To President Truman:


Supplementing statement Of
protest against the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen's proposal OF
rule to displace train porters on
head-in of the trains and in view
of your demand that carriers and
railroad organizations involved in
strike scheduled to take place on
the railways May 18th is intended
to prevent interruption of inter
state commerce and also to settle
wage and work rules dispute Civ
ing rise to this labor-management
conflict, the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters desires herewith
to call your attention to the rule
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen which is designed to
diSplace train porters on the head
in of the trains. This action ON
the part of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen is an attempt
to secure a full crew law or pol
icy on the railroads. through di-
rect action, namely, a strike or
threat of a strike, because it has
not been able to secure this thru
indirect action in the form of leg
islation either on Congress or in
all the various states. We submit
that this action il successful will
take away the jobs of some 800
or 1000 Negro train porters OPP
Grating on railroads in the Middle

Negro Vets Should
Renew Insurance

The State Department for Vet
eran Affairs launched last week
campaign trying to convince serv-
ice men to hold onto the Insurance
when they leave the service OF
Uncle Sam. This should apply to
Negroes more than anyone else
for the reason that $4,000 policies
are not written on Negroes gener-
ally. And especially throughout
the South where their lives are so
cheap before the laws or other
wise. Negroes would find 1t very
convenient if at any time during
the few years after the war is over
to use these policies as security
for business ventures or the pur-
chases of property. People respect
anyone who has some financial
cash reserve.

The old story that juvenile delin-
quency begins in the home may
be true, but much of the respon-
sibility rests squarely upon the
shoulders of elected officials whose
duty it is to provide wholesome
recreational facilities for the de-
yelOpment of youth.
A part of the East Madison dis.
trict is so neglected in this re
spect that il is disgrace to the
district and to the city, but it
seems that none of our previous
legislators have given this impor-
tant matter any of their attention
1t may be easy to develop racke-
teers around 22nd and Madison
but they will not necessarily have
to ply their trade there. They
can easily go to Queen Anne or
Green Lake and commit robbery
or murder. | am pointing out that
since the future of our country
depends upon the development of
youth it is only fair that all parts
of our city should have equal at
tention in regard to environment
and proper recreation for youth.

and seven years are now COMPEL

While the brotherhood of Rail

this drastic rule upon the public
at the expense of Negro train
porters whose tenure in railroad
service is as long as the train
men, this same organization has

prohibiting Negroes from becom-

vocation of the train pOrters as
