flavor of Negro labor. In many rail
road yards, for example, the only
car clears present were those en-
ployed by the Pullman Co. Many
railroad yardmasters openly stated
they did not want Negroes ''in the
yard"
Moreover many railway unions
have never wanted Negro employees
in the railroad yards. These anti
Negro unions would be showing re-
markable restraint if they didn't
try to bring pressure on the rail-
roads to the disadvantage of Negro
porters. If all this seems like
stretching point one only has to re-
member that over a period of two
generations, the white foremen,
switchmen, brakemen, carmen have
Just about driven Negroes in these
jobs off the roads. And they did it
by pressuring employers into CO.
operating with them.
One hopes these fears are un-
founded, however, bitter expert
ence has taught us to anticipate the
future as much as possible and pre-
pare for the worse.

TRUMAN MOVES TO Curb
RACIAL discrimination
ON FEDERAL JOBS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26,
(ANP).-A move to curb racial
discrimination on federal jobs was
made here by President Truman,
who simultaneously empowered the
FEPC to probe employment dis
elimination in private industry en-
gagged in military or defective" re-
conversion production.
"It has come to my attention."
said the Presidents directive, "that
considerable number of loyal and
qualified employees have been refus-
ed transfer and unemployment by
employing agencies solely because
of race and creed. This is viola
tion of civil service rules issued by
the President and of an existing
law"
Aside from his directive to heads
of government departments on ra-
cial discrimination, Truman also
authorized the FEPC to investigate
racial bias in private industry and
continued the FEPC until June 80,
1916, A midwest hearing will be
conducted by the FEPC in Febru-
ary to determine the extent of dis
elimination against Negroes and
other minority groups in reconver-
sion hiring.
The FEPC may now move ahead
to issue directives against racial
discrimination oneU. S. jobs but is
limited to investigating and report
ing similar practices in private in
dustry. The senate labor committee
has approved legislation for a per.
manent FEPC but the house rules
committee, dominated by southern
Democrats, has blocked the measure
for several months.

LABOR VIEWS
BY George F. McCray

The future of the world famed
Pullman sleeping car company is no
longer in doubt. AS the result of the
federal court order for Pullman,
Inc, to sell either it's car building
business or it's passenger hauling
business, the future of some $4,000
Negro pullman porters has lost
much of it's old certainty.
At cost of some Is million dol
lars group of 43 railroads all over
the country have agreed to buy
Pullman cars which they normally
require to serve their passengers
and to form company in which to
pool excess cars and to service those
in operation. The big question is
what will be the attitude of these
new owners to the Negro porters'
monopoly of the occupation? Indeed
A. P. Randolph's Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, of which most
of the porters are members, might
be facing one Of the most difficult
problems ever dumped in the lap Of
the union.
Negroes started early with the
Pullman Co., both for sentimental
reasons and because of the cheap
ness of Negro labor before 1900.
This early start was extended to a
virtual monopoly during the many
years that Todd Lincoln, son of
Abraham Lincoln, was president of
the company. The old porters raised
personal service in America to a
high level for honesty, efficiency,
courteous and selfless service. In
addition the willingness of porters
to live off the charity of passengers
and to take abuse uncomplainingly
made them a regular part of the
equipment on Pullman car.
For years now pullman portering
has been under pressure from the
speeding up of trains and the use of
stewardesses in airplanes. And it
would be welcome surprise if the
sale of the old Pullman Co. does not
hurt still more Negro employment
opportunities in the railroad indus
try. The various railroads which
will operate sleeping cars of their
own as we'll as influence the policies
of the pooling company, often do
not appreciate the fine quality and

LONDON, June IA (UP)-Mos-
COW announced tonight on the eve
of Polish conference in the
Soviet capital that the Russians
had finished investigating the
case of a group of Poles arrested
by the Red army and would SUBJ
NIT it TO a Soviet court within
few days.
The Moscow radio said Is
Polish leaders, instead of the l6
reported by other sources, had
been arrested in Poland last
March. They were accused of
diversionist activity against the
Red army.
Moscow said a Soviet prose-
cutor had ended his inquiry into
the case.
The brief Moscow report did
not identify the Is Poles nor ex-
plain the discrepancy between
this number and the 10 reported
by Polish sources.
Observers regarded it as no
mere coincidence that Moscow
should report on court proceed
ings in connection with the Polish
case a day before Big Three and
Polish representatives in Moscow
were TO open conference.
A Moscow dispatch said the
conferees probably would set up
new unity government for
Poland, with Stahislaw Mikolajc-
zyk of the London delegation as
premier. Mikolajczyk was for
merly premier Of the Polish exile
