called upon to appear in private
before the Empress Of Germany
and in the palaces Of rulers of
other nations.
To inquiring people she explains:

ced reduction of an hour a day OBJ
tanned by workers employed by the
telegraph company for fifty years or
more. Only five workers out OF 1000

The company grants little insignif.

In one Of the recent bulletins issued
by the company union, the workers
are told in wonderful words of the
special privileges obtained for the
workers employed so years or more.
1t states: I'VE made 1t understood

Dear Comrades: / want to thank
you for writing me copy of a letter
sent you by Howard F. Hughes, OF
Hillsboro, Oregon.
Mr.. Hughes reminds me of the city
man who goes out in the country
to hunt rabbits-he shoots at the
wiggling grass before seeing the
game, or finding out whether there is
rabbit behind the screen.
My article on "The Marooned
Farmers" was not half as bad as It
could be. did not tell near all Of
the things know about taxes and
high cost OF farming and low receipts
for crops.
The story was written about condi-
tons in Washington-not Oregon
and the figures given were quoted
from statements made by reliable
men, who had carefully examined
the records, before making the state
ments.
Some OF the most exorbitant
charges against the people of the
state Of Washington are taxes. In
one valley, II is stated the farmers
pay SIC to SIS an acre taxes These
conditions are in washington-not
Oregon--and the article IN question
did not mention Oregon.
Again thanking you, am
Fraternally yours,

PULLMAN PORTERS
CELEBRATE Great
u MON PROGRESS
Victory Dinner Held in
New York
BY cLARlNA NICHOLSON
worker Correspondent


NEW YORK, Dec. 10. - Two hun
dred and fifty trade unionists and
friends of the Brotherhood Of Sleeping
Car Porters gathered recently to con-
graduate the young union OF colored
workers on the progress they had
made during the past year, at labor
dinner at the Yorkville Casino.
'In August 1926" said A. Philip
Randolph, general organizer for the
brotherhood, 1--WE started our work Of
organization. We now have major
ity of the 10000 porters turnout the
country in our union.
"They are fast waking up to the
realization that the only way they can
escape from their present slavery is
by joining the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters."
Ask for Hearing.
Randolph stated that the brother
hood had recently asked the railway
mediation board for a hearing. This
step was taken after a request to the
Pullman company for a conference
was ignored.
"Our grievances and claims are not
those of men who do not know what
they want, or why, but are substant-
tally backed up by thoro study and
report of the porters' conditions made
by the labor bureau" he declared. 1--WE
have a good case and we expect to
win"
Tells of Conditions.
Robert w. Bagnall, of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, pointed out the in
tolerable conditions under which the
porters work. "These men are given
an average wage of only $72 month,
and on many OF their runs they have
only three or four hours sleep a
night" he said. these and other in
sufferable conditions will be done
away with thru the efforts of the Bro
therhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
which deserves our whole hearted sup
port"
Other speakers who congratulated
the members and officers of the bro
therhood, were Eugene X. Jones, ex-
ecutive secretary of the National Ur-
ban League, Robert L. vann, editor OF
the Pittsburgh Courier, and Samuel
Untermeyer, noted lawyer.
