the Brotherhood negotiated with

So so CLAUSES
A series of contracts signed by
the Brotherhood with the most
important carriers contained $50
5O' clauses. These stated that the
roads would replace Negroes with
whites until both groups had equal
representation. This was the first
steps taken to actually force the
companies to remove Negro fire.
men from employment.
In the most recent agreement.
that signed with the Southern
Carriers Conference Committee
representing Is railroads, the lily
white Brotherhood introduced
modification Of the $3.50 ruling
which will, unless revoked, have
disastrous consequences for the
Negroes.
ION each railroad party hereto"
the agreement states. ''the propor-
ton Of -promotable firemen
and helpers on other than steam
power shall not exceed so per cent
in each class Of service established
as such or each individual car
rlers." F1uther it was agreed that
no new employees would be hired
before the so per cent proportion
were reached unless they had
"promctable" status. No Negro
firemen are 'promotable,' for, to
have that status, firemen must
be eligible to become an engineer,
an occupation from which Negroes
are rigidly excluded.
The words other than steam
power" are vital, since under
ruling of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in 1887 engines on a
majority of the roads must be
Dieselized Or stokerized by 1913.
The agreement is Sc worded that
the reduction of Negro personnel
to one per cent would not be a
violation of it, The agreement
does not say that the proportion of
Negro firemen shall be so per cent,
but that ii shall not exceed that
percentage. There is also a proyi-
sion stipulating that all vacancies
must be filled by promotable
{white) men.
Thus the forced introduction of
Diesel engines will result in the to-
tai displacement OF Negro firemen
on Southern roads unless the union
agreemetS are successfully Chal-
lepged. This is the purpose and aim
OF the Negro firemen's committee
which is headed by A. Philip Ran
delphi. with B. F.. McIaurin, field
organizer.
The court actions, Stevens re-
vealed, will be fought ON the basis
that the agreements are unconsti-
