Redcaps Essential
Prexy Tells VINO

WASHINGTON-(ANP) - Pres
ident Willard S, Townsend of the
United Transport Service Employees
association told the War Manpower
commission that red caps and sta
ton porters are just as essential as
train and sleeping car porters, and
for purposes OF compliance with
the work or fight order, should
be considered just as deferable.
He made his complaint TO Fowler
V. Harper. deputy chairman OF the
commission. in an hour-long con-
ference last Tuesday The labor
leader was accompanied by George
Weaver. secretary OF the CLOS anti
discrimination committee.
Townsend also laid down the
complaint that in recent meeting
in Chicago of representatives Of
railway labor organizations, the %
brotherhoods which bar Negroes
from membership were invited but
that the two Negro brotherhoods
had been excluded. It was at this
meeting. he said, that Harry Frazier
of the Brotherhood of Railway Con-
ductors was elected to represent the
unions on the labor-managemen
committee OF the VINO.
Harper assured Townsend that
his request for a Qualification" of
the order would be duly considered.
The UTSEA head had explained
that the failure of redcaps to fully
understand the order was causing
chaos and confusion" among the
men.
He said that many Of them die not
know whether to change their Jobs
for others more clearly understood
to be essential, or to remain where
they are. He pointed out that the
railroads are taking advantage OF
this situation and are permitting
vacancies caused by transfers and
the draft to 60 untitled. They are
hiding between the screen Of a
'manpower shortage" Townsend
said. And
Townsend saw an ominous trend
here on the part of the railroads to
accustom the travelling public to
doing without the service, so that
after the war it may be dispensed
with possibly, thereby relieving the
companies of complying with the
fair labor standards act involving
minimum wages and hours.
Harper admitted that there was
some ambiguity" in the order
which did not make clear the va
rious types OF porters, and said he
would see what could be done to
clarity the matter.

complaint, the manpower official
said that the meeting referred to
was hastily called and that there
was no intent TO ignore the UTSEA
or the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters. He did not believe, how
ever, that the presence of a repre-
sentative from either OF these two
unions would have Influenced the
selection OF Frazier. but Townsend
was quick to point out that while
that may have been so, it is highly
desirable that Negroes should be
permitted to participate more wide
ly in matters that actually affect
them.
