PROTEST TOFARLEY
ON TREATMENT
OF POSTAL CLERK

NEW YORK-A second protest
to Postmaster General Farley up
on the treatment of Marine w
Webb, former employee in the pos
tai service. was sent recently by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Webb served thirty years
in the post office department and
lew months before he was ELI
gible to retire on pension he was
accused of stealing a money order
from the mail. He was tried in the
United States district court at Lit
tie Rock, Ark. and found not
guilty.
Nevertheless, he was discharged
from the postal service and denied
his pension. He is now an old man
apd is reported to be living on a
small relief allowance In the city
of Cnicago.
When the NAACP wrote Post
master General Farley in April
about the Webb case the depart
ment replied that although the u
S. court had found Webb not gum
ty, the department thought he was
guilty and so 1t would take no ac-
ton for his relief.
The new protest of the NAACP
signed by Roy Wilkins, assistant
secretary, states I'VE are writing
to inquire if the post office depart
ment means to take the position
that the United Staets courts are
not OF be observed and that the
post office department is an eu-
tnoriLy greater than the courts q
the land. Why have courts ?"
The association expresses its
grave concern over the security OF
thousands of postal employees il
the post office department adopts
a policy of overriding the decisions
of courts. There is some ground foi
belief that Webb is being persecutz
ed simply because he is eolored.

the eattle chapter of the Broth
erhood of Sleeping Car Porters al
Apex Hall last Thursday night in.

The presentation of their char
ter to Mr. A. Phillip Randolph,

MIR. William Green, President of
the American Federation of Labor,
in Chicago five weeks ago, marked
the elimination of the greatest
struggle ever waged by men fer
economic recognition.
Under the leadership of NJ. A.
Phillip Randolph, fighting against
every disadvantage, against, de-
sertions. snipers, traitors, and
against the most cruel warfare
known to those determined to
crush this uprising of employees,
this fight for human rights at last
prevailed.
History is forcing upon the Ne
gro the full realization of this
great economic struggle. The We
tory of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters is but the dawn
of a brighter day in their arduous
fight for the right to work and
live.
In the days to come, the name
of A. Phillip Randolph-the Pat
rick Henry of the Negro industrial
world, will rest securely by the
side of Frederick Douglass and
Booker T. Washington-the great
Triumvirate of Negro immortals.
The U. S. Mediation Board or
dered a vote of all Pullman en-
ployees to choose the organization
to represent them before it. the
Company Union or the Brother
hood. The Brotherhood won by a
more than two to one vote. Seattle

voted one hundred per cent for the
brotherhood.

with offices at Oakland, Calf, will
visit Seattle shortly and is sched-
uled TO make a public address. Mr..
$. T. l.. Waters is president, Mr..
T. o. Riley, vice president. Mr.. e.

their young pupils healthier than
they had ever been in their lives.
This bettered health benefits not
only the pupils themselves. but the

physical care which the children
are given is reflected in increased
weight and resistance to disease,
and thus raises the health stand

Each child is inspected by a
nurse daily on arrival at nursery
school, to be sure that he is well
enough to be with other children
Then comes one of the happiest
times of the day, play-time with
other children of his own age
There are toys and play equipment
to develop growing, sturdy bodies
and minds, and trained teachers to
help the children over difficulties
that always arise when children
are learning how to play together
There is a well-planned, nourishine
