TRACTION COMMITTEE

A ommittee headed by James w.
Washington, attended a meeting of
the sub committee on traction, COM
posed of white Aldermen of the
City Council, for the purpose of
securing jobs for Calored men on
the street cars and elevated lines.
Already rumors are flying thick
and fast that the wrong people are
at the head of this committee. This
writer admits that the wrong peo-
pie are heading this committee, he
repeats that our elected officials are
the. ones who should make this
fight and no apology will be made
for past accusations. Now that this
wrong committee has dared to do
what the right committee W S
afraid to attempt, let everybody
wrong or right put his or her
shoulder to the wheel and max a
real fight out of this problem, if
the city council refuses to meet
our demands, or the unions refuse
to accept Negroes to membership
then let those Negroes who want
those jobs take other steps to at
tain them.
We have had committees head
ed by Rev. Austin, Rev. Keller, and
the Urban League handling various
conditions on the south side, I sup
pose these were the right people
to head or represent our group, but
l defy Rev. Austin, Rev. Kellar or
A. L. Foster of the Urban League
to tell the public through this col
umn Just what became of that in
vestigation of the graft and vice
which they, the right people set out
to correct. Rev. Kellar made the
absurd statement that for every
man that quit the policy racket he
would get him job equal to the
one he had. Rev. Kellar was also on
the committee investigating the
movie operaors' union, to my know
ledge nothing has been done
either matter and if there is state
ment from either party I will be
glad to release it through this col
umn. Rev. Austin, Rev. Kellar, A.
l.. Foster and elected officials are
all supported by the generosity of
the public, some of them would not
be able to earn a decent livelihood
otherwise, they have all accepted
their jobs with understanding that
they are to make jobs for others;
so others can make it possible for
them TO make salaries ranging from
$1750.00 to 100000 annually.
In all political campaigns the
main reason for the support Of
elected officials Is their promise to
take care of their constituents after
election in the form of jobs, W e
grant that this canot be done in all |
cases, but we do know that thous-

Raleigh, June 1S.-Now that Cover
nor Clyde R. Hoey has shaken most
of the more choice political plums
from his personal plum tree-only the
State School Commission plums now
remaining on the almost barren
branches-most observers here agree
that the smiling. long-haired sage
from Shelby is not only adept at Sc
lecting appointees who have real
ability and witness for their jobs, but
in seeing that their political back
grounds are such as will help solidify
the party.
Governor Hoey believes first, of
course, in selecting men who are fit
ted by experience and temperament
for the jobs to be filled and so far
most observers agree that he has
placed fitness and ability ahead of all
other considerations. But Governor
Hoey also belongs to that school of
Democratic politics which believes
that to the victor belong the spOils
and that the best way to make the
young colts be good and stay within
the shafts of the party buggy is to
give the regulars the Jumps of sugar
and not to pass it out to those which
kick the dashboard and bust hams
strings. He undoubtedly believes that
one of the best ways to bring the
Younger and more obstreperous colts
around so they will pull together with
the older draft horses pulling the
Democratic band wagon, is to reward
these work horses after they have
demonstrated they had the stuff and
could deliver the goods. 1t is also evi-
dent that Governor Hoey believes it
is good policy and good politics to
bestow his pIums, whenever possible,
upon those who are popular and have
