Organizer Moloy said the case
should interest colored rail work

firemen and brakemen, because if
the secret contract or agreement
is not broken, in a few years Ne
gro firemen and brakemen will
be a thing of the past. He based
his prediction on the fact that no

Declaring that "the problem of
the Negro worker is a problem
that must be solved by the labor
movement-and soon," the confer
ence instructed its chairman, Mil
ton P. Webster, to appoint a COM
mittee of five to meet with lead
ers of the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor. Webster is first
international vice-president of the
international Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters.
The conference characterized the
jenkins Bill as a smokescreen to
attack trade unions. "The jenkins
Bill is a product of the employers
interests. The racial question is on
ly a smokescreen."

Jackson, Tenn, July 10 (ANPl
Cclored railway workers especial
~ firemen and brakemen, tarough
their organizations-the Interna-
tional Association of Railway En-
ployes and the International AS
socation of Colored Trainmen and
Locomotive Firemen- this week
pressed their fight to retain SEN
iority rights and to stop the re-
placement of colored workers by
whites.
Activity among the eolored
trainmen was given added impetus
following a conference of leaders
with officials of NAACP during
rae recent NAACP annual confer
ence in Richmond, Va. Present a.
unat meeting were l.. r. Moloy,
represent IARE; j. A. Reynoh.
and Richard Birkes of the colcre~
trainmen's association; Thurgood
Marshall, Leon A. Ransom and
James NJ. Nabrit, Jr., of NAACP
legal staff and Charles Houston
and Joseph Waddy, counsel for the
colored trainmen's association.
The c~onferees discussed the pre-
sent status of colored workers on
tho railroads of the South, part.c-
ular attention being given to the
case of Ed. league, veteran fire
mar of the G. NJ. & N. Railroad
who was displaced in the switch
ing service.
Moloy, employees representative
and kARE general organizer told
the group that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has before 1t an
order that all coal burning engines
owe a certain tonnage over the
minimum. He said the only en-
gines which will be hand-fired in
1943 will be yard engines and
switch engines. He also said that
under a secret contract between
the railroads and the Brotherhood
(white), regarding mechanically
stocked engines, the white flremen
get preference on regular runs.
Attorney Houston expressed the
opinion that when seniority rights
prevail, a senior fireman has a
property right in his job as a
gainst a junior fireman and that
anyone who violated that right
was liable. Further in the Tea
que case, the Railroad and the
Brotherhood were in conspiracy to
destroy leagues rights under the
seniority rule.
Attorney Nabrit said that the
Brotherhood, as bargaining agent,
could not use its position to des-
troy the minority that such action
was not representation but misreP-
presentation, fraudulent and an ac-
ton in bad faith.
All present at the Richmond con-
ference were agreed that this Sc

but the vagaries OF baseball are
peculiar. No title is won until IL
is mathematically ended.
Up to the disastrous seventh
1sekite was scoring effectively
with his fast ball and a change.
He had whitfield eight men.
Then II all happened so quick
~ that even Isekite must have
wondered n IL could possibly
be the same game and night.
But that's the great national
sport. Nothing il certain,
nothing can he taken for
granted.
The Tigers went into the lead
in the first on Abbott's single,
Garretson's walk and Reich's sin
gle to center, scoring Abbott. They
chalked up another in the fifth
after two were in salt. Abbott
walked and Garretson brought him
home with a double to right.
Mountains double to left start
ed things in the sixth. Colbern
went out on a grounder and then
Mcmillan singled to left and Ise-
kite doubled off the left center
wall to score the runners.
The seventh was next, the eighth
followed and the game went sky
high for the Tigers.
The Tigers had a chance in
the seventh themselves, but a
tough call for Umpire Stewart,
which put Abbott out at third,
chucked cold water on things.
Abbott singled to left at the
outset of the frame. He was
sent to second on Garrefson's
bunt. Reich hit to Quinn at
third and Abbott started for
the bag. Quinn held the ball
and waited for Morry, who
dived under him and crawled
to the bag. Quinn missed him
entirely. But Stewart ruled
Morry went out of the three
foot allowance space.

fan attack, via the vocal route. A

NEW STEAMER FOR
SMYRNA RIVER

Having purchased from r. w. &
E. Lutte, of Mt. Holly, N. j., the
new steamer Ella, built in March
1888, the Philadelphia & Smyrna
Transportation Company are hav-
ing her equipped as a first-class
freight boat, with limited passen-
ger accommodations. Special care
has been taken to give plenty of
room between decks in freight
house for horses and stock. This
boat is particularly adapted for
this trade and can come and go on
any tide. Her freight house is
very large and can accommodate
all the fruit carried without put
ting any in the hold. The inten-
tion Of building a new iron boat
had to be abandoned for the pres
ent owing to the lack of time to
complete her without rushing the
work, and involving considerable
outlay of money, more than will
be necessary if the work is done at
a season when shipbuilding is not
pushed to the extent it now is.
This boat will run as per time
table from Smyrna Landing, leav-
ing Rothweli's Landing one half
hour later and FTleming's Landing
1 1-2 hours later.
