The following is the text of a
letter sent to Louis Mason Jr., as
sIstant Industrial secretary of the
Urban League of Pittsburgh Pa.
20 A. T. Whitney, president, Bro
therhcod of Railroad Trainmen.
Mason wrote to Whitney after the
appearance of the union nresi-
dents article brotherhood of Man

ports. Brotherhood, Mason beIiev-
es, also means Negro membership
in the Railroad Trainmen's IN
ions.

Cleveland, Ohio
Dear Mr.. Whitney:
On behalf Of the Industrial Com.
mittee of the Urban League Of
pittsburgh, [ am writing you con-
corning your very fine article en-
titled, Brotherhood of Man
which appeared in a recent issue
Of LABOR REPORTS.
Needless to say we enioved the
complete presentation of tn 9
theme, especially the simple and
drect wording that you used. Most
Important of all, we agree with
your formula which would imple-
ment the attainment and perse-
cution OF these ideas which up I'm
til today have made and kept
America great.
However, Mr.. Whitney. the COM
mittee has a few ideas that it
would like for you to give some
consideration. The Industrial Com
mittee feels that the first step that
should be taken in achieving ma
tional brotherhood is that n
step which will insure to EACH
and EVERY person within our ma
tional boundaries equal opportun-
tiles to develop to the limit of
his CAPABILITIES. We feel that this
cannot be done if unsurmountable
barriers based on race, creed, CO.
Tor, or national origin are inter
posed during the development of
the individual. Therefore. we be-
lieve that the initiation Of a sound
program of cooperation on local
levels is the order of the day to-
wards the achievement of the spi-
rit of world brotherhood of which
you speak.
1t is u assumption that your
use of the word we" in your theme
was intended to include exactly
everyone. That being true, MI.
Whitney, then we agree. whole
heartedly with your statement,
we must complete the destruction
of fascism wherever we find it."
We suggest that you use every
influence of your position as pre-
sident Of the Brotherhood of r. r.
to extricate and destroy
the very seeds of fascism. racial
intolerance, within the ranks of
your local unions.
1t is in these local unions where

LYNCHED IN TEXAS

NEW YORK, August 22nd-
Lynch terror continued undated
in several Southern States today,
fIaring up in Marshall, Texas,
where two Negro veterans met
death at the hands Of unknown
persons. Although Texas police
attempted to characterize the Iyn-

NAACP investigators have re-

Of an ominous lack of cooperation
by the towns police. The two new
victims of the terror, berth form

Gordon's death, according to the
police was at the hands of a hit

Some of these big supply outfits
furnish dry goods. Some furnish
foods. They all work or the prin-
ciple of big turnover and small
unit profits. which is precisely
the principle that led to success
for the big chains. One of the old
fashioned alliances has more than
5000 Independent stores affiliated
with it thus out-distancing any
chain organization.

JOBS NJ WAGES

JOBS AND a
Labor has received enormous
gains in the form of wage inchea-
SEES, reduced hours of work, well
fare funds, and so on. Even so,
there are rumors of new labor
drives to obtain still greater bene-
fits. There is talk of more strikes
in basic industry, which would sti-
file production and thus contribute
to greater initiation.
What labor should realize is
that destruction of industry and
policies which unreasonably in
crease the operating of industry.
will destroy labor's gains. An ex-
cellent example of this is the coal
industry. To quote Coal Age, coal
will have to be mined because the
country cannot do without it. That
alone should assure good business
although not necessarily proflta-
BILE prices. for at least a year or
two more. But the increased costs
imposed on the industry. plus the
production Interruptions that have
kept the of coal in a lather
since the war started, favor a COM
petitive upsurge that can cost coal
a great deal of business and min
ers a great deal of earnings unless
prompt steps are taken in the dir
ection of less interference with
management, fewer production
stoppages and higher efficiency.
Coal now is definitely on the dan
ger line-if not yer it,"
If coal costs eventually go too
high, industrial users will find a
cheaper power substitute. And then
the tens of thousands of jobs coal
mining provides will disappear.
Labor wants good pay. And la
Dor also wants an abundance of
Jobs. These are legitimate goals.
But when labor demands too much
it starts a process which a de-
stroy the very source of its live
lihood. This is simply one more x
ample of the fact that you can't
have YOUR cake and eat it too.
NOTHING 1T GOOD ENOUGH"
So far as the consumer is con-
cerned, the main job of the oil in
dustry is to provide him with a
constant, reasonably priced sup
ply of gasoline, fuel oil and other
petroleum products when and
where he wants them and in the
grades desired.
Looking at the oil industry from
the point of view of the long pull,
however, some activities which
few consumers ever see at first
hand are of even greater impor-
lance.
First, it isn't enough just to have
sufficient oil in sight for this year
or next year.
The industry must think five.
ten, even twenty years ahead. It's
spends enormous sums in prospect
ting new potential oil bearing areas
1t sinks deeper wells, in order to
get the most out of every field. It
carries on elaborate conservation
oNIAslIlCo " SdlSS udIQ OIL T6S6rVGS
AS a result of this, vast new re-
serves are constantly being disco
vered. T.
Second, it carries on unceasing
laboratory work to develop better
oils and lubricants. The many spe-
cial fuels used for military pur-
poses during the war, such as gas
ollne of extremely high octane con
tent, are an example of this. The
great progress made is now being
adapted to civilian needs. So. lit
Tie by little, you get better gas for
your car.
Great producing industries must
also be great research industries.
Nothing must ever be considered
good enough-instead, a constant
search must be made for some
thing better. Oil typifies that in
dustrial philosophy.

Ample Size

There is little difference
between the cost of a hot
water or steam heating plant
of ample capacity and one
that is undersized, heating
experts point out. Over a
period of years, in terms of
operating cost and mainte-
nance, it will be found that
a correctly sized, properly
installed hot water or steam
heating system actually will
prove the cheaper, they hold.
In selecting heating equip

costs TO be considered, the

DECREASE HEAT

A layer of SCOT or fly ash
in these passages can de-
crease to a surprising degree
the amount of heat absorbed
by the heating plant and thus
reduce its efficiency.
To remove these insulating
layers of SCOT and ash it is
necessary only to open the
cleanout door, or doors, and
use an appropriate long
handled steel brush to clean
the accumula zion from the
metal surfaces of the gas
passages.

ASH INCREASES

Another point to remember
is that when the fuel con-
sumption is high the amount
of ash also increases, not be-
cause there is more ash in the
coal but merely because more
coal is being burned.
The aShPit should be pre-
vented from filling up with
ashes because this only would
not cut down the draft. but
there also would be a danger
of burning or warping the
CRATES if the ashes were per-
mitted to reach CRATE level.
