100 NEGROES AMONG THE
500 DALLAS RAILROAD
STRIKERS.

More than 500 Dallasites are among
the striking railway workers. Among
these are 100 Negro Carmen and
women who have resisted the threat
ened wage cut and walked out.
Among them is Mr.. Ollie William
son, member of the B. r. c. of A.,
who when seen few days ago made
the following statement:
I'VE are anxious for the Negro
citizens of Dallas to know that there
are Negroes among the striking rail-
way men and enlist their sympathy.
OF course many of our people read OF
the strike in the daily papers but 1t
Is probably true that all of them do
not know the real reason for 1t. AS
railr oad workers, Negroes have worked
as IA part of the union just as. have
white workers. The union has bound
us up together. A raise for them has
meant raise for us and a cut for
them has meant cut for us.
We are not asking for higher wages.
Even though the cost of living has
remained the same in some instances
but in most has gone higher we only
ask that our wage scale remain the
same.
In short, we have struck for three
reasons: first, to maintain the present
scale of wages and not accept the
proposed wage cut; second, to demand
time and half for work on Sundays
and holidays; third. to remain at work
on the eight hour system.
There will be no violence among us
We only take this means of publicly
explaining to our people the reasons
for the strike as 1t affects u.s.
