announced that the railroad hearing
had been rescheduled for Sept. Is,
l6 and II. More recently it decided
10 add another day.
This isn't the first hearing the
committee has held by long shot
They've been around for two years
now, north, east, south and west.
FEPC has tried TO do the job cut
out for it by the President. No mat
ter what is said about its tactics
some diligent, some dilatory-it is
reasonable to presume that its heart
is in the right place.
Adequate preparation has been
made to make certain that the cause
OF democracy shall prevail in this
instance. AT this writing, one COM
pany has already called it quits
. There is a possibility that one or
two others may do likewise. But
indeed, when counsel for both sides
confront each other on Sept. Is. il
will be a meeting of the high cost
OF living on the one hand as rep
resented by the expensive counsel
OF the railroads, and the low cost
OF service and devotion TO prin-
ciple on the other.

one end that McNutt should be
made a miserable man for his act.
Indeed, they succeeded.
For months after nothing hap

jurisdiction of the committee for
investigation.
Collected Factuzl Data r
The FEPC did not say then, al
least not publicly. that il had been
shown a deep point by the provi-
sional committee. but the latter
went TO work collecting factual data
10 substantiste their claims for q
more detailed presentation it, as and
when the occasion arose. II is prob
able that the FEPC must have given
them the nod
Came Sept 20, 1912, and the then
FEPC chairman, DR.. Malcolm S.
MacLean, announced to all and SUM-
dry that the committee intended TO
hold public hearing into the charges
of discrimination by certain rail-
roads. and that the dates had been
set for Dec. 7. and 9.
The committee. it seems had re-
ceved stack OF complaints from
individuals and organizations,
among the latter OF which were the
provisional committee, Information
al Association OF Railway Employees,
Association OF Colored Railway
Trainmen and Locomotive Firemen,
Inc, International Brotherhood OF
Firemcn. Oilers. Helpers, Round
house snd Railway Shop laborers,
the National Urban league and the
N.AACP.
Naturally. this didn't set right
with the railroads, but apparently
they were willing TO take their
chances. or maybe they thought they
could bes, the rap anyway. AS the
time approached, the committee
made quick decision that the
hearing ought 10 be postponed The
dates were reset for Jan. IS, &c
and 81, 1913
