Natives Use Stones, Brick Bats
To Repel Police Attacks
South Nigel, S. Africa.—(CNA)
—A large squad of police and de
tectives, attempting to carry out
one of their habitual raids on the
mine compound, or work-yard,
were met with a fusillade of stone
by 300 Native miners at the^
South Nigol gold mine here. The
police had to rush back to their
cars and wrere chased with brick
bats by the infuriated miners for
a long distance.
Several were badly injured.
Later 100 additional policemen
returned armed. They were able
to force an entrance into he com
pound, but not until they had
been subjected to another shower
of bricks in the course of w'hich
the head constable was injured.
Twenty-five of the miners w-ho
escaped the police cordon and
walked 40 miles to Johannesburg
to lay their grievances before the
Chief Inspector of Native Labor
were immediately arrested. No
' attention will be paid to their
grievances. They will probably re
ceive heavy sentences for daring
to resist police interfemee and
brutality. ,
DOINGS AMONG THE DINING
CAR AND HOTEL WAITERS
By Hopie
Well, Well! Our fr.emis always
show up with teardrops and flowers
at a time when we can’t thank them.
I soir,e times wonder if we are able
to look back, or be at the gathering
when all the crying and shouting is
going on? K so, wouldn’t we be sur
prised to know we had so many
ir ends cr would we find even at this
sad momentt some of them still wear
ing two faces. I wonder. I heard one
of our pastors say a week or so ago.
that we travel daily down the path of
life and at the end of the path waits
our casket. That, I really believe, and
we know that this debt we all must
pay, and yet it seems to be something
that our friends and closer ones can’t
get used to. We are always glad to
make the last payment on anything
and get a great kick out of seeing it
marked or stamped, “Paid in Full”.
Yet this debt, when paid, always
brings tears to our many friends. • I
wonder if we, over yonder, are rejoic
ing. If there is a hereafter, and when
we meet over there, and if it is true
that we can look back into life through
the spirit. How would those pretend
ed friends that did so much cryng
would feel when you tell them, or
would we be so busy meeting other
friends that had gone before us, that
we would forget all out of the past.
I wonder. But don’t you think it
would be bettter if we would show
more friendship here on earth, stop
lying, fighting and killing each other
so each of us would really know in
stead of wondering? I think so, and
then when we paly our debt, we could
save many tears and hope to meet
them later. You don’t have to see it
the way I do, but I hope so.
Before I go into our little chat. I
would like to say that th.s column is
not a Paxton column, as I have heard,
but it is yours, and I invite any thing
in the way of doings of the waiters.
And remember this is not a scandal
column I am always glad to write up
on your parties, club functions or any
thing you like as long as it is respect
ful. As I said time and aga n, I will
not write the dark side or the night
liie of the waiters. If so, we would
be far more popular than the Voice
or any of the papers that carry that
kind of news, while I lasted. So if
you wish to submit some news, I will
gladly put yours in with a smile.
Say, don’t you know that a man
sometimes gets rich over the simplest
little things? Who would have
thought that the man that put some
hot chocolate on a piece of ice cream
would make a million, Huh? Well,
last week Mr. Harris, who has made
a name for himself, was asked to
properly serve a baked potato that J.
Fisher had served a guest. And did
he serve it? I’ll say he did, and in
a very sedate way, and then told the
waiter so he wouldn’t make the same
mistake again. Stay awake, Harris,
and someday you may be buttering
that ’tato in a blue uniform. And
who knows that someday we will be
leading, “Harris, the Tato King, has
made a million buttering ’tatoes.”
I am not expressing our deep sor
rowing feelings for the long extended
sickness of our dear friends, Mr. Wm.
Ousley and Mr. Leroy Porter. WTe did
not expect this when Mr. Sickness
called upon them. And we should all
pray to the great Almighty to call
Mr. Sickness from the bedside of these
men. Yet, God knows best. Wre can
at least, ask him. “Oh, God, have
mercy on their souls”.
I would like to say just here, and
I truly hope that not one of you v/.ll
get offended. Don’t you think that it
is a wise thing to do to put 25c or 35c
per week into some good sick policy?
You would feel much better and you
could bear the pains easier, and call
the doctor with less fear, and feel bet
ter toward the ones who may be bear- j
LIlh your troubles and waiting* upon
you. There is so much more to be
done when you lay flat upon your back
than there is when you are able to
get up, and get out. And the best
friends you got will begin to wear out,
especially when there is nothing to
pa/ the doctor or the drug store, or
when the landlord begins to show cold
feelings. And sometimes and in som<e
cases you can not blame the people.
Remember, should the farmer wait
until he found out w hat kind of season
it would be, to plant, he would never
have a crop. So it is in this case. If
you wait until you get sick to get in
surance, you will never have any.
Each day we gamble with life in some
way or other. So why not make or
try to make it a safe gamble by put
ting a sick protection on ourself?
I m not asking you to do this because
I am getting something out of it, but
w-e have two good iqen in this busi
ness, and will treat you right, I am
sure. I am speaking of Mr. Hicks
and Mr. McGow'an. Call them today,
and fe&l safe tomorrow. It is all a
gamble. Remember there are lots of
other companies if you don’t like
these men. But for God’s sake, don’t
gamble your life on public sympatthy,
please.
Speaking of gambling! Listen to
this. ‘"Won $20,000 by lunatic’s ad
vice, Lost it without any help”. This
appeared in the World-Herald two
weeks ago, and as space will not per
mit me to write the story, I will sim
ply sketch it over to you. A doctor
in London was taking a walk; so he
dropped into a farm house where he
had a patient. The patient introduced

