CROWS RAPIDLY
Sudden Rise in Membership,
Close to 1000 Increase
in 60 Days.

New York, March 11.-A. Philip
Randolph, General Organizer of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
announced today that since the filing
of the porters' case with the United
States Mediation Board in December,
close to 1000 porters have been en-
rolled in the organization.
From January l to February /,
the membership has been increased
by exactly S82, a large majority of
whom are from the Pennsylvania
Southern districts which until now
remained hostile to the Brotherhood.
Their sudden conversion to our cause
is another evidence of the firm hold
the Pullman porters' struggle has
secured upon these workers in par
ticular and the race in general in
spite of the treachery and weakness
of some of the so-called leaders of
the race. The Brotherhood now has
a membership totaling almost IS per
cent of all porters and maids in the
employ of the Pullman Company, and
with confidence awaits it's recall be-
fore the United States Mediation
Board"

piquant remarks of the Critic, add an
especial flavor. Three-thirty is the

part of the public for larger en-
joyment of its several features and
the greater comfort of those who

81 wanted to help my people. I"
This is the reason given by Chicago's
only colored policewoman, Mrs:
Grace Wilson. for combining her So
cial service work with the role of
mother-confessor to the girls of her
race.
Calls from all over the city at all
hours of the day and night have
filled Mrs. Wilson's nine years of
service, all of which have been spent
at the old Cottage Grove avenue sta
ton, now known as Pekin station.
Regardless of the hour, l always
go. I know the girls need me-" said
Mrs. Wilson. ut pleases me to know
that the policemen do not want to
question our girls, for after all that
is woman's work.
"As a social worker 1 used to talk
to these girls, but l lacked authority
either to impress or help them. Now
the girls look to my police badge as
a shield upon which they can rely"
Mrs. Wilson won the signal distinc-
tion during her first months in the
department Of tracking down, appre-
hending and finally obtaining a con-
fession from a murderer.
"This man had killed a boy during
an argument in crap game" she
explained. $50 anxious was to do
something that would distinguish the
appointment of colored woman to
the police force that I worked day
and night on the case.

minded, however, that no reserva-
tions can be made in excess of two
hundred, and none will be made after
March %. For reservations tele-
phone Mrs. Shanks, Locust 2449, or

Chicaeo's Only Colored Police
Woman Helping Race Girls BY
Acting As Mother Confessor

81 found the girl upon whom the
man called and one day, after wait
ing many hours, l saw him go into
the fiat.
Without remembering that l had
no gun with me l dashed in, placed
the man under arrest and called the
police station. I held him until the
wagon came simply by talking to
him. He was sentenced to prison for
manslaughter."
Most of Mrs. Wilson's work has
been with delinquent women and
children. She says the trouble usu-
ally starts because they want to get
something for nothing.
Before Mrs. Wilson entered the
police department she was house
mother at the state detention home
for girls at Geneva. Despite all the
horrors of life that she has seen, she
still maintains that the world is
good place to live in and hopes for
the development of leadership among
her people that will show them how
to live.
Next to the police department"
she said, Geneva is nearest my heart
and want to go back there as house
mother when retire from active po-
lice work" ......

and Park Ave., st. Paul, Minnesota
on Friday afternoon, March H.

COurteously Received.
About 60 ladies were very courte-
ously received at the plant, where
Mr.. Hunter and Mr.. Gustavson, Off
cials, and Miss Poole, social hostess
acted as guides, showing the ladies
many interesting parts of the bak.
cry. The ladies saw the bread in
each stage of preparation, from the
raw dough to the baked and wrapped
loaf. Each lady was given a LOAF
of the excellent fresh bread to bring
home.
Although only seven years old, the
Zinsmaster Baking Co. is making
rapid strides in the commercial

st. Louis, Mo-, Mar.-(By the AS
sociated Negro Press). The temper
of st. Louis reached the boiling point
last Wednesday night. In Monster
mass meeting with three thousand
people packed and jammed inside the
walls of st. Paul, the city's most his
toric old church, and an overflow
crowd of several hundred meeting in
Union Memorial, block away, the
people of this town, augmented by
visitors from near and far, rose en-
masse to voice their determined and
insistent protest against the receiver
ship which they feel has been un-
justly imposed upon Poro College, as
well as to release the pent up fury
of the community caused by the in
dignities and trials heaped upon the
head of it's founder.
st. Louis Speaking.
This is st. Louis speaking. 1t is
a great tribute and testimonial to
the honor in which St. Louis and the
country holds Poro College and Anna
M. Malone" said Pastor Noah Well
ington Williams, who headed the
committee of citizens and ministers
that arranged the gathering: "In
order that the world might know how
the people of st. Louis, those in high
places as well as the lowly, we have
invited as our guests, a number of
national leaders of thought from va
rious sections of the country as we'll
as the editors of a dozen of Amer
ica's leading newspapers. Not in
half century has our economic life
been so threatened and we want
America to hear our protest.

part of st. Louis which was in the
church, surged forward shouting
yes 1t began to resemble a revival
meeting as they pressed forward to
sign the statement which had been
prepared and adopted as the senti-
ment of the meeting. The statement
expressed confidence in Poro College
and demanded the removal of the re-
