THE DIFFERENCE

The difference between savings
and insurance is simply this: If you
put $25.00 in the bank at the first
of the month, and die one month
later, your widow, the next day,
would receive exactly $25.07.
If you put so cents in life insur-
ance at the first of the month, and

BROTHERHOOD'S ATTORNEY
DISCUSSES |. c. c. CASE AT
PORTERS' MASS MEETING

New York-An audience of Pull
Luke's hall, recently cheered to the
echo the remarks of Hon. Henry T.
Hunt, former members of the United
States railroad board, ex-mayor Of
Cincinnati and attorney for the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
The meeting was called by the union
to permit the attorney to discuss with
the men the case of the brotherhood
now pending before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, wherein the
porters pray the commission for an
investigation of the tipping evil" as
it affects the porters and the travel
ing public with view to abolishing
it as the method by which porters and
maids are rewarded for their labors.
Attorney Hunt, after dealing with
the legal phase of the question, then
traced the history of the relations of
the company with the Negro immedi-
ately after the Civil War when the
Negro race in the United States be-
gan life as so-called freemen. "Snarl-
ing under the bitterness of defeat,
the white people of the South and
others assumed that Negroes ought to
work longer hours, and for less pay
than white men. This idea has spread
to such an extent that it is accepted
and even defended by those who pose
as their friends. The management
of the Pullman company seem to be
of that school" Continuing, Mr..
Hunt said, ''The locomotive engineers
and the other white railroad workers
enjoy higher incomes and better
working conditions, mainly because
they have power, power to strike and
tie up the transportation system and
the nation, unless those who own
that system are willing to listen to
the demands of the workers and rec
ogniZe their right to share in the
profits that come to the owners as a
result of the workers efforts" This,
said Mr.. Hunt, is the lesson to be
learned by the Pullman porters.
You must get together, stand to-
gether, and if necessary, strike to-
gether, for your rights" The aud
fence greeted Mr.. Hunts reference
to "strike" with sustained and thun-
derous applause.
A. Philip Randolph, general organ
izer of the brotherhood, followed At
torney Hunt with an address remark
able for its blending of oratory, mill
fancy, vigor and clarity. 'It was a
fighting Speech" was the remark
heard everywhere in the vast aud
fence as it struggled to shake the or
ganizer's hand at the conclusion of
the meeting. Randolph also won
prolonged applause when he announc-
ed that the policy of the brotherhood
toward the new wage conference I'M
der the so-called employee represen-
tation plan of the Pullman company
would be one of vigorous and relent-
less opposition. II hereby serve no
tice on every member of the brother
hood to refuse absolutely to vote for
the company-chosen delegates to this
lso-called conference. The company
must not again be permitted to in
Iveigle you into signing another vel
low dog contract"
i Others who addressed the porters
were Roy Lancaster, secretary-treas-
urer, and S. E. Grain, field represen-
tative of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters. Frank R. Cross

MANY ARRIVE
IN MANDAN FOR
TOUR NAMENT
Attendance at State Cage
Meet Indicates Basketball
Is Major Indoor Sport

Basketball has risen to be the
major indoor sport of North Dakota
If attendance and interest in the
state basketball tournament here are
a fair indication.
Scores of people have followed
their favoritc teams here for the
and interest in the games
is at fever heat throughout the en-
tire state, judging from the tcle-
grams which have been received by
teams from supporters in their home
towns who are fondly hoping their
favorites will pull through to the
championship or at least make a
good showing.
Several Of the leading newspapers
have sent sport writer's to cover the
games and complete descriptions of
the various contests are being sent
out by The Associated Press, the
membership of which comprises
every daily newspaper in the state.
To Broadcast Games
In addition to this service radio
listeners can receive reports of the
games direct from the playing floor
for the first time in the history Of q
state basketball tourney.
A direct hook-up to the big gymna-
SUM of the state training school has
been made by KGCU, the Mandan
Radio Association, and a description
Of the games is put on the air as the
plays are made. The power Of the
station has been amplificd SO that
radio fans in all parts of the state
may hear the reports without diff
ficulty.
The misunderstanding system
first was tried out during the district
tournament and favorable comments
were heard from all parts of North
Dakota and many points in South
Dakota, Minnesota and Montana. A
check-up after the district tourney
showed that 1,269 letters were recciv-
cd praising the service.
Observers here say that the inter-
est displayed in the tournament
proves beyond doubt that basketball
has taken first rank among winter
sports in North Dakota.
