reply from agreeing to compliance.
Two other roads, the Pennsylvania
and New York Central, are negotf-
ating with the committee as to a
plan for compliance. No announce
ment on the results of this negotia-
ton had been made up to press
time this week.
The railroads refusing to comply
with FEPC orders were: Atlantic
Coast Line, Atlanta Joint Termin-
ais, Central of Georgia, Georgia
Railroad, Jacksonville Terminal,
Louisville and Nashville, Norfolk
and Southern, Frisco, Seaboard,
Southern, Chesapeake and Ohio,
Gulf, Mobile and Ohio, Norfolk and
Western, Illinois Central, Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley, and Gulf
and Ship Island.

race, creed or nationality" The
FEPC chairman pointed out in his
statement that, "The question of
preventing Negro railroad workers
from being used by the carriers at
their top skills is a war problem of
the first order"
He said evidence showed a short
age of more than $50 firemen on
American railroads at a time when
hundreds of Negro firemen were
refused employment. Contained in
the Ross statement is the hint that
the FEPC might be willing to set
tie the problem of railroad dis
elimination for something less than
complete justice for Negro people,
when it declares: "The plain fact is
that this issue (that of using Ne
groes as engineers and conductors)
necessarily covered because COM
plants were received and no rebuff
tai offered, is dormant and could
remain so if the railroads offer JUS
tice to Negro railroad men in the
classifcations where reason and
public policy both urge it. Ger
tainly it is not the part of candor
to seize upon the most delicate is
sue in order to avoid the many basic
problems squarely placed before the
railroads"
Calling the attention to the fact
that Railroad Administrator Nc
Adoo, in 1918, equalized the pay of
Negro and white railroad workers,
GAS an act of simple justice" the
statement declared: "The FEPC
believes that the granting of over
due rights to Negro railroad men,
far from being a cause for disorder,
could be so managed as to improve
service and raise the morale of tens
of thousands of Negroes who have
their own stake in winning this war
quickly"

Washington. - Sixteen railroad
and terminal companies in the
Southeastern Carriers conference
this week fatty refused to comply
with the directives of the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice ordering them to end
all forms of jim-crow practices in
the employment of Negro railroad
workers.
The refusal was contained in a
letter sent the committee Monday
by representatives of these roads
and terminals in response to COM
mittee directives issued to them on
November 10.
Raise Doubt of Legal Power
The letter declared that the COM
mittee had no legal power to issue
its directives and that they refused
to comply with the committees di-
receives because to do so "would
most gravely and irreparably i'm
pair the whole war effort of the
country"
Said the letter: "Any attempt on
their part (the railroads') to COM
ply with those directives, for in
stance to promote Negroes to To-
connective engineers or train con-
ductors, would inevitably disrupt
their present peaceful and co-opera-
tive relations with their employees,
would antagonize the travelling and
shipping public served by them,
would substitute conditions of
chaos for present conditions of har-
mony, would result in stoppages of
transportation, and would most
gravely and irreparably impair the
whole war effort of the country"
Washington, D. c. - Mem
bers of Congress, both houses,
were confronted with the en-
plOyment controversy involving
the Presidents Committee on
Fair Employment Practices
and the railroads Monday,
when each member received a
letter from the Southeastern
Conference of Railroads, with
a demand that the case of the
railroads be placed in the Con-
gressiOnal Record.
This action on the part of the
railroads followed the publica-
ton of a full-page advertise
ment in several daily news
papers directing national at
tentiOn to the issue. This ad-
vertisement was republished
in the Record.
The railroads demand that
the current press release sum-
marizing their answer to
FEPC, the summary of the
findings of the hearings in
September and the statement
of the position of the railroads,
as made at the hearings by
Sidney Alderman, railroad
counsel, be spread upon the
Record.
The 16 railroads claimed that the
directives of the FEPC interfere
with their duties not to interfere
with the labor organizations of
their employees as defined under
the Railway Labor Act. ut is ut
terly unrealistic," states their let
ter, "that these railroads and their
employees can agree to comply
with the breadth of your directives
or that problems of such delicacy,
controlled and governed by a spe-
cial act of Congress, can be solved

Lynn Says:

How to Save Ration Points: If
your old recipes call for tomato
juice, tomato soup and other
canned tomatoes, substitute
brown gravy. In most cases, it
will work quite well.
Substitute fresh fruits for
canned and dried fruits in des-
serts and buy heavily of citrus
fruits. Serve them sectioned or
sliced. Use seasonal fruits gen.
erously, as applesauce and rhu-
barb. IS
Store any excess water from
cooked vegetables, and have it
well covered when stored. Use
in soups, gravies and stews.
When cookie recipes call for
dried fruits, omit them OF use
them sparingly.
Omit chill sauce, catsup and
chow chow from menus Use
them for seasoning foods such as
meat when cooking or for sand
wiches when necessary.

A Good Start

A business man tells of a friend
who said to him one day: "Life
well, it's just not worth living
it's just one trouble after another.
But I'm going to try out a new
scheme I've just engaged a
man, and whenever I have a wor-
ry, I'm going to pass it on to him
and he'll have to take care of it. /"
That's good idea," said the
other. ''What are you going to
pay him?"
"a thousand a year"
"What's that? You complain of
bad trade, and pay man thou
sand a year to take care of your
worries. Where are you going to
get the money!" aa
"Well," said the friend, II reck-
on that's going to be his first
worry"

Table Decorations
If your food is simpler this year,
don't feel that your table need lack
festivity suitable for the Easter oc-
casion. In many Of your gardens
daffodils or jonquils and tulips will
be out-ready and waiting to do
their incest for your Easter dinner.
An effective centerpiece can be
made from as few as half dozen
daffodils with their own green To-
liage in a shallow bowl. Have ta-
BILE accessories harmonic with this
color scheme by using a pale yellow
or white cloth with napkins.
II your taste-or your garden runs
to tulips, try deep red tulips with
white snapdragons.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Soldier Protests
- q. 800
June q, 1913


Dear Editor:
AS a member of the nations
armed forces, would like to add
my protest DO the recent coal
strikes. In each paper we receive
from home the front page is al
ways covered with United Mine
Workers again strike.
myself and many others would
love to see John L. Lewis and his
United Mine Workers over here.
Let them see where our brothers
have given their lives, others in
hospitals suffering of serious
wounds received in battle fighting
for our country. Then know their
eyes would open up and realize
what these strikes mean to US on
the front. These very strikes lead
to war industry plants; take for in
stance, one of these plants maybe
is being held up because they have
no coal, then how are US boys on
the front going to get fighting ma
terial. We all realize the cost of
living is high and you want in
crease in pay. But you still see
what we have left behind, go to the
movies when you want 10, go
swimming and lying around on the
beaches on week-ends, all this we
have given up to come to the front
and fight for our country.
We have smashed many a line
once held by the Naxis, many of us
giving our lives, still a lot who will
never see home again, but they will
die smiling for they know our
country will stay free.
Now Mr.. Lewis and your mine
workers. You all have friends or
maybe sons or even brothers who
have given their lives for their
country, some suffering of wounds
received in battle, clenching their
hands in pain as they die. Never
docs doctor or nurse give up their
duties of saving maybe your son or
friends life for less hours and
more money. We know you have
not seen any of this, He'll no, but
we did.
Now all of you back nome must
realize this is war and give us all
your help; and / pray to God you
will.
