Application for Set tlement of Dispute on Representation New York, Jan. 17, 1935:—The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, following a preliminary appearance before the National Mediation Bosyd by A. Philip Randolph, National Pres ident, and N. P. Webster, First Vice Presidents, Friday, January 4th, in Washiagton, D. C., is filing today ap plication with the Board, invoking its services to step in and settle the ques tion as to which organization is" en titled to represent the Pullman Porr ters and maids in the negotiation of agreements concerning rates of pay and rules governing working condi tions with the Pullman Company; ac cording to Mr. Randolph. This request of the Board to deter mine and certify which orgamzation the Pullman Company shall recognize as the lawful agency fpr making and maintaining agreements, is the culmi nation of a long, hard fight covering a period of nine years by the Brother hood of Sleeping Car Porters, states Randolph. Since the organization of the Broth erhood in 1925 in New York City by a group of Pullman porters who had be come disillusioned with the plan of employee representation or a company union, the fight to secure recognition from the Pullman Company has gone through a hectic and dramatic period, j including presentation of the Pullman Porters’ case in 1928 to the United ! States Mediation Board under the Railway Labor Act of 1926; an effort to secure tbe jurisdiction of the case by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion with a view to effecting changes ! in wage rates and hours of work through an examination of the Pull man financial structure; affiliation with the American Federation of La bor in 1929 and the filing of a petition for an injunction in the Northern Federal District Court of (Illinois in Chicago. w nen tne emergency Kanway Transportation Act of 1933 was en acted, the Brotherhood of Sleepng Car Porters, because of liberal labor pro visions in the act, sought the settle ment of Its fight at that time, but up on presentation of its case to Mr. Joseph B. Eastman, Federal Coordina tor of Transportation, officials of the Brotherhood were informed that the ' Pullman Company and the Pullman j porters neither came under E. R. T. A., abbreviation for the Emergency Railway Transportation Act, or N. R. A., the National Recovery Act It was contended that the Brotherhood didn't come under the former because ; it was not a “carrier by railroad” nor under the lafter because it was a i carrier, and the National Recovery Act was only concerned with Intra | State Enterprises, observed the por ters’ leader, Mr. Randolph. Forthwith proposal for the amend ment of the Railway Labor Act of 1926 was made and a draft of the amendment formulated. But the sleeping ear porters were, by some hook or crook, excluded from the act Immediatel i representatives of the Brotherhood appeared before the Hearings of the Senate Committees under the chairmanship of Senator C. C. Dill and also the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce and presented an amendment for the inclusion of the sleeping car porters. The same was accepted and upon the basis of the Railway Labor Act as amended by the 73rd Congress, the long sought opportunity of the Broth erhood to settle the question of rep resentation and secure recognition from the Pullman Company as a law ful organization for the negotiation of agreements on the settlement of grievances was presented. A nation wide organization campaign was launched by the Brotherhood to enroll the porters as members as a basis for seeking the services of the National Mediation Board to mediate in the dispute upon representation.

Bur nett of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Mr. William F- Jager of Eddr-ville, Iowa, as directors of the Federal Land Bank , of Omaha was * announced today i (December 29) - by Governor W. I. Myers-.

