Something Must Be Done About Our
Bus Service On West 9Th Street
BY James III. Booker

Bus service offered coored passengers travelling West
9th Street route has become deporable!
Insults injuries received by bus riders in recent
weeks mounting We do not fares to be insuted
do pay fares to become injured agh from
these public conveyances result OF negecu and ndlf-
ferent drivers.
We do do other passengers pay fare to receive
well bred treatment by the bus operators We do as do other
passengers fares to obtain patient fair and courteous
handling by these public servants.
This week the story of one Mrs Jeffrey James
Dsmuke wife of of the United States Navy being
injured result of being dragged several feet she tried
to agh from West 9th bus along with her three yea old
James Robert Dismuke This similar to previous
occurring several weeks involving Mrs L. ~ Porter
another typical example of negectu and impatient bus
drivers Another brought to attention this week
refers insults handed of ladies by bus driver
How long these conditions which strike at the very heart
of proposals for good citizenship and Amercansm
remain without racial uprisngs will depend largely upon the
eveheadedness of people We love liberty and freedom
We hate trouble But these Incidents friends prey upon
the manhood of all who seek justice and fair play
But let not feel that the picture, however sad it is
be improved upon For it thought that these
trying experiences and will be completely eradcated
ONLY through the employment of Negroes bus drivers
especially along the West 9th district.
That there and in racial group who
highly capable of meeting any and all UNBAS for
these Jobs be shown by the enjoyed by
bus operators other cities AT first should be remember
ed the hiring of folk these capacities created small
degree of doubt and resentment by other groups But we
today say the experiment has become of the HIGH
points racial cooperation where Negro bus drivers exist
Many this City and State, who have returned
perous and responsible jobs the service whose
vices along this line could be utilized Let DELAY in
correcting the West 9th bus driver evil Or do we want 10
maintain the evil nurture it and welcome trouble sensible
person desires?
