NEGRO FIREMEN
WIN CONTEST
Arbitration Board Gives Them
Same Wages as Whites.
One Member DISSEATS

The Award Provides That There Shal!
Be No Discrimination on the Georgia
Railroad Between Whites and
Blacks - Dissenting Opinion Says
Award Is a Menace to Travellers.
Atlanta, Ga, June 28.-The Georgia
railroad strike arbitration board de
cided against the seniority Of white
firemen over cOlOred men. The arbi-
traitors, however. placed a premium on
intelligence among firemen which, it
is believed, will ultimately result in
the gradual elimination of all except
the most expert cOlOred men.
The arbitration board was composed
of Hilary Herbert, Of Montgomery,
representing the Georgia railroad;
Congressman Thomas HardWick. Of
Georgia. representing the firemen, and
Chancellor David c. BurrOw, of the
Georgia university, as umpire.
Their decision was worded guard
edly and did not in any case deal di-
rectly with the race problem. Their
! most direct reference in the seniority
problem was in the words: I'VE find
against proposition c." This PROPOSE
tion read: "All fremen when hired
shall be placed in freight yards OF
hosting service, and senior white fire
men shall have preference of engine:
and runs"
The award makes the pay of cOlOreC
fremen equal to that of whites. Th'
colored men have been receiving
about 20 to so cents per day less thai
whites.
Mr., Hardwick in a dissenting opi1
ion from the proposition fixing colore
mems wages the same as those O
whites, said: "In so far as the abov
finding permits the continued employ
ment of colored firemen, l dissent, bt
cause believe from the evidence tina
! such employment is a menace to tn
safety of the travelling public"
