For Ideas

A packed house of Post civil
ian employees was present at
Post Theater No. Saturday
morning, Feb. 10, to witness
the awarding of cash prizes to
winners of suggestions for ways
of saving time, money, and
manpower.
A short War Department film,
Suggestion Power" was shown be-
fore the prizes were awarded. This
film encouraged the participation
of all civilian employees in gather
ing these suggestions, showing that
many an idea or grippe that comes
into ones mind even while at work,
might result in very important
changes in conditions and mean a
cash prize to one who makes the
suggestion.
Mr. Hamilton, head of Employees
Relations, gave a short talk inviting
the cooperation of all present. Vic
tory Awards were made to eight ci-
villain employees who sent in sug-
gestions. These prize -winning ideas
are all now in use here at the Fort.

of a Relief Fund for the members.
The Relief Fund was started last
October with R. S. Harris as chair
man and Samuel H. johnson, treas
urer. To date there are ninety
members and nearly $500 has been
collected from these members for
the Fund. One of the tentative
plans, according to Mr.. Harris, is
pay $500 weekly sick benefits and
$500 death benefit.

Railroad Fires
Veteran for Stand
Against Jim Crow

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
An honorably discharged veteran
of World War II, sharing the same
views with which many of the boys
will return after facing death in
the interest of world freedom, was
discharged as a dining car waiter
last week by the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad for refusing to jim
crow a Negro woman on trip from
Washington to Florida. The case is
probably the fore-runner of many
similar ones which will occur when
the boys return from the foxholes
in Europe and the Pacific. The
waiter is Harry L. Thomas, of
Washington.
Sharing Thomas fate are three
other walters and a cook who have
been given releases by the railroad
because they refused to go out on
run" unless Thomas was sent out
too. They are Ernest A. McRae,
Charlie Holman, J. C. Crockett and
E. L. Peterson.
The incident happened Thursday
week ago on a trip from Wash
ington to Ocala, Fla. The woman
passenger, riding first class in a
Pullman, came into the diner for
service. The steward, K. F. Jones,
of Columbia, Ga. (white) ordered
Thomas, the No. 1 waiter, to draw
the "jimcrow curtain" around her,
after moving two white passengers
from her table. Two other white
passengers, sitting across the aisle
refused to move and said they were
perfectly comfortable"
When Thomas refused to draw
the curtain on the ground the pas
senger was riding first-class and
was entitled to first-class service,
the steward threatened to put him
off the train at Richmond, Va. The
other three walters and Peterson.
the cook, informed the steward
they would get off too if Thomas
was elected. The steward changed
his mind, temporarily.
At the end of the run, in Florida,
he threatened to fire the entire
crew, but again relented. The train
returned to Washington on Satur-
day.
Sunday morning, when the crew
reported for duty, Thomas was told
by the Assistant Superintendent,
Charles Burton, that his services
were no longer needed. The other
members of the crew were called
for their "run," but refused to go
unless Thomas was sent out also.
When Thomas produced his hon
orable discharge papers, the rail-
road officials decided he could make
the trip-but then said the other
men could not go because they had

What's What Among
Twin City RailrOaders

Correction: Roy Green is not a
Pullman man; he runs in charge
on a cafe car. We hear that Barney
Duncan, G. N, who has retired
from the railroad, is living in Sunny
California. Three young matrons
were seen last Sunday night win
ing, dining and dancing in a "hide-
away" on Carroll, with a very well
known G. N. waiter, and certain
playboy of st. Paul. From Car
roll they drove to West st. Paul.
Now, you guess. Correction: Jess
Ellison, G. N, is a discharged vet
eran of World War II. Sorry, Jess.
JEFF Anderson hoped a train last
week for a twenty-day visit in Chi
cago. Could it be wedding bells we
hear, JEFF? Harry Nay, G. N,

Dots and

Hollywood

Hollywood, Calf, April 1.-THE
story is being circulated that while
Duke Ellington was here he closed
a deal to purchase a nite-club in
an exclusive district which will
cater to all races. Incidentally,
Dukes last night in town was a
memorable one. Closing a three
night engagement at the Casa Man
ana, his consistently superlative
music was enlivened when two of
the best reed men in the business
other than those in his own crew
jammed with the boys awhile.
Corky Corcoran, ace Harry James
saxophonist, sat in for a long while
and then took a lead solo with Al
Sears, Harry Carney and Johnny
Hodges laying down a barrage of
background riffs. Few in the
