His attentions at this time were
not confined to figures of the un-

the case of Richard Whitney

family and former president of
the New York Stock Exchange.
Upon discovery of several defal-

pleaded guilty to grand larceny
and was sentenced TO 5 TO 10
years in Sing Sing.

that he could be merciful, too,

him TO run for governor. BY that

leader Jimmie Hines. "
After 30 years in politics. Hines
had become the most powerful
leader in Tammany. He had been
an important figure in the Demo-

and had thrown all his influence
behind Franklin y Roosevelt

NEW YORK - Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt said recently that Rep
resentative Charles Mckenzie,
Democrat, Louisiana, who de-
plored activities at the new Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations
sponsored canteen for both white
and Negro service men in Wash
ington, apparently was misin-
formed when he condemned the
canteen.
Mrs. Roosevelt was present at
the ceremonies opening the can
teen which is operated by the G.
l. o. Washington Industrial
Union Council.
Mckenzie placed newspaper ae-
counts of the opening in The
Congressional Record and asked:
"How can anyone be party
to encouraging white girls into
the arms of Negro soldiers at

Mrs. Roosevelt said that the
congressman was apparently UNI
aware of the nature of the spon-
soring organization.

composed of both white and Ne
gro members" she said. land
naturally, if whites and Negroes
work together, their union, when
it sponsors a canteen, cannot cut
out one group of its members.

choose their own friends"
Hostesses at the eanteen. Mrs.
Roosevelt said, were white and
Negro girls who are workers and
members of unions having both
white and Negro members.

In Great Britain alone we have

Nearly all of these men are en-
gagged in building air fields, maxi

Each of these men is an unsung

Negro soldier in the battle of Sa-
lerno. who brought his truck
through with much needed am
munition for the artillery, with
his left arm shot away by shell.
This Negro soldier jumped out of
his truck, saluted the command
ing officer, saying he hoped he
had gotten back in time. He
dropped dead as he finished re-
porting.
If that is not enough to make

CHICAGO-The CLIO, through
its railroad affiliate. the United
Transport Service Employees OF
America, gained its greatest vic
tory and firmly established itself
in the railroad industry this
week when the UTSEA-CIA COM
pleted negotiations with more
than SO railroad companies call
ing for a lie wage increase and
several million dollars in retro
active pay for its $4,000 dining
car employees, red caps, station
ushers, Pullman laundry workers
and train porters.
The major aspect, aside from
the wage increase, came in the
form of a complete victory over
the Jim crow Is Incorporating
brotherhoods who had strenuous
ly sought to isolate the UTSEA-
CLIO wage demands before and
during the period of governn emit
al operation of railroads.
CIO SENTIMENT STRONG
The tide of CIO sentiment in
the railroad industry is on the
increase everywhere and among
numerous crafts and classified
lions. The fear of a general
revolt towards the Clio has leit
certain railroad brotherhoods
panic stricken and more time has
been spent by these leaders of
jim-erow unionism seeking to de-
stroy every semblanee of CIO
sentiment within their organiza
tional borders than has been
spent in improving conditions
among their own restricted mem
bership.
Today, the more conservative
areas of this restricted member
ship are in turmoil over their
problems and even the old prom
Use of white superiority on the
part of the brotherhood leaders
has not been able to stem the
tide towards progressive union
ism in the railroad industry.
High prices, initiation and low
wages are completely ignorant of
the difference between inferior"
and superior" races of mankind.
A classic example of this fact is
that today approximately 1910
of UTsEA-CIO membership is
of white railroad work
ers who are far more interested
in their common security than in
the color of their skin, union

UNCOMFORTABLE
In discussing the case, Leibo-

a case "where the only testi-
mony against the man is the un-
corroborated story of a woman"
He remarked that vigilance must
be exercised in such cases, es-
pecially where tn woman is "of
loose character" Then he went
on:
Now, if this woman's name
were changed to Victoria Price
