braking work on the head-end, if
white brakeman was added to
the crew on the head-end to do
the braking work, there would not
be work enough to justify keeping
the transporter and he would be
out of luck and out of his Job.
This is what the BRIT intends,
but it may have been so smart it
may find itself tied up and shared
in its own trap, because the Con-
stitution of the United States pre-
vents a state legislature from pas
sing a bill discriminating against
Negroes because of race or color
Therefore as soon as the bill is en-
acted into law the Association of
Colored Railway Trainmen and
Locomotive Fircmen will get into
court and demand that since the
law must be construed in consti-
tutional manner. the Negro train
porter who does all the functional
work of a brakeman should be
counted and classified as a brake
man and considered as an es-
sential part of the crew, because
the law can only regard the work
10 hA eli -
the workman.
This bill may be the missing
link in the chain to have the
Negro transporter recognized as a
full-fledged brakeman. Once he is
recognized as a full-fledgCd brake
man the Negro will be in position
to make a lot of demands on the
BRIT which he is not in position to
make now. These demands may be
so pressing that the BRIT may
move to offer him membership in
order to control him.
It is certain the BRIT never
thought of these possibilities when
it had the so-called full crew bill
introduced. When it wakes up to
the implications of the full-crew
law and how it may be used if
the Negro trainportcrs are smart
enough, it may want to disown its
brain child and ask the Missouri
legislature to lay off and let well
enough alone.

The Association of Colored Rail.
way Trainmen and Locomotive
Ffrement stopped the BRIT from
displacing the Negro trainporters
on the Frisco by three injunctions
obtained in the Federal court and
the Missouri state court in st
Louis.
The reason the BRIT wants the
Negro trainporters jobs is be-
cause the change in railroad OPP
erations resulting from introduc,
ton of high speed streamlined
passenger trains and high speed
diesel engine freight trains has en-
abled the railroads to haul one
third more passengers and one
third more freight with one third
less crews. This has thrown a lot
of white brakemen out of work.
The Negro transporter does all
the braking work on the head
end Of the passenger trains, and
the only reason he il not called
brakeman Is on account Of his
color. The BRIT sees these Negro
Jobs as jobs where II can place
Its white members II 1t can get
the Negroes out.
Since the BRIT has been stopped
in the courts, it is now turning to
the state legislatures for help.
This month the BRIT caused a So
called full-crew bill to be intro
duced in the Missouri state legis-
lature. Among other things the
bill would force the railroads to
man every passenger train over
three cars long, which runs in Mis-
souri,, with a crew consisting of an
engineer, a fireman, a conductor
and two brakemen or one brake
man and one flagman. Up to the
present these passenger trains
have been manned by a crew con-
sisting OF an engineer. a fireman,
conductor, a flagman and a
transporter. All the crew except
the transporter is white. The BRIT
thru this full-crew bill is trying to
make the entire crew white by dis
placing the Negro transporter
with a white brakeman. And since
the Negro transporter does all the
