BY Homer c. Butler

Just as civilized peoples, thru
their various governments have
stilyen to bring a certain degree
ct elevation and enlightment to So
called uneivilized or harbarous
people in efforts to increase their
opportunities for enjoyment. sc
organized wage earners speak and
act for the unorganized workers.
Please, dining car workers who
are accepting all the benfits CT
organized dining workers who are
meeting any and all requirements,
OF our organization to make con.
dltions better, and wages higher
Take note. Forget your love for
the boss, because the boss loves
only Lis investments, not you.
Forget your ideas too, that if any
enc else receives the benefits, you
will too. And in the meantime
you arn't paying one cent to car
ry on a great cause. While it is
true that any legislative enact
ments secured for the alienation
Of conditions, OF the establish
ment of rights and freedoms for
working people, affects both the
organized and the unorganized
workers, it is equally true that
the power vested hy our being
organized provides for policing
these laws that denied workers
who remain unorgarized. 1t be
comes necessary, in order that
We may retain certain legal bene-
fits for ourselves even if we were
not moved by humane considera-
ton, that we insist that the same
yardstick be made to apply to all
wage earners when we urge, even
mildly insist that all workers
must organize, their efforts is not
alone to strengthen our own move
ment but to make it possible for
other workers to do their own
policing thus relieving the labor
movement Of certain responsible
ties, For. it be comes obvious
to the most causual students of
human affairs, unorganized work
ers "ride on the shoulders" of
the organized labor movement.
Just in the same way that a
great number of Negro employ
ees Of all railroad classifications

and step-sister wrote and told him
a lot Of lies on me. Ny step
