Union Head
Objects To
The Raise

CHICAGO (NNPA) - Willard
Townsend, president of the United
Transport Service Employees, a
CIO organization of Red Caps, was
bitter last Friday in denouncing
the action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission PEI mi t t n G
twelve Eastern railroads to hike
the fee for Red Cap service from
Is to Is cents a bag.
"When the porter has to make
a charge for every bag or bundle
he said, people give no tips; they
complain and grumble and think
the union is responsible. But the
union has fought this thing since
it started, and we couldn't get any
where with the I.C.C., which has
the authority to fix the rates."
Mr.. Townsend declared that once
the Red Caps were popular figures
in railroad stations, with a will
ingness to win tips that he said
were their reward. His union, he
asserted, had opposed the fee sys-
tenn when it was first presented
under the Federal Wage and Hour
Law, which set a minimum for
earnings of porters in 1910.
In those days the fee was set
at 10 cents bag and porters were
paid about $2.4O in daily wages.
They had to turn in the fees they
collector, but might keep what
ever tips they could get. In 1947,
again over the protest of the union
and other labor leaders, the fee
was raised to Is cents a bag, and
again tips fell.
Early this year, Mr.. Townsend
said, railroad applications were fill
ed with the I.C.C. to permit an
increase to Is cents an item in
Columbus, Ohio, Cincinnati, In
dianoplis and Washington. The un-

DR.. Mordecai Johnson, Howard
University prexy, not only de-
stroyed the efficiency of Howard
football teams, but he also robbed
the traditional Howard-Lincoln
Thanksgiving Day game of much
fits glamor, when he stopped
recruiting and proselyting and put
football at Howard on a strictly
amatuer basis.
Before M. j., Howard-Lincoln
games were big social events. The
upper drawer set and Howard and
Lincoln grads from all over the
United States attended.
Under the system, socialites in
Washington entertained socialites
from Philadelphia when the game
was played in Washington, and
vice versa when the game was
played in Philly. They also had
guests from New York, Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit, and other
places.
They were strictly invitational
pre-game dances, breakfasts dances
dinner parties, and after-the-game
dances. But none of these Shindigs
now accompany Howard-Lincoln
games on a scale comparable to
that which prevailed before MI.
My New York informant reports
that Mayor Vincent Impellitteri,
of New York City, spoke fifteen
times in Harlem during the mayor
atty campaign, while Ferdinand
Pecora, the regular Democratic
candidate, spoke only twice to
Harlem audiences. The day before
the election Impellitterri walked
up and down Lenox Avenue, stop
ping in dirty bars, buying drinks
for himself, and sitting in shoe
shine chair on the corner of 126th
and Lenox for a shine.
