)eny Jackie Robinson Strike Plan
Railway Dining
Car Regulations
Are Hit

dSIllIiStOil, IL ~ Lie ulIllAS
car regulation of the Southern
Railway, reserving one table be-
hind a curtain for the exclusive
use of colored passengers, is more
disadvantage and discriminatory
than the regulation is replaced.
This contention is made by Bel
ford V. Lawson, attorney for Will
mer w. Henderson, recently APP
pointed executive secretary of the
National Council for a Permanent
Fair Employment Practice Com
mission.
Mr.. Lawson last Monday filed
with the Interstate Commerce Co
mission exceptions to the proposed
report of Walter D. McCloud, an
ICC examiner, who found that the
new regulation conforms with the
principles announced by the Unit
ed States District Court for the
district of Maryland.
Mr.. Henderson sued in the fed
eral court to set aside a finding
of the Commission that the failure
of the Southern to furnish dining
car service to him while he was
travelling On May II, 1912, from
Washington to Atlanta subjected
his to undue and unreasonable pre-
JUDGE and disadvantage, but that
no basis was shown for an award
of damages and that the dining
car regulations then in effect
would not result in any substan-
tial inequality in treatment be-
tween colored and white passen-
gers seeking dining car service.
The federal court renamed the
case to the Commission for fur
Their hearing. 1t denounced the prac-
tice of allowing white passengers
to eat at the Jim Crow takle and
not allowing colored passengers
to dine at other tables when the
Jim Crow table was occupied and
held that equality of treatment re-
auired the service of colored pes
sengers at any vacant seat in the
dining car when the Jim Grow
table was occupied.
In the brief in support Of his
exceptions Mr.. Lawson argues that
the new regulation does not con-
for mwith national policy which
requires single, uniform rule
covering seating arrangements in
interstate travel.
The doctrine of substantial eq-
uality,' says Mr.. Lawson, is spec
ious' and, in fact, is never achiev-
ed. He maintains that segregation
itself is discrimination and chould
be abolished so that the practice
on dining cars will conform with
the national policy.
Mr.. Lawson relies upon the de-
cision in the Irene Morgan case,
in which the United States Sup
rene Court struck down the Vir-
ginia law requiring colored rns-
sengers to seat themselves in the
rear Of buses travelling interstate.

u. S. Shot Through
And Through With
Race PREF udice


ed States is "shot through and
through" with race prejudice which
rests on conquest, occupational
segregation and the "you work, ]
eat" formula, DR.. Scott Nearing,
international lecturer declared
here last Sunday.
Speaking On the subject. "The
Economic Basis of Race Prejudice"
DR.. Nearing said that land own
ership and occupational and income
differences are the basis of such
prejudice, and those who would
work for cooperation and fellow
feeling among human beings can
not afford to neglect these econ.
omic factors.
DR.. Nearing told radio audience
that when Americans discuss such
an abstract question as the econ
on1ic basis of race prejudice they
always use the word, "they" in re
ferring to other countries, as if
this country would never be gull
ty of the conquest, subjugation
and exploitation of it's weaker nei-
ghhors.
Before you flatter yourselves
on this point" he suggested "plea-
Sc recollect that the white Eur
open drove the red Indians of
NoNrth America into concentration
camps, enslaved the red Indians
of South America, organized a
continent wide slave in Africa,
transported millions off black
men and women across the Allan
tic and forced them to do the
heavy dirty work of the Western
Hemisphere"
The lines that separate the ex.
rloiters from the exploited are not
always racial, he declared.
within almost every human
group the master-slave relation.
ship is encountered in one form
or another" he said. "But where
color, or SINE physical character
istic des mark IF the master FIRM
the slave, it is utilized t the full.
ct enables the job owner to
drive the job taker mercilessly and
allows the exploited job taker to
hate along lines marked off by
physical characteristics"
DR.. Nearing said the ownership
occupational income divisions be-,
tween human beings not only div
ide communities against themsel--
YES and thus concentrate attention
o ndifferences, controversy and
conflicts, but they also divert at.
tention fro mlikenesses, common
purposes and cooperation.
He said they are therefore waste
full of human energy and of mat.
erial wealth.
''They divide" he concluded
"where the urgent need is for
unity"
DR.. Nearing spoke on the Am.

who warned they'd better not try

Their romance reached something

Miss Day a divorce from Ray Hen

stop it, saying he questioned its
legality.
Judge Dockweiler was more than

"If she is dissatisfied with the di-

it aside" he told newsmen.
This would place Miss Days new
marriage under a shadow in Cali

until he and Miss Day could talk
