couldn't live on that salary-but he
was determined that no ground should
be given to the enemy to charge him
with mercenary motives in his work.
Randolph is man who loves his
flesh and blood. When his mother
died, he was on his way west on a
tour for the brotherh BOD. He buried
his grief and refused to turn back
from his tour even to attend his
mothers funeral He has been an
ardent socialist (never communist) j,
but he has practically no active par
ticipation in his party's councils since
he entered this fight, deyoting him
self entirely to the cause of the
brotherhood.
This is the man that Vann of The
Courier asks the porters and maids
to GUST. Whatever Vann's motives
may be, they cannot be regarded as
actuated by sincere interest in the
brotherhood. 1t looks like an attempt
to destroy the leadership of the move
ment so that it may be easily killed.
Lancaster, the secretary treasurer
of the brotherhood, is earnest, able,
hard headed, and untiring. An old
porter-he knows the problems of the
men. He also knows his business as
bookkeeper. There are few organ
izations whose finances are more
carefully safeguarder than those of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers. An accredited firm Of expert
accountants audit the books each
quarter, and their reports make it
evident to any fair-minded man that
the finances of the organization are
honestly administered and scrupu-
lousy safeguarded.

many instances, ingnorant or yenal
