PULLMAN PORTERS'
STRIKE CALLED OFF

New York, N. Y.-The threatened
strike of Pullman porters, set for
June 8, was called off by A. Phillip
Randolph, general organizer for the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters
1t is understood that the plans for the
strike had failed, according to those
informed.
Randolph said, however, the action
was taken at the request of William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who said that
although he felt the porters were
fully justified in striking, the public
had not been fully informed of con-
ditions.
II am of the opinion it would be
unwise to engage in strike now, =
the federation president said in a
telegram. Economic conditions are
unfavorable to the success of such ar
undertaking."
Randolph said the strike machinery
would be kept intact "to be set il
motion at more propitious time"

AGAINST OMAHA GUIDE

The editor of The Monitor has filed
a suit for ten thousand dollars against
The Omaha Guide Publishing COM
pany, Herman J. Ford, editor; Ed
Cooper, F. M. Michael, A. l.. Chase
and the Linograph company of Dav-
export, Iowa, alleging he was am
aged by an article published in The
Omaha Guide, March %, 1928.
The article charged that the editor
of The Monitor had forged names to
letters commencing his editorial
stand relative to the suicidal policy
of two colored candidates filing in
the same legislative district. The
Guide article publicly branded the
editor of The Monitor as a liar. The
editor of The Monitor wrote the edi-
tor of The Guide advising him that in
the opinion of the county attorneys
office and others, the article was ac-
tionable as criminal libel and also
made him liable for damages and re-
questing public retraction. The let
ter was ignored. The Guide having
declined to make any reparation al
though it has been given ample time
and opportunity to do so, the suit for
damages has been filed.

THEIR LETTERS

Dear Nom:
I suppose you wondered why I
was writing to Michele. Well, I'll
tell you. I wanted to stage a bout
in his studio. He helped me arrange
the details and wrote the invitations
to the two leading participants.
When Pede spoke of meeting Nor
man on the field OF honor, I thought
why not? So Michele consented to
lend his studio and we asked a good
audience.
The invitation to Pede read as
a note from Norman asking for a
chance to wipe out the insult of
that bat in the eye and naming the
time and place. A like note went
to Norman ostensibly from Pede
stating that a South American could
lick a North American and also
naming the time and place. Each
named Michele as his second and
asked that all communications be
sent to him. Both accepted by
wire.
You should have seen those two
when they found out that they were
in for regular boxing exhibition.
The guests wouldn't let them back
out. Michele read off a speech
he'd prepared about two knights in
pursuit of lady. They'd made a
little dais just outside the roped-of
space for me. was the lady. but
from the way Pede and Norman
looked at me I don't think the pur-
suit will be very hot from now on.
1t was the funniest fight you ever
saw. OF course, they had gloves
on and didn't hurt each other much,
and neither new how to box.
The party was a great success,
but 1 had a hard time laughing it
off with Pede and Norman. I didn't
know until got home that it was
my night for a fight, to- 1t was
Alan's lodge night, so he wasn't
asked to the party, but he came any
how. He missed the contest, but
some one told him about it and he
got mad Said if I thought I was
Helen Of Troy I'd better not think
he was going to be a Menelaus. He
was Helen's easy going husband, you
know.
Alan certainly can be insinuating
when he wants to. I wonder some
times if the happiness you get out
Of marriage is worth all you have
