Pullman Porters Must
Organize in Secrecy
(FrOm Worker correspondsnt.)

(From Worker correspondent.)
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 13.-Com-
plete secrecy surrounds the Pullman
Porters' Union being organized in this
city, as result of alleged attempts
of the Pullman company to prod into
the affairs of the men and the union.
This was revealed this morning by A.
Philip Randolph, organizer Of the
union. The executive committee is
taking the necessary precautions to
prevent spies of the company from
getting any information about the ac-
tivities of the members.
The presence in this city Of Presi-
dent f. F. Carey of the Pullman
company, is said to have forced the
union leaders to adopt this method
of approaching organization Of the
Negro porters.
More than half the district in New
York is enrolled. and Randolf is
spreading his activities to Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago and other cit
les where the need of organizing the
exploited Negro is needed most.
In the past two weeks it is reported
that about 1000 have joined the new
union.

Miners Demand Convention

ing the company's demand for remOv-
al from the Office of the officials of
Local 992.
On August 10, the men refused to
work because of their complete dis
satisfaction with the decision. On
August II, special meeting of Local
992 was ordered by subdistrict Presi-
dent Lon Fox. Several car loads of
khan followers drove to West Frank
fort and returned with Cobb, Fox and
Darby Darlington, district board
member. Sub-district board member
Hindman came with them.
Frank Skibinski was elected chair
man of the meeting and called it to
order at $3.50 p. m. Lon Fox arose
and informed the men they would
have to elect new officers and go to
work. Then Cobb and Darlington told
the men they had to return to work.
Certain statements made by Fox and
Cobb concerning the case we're known
to be false by every member present.
d. B. Cobb was asked by one of the
members If he would reopen the dis
posal case if the company would. He
replied, Hell, MOI" The men refused
to hold new elections and declared
their intention of not returning to
work.

After the meeting adjourned, khan
supporter named Asa Wilson struck
old man Bert Farthing, sixty-nine
years old, supposedly over some re-

took part by pulling out blackjack
and attempting to, use it. 1t was jerk

custody of the law in Zeigler. Several
were injured in the fight. Near the
end of the fight Alec Hargis, a khan
supporter, appeared at the door with
a .38 automatic in his hand. Mike
Sarovich was about to leave the hall
when Hargis fired at him. The bull
let passed thru Sarovich and lodged
in Board Member Hindman. Sarovich
died of his wounds a. few days later.
That night Alec Hargis was arrest
ed and held for the murder of Mike
Sarovich. About the same time, Bert
Farthing and son were arrested on a
rioting charge. Bond was secured for
the Farthings.
Eighteen MiIitants Arrested.
On Tuesday evening, August IS,
warrants were served on Is members
of Local 922. These warrants charged
that 26 members of Local 1872 con-
spired together for the murder of D.
B. Cobb. The warrants were sworn to
by Cobb and Fox. Bond was fixed
at 100000 apiece and was imme-
diately filled.
The mine was idle for several days.
The men continue to refuse to work
until old officers are recognized and
until the controversy over the check
