Pullman POrters Cited
For Honesty, Bravery

CHICAGO-Routine honesty and
bravery Of pullman porters are
dramatized in Stewart Holbrook's
August Negro Digest article re-
lating the recovery of $4,000 in
jewelry. capture of a FBI-wanted
murderer. and rescue of an entire
community surrounded by a blaz-
ing forest fire.
Pullman porters are tightest-
Tipped of all men, Holbrook,
author OF Lost Men of American
History and six other books
states. and the travelling public
knows little OF their lives and
work
being a pullman porter is like
getting a ten.second flash of every
movie ever filmed" his Negro
Digest story continues.
His research for a book on rail-
roads due this fall unearthed for
Holbrook many unpublished acts
which porters have come to take
as everyday duties. Returning $751;
900 in lost jewelry and aiding
f b / agents in the capture of
murderer whose suitcase con-
tanned $4,000 are part of these
duties.
Devotion to duty even costs the
life of some porters, Holbrook
adds, telling of Arthur Daniels
who was scalded TO death saving
the lives of passengers aboard
his derailed car, the Siroco.
Peak act by any porter, how
ever. is that of John Blair who
helped rescue the citizens of
small Minnesota town surrounded
by forest fire. Hustling scores
of women and children aboard
his chair car. he sprayed them
with water while his blazing cas-
was raced through the burning
hell of trees. He Gained children
with talk while covering them
with wet blankets. By the time
the train reached the nearest lake.
Blair's clothes were afire, but he
still helped the women and chill
dren off the train before crawling
into the water himself. Blair re-
ceived a medal and watch for
his heroism.

Farm Tenance
Lowest in Over
Half a Century

The number of tenant and share
troopers farmers is lower now
than is well over half a century
say u. S. Department. of Agricul-
ture statisticians who have been
analyzing preliminary census data
for 1915. These data shows that
only 80 percene of the farmers
were in the classification of ten
ants III 1896 as compared to AZ
percent in 1910.
Total tenants and croppors num-
bered only I,85S,00O III 1916, in
1880 they numbered over 100000.
Most Of the big drop came during
the war years when the rise in
farm income due in part to
higher prices of farm products and
in part to off farm employment -
enabled many tenants to buy land.
Over half the decrease in farm
tenancy took place in the South.
In this region there was a drop of
100000 tenants and choppers be-
tween 1910 and 1915. However,
the South still has the largest
number of farms operated by ten
ants.
The South also had the largest
gain in the number of owners,
which increased Ia per cent in
thhis region. Colored owners in
the South increased from $4,000
to 10000. In the North and West
the increase in the number of
owners was very slight. In these
two regions there was an increase
in the size Of farms rather than
in the number Of farms.
The gain i nwnoers in the South
came largely from an increase In
the number Of farms Of less than
10 acres. Many of these farms are
situated near the larger Industrial
centers Of the South where the
housing shortages has forced some
urban workers to move farther
out and become rural residents.
Because their plots are in ex-
cess of three acres, the census
clasifies them as farms. Depart
ment officials point out that this
increase the percentages Of owners
and makes for a corresponding de-
crease in tenancy. They say that
If farms Of less than 10 acres were
omitted In the agricultural census,
the percentage Of tenants in the
South would be higher.
