Mediators Submit
Report on Rail Wage
Dispute 10 President

The emergency board, which for
several months has been consid-
ering the demand of the five oper-
ating railroad brotherhoods for a
80 per cent wage increase, Yesterday
filed its report with President
Roosevelt. The contents were with
held for the present.
Approximately half million
workers are involved. The board
took over the case after the medi-
alton processes provided by the Rail-
way Labor Act had failed to settle
the wage dispute which has been
in progress for more than a year.
At the head of the board is Chief
Justice Walter P. Stacy of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina.
and his associates are 1. L. Sharf-
man, head of the department of
economics of the University of
Michigan, and Frank M. Swacker
of New York.

ers for 20-cent hourly increase,
made an award of cents hourly
which was denied by Economic
Sterilization Director Vinson. who
said that they had already received
the maximum increase allowable
under the Little Steel" formula in
a raise granted early in 1912.
The operating brotherhoods re-
ceived an increase at the same time
which was estimated as amounting
to about II per cent, and on that
basis, the board reporting yester-
day could have recommended a
slight increase as the Little Steel"
formula permits IS per cent wage

ary l, 1941.

Protest to Eastman.
In letter to Joseph B. Eastman,
director of the Office of Defense
Transportation, the labor group
said wages and working conditions
are "the basic reasons why more
than 100000 workers were hired
by the railroads during recent r.
month period, with only net gain
in total employment of less than
50,000.'

representing members of the non.
operating unions, stated it's opinions

Nearly one half of the total
number of persons engaged in rail-
way employment still receive wage
rates of less than 10 cents an hour, u
the letter said. Large numbers
are paid less than so cents an hour,
Highly skilled journeymen mechan-
les are being paid wage rates from
25 to so cents an hour less than
the generally prevailing level of
wages for such occupations, and
even less than the rate generally
in effect for so-called common
labor"
The labor executives said the rail-
road manpower crisis cannot be
met by imported labor, use of wal
prisoners, or substitution Of women
workers where the services of men
are required"
Retaining the necessary expert

letter continued, "is and will be
impossible under presently exist

1.-THE STRONG MEN GIT
STRONGER"
STERLING BROWN

The United States is preparing to
put 100000 men in its armed
forces. They will be the pick of
American manhood. physically
sound and mentally alert. They
will receive a course Of training,
the like of which has never before
been given to American soldiers.
They will be trained to undergo
extraordinary hardship, to master
a hundred different ways of killing
othe men-...by rifle and machine
gun fire, by hand grenades by
planting mines, by bayonet, and
knife thrustS, by clubbing and
strangulation. They are going to
be trained to face death in a thou
sand horrible forms and to keep
going. They will be tough men
prepared to fight at the drop Of
the hat in Africa or Asia, or Eur
ope, under the burning rays Of the
equatoial sun or the icy blasts Of
he arctic circle.
These r the kinds of men who
have conquered the world, who
drove the Indian from his hunting
grounds in North America and
South America, and who crushed
the native peoples of Africa and
India, and Australia, and the Is
lands of the Sea and put them to
work SO that they, their conquer
ors, could take gold and silver and
precious stones and timber and ev-
cry other form of natural wealth
back to their distant homelands.
These are some OF us who say:
I'VE should worry if we are no.
permitted to fight. Let the white
folks do the fighting if they want
90. Let them pay for their racial
and color prejudice, For every
colored boy who doesn't have to
fight. q white boy must fight and
perhaps die"
This doesn't make sense.
We want complete participation
in this war as Americans. We are
opposed to the Jim Grow Army be.

INEQUALITIES OF
MINORITY GROUPS,
CANNOT Be IGNORED
Saws Dubois

Under the sponsorship of the
Women's Defense Club, which was
organized to encourage the pur-
chase Of war Stamps and bonds,
a lecture by the noted lecturer and
author, DR.. w. E. B. Dubois was
held before an audience of approx
imately four hundred persons at
the Pilgrim Baptist Church Sun
day afternoon.
DR.. DuBoise told his %appreciat-
i've audience that the second world
war is in many ways a race war
and that the problems of race in
equality cannot be ignored.
War has been constant for 40
years" he said. why didn't we
recognize it? Because we believ-
ed the series Of wars were hammer
ing a new sort of order, a finer
life.
"Our whole teaching was that a
small part Of the world was gett-
ing a great uplft and benefit at
the expense Of the majority. Then
came the first world war, a ire
mendous jolt"
He pointed out France was fac
ed with the race problem after
bringing in hundreds Of thousands
Of Sengalese to act as shock troops
in the first world war. England
had it's Indian troops The United
States still hadn't quite decided
the status of its Negroes in the
armed services.
Social problems arise, he said,
when colored copper miners in the
Belgian Congo work at 80 cents a
day and whites in Montana mines
at IS to SO a day.
4 suspect that Mr.. Churchill
spends as much for sigars in one
month as an Indian family SPENDS
in one year"
A world traveller. DR.. Dubois is
head OF the Atlanta, Ga, univers-
ity's department of Sociology.
on Monday he conducted a con
sumer's cooperative meeting at the
YWCA al 2 d. m. and at s d no. ne
held a second conference at the

The net proceeds of the lecture

We know that if given the train

are being trained. And we want
to see them get their chance on
the battle front, wherever the bat

many will be wounded and MAIN

that some will return
And those who return will be
tough men, for they will have en-.

battle and looked with u~nblinking

any time in its history Americas

HASTE VICE PRESIDENT;
OTHERS ON BOARD

CHICAGO. March 2 ANP) Judge
William HASTE was enc of seven
vice presidents chosen by the Ma
tional Lawyers guild at the term
ination of a three day convention
during which the guild went on
ercord for the complete inegtra-
ton of Negroes into all phases Of
our national life, urged abolition
Of the poll tax and the white pri-
mary an dthe continuance and
strengthening of the FEPC and
condemned all discriminatory prac-
tees and segregation in the armed
forces and in industry. A half
dozen prominent Negro lawyers
from various parts of the country
were named to the national execu-
tive board.
Formed seven years ago, the
guild, contrary to the policies Of
the American Bar association and
other national Organizations Of at
torneys, has always admitted Ne
groes to its ranks and has consist
emily spoken against Jim Crow.
One of the points made by Robert
w Kenny, California attorney gen
eral and president of the guild, in
his presidential address. was that
all organizations of attorneys in
dictate their support Of democracy
by erasing color bars in their con
stitutions. Negro delegates to the
convention included: Sidney Jones,
Euclid L. Taylor and Earl B. Die
kerson OF Chicago; Elvin Daven-
port, LeBron Simmons of Detroit.
Thurgood Marshall Of New York
and Loren Miller of Los Angeles.
In its resolution c~ondemning
dicirimn
discrimination against Negroes
an dother minority groups the
guild was emphatic in calling for
the gnting Of commissions to Ne
gro lawyers in the offices of the
judge advocate general and the
provost marshal and for their EN-
pigment in all ranches of the gov
