"Made WOrk"-Sheer Waste

The Union leaders demand that full
length freight trains be cut to about
half their length, even though such
trains are most efficient for low-cost
service to you. This rule would call for
twice as many locomotives, would
double the number of trains. and make
accidents more likely.
Additional equipment, yards, and
other facilities required to take care of
these short trains would cost hundreds
of millions. What the Union leaders
really want is to make more jobs.
The Union leaders demand that when
a crew in one class of service perform
incidental service of another class, they
will be paid not less than days pay
for each class, even though all service
is performed as part of the same days

Seek Reinstatement
Of Nou. Football
Game Cancelled

The football game which was
scheduled for Nov. % at Roswell,
N. M, between the Phoenix Col
lege Bears and the New Mexico
Military Institute was cancelled by
Dean r. J. Hannelly of Junior
College because the New Mexico
School refused to play with Paul
Redeau, former st. Mary's Foot
ball star, and who plays end for
the Bears, and is the only Negro
player on the Phoenix squad. Dean
Hannelly cancelled the game be-
cause of the principle involved, he
said and stated "We don't propose
ITO let anyone tell us who can play
on our football team"
Col. R. R. Brown, director of
atheletics at the institute, was re-
ported in Roswell as saying there
was a misunderstanding and that
his school wished to proceed with
the game.
However, Dean Hannelly said he
had a letter from Col. Brown
dated Oct. II saying eff you have
any Negro players on your team
they will not be able to play against
us at Roswell"
Dean Hannelly said such an in
cident had occurred in 1912 at
Phoenix but the previous year at
Roswell the same player was not
allowed to play.
There was no immediate indica-
ton what would happen next in
the case but the New Mexico
school probably will have to take
the official initiative.
The Dean is being commended
by many, throughout the city for
his Democratic stand on the mat
ter, but when contacted by the
Arizona Sun, he stated, to the eff
feet, that concentrations were not
necessary as it is his duty as a
good American cirizeff to take this
course.

AFL And ClO Endorse Negro For Supervisor
First Negro in The History
Of Frisco ToBe Endorsed
Bv Both Labor Unions
By CARL WILLIAMS

Daily Peoples World Staff Writer
When the AFL and CIO join
forces to put a man in public office,
it is news.
When the man is a Negro, it be-
comes even bigge rnews.
Today, DR.. F. D. Haynes, candi-
date for the board of supervisors
in the Nov. A election, is such
man.
For 16 years a registered Demo-
crat and minister of the Third
Baptist Church, DR.. Haynes be-
lieves that "he who defends labor
defends the best interests of the
whole American people,"
AS a result of this stand over
many years, DR.. Haynes today has
the unqualified endorsement, not
of the two great arms of organ
lied labor, but of the Democratic
party, the Ministerial Alliance and
the Fillmore Democratic Club.
He did not gain the CIO-AFL
endorsement just through the me-
dium of his curren campaign
speeches in the halls and streets of
San Francisco.
A man who has never hesitated
to step down from his pupit to
take up the cause of the common
man, DR.. Haynes was one of the
few ministers who came out in
public support of the maritime
workers during the historic 1884
strike.
Condemning the city sales tax
as an "undemocratic tax imposed
against the wishes of the people"
he has plegded a determined fight
for its repeal when he is elected.
He believes a rent control law
with real teeth in it,V and public,
low rent housing without discrimi-
nation and segregation, are neces-
sary steps toward getting a roof
over the head of every sitiZen."
A program of state and federal
public works and an end to dis
elimination in every field are
necessary measures to combat
growing unemployment, he states
in his program.
The father of two high school
children, Fred, Jr., and Harvey,
DR.. Haynes believes in and will
fight for better pay for teachers
and elimination of overcrowded
condition by relocation of schools
and additions wherever necessary.
Years of pressure from reac-
tiOnarV forces have not weakened
DR.. Haynes fighting spirit, nor
forced him to desert the side Of
the working man.
For too long have our people
been lulled to sleep by professional
politicians trying to get us to "Sel1
out" labor and come over to the
right side", DR.. Haynes declared
before a meeting of the National

feeling on the subject.
Adequate nationwide publicity

justification of Arizona's need for

Mrs. Tannehiu Tells
OF Months Vacation
BY Mrs. Jennie Tannehill

] have been visiting relatives
and friends in Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, Texas and
Oklahoma since Aug. 3rd. I had
the pleasure of seeing three gen.
erations of my nices and nephews.
My most thrilling experience was
a ride through a mile long tunnel
under the Hudson river, in New
York.
Everywhere I visited our people
seemed proSperouS,-they have
nice homes and businesses. The
prosperity and friendliness every
where I visited made me feel very
proud of my race, but on entering
the "Jom Crow" States I was very
much disguested at the poor ac-
comodations given our people in
travelling, at the same cost for
other races who have the best Of
accommodations.
Rest rooms for Negroes in some
of the Southern States are not fit
for a dog and / recall, in bus depot
(for NegroeS) there was one paper
cup for all to drink from.
One could in most places buy
anything he wanted, but his meals
were purchased and eaten in a
small room in the back. And, on
some of the "Jom Crow" trains
the convenienceS were anything
but pleasant.
The question in my mind is if
we are "Jim Crowed" why we are
charged the same price for our
tickets? Some may say, well you
can take what they give you or
stay at home,-there is nothing
we can do about it."
That may be true, but I believe
we ourselves could try to do some
thing about it by writing our
representatives in Washington
asking why the Bill of Rights is
not enforced in the South. In my
opinion, every State which has
Jim Crow law are in violation of
the Constitution of the U. S.
We have a Freedom Train. Its
purpose is to remind the people
to rededicate themselves in loyalty
to their government and to remind
them of the freedom and rights
given them in our Country.
Unless this train travels through
the South with force enough tC
tear down all Jim Crow" signs
in my opinion, when it has made
it's round, it will not have &C.
compliShed its purpose.
