more than a four-fold wage in-|
crease, plus all the other bene-
fits not previously enjoyed by
American porters.
But if the Brotherhood's role
in the labor union is important,
its leadership in the general
area of social relations is per-
haps more significant to the lar
ger community of American Ne
groes. Perhaps most memorable
is the role played by Mr.. Ran
dolph and the Brotherhood in
and other minorities in the mem
orable March on Washington"
Until 1910, Randolph and other
Brotherhood leaders had been
quietly pushing for equal job
opportunities for ! minority
groups. After scores of fruitless
conferences and an equal num-,
Der of promises by government
officials, Randolph became con-
vinced that bold and dramatic
action was at last necessary. To
dramatize the needs of the Ne
gro worker, he planned and or
ganized the famous "March" on
the White House, a quiet yet
massive demonstration which
brought to the front page Of
every American newspaper the
Negroes plight
AS a result, President Roose-
welt signed the historic Execu-
tive Order 1902, which prohibits
discrimination in hiring in all
interstate commerce and in all
enterprises under contract with
the federal government. At last,
the door had been opened with
the first FEP law in history.
The Brotherhood, joining forces
with other groups, then proceed
ed to press the fight for federal
and state FEPC laws, meeting
with increasing success in recent
years.
In labor circles, in fact, it
reached the point where FEPC,
the Brotherhood and IA. Philip
Randolph had become almost
synonymous.
Less recognized but as import
ant are the other victories
gained in the general field of
race relations and labor. The
Brotherhood is responsible fol
eliminating Negroes as source
! for "scab-labor" for big busin-
esses which are still trying to
smash organized labor. Because
] of the Brotherhood's efforts, Ne
gro labor has been transformed
from an unorganized, amorphous
group, accepting it's inevitable
"second-class" status, to a mill
tant, dignified force, with con-
solidated power to operate in
the labor market and through
the labor movement.
And the Brotherhood has con-
tinually remained in the fore
front of the crusade to eliminate
racial discrimination in the labor
movement. While not solved, the
! great strides that have already
been made are due in large mea-
sure to the concerted campaigns
4 of the Brotherhood. With the
prospective merger of AFL and
CTO already promising a new
deal for workers of minority
groups, the process promises to
SNOWFALL. And you can bet your
newly-achieved prosperity that

Swimming Pool
Finally 0k'd

Members Of the Old George

County swimming pool group
formed over two years ago, final
" gained ofiicial approval yes
terday Of their plan to build q
community pool In West Be-
thesda near Fernwood and
Greentree roads.
Since public hearings on the
proposal began q year ago, coun-
ty zoning regulations have been
overhauled twice and the pool
corporation has fought bitter
citizen opposition, during several

Opposition to the pool was led
by members of the Bradley Bou-
leyard Citizens Association.
They repeatedly charged the
pool would damage property
values. @
The pool application first came
before the Montgomery County
Board Of Appeals In October, 1854
Later. the county council
amended its zoning rules to pro-
side that community pools be con-
sidered q permitted use IN resi-
Dental areas. The appeals board
then dismissed the application
claiming it lacked jurisdiction.
Further public debates last year
and early this year centered
around 3 zoniIlg requirement that
pool group members live within
q half-naile radius of the pooI site,
Finally, on May "a, another zon-
ing amendment cancelled that
restriction and placed pool permit
jurisdiction back in the hands
Of the board Of appeals.
The board. In granting the pool
corporations request. attached q
lengthy list Of conditions, how
ever. These included instructions
that the pool club must:
/. Submit affidavits Of finan-
cial responsibility.
2. Limit membership to $50
families.
3. Restrict use Of the pool to
members and their guests.
4. Obtain water from public
water facilities only.
5. Maintain existing trees and
shruhbery as q screen around the
pool site.
6. Restrict use Of the pool to

sunset.
7. Provide off-street parking
for 100 autos.
5. Build q adequate fencing
around the pool area.
.. Purchase liability insurance.
10. Draw mem bers from a
strictly defined area.
Oficials Of the swimming club
have stated most of the groups
members are from the Wyngate
and Alta Vista subdivisions on

plans to pay about $57, 900 for
