Chicago, dan.—All last week
Dave's Dale was up in the air
over the removal from the floor
show by Child Labor Law of
ficals of Kenneth anl Leroy,
the two kid dancers. This duo,
both under 12, had been danc
ing for a year, apparently meet
ing full requirements of this
statute. Belief was expressed
that rival spots wanted to get
his attraction out of circulation.
Chorus gals at one of the bet
ter known clubs were told by
the producer to cut down on
roofers as cops who cut their
way through the heavy smoke
to the niuggle users might
sprinkle a few $200 fines
around. But instead of taking
this as useful information for
their own good, the chorines
get angry with the impressario.
Marguerite Wilkins, who will
wed Jimmy White on her birth
day, Feb. 24, won’t quit show
business until next August. She
and Jimmy are to dance in At
lantic (Xty th's summer. It took
only a few glances from Mar
guerite's big brown eyes to
make Jimmy ditch Nadine
Douglas, his dancing partner
and whom he told this colmun
last fall he would marry after
New Year's.
.Timmv explains the switch by
sarin g “Nadine and T couldn’t
agree on some things.” Mar
guerite will quit the theatrical
profesh to manage an undertak
ing parlor in Pennsylvania—
not. because she dislikes show
business but because there’s not
enough money in the game.
Doc Huggins, The Distinguished
If there is ever a selection
made of distinguished appear
ing men of Aframerica, Doc
ITuggins, owner of the Cafe De
Paris and one of the mighty
few sepia night club proprietors
in Chicago's Congo, will be well
np in the running. Doe's place
is, incidentally, the home of the
Monkey Club ,latest Southside
organization that, is making a
bid for Sunday night popular
ity. Among stars who have ap
peared on the Monkey Club
program are Chilton and Thom

son—with more coming up.

.Lemus Concedes
Fight To Railway
Company Union
New York, Jan. 25—(ANP)
“Look like the Railway Com
pany,” said Ricnzi B. Lemus,
grand president of the Brother
hood of Dining Car Employees,
when asked here last week by
the Associated Negro Press
who would be winner of the sec
ret-ballot election now being
conducted by the National Med
tiation Board among dining car
cooks and waiters on the Penn
sylvania Railroad. The brother
hood holds the contract, and has
been challenged by Local No.
370 of the AF of L. The AF of
L formally called on the Medi
tation Board to take jurisdic
tion, as provided in the Rail
way Labor Act amended, last
July, and the secret-ballot is
the result.
The Pennsylvania has never
conceded the duty of Congress
to enact a railroad labor law in
virtue of which the employe's
representatives could be abso
lutely free of managerial influ
ence, according to Mr. Lemus,
and whenever it does the rail
way company always seeks to
impose some plan whereby its
preference can prevail, he sa'id.
The contract now covering
the PRR cooks and waiters was
negotiated by Mr. Lomus in
1921, provides the highest cooks
wages of the entire dining car
industry, rules that left little
to be desired but never could be
enforced “because the manage
ment insisted on its company
union plan predominating and
was abetted by the local repre
sentatives working in service
who resented taking appeals to
the higher officials on which
occasions they could not be con
spicuous,” Mr. Lemis said.
“I recently secured com
pliance with all terras of our
contract with the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, after drag
ging it through the National
Meditation Board and the Na
tional Adjustment Board for a
year,’’ Mr. Lemis continued;
“but T won it—even made them
pay a crew for getting up twice
at 2 AM to feed Duke Elling
ton’s band after payment had
been denied the crew on de
mand. That couldn’t be done
on the Pennsylvania because
last June we went in for what
the management always de
mands, a system board of ad
justment made up of three of
ficers of the company and three
cooks, wai ters, and the very
chef-cook I put on that board

i demanded an employee for gen
eral chairman instead of Lem
us.”
According to Mr. Lemus the
chief representatives under the
system plan is the general
chairman, appointed by the
president of the brotherhood
local, who makes all appeals in
bi-monthly meetings w<th the
General Superintendent of Din
ing Car Service. Mr. Lemus held
the position for one meeting,
on last July 2nd. At that time
he secured return of the 240
hour month for certain em
ployes who had been systemat
ically deprived of it, got a rule
providing a minimum of 4-hours
pay for any employee held
away from home station a cal
endar day and forced restoring
of a normal kitchen crew com
plement on a crack train, in
spite of bitter opposition by the
superintendent. Nevertheless,
he was forced to resign as gen
eral chairman for lack of due
moral support and from last
August up to now his successor
a composite pantryman-3rd
cook, has not made the first ad
justment.
As Mr. Lemus sees it the men
would lose should the brother
hood win the election for the
excellent reason that the group
now in control on the Pennsyl
vania, is as always, the "com
pany union crowd’’ who will
see to it that one is elected pres
ident who would always name
an employee, general chairman,
and it is axiomatic of labor
unions that a representative
cannot also be an employee and
a successful representative.
That is why members pay dues
and assessments in unions—to
have competent representatives
absolutely free of employer
connections.
On the contrary, Mr. Lemus
notes; "the record of the Penn
sylvania in bitterly and success
fully opposing AF of L unions
is an open book, and in the
event of lx»cal 370’s success it
is wholly 1 kely that they’ll
windup in the graveyard of no
contract disputes—the Medita
tion Board, like Mr. A. Phillip
Randolph’s Pullman Porter’s
union, which also won a secret
ballot election but can’t budge
'in doing the main thing, getting
a contract for porters and
maids from Pullman; for the
Meditation Board can determine
disputes on representation but
cannot make two persons or two
groups enter into contract, and
1370 has no contract for dining
car men, on the Pennsylvania.’’
Now the railroad company is
tossing the coin, and for the
oooks and waiters it is "heads
we win, tails you lose,’’ the din
ing car union chieftain conculd
ed.
A. P. Of L. Is Asked To Support
Constitutional Amendemnt
Dealing Human Rights
New York, Jan. 25—Tn a tele
gram to William Green, presi
dent of the American Federa
tion of Labor, meeting in Miami,
Fla., the AF of L was asked to
day to support a constitutional
amendment providing for the
safeguard of human rights and
liberties. The telegram was
sent by the National Associa
tion for tho Advancement of
Colored People.
The association’s telegram
staited that it had seen in the
press that the executive council
of the Ameriean Federation of
Labor had decided to ask an
amendment to the federal con
stitution giving congress the
power to enact legislation es
tablishing minimum wages and
maximum hours of work.
The association's telegram
stated that the lynching of
Joseph Shoemaker, a white lab
or organizer, in Tampa last
month, proved that wages and
hours of labor mean little or
nothing unless fundamental hu
man liberties and the Fght to
together with other sam
ples of famed Golden
Brown Cosmefics. Just
tend 10c to cover ship

creases the appetite and improves
digestion, Cardul helps weak

agreeable, bad feelings go away.
As long as menstruation lasts,
Cardul helps to relieve nervous
ness due to poor nourishment.

YOU, consult a physician)
Cardul is purely vegetable and
has been recommended by women
