were being kicked around, Negroes
were denied jobs on government
work and war contracts, it was
Randolph who conceived the idea
Of calling the attention of the Pres

on Washington, who caused Roose-

work throughout the country.

that Randolph fresh from college,
organized the Pullman Porters, a
group of underpaid and least res

employees, land 1 know because 1

Today the porters are enjoying the
fruits of Randolph's labor. He had
a hard time, he was intimidated,
threatened and at one time offered
a large sum of money to quit or
ganizing these porters but TO no

was planned according to a story
told to me. A group of wealthy
white men had ordered some Ne

go to a certain flat and when Ran

photographers were to take pictur-
