ing Ill mind that The Pullman Com.
pany is continually trying out other
men in the service, and that white
men, Jews, are said to be negotiating
to take over this phase of the work
IS the problem up against which Ran.
dolph is running the porters. That's
ii front Of them. What is behind?
Behind is Randolph a failure in ev.
erything he has ever undertaken as
an organizer. Whas else?
The Pullman conductors union is
said to have shown some sympathy
toward Randolph. Why? Well, in
the first place, the conductors are re-
ported to have objected to the COM
pany union because Negro sat on
the Industrial Relations Board, and
the conductors did not want a mig
ger" deciding their cases. Further
more. the Pullman conductors are
afraid of the Pullman porters. There
are about 2,8O0 conductors and about
$500 purtegs, in-cllarge. These por-
ters-in-charge are a source of weak
ness to the conductors. The strength
behind any demands the conductors
might make is less than it might be
because there are almost enough por-
ters to take the place of all the con-
ductors. The conductors therefore,
want to get the portcrs off their back.
They, as consequence encourage
their unionization as q sort of self
protection, and not because of any
interest in the porters' welfare. So
Randolph brilliant failure, and the
Pullman conductors, with an axe to
grind are behind the porters, careless
of what is in front because they have
other and more selfish ends in view.
The only difference between Ran
dolph and Marcus Carvey seems to
have been to the extent of Carvey's
work and the real virtue of Carvey's
cause.
Porters would do we'll to look
thoroughly into this unionism talk
anyhow. Unions of the modern sort
have been developing for nearly cen
tury at a great cost of life, energy and
property. They were conceived to
protect the masses against the class
es, labor against wealth. But what
has happened? A Randolph sympa+
thizer writes in the Pittsburgh Courier
that there are forty-fve million white
workers in America, about 10 per cent
of whom are organized. That is
to s-v. the mass of workers are still
outside the unions, in fields in which
the writer admits the difficulty of or
ganization, fnd a new CLASS, the
uricn yorker. FIVE million strong. re-
ceives benefits in the form of high
wages, which the mass must contln-
uc 10 pny for in the form of high
prices for necessities, luxuries and
taxes ius. as it has ALWAYS done. AS
m ster of fact, .present-day unions
have inst taken the first step in the
adjustment that must come between
cap:tal and labor. and it is not at all
beyond the mark 70 ssv that labor
leaders may be forced to turn en-
tirelv around and adopt new theories
if the laborer is to benefit, theories
