Farmers Union Edged
At WOrland In Ninth

Games proved to be just one in
ming to long at the recently played
Montana Wyoming semi-pro base
ball series. The Farmers Union
dropped the first two games to the
Worland Indians, both in the ninth
inning.
| In the first game Mike Peckovich
was on top 2 to 1, with but three
hits when going into the last in
ming. After striking out the first
man everything happened and the
Farmers Union went down 6 to 2.
Jack Troseth lined out a double that
was followed by two o doubles,
a walk and a home run. Laurel
had gone out in front with two
runs in the third inning and Wor-
lands Chuck Harkins scored by way
of a home run in the fifth.
The second game, delayed for an
hour by rain, saw Hoffman, on the
mound for Laurel and Worland's
ace left-hander, Jack Slime, pitching
for Worland. In a game that fol-
lowed the pattern of the first as
far as good baseball is concerned
saw the game tied up at three each,
going into the ninth.
Laurel failed to score in its half
and Worland opened with a double.
With one out and two on, the bases
were Intentionally loaded. The
second mar was forced out at home
and Davis then lined a hot %grounder
to short, but the relay to second
was too late and the second game
was over.
The third game was played under
the arcs, but was rained out in
the sixth after the scoreboard read
S to 5.
A return series is in the offing
for these two clubs late in August
or early in September.

NO More Jim CrOU Rides To Dixie Railroad Agent Says

ity for this policy rests partly with the Pennsylvania Railroad, because it's ticket sellers assign the reservations on these trains, it is said.
 Leaflets Distributed
 In connection with an Interra- cial Workshop held in New York the weekend of May IA, leaflets exposing the alleged practice were distributed outside the station. The leaflet quoted the Civil Rights Law of New York State and the Irene Morgan decision of the Su- preme Court as legal evidence challenging this alleged discrim- inatory policy.
 "Since the Pennsylvania Railroad does not force the segregation pat tern," MT. Houser said, Negroes should request to be seated in oth- CT than segregated cars when travelling on a reserved train into the South" Any Negro who has a complaint against the Pennsyl- vania Railroad is urged to contact the Fellowship of Reconciliation, by writing 1929 Broadway.

Well, JamalcanS were caught III the middle of all this cycle of events. They were warmly received by some and yet treated with suspicion by others; some would work with them others would not; some would so- cialise with them others would not. This worried them a little but they stuck to the job they came here to do.
 This un-Christian-like race pre- judice termed Jim Crowism" was something new to Jamaicans. AL though some of them read about such things the majority did not. And, in fact, on the whole it was something entirely new and em- barassing to run right smack into.
 Always mindful of their childhood teachings that God made man in His own image, in the image of God created Him; male and fe- male created He them," Jamaicans could not understand why some men were treated as interiors.
 Many heart-sickening and revolt ing actions were meted out to them in the South and it is Interesting to know that many are the times that Jamaicans took the bull by the horns and got in places that were "out of bounds" for Negroes. In these, shall we say, barrier break ing campaigns, Jamaicans noticed that after some of these self-stlyed and self-appointed superior-race- baiters learned that they were not Americans but foreigners, every thing would be alright. Where upon, Jamaicans took this and other opportunities to let these people know that although we are not Americans yet we are still Negroes and Men.
 Jamaicans of necessity worked alongside many men and women of different nationalities and were able to see the many and various re- actions of people tolerating one an- other, enjoying one another, dis trusting one another. But because of a war which everyone was di- rectly or indirectly assisting to come to a successful end, individual feel ings were bottled and corked.
 When the war was over they noticed that this same Hate bottle was being uncorked.
 They notice now that some white persons do not wish to work along side a Negro, the frowning of the whites whenever they see Negro boys and girls playing with white boys and girls, the changing of seats in theatres, buses and trains when a Negro takes a seat, the railroading and channelling of Ne groes in the lesser and menial jobs, 'the last hired and the first fired" campaign against Negroes, the polite Sorry, the vacancy has been filled already" the turned-up noses and the disdainful looks given the Negro. They too notice many other small but deliberate and embarass- ing incidents and wonder if the Lords command to Love ye one another" has been said in vain to mankind.
 Janlaicans found some of the colored people of America at first unfriendly, because of the false tales being told them by some unscrup- ulus persons deliberately trying to set Negroes against Negroes. These

Says

NEW YORK-Homes Barnard, general passenger agent for the New York office of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad, has announced that any Negro travelling South on a reserved coach train can ride on other than seat in a jim-crow car if he request it, it was reported this week by George M. Houser, member of the RacialIndustrial Department of the Fellowship of Reconciliation.
 It is reported that the state ment attributed to the railroad official was made to MT. Houser and to Margaret Dukler of the Congress of Racial Equality, dur ing a meeting held last week with MT. Barnard and Otto Buerger, an attorney for the railroad.
 Complaints
 MT. Houser was acting upon com plaints made by Negroes that they were allegedly segregated into one coach behind the engine on south bound reserved coach trains and upon observations which reported ly were made of the set-up of these trains when they left Pennsylvania Station in New York.
 Miss Dukler's observation, re portedly has revealed that each of the three railroads sending these trains into the South from Pennsylvania Station (Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line and Southern Railway, allegedly is discrimination on it's re- served coach trains. Responsibil-