In each of the 12 Farm Credit Ad ministration districts there are seven directors. Three of these, known as “local directors,” are elected by bor rowing associations—production cred- j it associations, national farm loan as sociations, and cooperative associa tions borrowing from the bank for cooperatives- Production credit asso ciations have recently elected one di rector in each of the districts, whose 1 term also commences January 1, 1935, j for three years. ■ or-'cr directors, wnose terms expire in consecutive j'ears, are known as “district directors” and are ap pointed by the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration. The seventh director is known as a “director-at I.-.rye,” and is also appointed by the Governor. “SEXUAL CAROUSALS”, SAYS WITTELS j (F^-orri the N. A. A. C. P. office) Defining lynching as a form of vendetta practiced by semi savage peoples, which “arousesd r. feeling of satisfaction (pleasure) which effectively counteracts and mitigates the pain of the offense”, Dr. Wittels warns against a too-readv tendency to explain this phenomenon , by economic laws, “tit seems quit* clear”, he says, in reference to the Claude Neal lynching, “that a sexual perversion had its way . . The sadist derives sexual pleasure and gratifica tion from the infliction of pain and •torture upon another individual and not infrequently upon animals. Deep humiliation, mutilation and murder perpetrated for pleasure are the ex treme of this perversion.” Overt Sadism becomes rarer in civ ilization “due to the law and moral inhibitions”, he points out, but #ppnr funties to indulge in it “are eagerly grasped . • . .We cannot overlook the fact that the unspeakable torture of Claude Neal takes on all the characteristics of an orgiaistic cele bration. It is characteristic of this kind of thinly veiled perversion, that the debauchers themselves are un aware, unconscous of the fact that their acts are sexual carousals. But .... 'the sexual excitement of the participants betrayed itself in unmis takable form.” To Avoid Magnetism Faraday demonstrated back In 1845 sufficiently powerful magnetic pola For practical purposes, however, glass.

TALKING THINGS OVER Bv Mildred J. Bronson • • STOLEN GOODS . Dear Readers: Calling your attention to the topic, Stolen Goods, and asking you to think it over and travel along with me, I shall try to bring it to you just as a Movie or your favorite speaker would it. is going to be a hard task for me, as it was suggested by* one of my un fortunate readers .who happens to be io prison, and who asked me to try and save some one’s freedom, while ho must pay for Ins mistakes. The article, “Crme Never Pays”, caused him to. write me. “Stolen Goods'.’ looks like a big play but is really a play with the lawT and your freedom.. There are .1000 don’.ts that I could use.with the topic, but we will just use those which are neces sary fo the'topic we would like to ex plain, . ... When some one has a great big bargain for you, and must have your word that you won’t tell, anyone be Otuse he'can’t, do any or everybody ..uch favors, don't take it. When some friend, who has just ar rived, in town, and will trust only you with his jewels, bags, and what nots to keep for him, while he goes to seek another Pal, don't take it. When someone asks you to give him a lift with your car, because he just missed hs train or bus, and his mother is at the point of death in another town, don’t do it. ii your best Pal has things that look to be far above his earnings and ho tells you that—he won them, some one gave them to him, or they be longed to his great grandparents, and he wishes you to keep them for him or is willing to give them to you or sell them to you cheaply, don’t take them Just some important Don ts . >1 will try a> uil wny it is wise to keep the “don’ts” first, friends, bargains are advertised by the press, and competi tion among the business world keeps each of them on his toes trying to show the Public his bargains. So you ;.ee, the men in business don’t keep bargains a secret and slip thena to you. It must be, as we call it, “hot”, and when it is hot, ;pu may be too hot when the law gets his man. I don't know why the ones who 'deal and sell always tell where and to whom they sell, but they do, and I found out from those who know that the buyers are subject to the same punishment as the ones who stole it, making them, lose more than the ones they bought it from. The price they paid ar.d the goods and your fine Or your libert . So, my friends, it pa. r, to follow the don’ts, and be safe and free. • cr.n see that some bargains .