Rail Union Junks
Jim Grow Clauses

Cincinnati (LPA)-The Brother
hood of Railway Clerks, largest
union on the railroads with almost
$4,000 membership, has wiped the
white" clause out of its constitu-
tion, thus opening the door to full
rights for Negro members.
This action was taken by land
slide majority at the Brotherhood's
international convention here last
week. Only about so out of over
1000 delegates voted against the
proposition.
Immediately affected by the
change will be $4,000 present Ne
gro members who up to now have
been organized into auxiliaries
without full voting rights or rep
resentation at conventions.
President George M. Harrison
made a strong plea for removal
of that restriction and cited the
fact that four states have already
enacted laws prohibiting member
ship discrimination by unions be-
cause of race, color or creed.

26 Phone Unions
Win 81 To S12
Raises From Bell

Washington (LPA)-Wage gains
ranging from low of 50 to high
of S12 were received last week by
26 striking telephone unions that
signed new contracts with subsid-
iaries of the Bell system thruout
the country.
Still out on strike were 13 af-
filiates of the Independent Natl
Federation of Telephone Workers
whose walkout entered the seventh
week on May 10. Reports to NFTW
headquarters indicated that many
unions which had already settled
on a new contract refused to vio-
late the picket lines of the workers
still out.
Fringe issue settlements varied
from place to place and covered
different items. Their money value
likewise varied but will probably
amount to about the CSC per week
average agreed to in the Long
Lines settlement.
A number of settlements were
made by unaffiliated unions at
the same time NFTW unions were
reaching agreement. These settle
ments followed about the same
general pattern as those for
NFTW unions. One unaffiliated
union, the Maryland Federation of
Telephone Workers, accepted
company proposal to arbitrate. In
all other cases, the settlements
included wage increases.
The 26 NFTW settlements cover
ed approximately 10000 workers,
those of unaffiliated unions COW
cred an additional 10000. The 13
NFTW unions still on strike rep
resent a combined membership of
approximately 100000 workers.
Of the 16 unions still in dispute,
IA were with Bell companies, two
with independent companies. Of
the IA Bell disputes, 9 were with
associated companies, five with
Western Electric.
In only one of the five Western
Electric disputes did the company
make a wage offer. That was the
Association of Communication
Equipment Workers who rejected
it as being inadequate.
Most basic increases, said NFTW
clustered around So to $4
with the final average wage raise
close to S4 a week.
AS the strikes came closer to
the NFTW intensified
its plans for a new organizing
drive that will weld all telephone
workers into a single national
union.

tion of a bill that would punish
lynching with Jail terms up to 20

Quoted on Feb. II from a Green

In the House of Representatives,
Clifford P. Case (R., n. j. intro
duced a new anti-lynching bill
(HR-34SS), asserting that "Our
moral leadership, upon which the
outside world depends at least as
much as our physical strength and
material resources, will be greatly
weakened unless we, as the nation,
take definite and effective steps to
eradicate the foul crime of lynch
ing from the fabric of our domes-
tic life"
The bill would not only provide
heavy criminal penalties for any
member of a lynch mob or any
other person wilfully involved in a
lynching. 1t would also punish any
state or local official who shall
have failed in the performance of
his duty to prevent a lynching or
to apprehend and bring to justice
anyone guilty of that crime.
The local community whose neg
lect makesc possible lynching,
or an abduction which leads to a
lynching, is made liable for civil
damages from $1,000 to $4,000 to
the lynch victim or his family if
he is killed.
In the Greenville trial, 26 of the
81 men signed confessions that
they had participated in the abduc-
ton and brutal murder of Willie
