Lost Device Used
To Segregote
Negro Roilrood
Men Knocked Out


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. IN
NPA) = The Fourth United States
Circuit Court of Appeals last
Thursday apparently knocked out
the last device through which the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen hoped to
drive colored firemen out of rail-
road employment.
1t held void the agreement be-
tween the brotherhood and south
eastern carriers, dated February
1S, 1941, which Disseminated
against colored firemen as mon
promotable" and by which they
were deprived of their seniority
rights, replaced on the more de-
sirable runs by white or prom
otable" firemen, and then assigned
to more arduous and difficult
work with longer hours in yard
service.
In ain opinion written by Chief
Judge John j. Parker, the court
declared that 'the record in the
case makes clear that the agree
ment of February 18, 1941, was
obtained in the course Of a cam
paign which had been continued
by the brotherhood for number
of years to eliminate Negro fire
men from the service of the rail-
road.
The decision was handed down
in an appeal from the judgment
of the Federal District Court at
Richmond, Virginia, dismissing the
suit on the ground that the colored
firemen were insisting upon full
equality in reaping the benefits
of seniority while resisting efforts
of the brotherhood from effecting
equality.
Judge Sterling Hutcheson, who
dismissed the suit in the trial
court, has a suit to enjoin the
brotherhood from entering into an
agreement with the carriers pro-
viding that colored firemen should
be given promotional examinations,
and, if they failed, were to be dis
missed from their employment.
On this point, Judge Parker said
discrimination against Negro en-
ployees cannot be sustained mer-
ly because it purports to be based
on promotability, which is itself
based on race"
Continuing, Judge Parker said:
1.-The fact that the railroads have
Disseminated against Negroes in
the matter of promotability does
not justify the brotherhood, which
represents them as bargaining
agent, in making further dis
elimination based on that dis
elimination.
Because the railroads do not
permit Negroes to hold the posi-
ton of engineer is no reason why
a bargaining agent representing
them should use it's bargaining
power to deprive them of desir-
able positions as firemen which
the railroads do permit them to
hold"
The court said it did not think
that the action of the colored fire
men seeking an injunction in the
District of Columbia was any
grounds for denying them relief
against the discriminatory provi-
sions of the contract of February
18, 1941. "On the contrary" the
court said, 1--WE think that the
circumstances which led up to the
obtaining of that contract fur
nishes conclusive proof of the hos
tility of the brotherhood"
Judge Parker pointed out in the
opinion that most of the colored
firemen remaining in the service
of southeastern carriers are COM

His haunting words cut her like

THAT is your engagement ring

Certainly. Isn't it big enough?"

Sherry knew that society pages
are made up early in the day, and
that some one, she presumed
leither Lucille or her father, had
given the announcement to the
paper hours before the party.
She could see clever planning in
every move. And poor Carl the
goat in everything!
She heard Dru singing in her

the paper. They read the notice,
together.
Somebody isn't overlooking a
Ibet." Dru said.
Then Sherry told her about her
experiences the night before. How
she had waited outside the gate
and saw Lucille leave to join Gale
then hours later saw them both
return.
''You had your nerve. out there

That's what Lucille said"
What else did she say?
"A lot. She offered me $500.
Dru whistled.