-iv re all} costly. Then again good things are very seldom found on a bargain counter. If so, they are soiled or damag d in some way, and b you figure it out, they really are not a bargain. - 'acrid Brands always carry a standard price. So be careful about the bargain, and above all, you can’t be too careful about the quick and sly salesman who offers you bargains and no cards or stamps. Buy only from the man who stands behind his goods and the law behind him. This young man saw his mistakes too late, but he asked me to try and save you before it is too late. I must say that some of you will take a chance regardless, but we ean say we warned you, and this writing will ap pear before your mind the minute the law puts ts hands on you. So take advice from a man who is paying the price of “Stolen Goods”. Remember friends, we are always anxious to do a friend or a poor beg gar a favor, but we must know be yond a doubt if we are safe in doing it. Now listen friends, don’t get be hind this last statement to pass up a poor beggar or a friend to save a dime or so. We all know right from wrong, a thief or a bum. So use your good judgment and be safe. It would surely be bad in the sight of God and yourself should you pass up some poor, hungry, cold beggar with such a small alibi. Play safe, and help them, and if there is any doubt in your mind about what he has to offer, let him keep his goods. By doing this you are helping him double by giving him a chance to sell to someone who is not so generous as you if his goods are OK, and protecting yourself if they are not. Take it from one who is paying the Price of “Stolen Goods* and Trade with the “trade mark”. Pay the “Merchant’s Price”, and you will find it cheaper than the prison Price. Clear Conscience is a good Price after all. ALONG THE WAY OF HEALTH Accordng to Mary Livingstone’s way of puttng it, “What difference does it make so long as you’re heal thy?” This may be just her “Line” but at that it’s a good one. Our blue skies or our g*ey ones de pend much upon our physical condi tion. Of course there are exceptions >ut for most of us good health and iappiness go hand in hand. A severe leadache, a bad cold make life look tntirely different to what it does vhen we’re “in the pink of condition.” Just to help you be happy by being lealthy we’re going to devote our en ure column to the simple, little things hat can and do insure health. We want you to regard us as the Chinese io their doctors, who are paid not for !" REVEALING' ■ ipun PAST, PRESENT ancl EUTPRE •• 0/ ABBE' WAILACE IfounqasJ- <ne/itdU»t on the Atterxcjn <Haqc - ..

Tha first thng we’re going to tell you about is the common cold, not what most of you know all about- it but there may be a few things you have overlooked or forgotten that will help. The most important of these is the necessity of proper ventilation. It rr^ay surprise you to know that the air in our public buildings as well as in many of our homes is as dry as that of the Sahara desert. We close our windows and practically nail up our doors in order that we may shut out the cold and keep in the warm air. The result is that the air becomes dead, lacking in all the elements that would promote health, frequently filled with virulent disease germs. The remedy—fresh air. At least once a day, if only for a few minutes the en tire house should be ventilated. Doors and windows should be opened to allow fresh air to circulate. Air conditioning in the home by means of mechanical apparatus is in its infancy and is beyond the reach of many of us but there is much we ean do to improve present conditions. One thing we mustn’t lose sight of is the fact that fresh air heats much more easily than dead air. Perhaps we can reduce the amout we spend for coal and balance our budget if we’ll invest in a little fresh air. It’s cheap—in fact it’s one of the good things in life that are free. Here’s a suggestion i would like to make. At night, just before retiring, •specially if we have tobacco smokers in the house (and who hasn’t?) we can open the doors and windows if only just for a few minutes. Of course the bedrooms should have fresh air both at night and in the day time. If there are members of the family- suffering from bronchitis <*■ croup their rooms should be venti-i lated. Here are a few hints that may help in the prevention of cold. Endeavor to prevent contact w-ith persons who have cold both at home and in public places. Remain away from movies particularly when there is an epidemic of colds. Do not become overheated or sit in a draft. Dress properly-—this | means, particularly for women and children that if they wear light cloth ing in the house.they- must of neces sity wear heavier garments when they ire exposed to the cold. Over fatigue and improper diet are sontributing causes to the common sold. Sudden changes of weather are to be reckoned with but a* these are i beyond our control we must endeavor I to the best of our ability to adapt | ourselves to them. Perhaps one of the oldest as well as the surest ways to premote health and lessen the possibility of taking cold is to drink water. Now tha: we are no longer prohibited anything in thte matter of drink we shouldn’t be partial- Old Mother Nature insists that we drink deeply of her own par ticular brand, assuring us of far more beneficial results than that obtained from the concoctions of those with whom mixing drinks has become a fine art. Accordng to Pitkin, who seems to hav« become an authority on a good many subjects every ctizen of the United States loses on an average of two and a half days a year because of colds. This would mean a loss in wages to our people of $450,000,000 a year. The ideal diet for one subject to colds is composed largely of fruits and vegetables, meat, milk and eggs. We hope these few hints may be of value to our readers. In our next is sue we’ll tell you how to treat a cold if you happen to be se unlucky as to have one. BROTHERS BENEATH THE SKIN By R. A.
