Boyd, although not continuously

been active since 1907 IN the strug-
giles Of his fellow employees to bet

would make few advances as mem
bers OF a company union. He was
active that year IN the formation Of
the Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car

organizer for the new union.

JUSTICE DEPT. WILL NOT
PROSECUTE IN KILLING
OF SOLDIER

New York-Tom Q. Clark, assist
ant United States Attorney General,
has advised the NAACP that no &C
ton will be taken by the Depart
ment Of Justice in the killing Of Pri-
vate Edward Green on Carch Il, 1914
BY a bus driver IN Alexandria, La
The facts in the case show that
Private Green was deliberately shot
and killed by a bus driver after ne
had alighted from the bus and the
driver had followed him to the road
After the driver came out Of the bus
into the road where Private Green
stood. he shot and killed him IN cold
blood
An argument developed on the bus
between Private Green and the driv-
er because the driver said Green was
sitting in 4 section reserved Tor
white people. Green refused to move
but said rather than have any trouble
he would leave the bus. He lett the
bus and got out into the road where
the driver followed him and shot
him
Alter the NAACP had presented
the ctse to the War department, Tru-
nan < Gibson. I'll Aide to the Sec
retarv Of War wrote under date OF
April /. 1874, saying that a synopsis
OF events prepared BY an Army IN
