than any other employe.
According to union officials,
most, perhaps two-thirds, Of all
Negroes employed by the railroads
at their peak were engaged in
auxiliary capacities designed to
provide special services for pass
engers.
Worked For Pullman Company
In fact, the Pullman porter, who
was the symbol Of the Negro rail-
road worker, was not even an en-
ploye Of the railroads but worked,
instead, for a separate corporation
The Pullman Company.
Besides being Pullman porters,
most Negroes were train and
station porters (Red Caps), wait
ers cooks, car cleaners, club
car attendants, and laundry work
ers. st...e....s t. 81.
It Is these who have suffered
most by the sharp decline In pas
senger traffic and others employed
In the manufacture and mainteRl-
ance Of equipment.
Perhaps the most dramatic Illus
tration Of how railroads have lost
what was once almost a monopoly
II the gradual disappearance OF
the solid Pullman luxury train.

there are only three-the Panama

Pennsy Employees Drops From

Richard w. Smith, international
vice president Of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees and Bartend-
ers' international Union, said that
the Pennsylvania Railroad which
once had 800 Negroes employed
In the commissary department now
has only $50.
Walter Davis, executive vice
president Of the United Transport
Service Employees Union, said that
only 225 Red Caps remain Of the
1850 who used to lug baggage at
Grand Central and Pennsylvania
stations in New York City. Many
stations now have no Red Caps at
all.
The 1880 Pullman Porters who
used to provide q high-class serv-

been reduced TO less than 1000.

reported to have lost 5000 Of its

1t Is a certainty that the rail-
roads win never recover the pas
senger traffice they once had.
Even the freight revenues which
were and still are the main source
Of revenue for the railroads have
been seriously reduced by the en-
croachments Of trucks and to q
lesser extent cargo planes.
In spite Of this dismal picture
the railroads, themselves, say the
situation Ia not hopeless. A few
shots Of derally-administered ad-
renalin, they feel, win help revive
the failing industry.
Specifically, they claim that II
the government win grant them
some relief from overburdening
taxes and allow them to adjust
their rates, they win be in better
position to compete with the Jr.
rivals on the highways and In the
skies.
Send Petition To Congress
In an appeal which the railroads
call the Magma Carta for Trans
portation", they are petitioning
Congress for freedom from dis
criminatory regulation; freedom
from discriminatory taxati on;
freedom from subsidized competi-
ton" and freedom to privide a
diversified transportation service"
They assert, for example, there
Is a gross inequity in the fact that
they must pay taxes on and must
spend huge sums to maintain their
rights Of way while planes fly
through free air and buses and
trucks roll over highways built
and maintained by public funds.
Implied in their plea IL that
granted the relief sought, the rail-
roads can recover enough business
TO justify the unemployment Of
some Of the laid-off workers,
Negro union leaders are hopeful
that any such Improvement would
affect their legions Of idle men.
At the least they would expect that
further, reduction In their ranks
would be checked and at best that
Negroes would find new employ
ment in capacities from which
they have been barred In the past.

A SAFE KIND OF LEADERSHIP TO TRUST.

Although North Carolina did Democratic in the Nov

bert Bonner Republican the vote last week to make
important change in the rules committee OF the House
With Bonner standing firm in support of the
party which has supported him. ten others took sides
with the Republican Congressman from North Carolina
This a bad showing for North Carolina which has
been recently literally recognized by the Kennedy admins
ation The issue was simple was whether two men, sail
ing under the banner of the party but who had them
selves turncoats to be left in control of situation
whereby they could block all efforts of president elected by
the people, who could prevent the peoples duly elected
reseittatves from acting such he might offer
difficult to understand why men could have such gall as
to follow the they have pursued after owing all their
prestige to the Democratic party Our congressman
national recognition for his loyalty to the party and the adj
mnisaton chosen by the country He lived up to his life
long record of loyalty and faithful service and expressed it
well when he said IF cannot support the Democratic party
that has long supported then should give up
sition in Congress and come back home"
We need more of this kind of leadership everywhere and
surely Conressmans constituents feel safe and
secure If they have they know will not be turn-coat
and desert the colors to which all must for aid in time of
