RAILWAY PROBLEM

OPTIMISTIC FOLLOWING CON.
FERENCE WITH GLASS,
Issue Of Warrants Suggested to Raise
Funds Needed as Result Of the
Failure Of Congress to Pass Bill
Appropriating $3.50, 900 900.

Observation-Disclosures a confer
ence on March II, with Secretary of
Treasury Glass and officials of the
war finance corporation, Director Cen
eral OF Railroads Hines expressed con-
fldence that the situation confronting
the railroad. administration through
the failure of congress to pass the
S750,O0OO00 appropriation bill will be
satisfactorily adjusted
The director general was optimistic.
He said he would have definite plan
to propose to the railroad executives
within week or ten days. The spirit
OF cooperation shown by the railroad
men in the conference of the previous
day leads him to believe they will enter
into the plan whole-heartedly and the
administrations financial difficulties
will be solved.
The chief subject of discussion at
Wednesdays conference Of the direc-
tor general, the secretary of the treas
ury and the war finance corporation
directors was the issue of warrants
that Mr.. Hines tentatively suggested as
one method Of solving the problem. It
is understood thai the discussion de-
veloped no legal objections to the pro-
posed warrants and that this plan will
be carried through.
Mr. Hines made it clear that II was
not intended that the warrants should
be negotiable. The understanding is
that they will amount to little more
than acknowledgements Of the govern
ment's Indebtedness to the railroads.
Such documents in the hands of the
railroads. however, will strengthen
their credit, it is believed, to the ex-
tent that most of them will be able to
obtain private loans sufficient to tide
the over the present difficulty.

Black Man POIIed
Large Number Of Votes As
Candidate for Commissioner
(By Associated Negro Press)

(By Associated Negro Press)
WASHINGTON D. c., Sept. ga
Colored man in the primaries in Prince
Georges county, Nd, polled surpris-
ingly large vote as Republican can
date for county commissioner, but
was defeated ty small plurality by
two white candidates.
This would ordinarily be of no in
terest, but is now claimed to be sig
nificant as regarding the purpose Of
the Colored voters in that county and
in other southern Maryland counties,
where the Negro vote controls things
for the Republican party, to obtain
hereafter recognition from the white
Republicans, who hold all the offices
t. be had, and have never divided with
the Colored voter who furnished the
largest part of the party strength in
all these counties.
This ambitious Colored candidate
was John D. Brodus. He made
sharp campaign for the nomination as
county commissioner, getting out an
imitation of primary ballot on which
was printed his name and that of four
other Colored candidates as delegates
to the Republican state convention.
Their convention delegates were NOM
iiated without objection.
Here was one of the appeals Of
Rrodus "Our votes control the Re-
publican party. Without us, they are
lost. See if our white friends we
fought alongside of will help our tick
ct. Next time we will have more pull
with our congressman"
Brodus told the Colored voters ev-
erywhere that the Negro soldiers had
! fought for the country; that for years
Colored men have consistently voted
the Republican tickets in all the coun-
ties of the Fifth Maryland congress
sional district without scratching, and
that they have never gotten anything
for their loyalty.
The Republicans were embarrassed
by Brodus' candidacy, and charged
that he was influenced to enter the
race and make the campaign by Dem.
ocrats of Prince Georges, who be-
lieved that it would make trouble for
the Republicans. Brodus denied this.
He declares he made his fight on prin-
cjples, and will continue to preach the
doctrine, in that county and elsewhere
in the Fifth district, that the Negro
voter must have recognition within
his party, or will demand an account.
J ing as to why he is expected to fur.
nish the votes and get nothing for his
fidelity and loyalty.
