Bremen Hail Victory Case

IS. H. Clark, President of the Association of Coloredl Railroad Trainmen and Bremen, when con- tacted, stated that the recent de- cision of Judge Sterling Hutche- son of the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia concerning the case of Tom Tunstall, a eolored fireman, against the Norfolk Southern Rail- way and the Brotherhood of ,Lo- conotive Bremen and Erginemen, culminated four years of legal bat ties.
 The court by preventing a white union from enforcing Q collective bargaining agreement, which had been made by authorized proce- dure, barring Negro fireman from promotion or favorable as- signment opened the door, so long closed, for respect and fair prac- tices to be accorded the colored worker in railroading.

MAN TO MAN
By Dick Stimson THAT'S MY MEAT

Why IS there no meat in the stores? Simply because the meat industry is on strike - not the workers, but the big ranchers and meat hackers. The strike is for higher prices; the method is star vation of the public.
 What can be done? The go- vernment has broken strikes of workers; it chooses not to break the strike of the big ranchers and packers. It could do so by seizing the meat industry, but it will not do so. The meat indus try wants the government to sur render by giving up price control on meats. By the time this CO., 1u1nn appears that may have hap pened.
 If price control is given up, it will react to the credit of Con gressman Herman P. Kopple- mann. While the Taft Republi- cans and poll-tax Democrats were busy slashing o. P. A. with amendments, Congressman Kop- plemann was in the minority of liberals who tried to strengthen the control over prices. Finally, the anti-administration forces produced such a monstrosity that Congressman Kopplemann voted against it. We aren't surprized that the Wherry-Taft O. P. A. has failed. It was br'I to fail. OF STEAKS AND
 OLEOMARGARINE
 Argentina has offered the U. s. a shipment of her beef (which is scarce in Argentina, tool in order to prove that it is worth eating. Many people suddenly learn that for years it has been illegal to bring Argentina beef into this country. The people of Argentina have taken this as an insult to their country.
 THAT'S MY MEAT!
 The reason for the ban on Ar gentina beef is supposedly the fact that the "hoof-and-mouth' disease is prevalent among Ar gentina cattle. If this were the real reason. it would be enough to require the usual government inspection of meat before allow ing it to be imported. The real reason, however, is to keep Ar gentina meat from competing with U. s. meat and bringing down the price of steak.

Recently he has been seeen in the Umpire's uniform at most of the Giants games. He is a likeable young man who will be City Treasurer.
 The Democrats also gained control of the Common Council This will aid in getting progres- sive legislation passed. With younger men in the city's go- vernment will aid in a better race-relationship.
 *********** WHY COMPLAIN?
 There is another election com ing up in November. All of us know that we will not be able to vote unless we register. There are any number of us who failed to register for the city election. When November comes let us not regret that we failed to execute our constitutional power. Voting time is the time for us to rectify our complaints. If we fail to take a part in the election of the leaders in our government then we should not find fault with the winers. There will be no need for us to complain if we were to become a part of our government
 Things are not as they were when we were kids. It is for us to try to shape or help to shape the world so that it will be a bet ter place in which to live. The vote which one may cast does seem small but each vote is coun- ted. Some of us may say that one, vote one way or the other will not make a difference. You are mistaken each individuals vote is needed. The leaders in the community make it very easy for all who want to. vote. Be you Republican or Democrat by all means register to vote in the November Election. Saturday, Oct. 19 will be the last day to make new voters.

If the O. P. A. control of meat is killed, then Argentine beef should be allowed to enter the U. s. Subject to inspection) and help keep down the price. @
 This law against Argentine beef reminds US of the laws which hinder the sale of oleo-mar- garine. There is, first a special tax on margarine. There are al so laws which require special signs where margarine is sold or used and which make it illegal to color margarine. These laws are supposed to protect the public's health. Actually they don't make sense, because most butter is artifcially colored. The laws were passed only because the dairy interest wanted them passed in order to see more but ter.
 This is one more example of laws which favor special interests instead of the good of the peo- pie as a whole.
 Even one meat ball is enough to get excited about in these days as we all become vegeta- rians. The politicians agree that the situation is bad, so they stand pointing at each other and sboutino stHe did it"
 Is there enough meat on the hoof? The experts have toured the West and their answer is Yes.
 Are prices high enough to make ranching profitable? The prices of meat have been, raised considerably already and the Se- cretary of Agriculture says they are high enough.

Founded on Split Lip
AN ENCYCLOPEDIA on the lore OF
his craft, Stenberg told us why
Elkhart had become the worlds
leading emporium of brass and
wood wind instruments. His tale
was verified by every authority
consulted by the writer.
Economists will look in vain for
highfalutin explanations. such as
proximity to coal. steel. markets,
etc. Actually. it all happened be-
cause a roustabout ex-Civil War
captain, c. G. Conn. a member of
Elkhart's Silver Cornet Band, got
his lip split in scuffle with a
neighborhood bully, who galloped
his horse straight through a group
of musicians assembled for street
concert.
Unable to play the cornet with
his injured lip, Conn. then a gro
cery clerk, devised a rubber mouth
piece. 1t worked. But stranger
still. the whole country seemed
to TEEN with cornctists recov-
ering from socks on the chin.
Orders from split-hpped musicians
poured in and Conn began manu-
featuring rubber mouthpieces on a
large scale. 1t was only short step
to making the whole cornet. And
that's the genesis of lndlana's
$4,000, 600 musical industry.
