Consolidation seems to occupy
the footlights in the centre of the
stage of Oakland activities at the
present time. To look at it from
a distance, it seems unwise to
turn over the appointment of all
officers to one man. Those in
favor of it claim that a reduction
of office-holders will mean lower
tax rate. 1t may be so. But we
have been hearing about this
lower tax rate for ten years, and
the tax rate keeps on increasing.
We taxpayers have been fooled
long enough, and the only way to
have us believe it is to REDUCE
THE RATE and stop talking about
it. We expect to have more to
say on this consolidation question
before election.

To the fellow in the distance, it
would seem poor policy to strike
when so many are unemployed
and winter is coming on, and the
government is more determined
than ever to assist the un-
employed, keep the crops moving
and assist railroads financially.
Of course, the strike is bound to
affect us as a race, and more SO
since porters, car-cleaners, and
walters have become affiliated
with unions. There is to be one
big final meeting of the unions in
Chicago the latter part of this
month and it is to the interest OF
every branch to be represented
We wonder if branches to which
members of our race belong vii
be represented by some white
man or some colored man wht
does not know the needs of thi'
division. Why not send Mr.
Irvine, who is employed at thu
Santa Fe, to represent the car
cleaners union? He seems to b
a level-headed, sensible man. D
course, there will be a little ex
pense attached to it, but in tn
end it will be more satlsfactor.
