Union
(Continued from Page One)
America won the representation
election against the Brotherhood i
of Railroad Trainmen, which still
has a color clause in its constitu¬
tion barring Negro membership on
the Central of Georgia Railroad,
stated Randolph.
This marks the first time, oh-:
served Randolph, that one of the
“big five” has accepted Negro j
workers in membership voluntar¬
ily, without any reservation what¬
soever.
“But,” continued Randolph, “if
the switchmen’s union had not let
the membership liars down, it
could not have won the represen¬
tation election on the Central of
Georgia since the colored switch¬
men would not have voted for it.”
Randolph pointed out that the
next step is to breakdown the
membership barrier in the remain¬
ing “big four” including engineers,
conductors, firemen and trainmen
since the union has so much to
do with the determiation of wages,
working conditions, mileage and
even the employment policies of
the carriers.
During the two-day conference,
the brotherhood had an opportun¬
ity to hear Mrs. Rosa Parks, of
Montgomery, Ala., whose protest
against bus segregation in that
city started the Alabama bus boy¬
cott. Mrs. Parks spoke informal-!
!y at a banquet held at the YWCA

made an informative report on the
conference.
Delegates attending the confer¬
ence represented the Atlantic
Coast Line, the Seaboard Airline,
the Central of Georgia, the L.&N.

The KEA opened its doors to

after the U. S. Supreme Court
outlawed racial segregation in

There are now 1,500 of the KTA

j Negro teachers belong to both or¬
ganizations.
According to Atwood S. \\ ilson,
! consultant to the KTA, that group
will meet April 12, 1957, to dis-
: solve itself formally as is required
j by law because the KTA is a cor¬

1 sidii steamer Gunmliana. Th fight-
in " flared after a day of disorders
at Crystal Beach Amusement
’ Park in Canada.
The FBI investigation was or¬
dered by U. S. A tty, John 0. Hen-,
derson, who said he believes the
U. S. has “at least eoncurrent
jurisdiction with local authorities.”
Buffalo police arrested 12
youths, but charges have been
filed against only two. Six of the
injured persons were hurt badly 1
enough to require hospitalisation,
Witnesses described “nightmare the medee j
aboard the vessel ns a ■ -
of flashing knives and sobbing, •»
frightened teenagers.” .!•
The Buffalo Conriei Express
said that most of the trouble was [£ I
caused by Negro teenagers.
Two reporters from the Courier
Express, Margaret Wynn and Dick
Hirseh, said many of the white
youngsters, several of them batter¬
ed and bearing knife wounds, hud¬
dled below deck after attacks by
Negro teenagers, who made up
lie majority of the passengers.
“Above deck, all bell broke loose
is roving groups of Negroes ealm-
v attacked the outnumbered
whites," the reporters said.
“Girls were beaten unmercifully
ml youths who attempted to de¬
end them were slugged and kicked
without feeling. Members of the !
shiii’s crew and private police vain¬
ly attempted to keep order, but
when one fight was broken up, I
another flared in a different, see- j
lion.”
It was reported that of the 1,000
persons aboard the steamer, at
least Hfitl were Negroes.
Ifirseh and Miss Wynn said
most of the trouble was caused by
“gangs of Negro girls who walked
the deck, attacking and molesting
white girls.”
