ANNOUNCEMENT

N. B. Miss Helen Benner of st.
Paul on entering the contest March
IL took % books of tickets. When
it was discovered at home that she
was a contestant, her aunt, it is
understood, refused to let her re-
main in the contest. This is per-
fectly all right, since a contestant
may withdraw whenever she
wishes, BUT of the 25 books only
Is have been returned. No money
and little explanation has been Civ
en- of the whereabouts of the re-
naming seven books leach book is
worth SOC in votes). We feel that
is an unfair way to do after we
have spent so much in handling the
contest,

MP. Walters and
POrters Assn.
Plans Explained

OoyIe, acClng puDnclty chairman
of the Northern Pacific Walters
and Porters Mutual Protective As
ISOLATION, Inc, explained purposes
and plans of Negro railroad work.
ers, particularly walters and por-
tiers, to further organize into a
strong national body.
Mr.. Doyle wrote:
"To the Editor:
Railroads employ the largest
number of Negro people in the in
dustrial field. It has been in these
industries that the foundation of
the United States businesses have
depended. It has been said that as
the railroads go, so goes business.
There has been much discussion
pro and con in regard to the
status, if any, that the American
Negro holds in this labor field. The
white workers have sought and OBJ
tanned many liberties with the Ne
gro laborer. It is time for our la
borers to take their own liberties.
Over Cautious Uncle Toms
Attempts have been made to or
ganize the Negro, but until the
present day there always existed
too large majority of over-cau-
tious Uncle Toms. A recent result
of determined fight for recogni-
ton as a sole-bargaining power of
the Pullman Porters by the Broth
erhood of Sleeping Car Porters has
served the too-long idle labor stick.
It is time to WELD the stick into
this furious and determined battle.
White workers have done so, and
in the majority of cases, have re-
ceived wage increases and better
working conditions. We are entitled
to this same kind of recognition,
which is true representation and
consideration.
National Council Formed
"The Dining Car Departments of
the railroads of the United States
have begun a sure-footed journey
toward the goal of equal rights in
labor disputes. A national council
has been formed with this end in
mind. It is the agent of twelve
thousand men. Mr.. Randolph, who
has been spoken of by the press as
the greatest Negro in organized la
Dor, has pledged his full support
to this effort.
Northwest Represented
"The Northwest is represented
by the Northern Pacific Walters
and Porters Mutual Protective As
ISOLATION. After much effort, and
in some cases loss of jobs, this Or
ganization has succeeded in gain
ing official recognition by the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
as the only bargaining power for
the members of the Association.
This is a 1000 union which en-
deavors to settle all disputes be-
tween walters and pOrters, and
their employers. The officers, to
whom much credit is due, are Ma
Geo Finney, president, Maceo Lit
tlejohn, first vice-president and le-
gal adviser, L. w. Stafford, second
vice-president, Clarence McCul-
Tough, third vice-president, L. A.
Anderson, recording secretary,
Harry S. Brown, corresponding
secretary, and Roy Green, treas
urer.
Get Wage Increase
'These men, with the cooperation
of the entire group, have succeeded
in getting the very conservative
executives of the Northern Pacific
to increase the wages of these en-
ployes a sum totaling $14,393.
From a basic low of $65.4O and a
high Of $S5, it ranges from $75 to
$93 now. A potential membership
of 115 and an operating group of
81 benefit by this raise and i'm
proved working conditions.

ABSENTEE VOTERS
ARE GIVEN DATA
G. o. P. Headquarters Puts
Out Information for Those
Interested Here.

Absentee voters residing here had
their attention called today to re-
quirements in Several States for quail
Tying. to cast ballots in the November
elections.
The technical staff at the Republican
headquarters, 1413 H street NV.
released series of questions and
answers for the benefit of those in
tereSted.
The Maryland law provides that
one year from the day a person files
with the clerk of the circuit court
of any county or with the registrars
a declarations to become resident
eligibility to register and vote is es-
tablished.
Answering a question from a Fed
eral employe from Jersey City, N. j.,
who said he voted in 1884, it was
pointed out that he will not have
to reregister, as registration is perma-
nent in Jersey City for those who vote
every four years. However, it was
explained that the voter will be re-
quired to go home to vote, as New
Jersey has no provisions for voting
by mail
The New York law, it was explained,
requires all persons residing in a place
of more than 5000 to register in per-
son biennially. Registration will be
held October IA, is, 81 and %, and
at the same time, it was pointed out,
one must also apply for an absentee
voters ballot. Exceptions to this are
inmates of soldiers and sailors homes,
veterans receiving treatment in United
States hospitals, persons in Federal
service, teachers and students.
Pennsylvania passed permanent
registration law in 1887, and persons
who have not registered under the
provisions Of this law may do so at
any time before october 8.
Absent voters from Massachusetts
had their attention called to the law
providing that registrars make up
their lists from the poll tax lists fur
nlshed by the assessors. If voters do
not have their names on this list,
through family sources or otherwise,
it will be necessary for them to ap-
pear in person before the registrars
of their voting places before October
19 and prove qualifications. Applica-
ton may then be made to the secre-
tary of the Commonwealth or to the
city clerk for an official absentee
voters ballot.
