The above is a pen sketch of the
editor and owner of the Cleveland
Gazette, 1922 E. Both St., Cleve-
land, o., who begins his 18th edi-
torial year on August 25 ("every
week on time"). A native OF
Clarksburg, Va, Mr.. Smith has
lived in Cleveland since July, 1865
He was member of the Ohio Leg
islature for three terms-'94, '96
and 1900, and is the father of tive
famous Ohio laws = the Civil
Rights law of '94, and the Anti
Lynching law of '96.
He ran for the Republican nomi-
nation of Secretary of State OF
Ohio in 20, receiving 61,081 votes
and later received more votes than
seven of twelve candidates, all
white except himself, for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor
of Ohio. Civil Rights laws in New
York and Nebraska are modelled
after the Ohio law, and anti-lynch-
ing laws in Illinois, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and other states are
largely copies of Ohio's pioneer
law. Editor Smith led two success
full fights that barred the birth
of Nation" motion picture from
Ohio. His newspaper is a member
of the American Press Half-Cen
fury Club, and the editor is "Dean"
of his group in the nation.

Over Million Dollar
Pay Increase Granted
Sleeping Car POrters

of Labor, as the principal speaker,
with view to increasing the or
ganization strength of the Brother
hood and making known to the
public the nature of the problems
that confronted the porters.
The next important maneuver
of the union was the filing of an
injunction petition in the Federal
District Court in Chicago for the
elimination of the plan of en-
ployee representation, or Company
union. This case was lost. Hard
upon the heels of this court bat
tie, Congress enacted the Amend
ed Railway Labor Act, which fol-
lowing fight by the Brotherhood,
embraced the porters and maids
and dining car employees.
After the Brotherhood was GER
titled by the National Mediation
Board as the sole collective bar
gaining agent of the porters and
maids, the American Federation of
Labor granted the Brotherhood an
international charter. "This is the
first Negro union in the country
to secure international utilization
with the A. F. of L." states Mr..
Randolph. He continued, "This is
the first contract the Brotherhood
has signed with the Pullman Com
pany, and the first time that an
organized body of Negro workers,
through a bona fide trade union,
has ever entered into contractual
relations with a great national in
dustrial corporation such as the
Pullman Company which involves
over a million dollars increase in
income to group of workers in
the race" concluded Randolph.
Local officers of the union are
A. North, president; A. Owens,
vice-president; R. w. Gibson, re-
cording secretary; B. L. Morris,
! corresponding secretary.
Frank Boyd, veteran labor lead
er, is secretary-treasurer of the
local union.

These positions range from that of
an Assistant Director $4,000
$4,000 to Junior Interviewer

ucational background and expert
ence qualities them for such posi-
tons are urged to apply. Applica-
ton forms can be secured at the
State Capitol and through the st.
Paul and Minneapolis offices of the
Urban League.
The, National Urban League and
it's various locals have for the past
years emphasized the Importance
of Negroes taking civil service

of government service. Through
the Twin City Urban League per-
sons who are interested in this
particular examination can secure
valuable information. The League

St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-09-03

A letter received from Spencer
E. Brader, Minnesota enrolment
officer of the C. C. c., would indi-
cate that recent protests against
the exclusion of colored enrollers
was both justified and effective.
The letter states that in the past
two enrolment periods Minnesota
had more places to fill than it
found men to fill them. 1t follows
that there was no reason to send
colored boys out of the state while
yet unable to get men enough to
supply its quota.
This situation has now been cor
rected and colored boys are invited
to apply.
An applicant must be a single,
unemployed youth between the
ages of II and %. He must not
be on probation or parole. If he
has served in the G. C. G. before, he
must have been discharged at least
twelve months prior to his apply
ing for re-enrollment, and if he
has served eighteen months, he is
no longer eligible for re-enroll-
ment.
The lessening of the depression
has made possible the employment
of many more young men, causing
considerable gaps in the C. C. c.
camps. That may explain why col
ored boys are now more welcome
Whatever the reason it is still true
that the advantages of G. G.. C. fol
colored youth are obvious and this
paper urges eligible young men to
accept the invitation which Mr..
Brader touches in the following
language:
eff you know of any boys who
desire to apply, kindly refer them
to the Information Desk, 1st floor,
GOT Third Avenue South"
