Fired for Organizing
His struggle with the Pull
man Company began in 1925 when
he founded the Brotherhood and
called in A.. Phillip Randolph
(now president of the BSCP) to
help him with the organizing. Mr.
Randolph, at that time, was editor
of the Messenger magazine.

reason that we brought in Mr.
Randolph. We saw at the begin

more effective"
What had interested him in
starting a union for the porters,

covered that the Pullman Com
pany was placing the burden of
responsibility on the travelling
public to pay in tips the wages of
the employees. The injustice of
that started me-" was his reply.
That the wages were nominal
was evident to us when Mr.. Tot
ten pointed out that the most a
porter could make in a month at.
that time was $67.50. However,
this depended on the number Of
trips, and deductions had to be-
made for group insurance uni
forms. polish, brushes and a place
to sleep at the end of a trip.

ALMOST AS QUICKLY as julius Krug resigned as Sec
rotary OF the Department of Interior, President Truman ap-
pointed Oscar L. Chapman to fill the post. Fortunately for us
the change will not affect us adversely, the new Secretary be-
ing acquainted with the Islands and their problems.
THESE ISLANDS occupy the peculiar position of hav-
ing to shuttle between the Department of the Interior and
the Bureau of the Budget, and that at times becomes quite a
headache for us. 1t is the position which all civilian Governors
have had to take, and one which perhaps has had more effect
on their popularity than anything else. A sympathetic chief of
interior, with knowledge of the Islands is therefore very i'm
portant.
KNOWING H work of the Department Of the Inter
ior for tn elaSt Is years, and in all its aspects, Secretary Chap
man should be able to help bring about a number of the meas
ureS for which we have fought so long and hard. As the only
group without a Resident Commissioner in Washington, it is
about time that official recognition be had of the fact, and
some work done in that direction. And it is our hope that Mr..
Chapman, fresh in his new Job, will see the a~dvisabiity and
! opportunity to help push the measure. Then there is some
thing else. The Department of the Interior has at times en-
countered difficulty with Congress in securing all funds re-
quested for projects and functioning, and an official who
knows his way around the Capital city can be very effective.
IT IS NATURAL that the news Of the appointment Of
Mr.. Chapman will be welcome in these parts, for while we
, knew MI. Krug and his interests in the Islands, and thus re-
greet his departure, it is encouraging that his successor is one
who knows and understands, and has shown his concern. We
look to Mr.. Chapman for even bigger things.

0utIawed Burma Fighters
Seize Town Near Rangoon
BY the Associated Press

RANGOON, Burma, April g.
Two hundred armed fighters Of the
Peoples. Volunteer Organization
have seized control of the town OF
Dalla, directly across the Rangoon
River from the capital.
Official sources confirmed today
that the PVO-which has beeen
aiding government troops in fight
ing rebellious Karen tribesmen--
has seized control OF Dalla.
(The dispatch. filed through
censorship, did not say how
seriously the government re-
garded this latest challenge to
It's authority. The. PVO was
outlawed last year but In re-
cent weeks it had co-operated
with government forces in some
areas against the Karens)
According to Dalla residents who
fed across the river to Rangoon,
about 200 PVO fighters attacked
the Dalla police station Thursday
night. They were reported to have
seized arms and ammunition there
and then gained over control OF
the entire town as police withdrew.

Federal Courts Bar
Rents Suits TotaIinq
Less Than $1,000

PHILADELPHIA. April a.
Tenants cannot use the Federal
Courts to sue landlords for rent
refunds or treble damages unless
the claim amounts to at least
f, $1,000, the United States Third
Court Of Appeals ruled today.
The three-judge opinion in the
case OF William Fields. Jersey City
/ tenant, directed that claims under
$4,000 should be filed in State
courts.
The decision will affect scores
of suits filed by tenants in the
Federal Courts of Pennsylvania.
New Jersey and Delaware and may
set a national precedent.
Changed by 1947 Law.
Judge Albert B. Maris. who with
Judges John j. O'Connell and
Harry E. Kalodner heard the case,
pointed out that the 1947 rent law
stripped the Federal Courts of
some Of the authority they had
when rents were controlled by
the Office of Price Administration
Under the OPA law, Judge Maris
said that in the courts unanimous
opinion, Federal Courts had CON
current jurisdiction with State
and territorial courts" A tenant
thus had the choice of selecting
the tribunal for instituting suit.
But under the 1947 law, Judge
Maris explained such suits are ad-
Missile in any Federal. State or
territorial court of competent
Jurisdiction" He added that the
amount sued for must be at least
$1,000, the statutory amount gen.
eral Federal law requires be in
volved in a civil suit tried In q
Federal Court.
Penalty Cases Accepted. -
Judge Maris further pointed out
that the Federal Housing Ex-
pediter still can enter suits in
United States courts against land
lords because his claims would be
for penalties as distinguished from
those of private parties for dam
ages.
In the case before the court, Mr..
Fields brought suit against Estelle
e. Washington, Jersey City, for
alleged overcharges of $50 a month
on a $25 a month suite. He also
sought $672 in treble damages.
Federal District Judge William
F.. Smith dismissed the suit last
January 3 on the ground the
Federal Court had no jurisdiction
in the case.
The Circuit Court confirmed his
ruling.

gravediggers at Calvary Cemetery

. About 800 members of the
United Cemetery Workers local,
to which the strikers belong, voted
unanimously last night to with
draw from the Food, Tobacco and
. Agricultural Workers of America.
Joseph Manning, the local S
president, said the action "elim-
mates any suspicion" OF COM
munism as an issue in the dispute
which has resulted m accumula-
ton of more than 1000 bodies at
the big Catholic cemetery IN
Queens in the last eight weeks.
The local, which also represents
workers at 16 other cemeteries,
voted to affiliate with the AFL
Building Service Employees Inter-
national Union, Mr.. Manning said.
The local has $500 members.
of which 800 were present at the
closed meeting last night.
About $50, all Catholics, are in
yolved in the strike at Calvary
Cemetery, where Cardinal Spell
man for the fifth day yesterday
led seminary students and priests
through picket lines to bury the
dead.
There was no immediate COM
ment on the unions realignment
from Cardinal SDellman.

He added that the fact that
Miss Gillars was in love with the
late Prof. Max Otto KoischWitz
and that he was in love with her
is not a sufficient excuse in this
connection.
He also said the fact that
KoiSchWitz was described by the
defense as a dynamic personality
who exercised an influence over
her "is not sufficient.
And fear that she might be
sent to concentration camp is
not sufficient" he said.
judge Curran ruled that Miss
Gillars was an American citizen
and owed allegiance to this coun-
try at the time she broadcast for
the German propaganda machine.
He recalled that Miss Glllars
had signed a stipulation acknoWl-
edging that she was an American
citizen at all times.
The judge recalled that her
passport was taken up by a United
States vice consul in Berlin in
1910. He said this was not suttl-
cient to show she lost her Amer
lean citizenship.
