Nelson & Alsup
NAACP Nominees
for President
Cudahy Packing Boycott Dropped
AS Firm Gives In

Cudahy Packing Boycott Dropped
AS Firm Gives In
Rev. C. T. R. Nelson, incumbent,
will be opposed by Frank L. Alsup
for the presidency of the st. Paul
branch of the NAACP at it's cleo
ton in November.
Nominations were made at the
branch meeting Tuesday night at
Halle @. Brown House. The meet
ing also nominated John M. Culver
and William Heron for first vice
president and Richard L. Stokes
was nominated unopposed for Sec
ond vice president.
Other nominations included Al
verta Corum for secretary; Hazel
Butler for treasurer.
Forty-three branch members
were nominated for the eighteen
places on the executive board.
The meeting applauded the an
nouncement made by Frank Boyd,
chairman of the Branch's Labor
Committee, that the Cudahy Pack
ing Company in Newport, Mime
sofa, had dropped it's ban against
the hiring of Negro women. The
meeting voted to drop the boycott
against Cudahy goods that was
voted last August. The dropping
of the boycott brings to success
full conclusion a fight that has been
waged for several months by the
PWOC at the Cudahy plant and the
local NAACP branch to get the
packing company to hire Negro
women.
William (BilD Heron led most
spirited discussion on an article
that appeared in the October issue
of The Negro Digest by Mrs. Flea
nor Roosevelt, eff I We're a Negro"
Rev. Clarence T. R. Nelson, presi-
dent of the st. Paul Branch, read a
copy of an open letter that he wrote
to Mrs. Roosevelt, criticizing the
"first lady" for saying that as a
Negro 81 would not do too much de-
handing" In the letter he ad-
mitted that he with millions of
other Negroes regarded her as a
great woman and very liberal in her
words and actions toward the Ne
gro.
Several members defended Mrs
Roosevelt vigorously.
Membership Chairman John M
Culver reported a total of 52S new
members, bringing the membership
up to TIA. Mrs. Gertrude Willis
and her Team No. 1 brought in the
largest number of new member
ships.

Omaha Agrees
to More Relief
for 400 Men
LOCAL SIG SCORES

On October Is, 1913, Thomas C.
Edge, of Chicago, representing the
Hotel and Restaurant Employees
International Alliance, A. F. of L.,
with which all dining car local
unions are affiliated, called gen.
eral chairman, Maceo V. Littlejohn,
of Local SIG, and informed him
that the Omaha Railway Company
had agreed to establish six (6) re-
lief days for all employees on "The
400"
Previously this was enjoyed by
the porters only and is considered
a signal step forward since it was
another question which Local SIG
had to place before the Mediation
Board for settlement with said car
rier - the other being vacations
with pay"
Since the Omaha signed ''vaca-
lions with pay" agreements have
been reached with all the others,
either actual or tentative, the lat
ter meaning only that the Union is
guarding against any technical
tiles.
The present membership of Lo-
cal SIG has increased to 357 or ap-
proximately $3.50 of all dining car
employees in the northwest, and is
being added to further because of
a special dispensation being placed
in a membership drive ending No
vember "a.
Local SIC also has been granted
collective bargaining rights for
private and business car employees
on the Northern Pacific Ry. Co.
with dates agreed upon for negoti-
ating an agreement. When this
agreement is completed it will be
the first of it's kind covering pri-
vate car employees in the United
States.

Nate ErsOff Is ErectOr Days; Salesman Nights

Nate ErSoff is one of these rugged individuals who works as an Free tor at the Victory yard days and Venetian Blind and Fuller Brush salesman nights.
 Nate is well known around the yard as a hard, safe worker. who is always watching out for the safety of others in an area where material is being moved by the Gantry crane.
 He is native of Hartford, but has been established in business in New London for the last ten years. According to Nate, more and more people redecorating their homes to- day are throwing out window shades and buying Venetian blinds they add charm and richness to homes.
 Nate makes Venetian blinds and window shades to order and will gladly furnish estimates free on re- quest. Call New London 7O87.

W" Terrace Opens

Submarine builders have been classed as being of top importance in this wars scheme of things, and men who obtain employment at the Electric Boat Company un- der the new march to essential in- dustry are going to find many things prepared for their comfort.
 The Federal Housing Agency has just opened Victory Terrace, home project for men who will come from out-of-town to aid in building submarines, so vitally needed in the war of attrition.
 Located off Eastern Point Road, Groton, near the Victory Yard of the Electric Boat Company, the new development is a model of modernness and convenience. There are 300 single rooms in three dormitories. Each room contains a bed, chair, and bureau which has desk arrangement Maids will make Uo the beds, and will supply clean towels daily and cRean sheets and pillow cases twice weekly. Shower rooms are located in the dormitorieS, and they have hot wa ter supplied by individual heating units.
 The cost per man is $5 week, and when it is explained what is received for that amount. 1t can readily be seen that Victory Ter race will be of particular value for its Electric Boat Company resi- dents when they are off their jobs.
 Said F. Keith Warner, manager for the various housing projects in the area:
 We've gone all out for the shipyard worker, and he really has something"
 Persons can readily see for themselves at the official opening dance and buffet supper which will be held on the evening of Sept. 10.
 One of the principal points is Moral building, which has three large rooms for recreation and en- tertainment. The set-up calls for pool tables, card tables and com fortable furniture where men may relax and read. The largest room will be used for dances. The build ing also contains offices, and canteen for the sale of cigars, cig- arettes and soft drinks.
 Another outstanding feature is the project hospital. It has indi- vidual rooms and ward rooms. There will be nurse on duty at all times. Anyone reporting sick will be examined and put to bed, and if necessary a physician will be called. No person may remain in the hospital for more than 48 hours without being attended by

Wayne Rathbun and Wife Barely Escape Drowning

Wayne Rathbun, outside machin- ist in the main yard, and his wife, Jane, of Waterford, had narrow escape from drowning last week at Lake Winnepesaukee, N. H.
 It seems that MT. and Mrs. Rath- bun decided to go for short canoe ride while it was still calm, but after they were out about two miles from land, a squall came up and upset the canoe. They tried to right the canoe, but were unsuc- ceSsful due to the huge waves.
 After about an hour and a half's struggle, they were finally rescued by some men in motor boats who were sent out after word was re- ceived from pilot who happened to be cruising around at the time.
 Mrs. Rathbun escaped with minor injuries suffered from the canoe hitting against her, but her husband, plus minor bruises. also suffered Sprained back while try ing to right the canoe.
 After being carried to a cabin along shore, and receiving artificial respiration. they were told to stay there for 48 hours and then come right home.
 MT Rathbun has returned to work and neither he nor the missus seems to have suffered any i'll ef- fects. except the numerous thrills which they encountered

 The cafeteria is large and will cater to persons residing on the project and other war workers.
 Ten-thousand meals can be served daily from the cafeteria kitchen, which is appointed in hotel style.
 The cafeteria began business on August 20th, and two employees of the Electric Boat Company who were early registrants as residents of the Terrace were the first cus- toners. They are John Lappert. 37. of West Haven, Conn, and Oscar Perra, 45, of CharleStoWn, N H. Both are employed as pipefitters in the Victory Yard.
 Victory Terrace is, as has been pointed out, perfect place for shipyard workers to reside, and it will be expanded even further. MT. Warner said that 1t is planned to install tennis courts, and a place will be made available for soft ball games.
 In. addition to Victory Terrace, there are dormitories in Deane Street, Groton, which have 368 double and single units, with rates
