Of rival organizations all fighting
against one another.
In the South, for example, there
are literally dozens of small indie
pendent unions of Negro RAILROAD
men, formed because of the discrim-
I inatory, policy of the major unions.
An earlier article in this series
described how the Hotel, Restaur-
ant & Bartenders international is
on the way to collapse in railroad
because of it's discriminatory pol
icy.
Another article showed how the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks lost
the affiliation of thousands of Red
caps across the nation because the
union was 10 years too late in
amending it's constitution.
Early this year, several of the
incorporating brotherhoods lost a
system-wide election on the Penn
sylvania to a rival CIO organiza-
ton.
Discrimination, for which the
brotherhoods have so long been IA
nous, is in fact an open invitation
to INSCRIPTIONS elements in other
unions to move in; but, unfortun-
ately, the overall result of such
raiding operations is further to di-
vide and weaken the railroad work
ers.
AS for the individual shops and
yards, the chaos and confusion re-
sulting from discrimination, have
been described in previous articles.
One of the delegates to the con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Firemen & Enginemen
last August was discussing the sub
ject with this reporter:
"The result of all this ought to
be plain enough" he said. "Twenty
years ago railroad men were at the
top of the ladder as regards wages
and working rules. Today they have
fallen to 9th place.
eve work 48, Sc and more hours
a week without overtime. An en-
gineman with ten years training is
lucky if he earns as much as a
ditch-digger in some other indus
try"

case which threw thei brotherhood
open to a whole series of expensive
damage suits. This test case grew
out of an agreement which the Fire
mems brotherhood had signed wite
a number of Southern railroads,
cutting down the jobs available to
Negro Firemen. Editors note: in
the South it has long been custom
ary for Negroes to work as brake
men and firemen; but they were
never promoted to conductors or
engineers.)
One of the Negro firemen who
lost his job as result of this agree
ment was Tom Turnstall. He sued
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen & Enginemen for dam
ages, carried his case to the U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, and won.
At the same time, the Firemen's
constitution, with it's clause barring
Negroes, Indians, and workers OF
Mexican or Spanish extraction from
membership, had violated the law
in those Eastern states which have
passed Fair Employment Practice
Acts.
AS a result, the grand lodge OF
the Firemen itself proposed to
strike this jimcrow clause out OF
the constitution. But after hot de-
bate in the convention last August
in San Francisco, the jimcrow
clause was retained. The delegates
however, threw in waiver for
those areas where court action or
state law might make the luxury Of

B. U. End George Boston partly
blocked a Colgate punt in the first

Columbia Bowls Over

Wild, Woody Fray
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Columbia
scored twice by air and twice by
land today to whip Syracuse, 28-8
In wild and wooly football game
that wound up in confusion with
only one goalpost standing as dark
ness settled over $4,000 dampened
customers at Baker Field.
Occasional rain, frequent penal
ties and several displays of temper
marred this final contest of the
season for both teams, which un-
loaded all the offensive weapons at
their command, including a few
poorly aimed blows at opponents
chins.
With the ong-drawn-out battle
enveloped in semidarkness toward
the end, Columbia was caught on
two or three plays with only 10 men
on the field and Syracuse followers
tore down the Lion goal post with
more than a minute of the contest
remaining as the fans booed loudly
But the Lions had long since seweo
up their fifth straight triumph on
two touchdown passes by Gene Ros-
sides, who also had two others nulli-
fled by penalties, and two scoring
line smashes by Fullback Ventar
Yablonski, playing his last game fol
the Light Blue along with nine other
men.

Prince Georges Country Club Will
sponsor its second annual National
Capital Open golf tournament next
spring, Pro AL Houghton announced
last night, but it will be at least a
$4,000 venture by request of the
Professional Golfers Association.
Houghton said the tournament,
originated last year when Lloyd
Mangrum won the 72-hole grind
with a 19-under- par 269, probably
would inaugurate the summer pro
tour.
The busy Prince Georges overseer
said the decision to go ahead with
the tournament was reached by the
clubs committee after assurance
was received from officials of the
"Celebrities Tournament" also in
augurated last year, that it would
not conflict with the professional
affair.
Houghton said he thought sched-
uling them so closely together last
year hurt the National Capital Open
the only tournament that brings
the top-ranking pros to this area
He said the increased cost of stag
ing the National Capital made il
imperative that it must have the
right of way.

homa and Kansas tied for the Big
Six football title today, the Okla
homans beating Nebraska here, IA
to 13 and Kansas trimming Missouri,
20 to IA, to leave the pair dead
locked at four conference wins and a
tie each.
Oklahoma capitalized on two Ne
braska misplays for the Sooner vic
tory.
The Sooners' kicked off short to
open the second half. but Nebraska
failed to cover the ball and substi-
tute back George Thomas recovered
on the Nebraska %.
A penalty set the Huskers back
5 yards and five plays later Okla
homa had the touchdown that was
to prove the winning margin.
Charles Saratt rambled to the ID.
Ed Kreick pounded to the 2 in two
smashes and Thomas piled into the
end zone.
Dave Wallace came in to try for
the point.
The kick was good, but the Husk-
ers were holding. Oklahoma refused
the penalty and took the point for
a 14-to-6 lead.
Nebraska came right back with
a touchdown to slash that to IA to
13. Dick Hutton ran the kickoff
back "a yards and a roughing
penalty against Oklahoma on the
play put the ball on the Sooner Al.
The Huskers ran down to the q,
then turned to a Dick Thompson-to-
End Alex Cochrane pass for the
touchdown. Sub Bob Patton
kicked the point.
Both the other scoring sorties were
packed into the second period, Ne
braska putting across the first punch
for a 6 to lead.
Fast, Shifty Cletus Fischer was
the author of that touchdown. He
grabbed a Darrell Royal Pass and
scampered IS yards over the goal
But Oklahoma wasted no time
wiping out that lead. The Sooners
took the kickoff and from their 26
powered over. Saratt, with a 30
yard run and Thomas with a 25-
yard sprint. led the way down to the
IA. Two plays later Thomas shot
through the line into the end zone
on an 11-yard plunge. Wallace

National Capital Open Boosts
Purse for Second Tourney

I'VE have no choice IN the matter
Of dates" Houghton explained. The
PGA gives us a date and we must
take it or leave it. If we could put
it on later in the summer we would
be glad to do it, but we can't. The
Celebrities, on the other hand. can
60 when they choose. We want to
cooperate with them and we need
their cooperation, and I'm happy
we've been able to reach an agree
ment."
Cost of staging the National Capt.
tai will be approximately $4,000,
the pro said. The PGA insisted or
a $4,000 purse-an increase Of
S.. 1000, because expenses Of the golf
ers have gone up. The fattened
kitty would add about $500 to the
winners pot and will enable the
tournament to offer more prizes for
contestants below the 20 men who
ordinarily finish in the money.
Without this inducement, he said,
many of the lesser lights would be
unable to come here for the tourna-
ment.
The PGA is insisting on increased
purses for all tournaments, Hough-
ton added. He thinks the smallest
prize list next year will be $4,000
and that all will up the ante.
