Porters Win
Case Against
Pullman Co.

CHICAGO. - A singular victory
was scored by the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters here last week,
when Federal Judge George e.
Johnson refused to dismiss suit
asking an injunction against the
Pullman Company. The action
knocked out an attempt to block
the porters' fight for better wages
and working conditions. The port
ers argue that under the present
pay cut. with almost an absence
of tips, they are hardly able to earn
living, while working hours have
been increased.

FROWN AND BE LONESOME

The following words taken f ON
what someone has said is sure
recipe for more happiness in this
world if each and every one could
follow their sentiment:
If you have a crouch, forget it. If
anything unpleasant ever happers to
you. laugh it out of countenance. To
forget-that is what we need; just to
forget If somebody has done you an
injustice, square it by doing some one
good turn. All the petty annoy
ances, the mean words, the unkind
acts. the deep wrongs, the disappOint-
ments, just let them go, don't hang
on to them. then see how much hap
pier you are. There will come times
when swallowing so bitter a pill will
seem almost impossible, but don't
hesitate to swallow. Life is not so
complex if we do not insist in making
it so.
What we need is to keep the cor
ners of our mouths turned up and
not down.

savings.

1t is with pleasure we note that
Editor Fay Cravens of the Mile Laos
County Times, has filed as candi-
date for representative in the Mime
sofa legislature from his county. For
years a militant progressive. Editor
Cravens has been fighting for the best
interests of the people-cleaner gov
ernment. He has performed an ex-
cellent service in his county in keep
ing the people informed on the vital
issues of the day through his news
paper which is one of the best weekly
in Minnesota.
AS a member of the legislature Mr..
Cravens can further extend his serv-
ice to the people of his county and the
state, and we know he will represent
their true interests. A man Of many
years experience and discerning in
governmental affairs he knows that
most bills presented in legislative
halls are either on the side of the peo-
pie or in behalf of special interests.
He sees clearly the line drawn be-
tween the conflicting interests and
knows how and where to vote and
work. With legislatures of. more than
a fifty per cent membership of the
Cravens type there would soon be
real functiOning of government in be-
half of the people. Camouflaging,
buck-passing. sidestepping, nepotism.
self-seeking and the like would soon
pass out of the picture.
