This. trend has continued, up to

Wages of 21,0OO Midwest wait
ers, cooks and chefs went down

erS.
TERMINAL poipt for dining
car employees in the Midwest is
the union-owned Quincy Club,
3S06 Michigan, which houses the
Joint Council.
The Council is composed of Ii
locals of the 25O,000-man Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Inter
national Alliance and Bartenders
international League of America.
Key union in this fast-growing
American Federation of Labor
organization is Chicago's only

WATERS who last week were
steaming across Mississippi on
campaign trains with Senator T.
K. Bilbo or rolling west with re-
spectacle travellers, this week
were gathering in Chicago for
Local 351's hotly-contested July
elections.
Headed by Harrison T. Brooks,
nominee for general chairman of
the local, a heavily supported
slate including Joseph Larvan-
cite, Joseph Gardette and Tyree
Galloway face the five-term in
cumbents William Settler, Thorn
as Edge and Bert Jones.
Rank-and-file walters and cooks
declare that the first big election
battle of local 351 may determine
the future course of the big In
ternational headed by S12,O00-a
year president Hugo Ernst.
HERE to eye balloting and to
plan new negotiation strategy is
the unions international vice
president at large, George E.
Brown, an ex-Pennsylvania Rail-
road cook who felt assured
there will be no changes" in
present officers.
"The low average wage of the
walters is what's worrying u.s."
says Brown.
Tops for a waiter on the big
roads is SITS a month for a 81
hour week. Highest paid mem
bers of the union are cooks with
Is years experience who get $276
"a month"
BROWN says this is a ten.year
jump from a $3.50 top for wait
ers and a $3.50 top for cooks
when the union organized the din
ing car workers in 1884.
Brown, who shares offices with
Richard Smith, secretary-treasur.
er of the Council, and Scion c.
Bell, ace organizer and represent
ative, says the toughest fight in
negotiations is to keep walters
tips out of consideration as sal
aries.
TIPS, which some dining car
leaders say help reduce walters
wages, are regarded as "just pri-
vate transactions between waiter
and eater"
Nevertheless, it has been tips,
not wages, which has kept most
OF the moving membership com
ing hack to work on the railroads.
On the, other hand, it is Jim
Crow in the AFL which tempts
many of the membership to bolt
to other organizations, officials
admit.

ter of keen concern to dining car
leaders.
Brown cites cases like that of
| crew which went on a Sit-doWn
strike in Alabama when their
white steward turned back a col
ored passenger from the dining
car.
"The Elks voted this crew a
medal for distinguished service
at their last convention" grins
Brown.

pulled in front of colored diners
when it hit the Southern states.
when the train got to Dixie
the curtains disappeared. The
roads replaced them again and
again but somehow they'd al
ways vanish below the Mason
Dixon line. Finally the company
just gave up"
On the question of how wait
ers feel about serving Senator
BilbO or Representative Ran
kin, Browns answer is imprint
able.
SPARKPLUG of the fight to
upgrade Negro dining car en-
ployees in the Midwest is
Brooks, why, Milwaukee wait
er, candidate for Craftsmanship
of Local 351 and director of the
unions educational activities.
Brooks, together with a.
brainy, aggressive group of
walters including Galloway of
the Santa Fe, Larvanette of the
New York Central, Fred Smith
of Illinois Central and Gardette
of the Milwaukee, helped break
an age-old barrier against Ne
gro stewards and supervisory
employees on the Northwestern,
Pennsylvania and Milwaukee
roads.
New addition to this nearly
all-Negro union has been the

white mattresses who joined To-
cal 351.
WITH scattered, mixed.
membership of Mexican, Indian,
Negroes and white workers,
policy of the Dining Car En-
ployees has been to maintain a
rigid expulsion clause for rae.
ism within the union.
In the mail referendum to be
held July II, John A. Miderskl,
a Milwaukee cook, will be the
first white candidate to run for
the office of vice-president.
Long-range plans for building
the local have already been set
by Gardette, 12-year veteran
waiter in charge of building
ladies auxiliary among the un-
ions five percent female mem
bers.
CREDIT for arousing the To-
-cal from what unionists regard
as its EIGHT year sleep" has
been given to Bell, chairman of
the Joint Council, who launched
the new program to strengthen
and unity the union.
With contracts on 13 major
| railroads in the Chicago area, Lo
cal 351 has a potential member
ship of 5000, instead of its pre-
sent $500.
