The 'Briny Toyshop" was closed

dow still displayed an enticing ar
ray of delightful playthings, but
the latch was hard down on the
door, and its little lady propri-
etress had retired to her favorite
low rocker by rear window fac
ing the sea.
The most persistent youth in the
small sea-faring village ratified
the door, but in vain. Miss Ma
tilda Bell did not even hear.
There seemed more than ordi-
nary magic in the glowing spell
cast by the sun at this close of
day. The old-fashioned garden
sloping to the rocky shore seemed
a fairy place. The sea was many
hued, dusky, wondrous, and its
melody came pleasantly to Miss
Matilda. There were dreams in
Miss Matilda's eyes as she
watched; not the happy, hopeful
dreams of youth, but the deeper,
sadder dreams of one who has
lived long.
Miss Matilda was so much q
part of her surroundings that she
had ceased to notice them in de-
tail. Her mind had flown back
nearly so years, to the time when
she had not the faintest thought

Matilda felt herself in the arms of
her young lover, so tender, so

And he had sailed away, full of
hope and happy anticipations of
the day when he should return to
make her his wife. Miss Matilda's
eyes blurred. That day had never
come. There had been a fire
aboard the ship-and the young
officer, who belonged heart and
soul to Matilda Bell, had given
his life for another.
Years had taken away that first
tragic grief, but Miss Matilda had
loved too deeply to forget. How
she wished she had been with
him! Sometimes he seemed to
speak to her in the voice of the
sea, and she would say that she
was coming-some day soon, very
soon-coming to be with him.
On the rocks below Miss Ma

Randolph Calls
Conference of
Car Porters

According to information re-
ceived at the Mid-Western Head
quarters of the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, a conference
of train porters and chair car por-
tiers has been called by A. Philip
Randolph, International President
of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, and will be held in the
home of the Brotherhood, 1921
South Michigan Avenue, Thursday
and Friday, January 9th and 28th.
The purpose of the conference is
to discuss and develop program
of nationwide organization of
train porters and chair car porters
on all of the railway systems of
the country with a view to provid-
ing protection for these classes of
workers under the Railway Labor
Act which they do not now pos
sess. Under the present status of
these workers, they have no rights
before the National Mediation
Board, the Federal agencies that
have exclusive power to regulate
the work and wages of railroad
workers as well as their job secur-
ity. These workers are without
status because they lack organi-
Zation.
Mr.. Randolph and Mr.. M. P.
Webster, Ist International Vice
President to the Brotherhood, will
present program of organization
to the conference as well as set up
the necessary machinery for or
ganizing train and chair car por-
tiers on the various carriers in
the nation.
Unless the train and chair car
porters are successful in becoming
organized they face the probable
ity within the next ten or fifteen
years, along with other unor-
ganized Negro railroad workers,
of being wiped out of the industry.
Organization is their only saliva
ton, concluded Mr.. Randolph.

] IS. Jackson, Urban League Sec
rotary, presented review of Ne
gro Labor in Seattle for 1887.
Pointed and enlightening discus
sion followed concerning employ
ment of Negroes by local public
utilities, aids to Negro business
es, services given by some of the
employees of offshore boats and
other pressing industrial problems.
The meeting made the following
recommendations to itself and the
community: (1) that in the North
west Negroes should enter unions,
all civic organizations, and other
groups by trade or interest and
should be as useful as possible in
them; % the community as a
whole is affected by the stewards
department employment of the
American Mail Line and that the
whole community should bring
pressure to bear on persons known
not to give good service on the
job to the point that offenders
improve their service aboard ship
and their behavior in foreign ports
and (3) that such meetings as the
one in session would be of value
to the community and that provis-
ions should be made for their per-
manency.
The 1887 Review of Negro La
Dor in Seattle by the Urban
League follows:
Negro labor in Seattle made
some definite gians in 1887 over
1896. During 1876 Negroes had
largely disappeared from automo-
bile row. Late 1886 and 1887 saw
many new men employed by sales
agencies as busters, porters, and
other utility services. The Post
Office made several permanent
appointments of clerks and car
riers, among whom were several
Negroes; new ones were given
substitute employment. A mechan-
ical dentist was employed before
he was in town a month; two
skilled pressers got work through
the union almost at once.

Fascism Grows
In U. S., Dodd,

NEW YORK, Jan. - (CNA) =
Fascism is on the march today
in America. Millionaires are
marching to the tune. 1t will come
in this country unless a strong de-
Tense is set up by all liberal and
progressive forces"
This was the grim warning de-
livered this week by William E.
Dodd, former U. S. Ambassador to
Nazi Germany, on his return to
this country.
With his vivid impressions of
the inner workings of Nazism fresh
in his mind, and his inside knowl-
edge of the bonds of sympathy and
hard cash which link some of
Americas ruling families to the
Nazis, Dodd welcomed the posi-
bility to speak openly at last.
"a clique of U. S. industrialists
is hell bent to bring a fascist state
to supplant our democratic gov
eminent and are working closely
with the fascist regimes in Ger
many and ITALY," he asserted.
Certain American industrialists
had great deal to do with bring
ing fascist regimes into being in
both Germany and Italy, he said.
They extended aid to help fascism
occupy the seat of power and they
are helping to keep it there.
"Propagandists for f a S els
groups try to dismiss the fascist
scare. 1--WE should be aware of
the symptoms. When Industrial
lists ignore laws designed for social
and economic welfare, they will
seek recourse with fascist state
when the institutions of our gov
eminent compel them to comply
with the provisions" he warned.

a dramatic sign of mourning for
the eight victims lynched last year.

who has been imprisoned in San

Ernest Ramsay and Frank Con-

of last year.

1.-THE unanimous eagerness OF
American labor, regardless of af-
filiation, to fight for the freedom
of a trusted leader, has been a
splendid and impressive thing to
witness"
Garfield King is prominent in
the Northwest for his notable
work in organizing the Little The
alter, the Progressive Arts Club,
and the Vancouver Branch of the
National Film Society of Canada,
as we'll as for his legal work as
counsel for large Canadian unions.
He stopped in Seattle to con-
fer on future defense plans for
his brother, with Bert Coleman,
who has just been unanimously
elected agent for the Seattle
Branch of the Marine Firemen's
Union. He told Mr.. Coleman that
he has every confidence that the
higher courts in America will al
low the three defendants new
and fair trial.
They were arrested on charges
of conspiracy to murder, August
81, 1886, just at the opening of the
pre-strike Maritime negotiations
in which Earl King would have
been an influential leader.
