thousands Of Negro
R.R. Workers Affected
BY Wage Increase
BY Eddie L. Madison, Jr.


Chicago (ANP) - Thousands of
Negro workers in the railroad in
dustry are affected by the 1929
cent-an-hour average wage in
crease effective May 1 granted
last week to some 100000 nonop-
Grating employees.
This is the amount recommended
May 3 by a presidential emergency
board after negotiations had brok-
en- down. Last weeks decision
came after Labor Secretary Arth-
ur J. Goldberg's advice that the
nations railroads had no alterna-
tive" in the issue.
The signing of the One-year
agreement affects all Negro rail-
road workers who are members
of any Of the IL brOtherhOOds
represented in the negotiations.
Not affected by the action are
the sleeping car porters and en-
ployes of the Burlington, Balti-
more & Ohio, Southern and Penn
sylvania Railroads, who were not
represented in the negotiations.
1t was the opinion of some labor
leaders that smaller organizations
would be able to secure the in
crease on the basis of the settle
ment reached with the larger I'M
ions.
Richard w. Smith, secretary
treasurer of the Joint Council Of
Dining Car Workers, Chicago, and
the only Negro who was party
to the negotiations, said that din
ing car workers receive more
money under the cents-per-hour
agreement.
Smith, who is international
vice president Of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees and Bar
tenders international Union, teS-
titled before the presidential en-
Urgency board and made recon-
mendatiOns to the board.
I'VE are going to Immediately
institute a program for shorter
working hours" Smith told the
Associated Negro Press last week.
Regarding the wage increase,
Smith advised that dining car
workers receive the lowest average
wage of any workers in the rail-
road industry.
He said dining car workers ex-
pend more unpaid time in earning
their pay than other employees.
IF dining car employees were
paid on the same time basis as
conductors, for example, they
could earn from two to four
months more pay based on mile
age" Smith declared.
Smiths union represented some
$500 employees.
Negro workers In other rail-
road incorporating labor cate
gOrIes include track workers,
mechanics, shop workers and car
cleaners.
Railroad spokesman said the
average wage of off-train en-
ployes now is $2.48 an hour.
Initially, the unions proposed
that all pay rates be increased by
25 cents an hour; and six months
advance notice be required to en-
ployes affected by reductions in

Chicago0ns Double
Home Ownership
DuKind Last Decade

during LOST DeCo0S
Chicago (ANP) - Home owner
ship among Negroes in the last
decade increased more than 100
per cent in Chicago and its suburbs
and is growing at a rate compar-
able to that of the white popula-
ton, according to a city human re-
lations official.
Edward Marciniak, executive d.
rector of the Commission on HUI
man Relations, made the statement
in a speech before the Relocation
Conference sponsored by the Urban
Renewal Administration last week.
Marciniak said:
Seeking symbols Of middle
class status, Negroes are becoming
homeowners at a rate comparable
to whites. In Chicago, home owner
ship among Negroes more than
doubled between 1850 and 1860,
rising from 1928 to 36,610.
I'm the metropolitan ring around
Chicago, non-white home owner
ship rose at a similar rate - from
s,8O6 to 1851 in the same per-
iod."
Marciniak said that the gradual
lowering of racial bars is creating
"a new and effective demand for
middIe-income housing" among "a
rapidly growing Negro middle
class"
The human relations official re-
ferred to more than one-third of
the Negro populations acquisition
of incomes exceeding $4,000 a year.
He told the group, which is
studying population movements
caused by renewal programs
many second and third genera
ton Negroes like the Irish, italian,
German, and Polish immigrants
who preceded (them), are ready
to leave their old neighborhoods
for better housing in other neigh
borhoods of the city and suburbs"
Marciniak said that, between
1850 and 1860, 10000 Negroes mil
grated to Chicago's suburbs and
that this movement will increase
during the present decade.
Marciniak predicted that the
urban revolution Of the 196os -
the renovation of the city-will re-
ouire a remodeling Of the areas
present racial pattern.
He told housing officials from
10 Midwest states that the i'm
proved economic and educational
status of Negroes will make the
renoval of racial housing barriers
inevitable.
Four changes in the city have
brought the problem OF VINO hVes
where to the forefront, Marcin1ak
said. He listed them as:
1. The increasing number OF
non-whites in the cities.
2. Increasing minority aware
ness of its rights.
8. The determination of the
growing Negro middle class to get
equal treatment under the law.
4. The increasing willingness OF
federal, state and city officials to
"take constructive steps to protect
everyone's rights regardless OF
race, religion, or national origin
Marciniak emphasized changes
will require metropolitan action
rather than city action alone.
"As the large central cities are
nIled up by newcomers from the

Send Books Overseas,
Robt. Kennedy Urges

Attorney General Kennedy
last night recommended that
leaders of the Nations book in
dustry help the Government to
supply non-Communist coun-
tries with books that explain
the American way of life.
Speaking to some 500 mem
bers Of the American Book
sellers Association at the
Shoreham Hotel, Mr.. Kennedy
urged that the booksellers join
with other leaders Of the pub
fishing industry to form COM
mittee that would send books
overseas as good ambassadors
for u.s."
The committee would first
consider how we can get more
and better American books read
by more people, particularly
students, in the uncommitted
nations Of the world"

The Attorney General, who
recently completed a $4,000
mile world tour, said he was

Senator Mcclellan, who is
about to come out under the

the program. His speech was
built around a warning that
our present laws are much too
inadequate to fully cope with
the crime menace in this coun-
try" which is costing Americans
$3.50 million day."
Along with the threat of
Communist infiltration and
subversion, he said, crime CON
stitutes one Of the Nations

He also warned of the danger
of pursuing "unSound fiscal

In between convention seS-
sions. the booksellers were BUSH
ly combing the display racks of
publishing houses. Asked what
he thought were the three main
factors in selling a book to a
retailer, one publisher replied:
Author. the amount of pro-
motion you are willing to do for
the book. and subject" BY sub
ject, he said. he meant a sub
ject on which other books were
selling well.
His analysis left out one
factor which Mr.. Adler con-
sidered essential in selling
books: Familiarity with what
the book says or at least what
is said about the book. With
the great numbers of books
being published today, Mr.. Ad-
Ter said, the bookseller cannot
