in this locality. and the makeup OF
the official family emphasizes clear
ly that no one organization domin-
ates the new group.
THE OFFICERS
In the nine member executive
board. the groups represented are
worthy Of repetition. The presi-
dent. Benjamin O'Rourk. is Re-
publican by choice. but in this in
stance is for labor and all its recent
gains. Ben Is legislative chairman
for the Railroad Brotherhoods. and
is widely known by all unionists in
this section.
The co-chairman, Mrs. Sylvia Por-
ter, known TO many citizens as
"Sib," has been active politically
for many years. She was active
in the Young Republican group of
Frostburg serving as chairman of
such organization. She has many
friends in the Republican party,
and leadership of the women's divi-
sion of this new organization is
sure TO give added impetus in her
chosen field. "Sib" is a member Of
Textile Workers Local 1874.
William J. Jones. member OF
Boilermakers. and named vice-chair-
man. has been active in labor cir
cles for many years. Very few boys
around Trades Council Hall recall
when Bill first deposited his Gre
dentials as a delegate. Bill has al
ways advocated labor's active par
ticipation in politics, and says the
new group is an answer TO all his
preachings for past twenty years.
The secretary of the organization,

remarks Mr.. Dundon enunciated

LEGAL WAY
However there is a legal way to
accomplish this same objective.
The Smith-Connolly Act does not
prohibit individuals from forming
political unit of their own. This
is the foundation Of the new Citi.

Membership is open TO all people,
irrespective of organization or par

THE Reverend E. P. Murchisonv P.

signal victory in compelling the ILL
nois Central to permit Negro passen-

months Negro passengers were not
permitted to board h e train even
though coaches were provided for
whites. Negro passengers were fore
ed to wait and ride in an extra bag
gage and mail train that carried two
dirty coaches for the heaven Negro
passenger traffice.
"This extra baggage train carried
no diner nor other equipment that
the regular train carried. Negro pas
sengers were forced to ride as long as
% hours without food because there
was no diner nor even butcher service
available. Negro passengers were
further handicapped because the bag
gage and mail train was delayed with
long stops. Negro passengers would
often miss connections that white pas
I sengers would make on the first train
because the jim crow train would ar
rive as much as two hours later than

Stop GrOusing
By Ruth Taylor

Those who were so confident when
Italy was invaded, that the war was
all over but the shouting, have had a
rude awakening. We still have a
long way to go. The war is not yet
won, nor will it be until the final and
complete surrender.
We mus not underestimate the
enemy nor his strength. And we
must not overlook the fact - which
was proven for us at Stalingrad-
that the man with his back to the
wall is the one who fights the hardest.
They still pay off on the horse that
finishes first. The war isn't over yet
and now is not the time to waste
jockeying for position. We can't af-
ford to fritter away energy on people
who won't cooperate. We've all got
to fight and work and sacrifice to-
gether.

the cost of war and to attribute to
