Moore, Negro labor leader was ar
rested here for violating an injunc-
ton obtained by the Negro-owned La
fayette theater of Harlem, against
speaking and agitating in the vicinity
of the theater, for the organization of

was a little raw, the police later
changed the charge to disorderly con-

Moore was denouncing the Negro
theaters which pay scab wages to

tried to break up the crowd by driv-
ing police car recklessly into the
people.
A protest meeting of various organ
lzations under joint auspices was
held in Liberty Hall on 13Sth street,
to protest the arrest. Here Moore
declared:

CITY ENGINEERS
BEHIND FIREMEN
IN CLASS VIEWS
Pay Raise Mostly Goes

BY CARL HAEssLER, Fed. Press.
While the engineers employed by
the city of Chicago have learned the
first lesson of solidarity, which is to
join the union of their craft before
they go on strike, they will lag be-
hind the municipal hrehghters in
their attitude toward wage increases.
The Firemen's Association, Local
No. 2, of the international Associa-
ton of Firefighters, has been work
ing several years for a flat increase
of $500 year to be applied to every
one in the service. The s220O-a-year
pipeman would get his $500 raise just
as soon and just as much as the
SS000-a-year chief
The engineers, after an inorganic
ed walkout last year, pulled a sue
cessful organized strike this year and
got the wage increases they demand
ed. The chief engineer and all the
others joined the union, which is Lo-
cal No. IA Of the craftsmen and tech
nical engineers international, and all
came in for the increases. But while
the rank and filler averages a raise
Of 1915 a year the chief engineer gets
$4,000 raise to $4,000 year and
the chief water construction engineer
gets a $1,000 raise to $4,000.
"The lowest paid man needs the
greatest increase" the firemen say,
but we compromise by asking for
flat raise all around"

high sum of 40 cents an hour for the

Out of such wages as these the men

beans and bread for supper, seven

are forced to buy all their clothing

A significant feature OF these
agencies is that they will only hire
white or colored men separately. Thus
the Wabash Railroad advertises for
whites in one agency and for colored
in another. This shows that the rail
roads are keeping up their policy of
keeping the white and colored work
ers separated and therefore mutually
Misunderstanding distrustful and to
a certain extent hostile to each other.
As is bitterly remembered by a great
many railwaymen it was this attitude
together with the criminal stupidity
Of the union officials, which had
great deal to do with the failure OF

upon this fact and seemed to have a
