To his surprise, he was dis charged on the demand of the two men who had abused him. But this did not end the story. For some time Negroes in this line of work in New York and else where have been quietly organiz ing into an effective trade union. The Union carried Ransaw’s case to the higest officials of the Rail road but without satisfaction. The case was taken by the union be_ fore the Railroad Labor Adjust ment Board which has been creat ed for the Railroad industry. As soon as this was done, the Railway management sought from the un ion another hearing on the matter The management wanted to rein state Ransaw in his job and thus settle the affair- But the union demanded reinstatement with full seniority rights, removal of any blot on Ransaw’s record as an em ployee and full back pay for the time since the discharge and the unemployment compensation wdiich he had drawn irieanwhile. On this basis with full reinstate ment on his job and with all of his rights, the case was settled. SHREVEPORT REALTORS OBJECT TO LOW COST HOUSING FOR NEGROES Shreveport, La. Dec. IS (ANP) After a bitter fight put up by the real estate dealers of the city, the city council voted to ask for a mil lion dollar loan from the federal authority for constructing a low cost housing unit for clearing a slum district in the colored section of the town. While the realtors debated the matter before the city council and brought anin vestment company official from Oklahoma City to speak in their behalf, they were finally overridden and an emerg ency ordinance was passed author iznig that an immediate applicat ion for the loan he made to the USHA. The Saddo Taxpayers associat ion and Shreveport Real Estate board published and distributed a booklet in which they gave reas ons why a low cost unit should not be built, saying that Negroes of the city would not be able to live in one of the houses because the rent would be prohibitive. The booklet went further on to say that the hiuses which now rent for $5 a month ‘ are as good as they need.” 't was the professional opinion of J. Wilson Swann of Oklahoma C cy, that the living conditions a niong Negroes in the town were as good as they needed to be. K« ecntinuously referred to the Col umbus, O' Negro project, saying that “the houses that were tom town to build this project were nice 2_story frame houses, about 40 years old, once occupied by whites. From four to six famil ies Mved in them paying $7 or $8 each per month, and they were as good as they ought to have.” MRS. PARKER RE-ELECTED BY NEGRO ORPHAN HOME New York (C)—For the 27th time, Mrs. Williard Parker was e lected President of the Colored Orphaned Asylum and Association for the Benefit of Colored Child ren at the Institution, 104th an nual meeting. She has been a trustee for 46 years. Describing homeless Negro children as “American refugees’’, Mrs. Parker said there were “50 colored youngsters in temporary shelters with no families to care for them and no place to go. They have been referred to us at the Colored Orphan Ajsylum, but we already are using more than a dollar a week a child, more than our income( for everyone of the 650 children now under our care."
