UNFAIR TO RACE.

The evidence shows, according TO
Wharton, that the carrier has arbitra
,rily disregarded the rights of these EN-
ployes and reclassified their titles
without changing their duties; that 1t
has reduced their rates of pay and es-
tablished less favorable working condl
tions because they are colored men and
for no other reason. 1t has sought to
establish a separate and distinct class
based solely on the fact that they are
of the Negro race instead OF the white
race"
The case involves 145 passenger
brakemen whom the board describes
as follows: The employees involved in
this dispute are colored men and on
February 1, 1921, the effective date Of
the wage reduction complained Of they
were unorganized. Up to the time OF
the hearing of this case they were still
unorganized and their complaint is
submitted by 100 (or more) unorganiz
ed employees in accordance with pro
vision of the transportation act"

BARRED FROM UNION.

On account of their color these en-
ployes are ineligible to membership
in the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. Prior to the war the carrier took
advantage of this fact to classify hem
as train porters altho they were re-
quired to perform the duties Of passeng
er brakemen. In this way the manage
ment was able to evade the agreement
with the trainmen and to pay these col
ored employees lower wage.

HONORS HARRY.

CROWDS HONOR NOTED
SINGER IN SPECIAL MASS
COMPOSER and Choir Leader Called to
Pulpit, Then His Hymns
Are Sung.

NEW YORK, April S.-Hundreds Of
persons vainly stOrmed the entrances
to st. Georges Episcopal Church on
10th East Sixteenth Street and RUIZ
erfurd Place Sunday trying to gam
admission to the special vesper serve
es in recognition of Harry T. Burieigh's
thirtieth anniversary as a barltone
soloist in the choir. Mr.. Burleign is q
Negro singer and composer. SO dense
were the throngs outside that police
were called to keep the streets open for
traffic. The church was filled and the.
docrs were ordered closed half an IouE
before the services opened.
The program was devoted chiefly TO
singing by the choir, but the Rev. Dr.
Karl Reiland the rector made short
address in which he referred to Nj.
Burleigh as the leading singer Of the
church and to his long and notable
service there. Dvorak, DR.. Reiland
said, composed his New World Sym
phony in the neighborhood OF ST.
Georges Church and received much OF
his inspiration from his association
with Mr.. Burleigh.
Just before he concluded speaking
DR.. Reiland called Mr.. Bureligh to the
pulpit. There was no applause, OF
course but an audible murmur swept
through the crowded auditorium as the
whitehaired Negro, Sarbed in snowy
vestments, stood beside the rector ana
bowed several times. AS he descended
from the pulpit the choir began the
singing of one of his best known com
positions:
An couldn't hear. nobody pray;
An I couldn't hear nobody pray;
o way down yonder by myself,
An I couldn't hear nobody pray;
o Lord, I couldn't hear nobody pray.
Then the melody changed abruptly
reverberating against the high arched
ceiling and yelling back over the
crowded aisles to the farthest end OF
the auditorium:

 If The government in London should do anything involving a breach Of the treaty the British ae- ton could hs brought before the league. but the paper admits that such a contingency IS improbable,
 'sThe last thing that Great Britain world desire" 1t adds, would be that Ireland should bring it before the League Of Nations,
 on The ground of an alleged breach Of the treaty. since any such international suit would demonstrate to the world that the British empire had no collective or cohesive eN- istenee, but consisted of a number Of separate states having equality of rights against each other, Accord inEly Great Britain would leave nothing undone 10 reassure Ireland, rather than be confronted with the situation of Ireland seeking redress against her at Geneva or at inc Hague"

 Several weeks will be required for the orderly retirement of the Frencn economic organization, including the railway meployes and a variety or civilian workers.
