Benevolent Industrial association un-

a splendid record in its fight for bet

though certain advantages ought to

could or would unite their strength
and forces with this organization for
the good of themselves and all other
railroad men of the Race. Mr.. Mays
international president, says that 1t
Is entirely practicable for his organ
ization to represent the Pullman
porters If enough Of them join.
Since the decisio. Of the labor
board granting conductors increased
pay along with certain other new
working conditions 1t would seem i'm
portant that the case Of the porters
should be presented by some strong
organization. They need and deserve
an increase In pay as much If not
more than the conductors, who do
less work and have less responsible
ity. One dollar and sixty-fve cents
will give any interested porter mem
bership in this organization, accord
ing to a statement just issued by the
president, and officers of the Pullman
craft will be selected by the porters

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Philadelphia, Pa--At q special
meeting last Tuesday Of the Pennsyl-
vania State Athletic Commission, 1t
was decided to rescind the recently
widely heralded ban on so-called
mixed bouts between colored and
white boxers, In Pennsylvania. The
change in front came after a vigorous
protest made by Charles Fred White,
the colored member of the commits
sion, in which he charged that the
ruling had been made by Chairman
Recap without consulting the other
members Of the board and that such
a plan was Illegal. In order that the
chairman might retire his position
without too much embarrassment, ii
was decided at the meeting Tuesday
to telegraph the Attorney General
Woodruff for an opinion as to the
legality Of Mr.. Rocap's ruling. The
attorney general phoned the commits
sion while the meeting was in session
with the result that the body issued
the following statement:
"At the request Of the Attorney
General Woodruff the commission de-
cided to suspend its ruling temporari-
iy regarding mixed bouts until the
Department Of Justice shall discuss
the ruhng in all its phases. Attor-
ney General Woodruff will meet the
members Of the commission, within
the next ten days, when all the legal
angles OF the controversy win be
thoroughly discussed and clarified.

Philadelphian, Lincolnite. There
were not enough policemen nor a suf-

figures, thousands Of people got in

tickets were crushed through the

the huge crowd was actually puzzled

Fine Social Events.
The numerous social events prior
to and following the game rang true
to the traditions Of social culture in

house parties, private dances and

Causes.
1.-TWO main causes brought about
the decline in lynching In 1923," said
Mr.. Johnson. First was the agita-
ton on the floor Of Congress and
throughout the country for a federal
anti-lynching bill. the measure intro
duced by Mr.. Dyer passing the last
house Of representatives by a vote of
$50 to 119. The second main cause
was the northward migration OF Ne
groes by the hundreds of thousands.
This has impressed the South that
lynching will have to be stopped II
the best labor the South can get for
its plantations and industries Is to be
retained. Prospects for the enact
ment Of the Dyer Anticipating bill
in the present Congress are excellent,
in the light of President Coolidge's
anti-iynching pronouncement in his
message to Congress. It is to be
hoped that In q very few years the
crime of lynching will have been COM
pletely wiped out in America"
