Exclusion of All CoIored Railroad
Employees.
Because Of the limitations placed
upon employees represented by the Ma
tional Conference Committee Of the
Railways it is understood that in their
proposed arbitration no colored rail-
road employees are to participate there
in. For instance. should the railroad
employees agree to arbitration in ac-
cordance with the proposal of the Ma
tiOnal Conference Commission of the
Railways. and through such arbitra-
tiOn the eight-hour day with present
rate of pay be granted, the thousands
OF negro firemen. hostlers, brakemen
and yardmen now employed on the
southern railroads, would be excluded
from the arbitration award. This
would result in the white fremen,
hostlers. brakemen and yardmen work
ing eight hours a day, while the COL
ored firemen, hostlers, brakemen and
yardmen would work ten hours day
on the same RAILROADS II Is Delleyed
that with this difference in the work
ing conditions and rates of wages the
uouthern railroads would soon elimi-
nate all white firemen, hostlers. brake
men and yardmen for purely economic
reasons.
