Railroad Men Organize.

In keeping step with pro-
gress of all large commercial
organizations, the Pullman
Co., has organized the porters
in its employ into benevolent
associations throughout the
entire United States, for mu-

sociation of approximately :
thousand men to an associa-
tion. The company emaloxs
seven thousand porters as the
minimum and ten thousand as
the maximum, being the larg
est employer of colored labor
in the United States. The
company appreciates the eff
forts of the men in the various
districts to aid themselves by
forming societies and aid as
sociations among themselves,
but for lack of financial sup
port and other obstacles too
great for them to surmount,
have decided to assist the
men by its stamp of approval
and financial aid. In keeping
with that purpose, there was
called a conference in New
York at the Office of Division
Supt. A. ]. Grant, a number
of District Superintendents of
the company and a porter to
represent each district, at
which time an association was
formed. known as the Pullman
Porters' Benevolent .Associa-
of the North East. which COM
prises the following districts:
New York (except Pennsyl-
vania TerminaD, Montreal,
Boston North and South),
Toronto. Albany. Jersey City
(North), Weehawken and Ho.
boken.
The organization will be
controlled by porters. There Is
a general com mittee of seven
who have jurisdiction over all
matters pertaining to the or
ganization of the North Eas,
Association. also agents whose
duties are to assist the local
committeeman and to enroll
members.
