Negroes Should Write Congressman

comes up for vote in the House of
Representatives on October IL, af-
ter which it will go to the Senate
where Senator Tom Connally, Tex

the floor to delay action, according
to the National Association for the

The Association also stated that
a quick vote in the House depends
on what limit is set upon debate.

the NAACP is urging all organiza-

Dining Car
Walters Get
Pay Increase

Approximately three hundred
and fifty $500 Dining Car En-
ployees of the Twin Cities will
benefit by an increase rate of pay
recently demanded by Railroad
arrangements by the Fifteen Non
operating Brotherhoods, according
to Maceo V. Littlejohn, General
Chairman, Local SIC, who attended
the conference of General Chair
men in Chicago, Illinois, last week
for the purpose of outlining the
procedure to be adopted and fol-
lowed.
The request embodies two propo-
sails which will have far reaching
effect upon the working conditions
of Dining Car Employees through
out the entire country and will
greatly strengthen the labor move
ment of Dining Car Employees.
The proposals are for: (D The
Union Shop which makes member
ship in the union a condition prece-
dent to employment within sixty
days after being hired. (2) An in
crease rate of pay of twenty cents
per hour in addition to the already
established basic rates, provided
that no employee will receive less
than seventy cents per hour.
1t is pointed out that railway
traffic is the greatest in the history
Of the railroads, and the revenue is
increasingly higher. This requires
a large increase in the number of
employees in the dining car depart
ment whose basic wages are less
than that paid for common labor by
private industry and government
projects.
Local SIG represents more than
95 per cent of dining car employees
in the Twin Cities and will increase
this number 100 per cent when the
Union Shop has been adopted. 1t
is expected that the cost of men,
bership will be increased by the
Executive Board from the present
eight dollars to a minimum fee of
twenty-five dollars.
Dining Car Employees are affili-
ated with the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees International Alliance
of the AFL, and for the first time
in their history they have been ad-
mitted to membership in the Four
teen Non operating Brotherhoods
on an equal basis, thus making
them the Fifteenth Non operating
Railway group.

Dies Charges
Bethune Is Red
Termed Fantastic

New York-Branding Congress
man Martin Dies charges that
Mrs. Mcleod Bethune, William
Pickens and E. Franklin Frazier
are communists as utterly fantas-
tic and vicious" Walter White,
NAACP executive secretary, told
the Texas congressman in letter
Thursday, September "a, that his
unwarranted attack has supplied
excellent ammunition to the enc
mics of America.
Dies charged 10 federal officials,
including the three distinguished
Negroes, of being leaders of an al
legedly Communist dominated or
ganization. His charges were in
serted in the Congressional Record
for September "a.
Stated Walter White: "Impugn-
ing the loyalty and integrity of
the most beloved and best-known
Negro woman in America would
be an infinite service to the Axis,
if your statement were to be be-
lieved, in destroying the faith OF
Negroes and of colored peoples in
other parts of the world in their
belief that the United States is in
truth fighting a war for democracy,
"Your attack on distinguished
Negroes, with the apparent south
ern attitude that it is safe to do SO
because they are not able to hit
back effectively would be almost
the final crushing blow to the Ne
gro's patriotism if he did not take
into account the source Of these
attacks"
The NAACP executive ridiculed
the idea that Mr.. Pickens or DR..
Frazier could be considered "com-
munists," concluding: 81 am quite
certain that your unwarranted at
tack on the patriotism of these in
dividuals will be exceedingly useful
to Tokyo in its broadcasts to the
one billion colored peoples of the
Orient in efforts to convince them
that they should cast their lot with
Japan instead of with the United
Nations, on the ground that on the
race issue the United States and
Great Britain are insincere."