Governor of Nebr., Buys First Flower Show Ticket!
Governor Cochran who, with Mrs.
Cochran, will be the chief guests of
honor at the opening of the million
d'Ollar National Flower and Garden
Show to be held in Omaha, March 30
to April 7, is shown buying the first
ticket when they were placed on ad
vance sale last Friday. Governor
Cochran bought ticket No. 1 from
Ford Hovey, chairman of the advance
sales committee.
Governor Cochran was high in his
praise of the million dollar flower
and garden show. “I regard this as
one of the most important events
held in many years in Nebraska”, he
sad. “It is a non-profit undertaking
which deserves and will receive the
'enthusiastic support of the people of
our state.'
“Such a world famous show means
much to the civic and cultural life of
our state. It is one of those things
which happens on?y one© in a life
time.”
The advance sale, limited bv the
National Flower Show committee to
only 50.000 tickets, is now being car
ried on in towns and cities throughout
the Missouri Valley. The advance
tickets sell for 40 cents as against the
regular admission price of 65 cents.
Governor and Mrs. Cochran will at
tend the opening performance of the
show.

Sixteen thousand households of
over race horses, and he told him of a
horse to bet on the next day. Yet he
| knew the man was just out of the
bug house, still he did as he was told
and won $20,000. So you see it doesn’t
ever pay to turn a fool down. But he
broke himself playing his own game.
So you see, my friend, I may be telling
you something when I tell or give you
a friendly bft of advice. Wait Now!!
I am not crazy yet, but I may be
someday, if I keep trying to tell you
something.
Speaking of race horses, we have
quite a few of those “pick ’em” boys
among the waiters, and sometmes
they are picking them all through the
meal, and, Boy, when the meal is over,
they can hardly wait to get to the
racing table to pick “Runfast”, “Step
Along”, “Push ’em Up” or “Head On”
to win. We may someday meet one
of them and they may tell us to put!
$5.00 on “Sachel Back”, and we will j
do it and win $20,000. You can never
tell when one of them iqay go crazy.
Pla;l safe, and play what they tell
you, even though you don’t believe in
race horses. You can never tell.
May I say here to any wrniter tak
ing a guests’ order, “Try to take it
so as to be able to remember who
gets the pork steak or roast beef. Last
week a very embarrassing thing oc
curred down the way. A waiter had
three tables of twos, and he had a
plate of roast beef. He was running
up to each guest asking them out
loud, “Who got roast beef?” Oh, me!
Say, Please tell me the price of dry
lemons and also the price of juicy
ones. A buss boy was sent to get five
dozen lemons. So the cook asked him
if he wanted dry or juicy ones. He
said. “Wait and I will find out”. He
did. Thank Goodness, they only car
ry juicy ones.
Say, did you know that Lomax’s J
tw.n brother is in town? He really
is, and what makes it so tough on us,:
they have the same name. Last week j
the Herald carried a write-up like I
this. “Street Car Ride Ends in
South Omaha Jail”. Gosh, and he al
so Lves up on 28th, too. Boys, this
is really hard. Yet we must believe
a man when he tells us he hasn’t even
been in either place. Oh, well! ' God
made twins, and only man makes
jails. Forget it.
Do you remember when we would
say while we were railroading, “Work
ing by the trip”, or we may not make
the round trip? Huh? Well, John
son didn’t even last to see the open
ing or hear the new band. And still
he says he is from the East. Fast
work, K?d, but the boys had you
timed anyway. The only thing, some
times the alarm will go off earKer
than you set it for, especially self
winders. Sorry, Kid.
Let’s help the young boys in the
waiters’ class by going ont and giving
them our ideas of waiting table. It
will help them, I am sure.
Oh, sa)y, If we ever get together, I
do hope we will remember Mr. Roose
velt. He is really the greatest man
we ever knew. In fact, he is a God
sent man, a walking Moses to some of
our waiters, and we should always
hold him next to our hearts. He
brought to us the “New Deal”. By
doing so he gave us real drinks
Branded, “Aged in the Wood”. And
he gave to the dining room waiters,
“Aged in the Bones”. Both are do
ing fine under the New Deal. Thanks,
Mr. President.

INVESTIGATION OF PULL
MAN PORTERS’ CASE
Chicago, Illinois.—According to A.
Philip Randolph, National President
of the Brother hood of Sleeping Car
Porters, who just returned to Chicago
from the Third National Convention
of the Brotherhood which was held in
Kansas City, Missouri, January 28th
to 30th, the Med a tors of the National
Mediation Board, are now in the Na
tional Headquarters of the Union, in
New York at 105 West 136th Street,
and are in the process of investigating
the claims and evidence of the Broth
erhood to the right to represent the
Sleeping Car Porters in the negotia
tion of agreements concerning rate*
of pay and rules governing working
conditions.
Mr. Randolph contends that the
Pullman porters have authorized the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters
by a large and telling majority to deal
with the Pullman management.
Following the determination by the
National Mediation Board, front its
investigation of the Brotherhood anti
the claims of all other Organizations,
whatever they may bo, to represent
the porters, the Board, if satisfied
that the evidence submitted is con
clusive, will order The Ihillman Com
pany to meet \vith the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters to make and
maintain agreements and for the set
tlement of grievances, observed Ran
dolph. He continued—that the results
of this investigation will be the most
significant and far reaching to Negro
workers in particular and the Ameri
can labor movement in general, be
cause of the Pullman porters’ strate
gic and key position, in American in
dustry and the trade union moveyrent.
The fight, for recognition—observed
the porters’ leader, Mr. Randolph, by
the Brotherhood from The Pullman
Company has been going on for al

inusually favorable.
