RAILWAY MAIL
ASSOCIATION
LOSES FIGHT TO
BAR NEGROES

WASHINGTON, d. c. = On
June 10Th the Railway Mail As
ISOLATION lost its fight in the U,
S. Supreme Court to bar Negroes
from membership in the Assoeia-
ton. The Supreme Court ruling
upheld the validity of the New
York Civil Rights law and a pre-
vious ruling in July, 1914. of the
New York Supreme Court that
the Association was a labor I'M
ion and had violated the State
Civil Rights laws in limiting
membership to white govern
ment postal clerks.
The NAACp filed brief ANXIOUS
curiae with both the State Court
and the u. S, Supreme Court,
in which ii pointed out that the
State had ample power to pass
such statutes regulating union
practices as the result of its
police power over places and
activities affected with the pub
lie interest
The U. S. Supreme Court OPP
inion written by Justice Reed
stated: In their very nature
racial and religious minorities
are likely to be so small in num-
Der in any particular industry as
to be unable to form an effective
organization for securing settle
ment of their grievances and con-
sideration Of their group aims
with respect to conditions of en-
ployment &.
The Court further stated: "We
see no constitutional basis for
the contention that State can
not protect workers from exclu-
sion solely on the basis of race,
color or creed by an organization,
functioning under the protection
of the State, which holds itself
out to represent the general bust
ness needs of employees
The Railway Mail Association,
a New Hampshire corporation,
limits membership, by constitu-
tional provision, to ANY regular
male railway postal clerk or male
substitute postal clerk of the
United States Railway Mall Ser
vice who is of the Caucasian race
or a native American Indian.
The decision of June 18th makes
unenforceable in the State ol
New York any such provisions ir
the constitution and bylaws ol
this or any other organization.

ed. "FEPC is not an issue al

Stilway only two weeks ago
announced that the war in the

the Congress to establish a perm

"The Congress" warned White,

White labeled the conduct

every trickery known to legis-
lative procedure to preserve the
poll tax, to wipe out the Owl, to
deny the right to work without
discrimination on account of
race, creed, color, or national
origin.
" You can fight, work and

At the last meeting of the IBEW Local 261 it was voted to close the charter at the next meeting which will be held March 3rd in Carpenters Hall, located on Broad Street in New London.
 We came to this decision after taking inventory of our members and finding that strong enough to close the charter We could have closed 1t at that time but 1t was decided that the few who have not as yet joined should be given thirty days in which to make up their minds
 When this period is over the chance to join for dollar and half will be gone will your chance to show your willingness to support organized labor Now is the time to get in touch with your steward and help yourself by signing up with him. If you are Main Yard electrician see either George McMahOn, Arthur Brown Carl Saari, Morris Dreler, Peter Armenia, Al Partridge Norman Brennan Ray Clark. If you are on nights in the Main Yard Chester Woldkowsh or Ralph GOIding Victory Yard electricians can get in touch with Al Farina, Buster Baur Ralph Gurney
 If you will look around you will see, by the display of red buttons that goal of hundred per cent is not far away. you one of the few, conspicuous by the absence of button, you still have time in which you can correct the situation.
 We would like to take this opportunity to advise few of members who have not yet received their official receipt for he original membership cost, to leave their with their steward, andsh will see that you do receive them.
 As we go along we will try to make this column of more interest socially speaking In order to make the dead line for this issue of the paper forced to cut it short Until the next issue long, and let's have enough of us displaying red button.
