Trainmen

On December Is, l94l, an agree
ment was signed by the Trainmen,
Bfakemen, Porters Union with
headquarters in Oklatona City,
Okla, for 1877 Brakemen and Port
ers ON the Frisco Railroad. | am
proud to say that this agreement
was signed by employee represen-
tatives, l.. II. Hoyle, general
chairman, Vernon c. Coffey, ma
5ional representative, and Steve
Bennett, general president.
Each of the 1877 men affected did
receive Sl57.80 per month instead
of $4,000 for $500 miles monthly,
and additional pay for every mile
in excess of $500 miles.
At recent meeting at the Pas
60 YMCA at Kansas City, Feb.
ruary Y, with brakemen-po rters
present. who represented the Fris-
co. Missouri Pacific and Santa Fee
Railroad companies, vital changes
were made in the status Of the or
carnations title. 1t was agreed
that future title of the organiza-
ton will be brotherhood of Train
men, Brakemen-P orters."
The body was successful in
bringing together the united eff
fort Of the craftmen, with l.. w.

the duty of obedience to all right
full authority. hut resent the idea
of subiee lion.
People the world over that have
been under the domination Of
oyerlords, and who have suffered
from oppression, are now demand
ing consideration Of their right to
be even as other freemcn. 1t all
boils down to a question of now or
never. |. seems somewhat dill
cult for Americans of certain
ilk to understand that wars bring
about social changes, The move
ment toward freedom Nom want
and from economic and social
fears, with all its fluctuations
and variations, is undoubtedly one
Of the memorable facts of modern
society.
We consider it about time our
government pledged itself to the
specific obligations placed upon 1t
by constitutional law. We de
mand that the precepts of Demo-
cracy be put into practice, Our
greatest desire is that the govern
ment prohibit all un-ethical poll
teal practices, and that thu Me-
gro's civil right to vote becomes
mandatory.
This war started with a lot of
untitled promises and feel that
it should end with the fulfillment
of all these fugitive promises.

they were not against the bus route,
