PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Me and some fellows got
to talking about how good Negro
trade weeks was being talked about,
while yet large percent of the
down town workers kept on going
to the Bus station for dinner. And
then we started figuring OUT what
could be stronger than the slogan
of Negro Trade Week to keep on
pulling them folks away from all
of the Negro owned and operated
cafes along the cid stroll.
And then as we ordered another
bottle of our tavorite beer to
chase out cat fish, somebody said
maybe 1t was Just question of
DIETETIC. Then one fellow ups
and tells how he's tried to eat for
so long in OUR cafes. but how
he just gave up one day when he
ordered dinner and the waitress,
with a frown on her face, brought
him out plate with spaghetti
cooked with Pig Tails, Butterbeans~
mashed white potatoes and cand-
led yamS all in one.
AS one of the fellows said he
just couldn't keep on and on eat
ing in places where there might
some time be a little difference in
what he sees, but the taste and
smell is the same every day. Yes.
sir. my friends there's such
thing as COMMERCIAL DIETE-
TICS. . It's about how to fix
foods, and mixed foods with proper
respects for the humane taste and
digestive organs q. and Negro
Trade Week is no substitute for
that.

Red Caps Forced to Join Union
Barring Them, Seek Court Aid
RocioI Issue Draws Interest to Decision
By National Mediation Board

"If this Interpretation of the Rail-
way Labor Act prevails, the plight
of the Negro in the interstate rail-
way labor field is hopeless"
With this declaration, the United
Transport Service Employees of
America and representatives of As
'red caps" employed by the st. Paul
Depot Co., have asked the Supreme
Court to reconsider decision of
December 6, which had the effect
of forcing the red caps to accept
the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks (AFL) as their
bargaining agent, although their
race bars them from membership
in the union.
The court, under ordinary circum-
stances, may be expected to act on
the petition without delay. The case
is attracting additional interest be-
cause the racial issue also has come
to the fore on railroads in the South.
where the Fair Employment Prac-
tices Committee is seeking to force
the carriers to grant Negroes equal
employment opportunities with
white personnel.
Previous Case Cited.
A broad grant of authority which
the Supreme Court gave the Ma
tional Mediation Board in entirely
unrelated litigation, is the back
ground for the current proceedings.
In passing on a jurisdictional dis
pute between the Switchmen's Union
and the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen on the New York Central,
which had been carried to the
Federal courts after Mediation
Board decision favoring the train
men, the Supreme Court, declining
to pass on the merits of the case, said
that we are of the opinion that the
District Court did not have the
power to review the action of the
National Mediation Board" which
issued certificate of representation
ito the trainmen
In the 4-to-3 decision read by
Justice Douglas-Justices Black and
Rutledge did not participate-the
court said Congress had not ex-
pressly authorized judicial review"
of representation findings by the
board. and this silence was con-
strued as barring jurisdiction by
the courts. Justices Reed, Roberts
and Jackson dissented.
In the meantime, the "red-cap"
case had reached the Supreme
Court, after the st. Paul group had
won successive victories in District
Court here and the United States
Court of Appeals, which set aside
Mediation Board ruling that the
baggage must be repre-
sented by the AFL union rather
than by the independent United
Transport Service Employees, which
they had chosen.
In one-sentence per curiam
opinion, the Supreme Court reversed
the lower courts and upheld the
findings of the Mediation Board,
quoting as authority the decision in
the New York Central litigation.
The record in the case shows that
the red caps" or porters. were not
considered by the St. Paul Depot Co.

Peculiar Taste in Water
To Clear Up in "a Hours

A peculiar taste in water which
residents of several parts of the
Northwest section of the city have
complained of is expected to clear up
in the next "a hours, it was said
at the District Water Division last
night.
1t was pointed out that the rain
would wash away the woody sub
stance in the water. which, it was
said, had affected the taste. 1t was
emphasized that the water was alb
solutely harmless regardless of the
taste.
l. Meanwhile, the Commissioners
committee on water conservation
met yesterday to draw up plans for
a program to eliminate waste Of
water. 1t was emphasized that there
was no impending water shortage
at this season and that a reduction
in use below the volume required
for the maintenance of proper
health standards was not desirable.
The committee was set up because
the War Production Board declared
that curtailment of water consump-
ton would result in direct saving
in fuel, electricity, chemicals and
manpower needed for war.
