The Association fights racial
segregation and discrimination
wherever they appear, always
working within the constitutional
framework Of our democracy. It
seeks enactment of legislation pro-
tecting the rights of minority
groups, and resorts to legal action
wherever these rights are in
fringed, winning precedent-setting
court decisions breaking down bar
riers to equality. The NAACP
also appeals to public opinion in
and educational campaign against
bigotry.

Bargaining agents who enjoy
the advantages Of the Railway
Labor Acts provisions must exc
cute their trust without lawless
invasions of the right Of other
workers, Justice Black declared,
adding:
eve agree with the Court of
Appeals that the District Court
had jurisdiction to protect these
workers from the racial discrimi-
nation practiced against them"
Howard originally brought suit
to enjoin the Frisco and the Broth
erhood Of Railroad Trainmen from
abolishing the train porter" jobs
and from hiring white brakemen
to replace them pursuant to an
agreement Of March T, 1916, be-
tween the Frisco and the BRIT.
All Duties
Colored employees of the Frisco
called train porters" actually per-
formed all the duties Of white
"brakemen. The BRIT, bargaining
representative of "Brakemen" I'M
der the Railway Labor Act, had
for years used its influence in an
attempt to eliminate colored train
men and get their jobs for white
men who, unlike colored train
porters", were or could be mem
bers Of the BRIT.
By the agreement Of March 7,
1916, the BRIT finally forced the
Frisco to agree to discharge the
colorer train porters" and fill
their jobs with white men who, I'M
der the agreement, would do less
work but get more pay.
Under this agreement, effective
April /, 1916, Howard and other
"train porters' were personally
notified to turn in their switch
keys, lanterns, markers and other
brakemen's equipment, and notices
of job vacancies were posted to be
bid in by white brakemen only.

The District Court held that the
complaint raised questions which
Congress by the Railway Labor
Act had made subject to the ex-
elusive jurisdiction Of the National
Mediation Board and the National
Railroad Adjustment Board.
The District Court, however, en-
joined the Frisco from abolishing
the position of train porter" UNI
der the notices given, on the
ground that these notices were in
sufficient to meet the requirements
Of the Railway Labor Act.
The Court of Appeals, in an
unanimous opinion, affirmed the
decree of the trial court with re-
spect to the invalidity of the
notices, but held that the agree
ment of March 7, 1916. was an
"attempted predatory appropria-
ton" of the train porters" Jobs,
which was to this extent illegal
and unenforceable.
1t ordered the railroad to deep
the train porters" as employees
and permitted the railroad and the
brotherhood to treat the agree
ment as valid on condition that the
railroad would recognize the color
ed train porters" as members of
the craft of "brakemen" and that
the BRIT would fairly represent
them as such.

The majority opinion pointed
out that the train porters are
threatened with loss of their Jobs
because they are not white and for
no other reason. The jobs they did
hold under its old name would be
abolished by the agreement; their

for the old job under its new

WRECK OF THE BRITISH
VIRGINIA, MAY 2, 1900

The fourth disaster of the year
in the vicinity of Cape Hatteras,
within the scope of the operations
of the Life Saving Service and
attended by loss of life, was the
wreck of the British steamship
Virginia, which str a n d e d and
broke up at once on the Outer
Diamond Shoals, Wednesday after
noon, May 2, 1900.
The Virginia was steel vessel
of 1914 tons burden bound from
Daiquiri, Cuba, to Baltimore, Md,
with a cargo of iron ore and was
in charge of Captain Charles
Samuels of London, England. Her
crew, all told, comprised twenty
four men, and there was also on
board one stowaway.
About two o'clock PM, of the
day of the wreck the captain, being
aware that he was approaching the
latitude of Cape Hatteras, caused
the lead to be thrown, and finding
no bottom at so fathoms, changed
his course to northwest by west
and proceeded on his way. The
wind was light from the northwest
and the sea was rather rough,
while the weather was hazy, re-
sembling fog, and consequently
objects were not visible at any
considerable distance. For three
hours and half the lead was cast
the steamer held her course, hav-
ing neither seen nor heard any
