The Watson-Parker Bill

/. The Watson-Parker Bill
Ere this column reaches the reading
public, the Watson Parker Bill, a
measure providing for the prompt dis
position Of disputes between carriers
and their employees, probably will have
been passed by Congress. This bill, if
passed, automatically abolishes the
Railway Labor Board, and sets up a
new code of procedure and mediation
machinery, presumed to make for the
prompt adjustment of wage and other
disputes arising between transportation
lines and their workers. The bill is
based, principally, upon voluntary
ameloriation and adjustment; but car
ries strong clause authorizing the ap-
pointment of mediation boards to hold
hearings and render decisions upon the
disputes presented. The bill, upon its
face. anticipates that disputes shall in
volve groups of allied workers, who
shall present their claims in the collec-
tive style.
When it is recalled that in the United
States there are approximately $4,000
Negro rail workers who are directly
engaged in handling or safeguarding
the transportation of persons or prop
erty over the lines of the various steam
railway carriers, it is at once clearly OBJ
vious that the Watson-Parker bill is Of
vital concern, and that the benefits it
seeks to make available to employer
and employee, alike, are open to use by
these $4,000 colored workers of rail
and tie, if they will but be wakeful of
their rights. The philosophy back of
the bill is stated with clarity by Con-
gresham Schuyler Merritt, Repub-
lican, of Connecticut. who says:
mo intelligent employer of labor
now fails to recognize that his en-
ployees are not mere units, and still
less mere machines, but that they are
human beings with like feelings and
like desires to his own, and with the
same rights TO life, liberty, and the
pursuit Of happiness And as to the
conditions Of labor and wages it is very
common to have shop councils and
shop committees SO that the employers
and the employed can meet together as
partners in a common enterprise, and
as fellow men who can discuss their
common interests and relationships as
man to man"
In the slang vernacular, it's up to
the $4,000 railroad brethren to make
EN- know it, under the Watson
Parker Bill, if passed. And the first
step is to perfect the unit idea. to-
gether with shop councils, committees,
and other group formations. Then
maybe the Negro train porterS who are
now doing brakeman's work can re-
ceive brakemen's pay; and perhaps the
race can develop some more telegraph
operators, engineers and other crafts
men Of notable qualifications, position
and pay.

MRS. ROBERT A. WILLIAMS
FINISHES HER WORK

She died suddenly from an attack
IF the heart, February 18th. The last
rites were held at St. Etizabeth's Ro-
man Catholic Church, 41st street and
Wabash avenue, Monday, Feb. END.
at $50 a. m. The solemn high mass
was impressive. The remains were
laid at rest at Calvary Cemetery.
Flowers were in abundance in many
designs, giving evidence of the esteem
in which she as'held.
The passing out of Mrs. Williams
means the dismantling of the last of
the old landmarks west of State street.
Thirty years ago it was matter of
distinction to live on Dearborn street.
between 9th and 39th streets. Only
the pure in heart lived there. About
20 wears ago, as more commodious
dwellings, became available east of
State street, the exodus began and
Wabash avenue soon became La Rue
de Luxe. Michigan avenue and Grand
boulevard at that time seemed impos-
sible, but finally fell easy to the in
vaders.

bv keeping a few choice boarders, who
will be remembered as the Dearborn

hour was spent. Mrs. Williams is
gone, but not dead.
Not few public leaders now hold
ing office but owe their early political
successes to the able work Of her hus-
band, Robert Bob" Williams, and
Major J. c. Buckner. Both men have
died, leaving behind a name that, when
the political history of the second
ward is written, will shine forth like
two giant stars.
Mrs. Williams was loved by host
Of friends covering the full length Of
her life. Her passing into the great
region beyond is not to be mourned,
but rather let us rejoice, for there
could be no doubt whatever as to her
abode. In church work, club work, lodge
work, civic work, or in any sort OF or
ganization work. she fitted ably in any
department. assigned her. She was IN
falteringly faithful. She lived a beau
tiful Christian life
After all, we ask the question
Whether it is better to live the sweet,
simple Christ-like life, or The gaudy
superficial? Her work is done and
her memory goes on.
It is worth mentioning that even
the slightest wish Of the deceased was
carefully and painstakingly carried out
by Mrs. Terrevous L. Douglas, her
niece.
