SUNSHINE"
BY Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

Hello there, here and every
where. It does get cold here. These
cool, crisp mornings remind us of
back home. Oh! how I hate to get
up in the morning-or maybe I
hate to, get up, period" I seem
to always be "tired," or maybe I
was just born that way. Well our
beautiful Lena Horne has sailed
for London, Paris and other cities
abroad. She says she hopes she
doesn't meet with Jim crow and
predjudice over there as she has
here. She must remember prophet
is never honored at home until he
has gone away and returned.
Sometimes not then. Remember
the case of Marion Anderson in
our Nations Capitol and the OAR
We are being told to save food,
share food etc. How can we, with
prices as they are? We realize the
conditions of other countries but
I'm wondering if we realize the
conditions of our own homeland;
even here in Arizona. Take the
Indians, for example, the only true,
real Americans starving and dying
from the lack of medical atten-
tion-Take the example of the
little white girl out in Sunnyslope,

men of Roanoke, kicked off a
passenger fireman, took his case
to the courts and fought it through
all stages.
Job right upheld
The Supreme Court, in upholding
Turnstall, held that he had a prop
erty right in his job, that this right
is violated by exclusion from Rob-
ertson's Brotherhood and no say in
negotiations. The contract, there
fore, was ruled in effect illegal.
With his property right established,
Tunstall, took his case once more
along the tedious legal path and
sued the Brotherhood for damages,
for restoration of his old job and
the privileges that go with it.
He won these plus a $1,000 dam
age award in the Federal District
Court of Virginia and last week the
court was upheld in the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Thousands of Negro railroad
workers in Tunstall's boat, are
now eligible to file suits. Many
years of struggle against white
supremacy in the railroad unions
appear to have brought at least
some legal success. Some have
already filed suits.
Many victories
JimcroW in labor ranks has re-
ceived a great deal Of knocking
around in recent years. In Cali
fornia State Supreme Court
forced the boilermakers to abandon
completely a ban upon Negroes.
The New York Railway Mail As
sociation defied national leaders,
took in Negroes, and even made
them officers. The national leaders
of the union fought for their
Hitler-like constitution in court and
were turned down in Supreme
Court. The Garment Union re-
ceived a similar black eye in a
Kansas court.
But the reactionaries, entrenched
in the BrotherhoodS, Machinists
and similar unions, aren't so ready
to bow to court decisions they don't
like. They are powerful and re-
sourceful. They have two tricks
ready for every one they must
abandon. A court victory only helps
the fight against them.
fundamentally, the interest of
the Negro railroader emergeS with

together with victims Of other

There is no stinting, no red
tape attached to help given through
the National Foundation and its
local chapters" the local March
of Dimes chairman explained.
Everyone is treated alike and

the light of all in those unions who
want to modernize and democratize
the railroad organizations.
Unfortunately, the many Negro
groups throughout the South are
scattered, and each is on its own.
1t seems to me that if they united,
or at least coordinated their ef-
fort, they would have more
strength behind their effort and
many white friends in the affected
unions would be more impressed
by the fight they are waging.

 "We believe and our Catholic faith teaches he said, that Negroes and all other persons belonging to so-called minorities are redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ and that their souls are as precious in His sight as are those of all other Ameri- cans. Christian teaching re- quires governments to treat all citizens as equals and to re- move whatever economic in justices one group imposes upon another.

NO REST FOR THE DEAD

occasionally our rules, regula- tions, cutoms and traditions not only inconvenience the liv- ing but encroach upon the peace and quietude of the dead.
 A few days ago ths happened to fantastic degree. The local and national papers carried the story of the death of a Vice Ad- miral And in line with our custom and tradition this Vice Admiral was to be buried in the Arlington Cemetery that is held sacred for military and naval celebrities above a certain rank. 'i
 At the same time that this distinguished characted died, maiden lady of Jewish extrac- tion also passed away in Wash ington. But there was no spe- .cial notice of her death beyond the cursory newspaper state ment that is made about the death of any ordinary citizen.
 The day for the burial of the Vice Admiral came and his bier was lowered in the soil of the Arlington Cemtery with all the military solemnity, that in cluded taps and the firing of rifles. And those in attendance returned to their respective homes.
 In Hartford the friends of the Jewish lady who had died felt that inasmuch as she had been a very devout orthodox, that she should be given a proper funeral. And her friends and acquaintances assembled as the undertakers and the casket was opened. But much to the gen. eral consternation of the folk assembled the body was not that of their friend but that of the distinguished Admiral. Which meant that the body of the maiden lady had been inferred in the sacred soil of Arlington Cemetery amidst military pomp and ceremony.
 Now in order to right this wrong it entails more than a mere transfer of bodies, but the matter has to be brought to the attention of Congress and a spe- cial dispensation secured.

Income Gains

There was, of course, a great
increase in incomes during the war
but studies show that the largest
gains centered in the Midwestern
and Southern farm states. 1t should
be remembered, however, that a
gain in income for these states
does not mean that their average
income is anywhere near that of
the weather. states of the union.
For example, South Dakota is
credited with a 200 per cent gain
in income payments to individuals,
while New Jerseys increase was
1913 per cent. The total income of
South Dakota, however, is $780,
