quently the master of discord, and
while, due to the unifcrm consider
alton which President Garry and the
staff Of the Pullman Company officials
have ever had for Pullman porters,
misunderstanding have been few and
far between, it is genuine good win
which is being served by assigning a
Negro mediator " officials Of impor-
tance and dignity
industrial relations can become
seething chaldror OF discomfort or
they can be made as mellow as the
moonlight They are the Alpha and
the Omega Of the industrial advance
ment Of labor, snd, particularly in
this country, of Negro labor. The
Pullman Companx has set an example
which could be psohtably adopted By
other employers As to Mr. Webb,
Of personal know dge we know him
to be high class gentleman, COM
petent, energetic, and broad in his
vision and Understandings. He will
make good.
With the appointment Of the vet
eran barrister, Thomas /. Jones, as
Assistant United States Attorney for
the District of Columbia, it appears
that the anticipated policy of greater
recognition Of colored people has be-
come effective ard that the future
months will witness the falling Of
many plums to the faithful heirs Of
the fourth estate who have waited So
patiently for their share OF the spoils
of political coml,at. The colored
women, headed BY Miss Halle o.
Brown, Of Wilberforce, and i'll CO.
operation with the Matthews organ
ization have already made IS under
stood that the same has a reasonable
chance to Be consummated by the ap-
pointment of colored women to
number OF outstanding positions. In
New York, it is patent that the Re-
publican National organization must !
do something to offset the prestige
which Tammany Hall, through Gov |
ernor Smith and Mayor Hy1an, has
gained among the colored voters
With Senator Wadsworth preparing
to enter the running again next year it
will Be neeessary,@a Chairman But
Ter announced in Philadelphia, last
week, to prepare for a stern battle. |
The New York vote is heavy and # !
the brethren en- masse could be in
duced to desert the Tammany Hall
crowd it would Be simple matter
to swing the Empire State safely into
the Republican fold.
However, plums talk louder than
words, and if the national Negro or
ganization will be sufficiently definite
IN its requests, agreeing upon candi-
dates for placement and showing 4
real, rather than a visionary harmony,
there is every reason to believe that
key places will Be restored 70 the
Negro voters. A large measure Of
seems 10 have been brought
about by disagreement upon person
mel and plan, about ffty-seven differ
ent varieties OF groups and programs
having been submitted to the white
folks, but not to the colored. Crea-
tive ability has been below normal and
coalition has been made difficult BY
disgruntled few. who seem still to
imagine that antiquated political pro
cedure Is to be resurrected.
Silence reigns concerning The Reg
ister Of Treasury's Office, for which
there are myriad Of candidates. But.
listen man, there are dozens of other
prospects in agriculture, Public
Health, Education, Commerce and
Finance within the gift Of Uncle Sam.
Why not do like Charles z. Hall.
the eminent Census expert, who
created prospective place in the Fed
eral Farm Loan Bureau, and visual
ize something original. even though
some one may, as they did in Halls
case, wait until you've put everything
but the roof on the place and then
try to purloin It. Even 50, such an
effort as Halls IS a constructive one,
and in the end constructive effort will |
win nine times out Of ten. However,
its almost certain that political plums |
viii soon begin to rain III an organ
lied way, and its up to the thoughts
fuI people Of our group To have I
spoon, and not be caught with fork.
The South is probably saying Of
