William Pickens, field secretary of
the National Association for the Ad-
vaneement of Colored People, makes
the following comment regarding the
anti-Negro school strike at Gary, In
diana:
"Of course, it is the white parents
who are using their children in the
Gary school strike" in order to force
the few colored pupils out of the high
school. They are doing dirty work
through their offspring.
Just as in the South, those who
want to oppress the Negro use the
women. When they want to down
the Negro in Mississippi they dodge
behind the skirts. But in Gary, Ind,
they are hiding under the diapers.
This is bad training for the young
Americans of Gary. 1t will help nei-
ther their respect for law nor their
inclination toward fair play.
The students could not support a
strike without their parents. The
young people are ignorant and the
parents are foolish"

Pullman Co. Answers
Porters' Complaint

WASHINGTON. d. C.-The Pull
man Company today took issue be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission with the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, which recently
protested that Pullman porters faced
the necessity of receiving pay in part
in "tips" from the travelling public.
The porters complaint to the COM
mission declared that the uncertain
returns from 'tips" was a discrimina-
tion which the commission might
remedy.
In the Pullman Company's an
swer, filed October 8, it was con-
tended that the "real purpose of the
petitioners was to secure an increase
in wages and change in working
conditions"
The interstate commerce commits
sion, it was added, has no jurisdic-
ton over such matters, because an
other arm of the government has
been expressly created by congress
to supervise railroad labor contro-
versies.

wilson, mas named ROBERT j. Nelsol
of Wilmington, Del, and has desig
mated him as the executive director
The other two members are to be
appointed later. The function of the
commissioners are to provide ways
and means to look into the civil
and political welfare of our group
with view to remedying these con-
ditions.
This forward step taken by the
last Grand Lodge of the Elks at the
New York meeting will prove to be
OF vital interest to the race. Fol-
lowing in the wake of the educa-
tional and the health programs of
the Elks, the common veal of the
colored people of the country,
through the Elks, will be looked
after.
The Program
In speaking of the program to be
developed by the Civil Liberties de-
partment, Mr.. Nelson, the executive
director, made the following state
ment: The work the commission has
set out to do will be most compre-
hensive. We propose making a sur
yey of the states having equal rights
bills, investigating segregation, ma
tionally and locally; discrimination
in the courts and failure of our
group to be recognized in the draw
ing of juries; ascertain what proper
tion of school funds is allocated to
.tfer colOFcd schools, Where sSlores;
schools obtain inquire what Land
Grant Schools are receiving their
share of the appropriations for said
schools; request information from
State and municipal governments
with respect to colored people being
given employment under such gov
ernment; ascertain whether the con-
ditions in the penal and charitable
institutions are equal for white and
colored. The commission also in
tends to go into the number of
colored citizens who register for the
purpose of voting. In addition. in
quiry will be made to ascertain
whether or not the failure to give
protection to the colored man in the

When we shall have gathered the
information above enumerated
through questionnaires sent out to
the lodges throughout the country,
il will be the purpose of the COM
mission to correct the evils through |
proper recommendations of remedial
measures. Starting as we do with
lodge units ramifying into all parts
of the country, the Elks have at the
beginning a most powerful machine
which can be successfully used TO
correct the evils from which we, as
a race, suffer 1t is our purpose to
cooperate with agencies already in
existence. Through these combined |
efforts we should be able to make
this country cognizant of the fact
that we know our rights and are
ready to fight for them"
