DIVISION OF 136,0M NEGROES
AMONG RAILROAD EMPLOYES
WASHINGTON, D. C-. Oct. 34.—
What connection have the colored
Americans with the great transporta
tion arteries of the country, which
were conceived by Republican poli
cies, Installed by Republican Ingen
uity and regulated by Republican
laws?
At the outset it must be understood
that ot the 777,122 stockholders, own
ing the railroads ot the United States
702,433, or *0 per cent, live in the
North, East and West, while only
74,8**, or 10 per cent, live In the
South. That sectlqg-has been quite
as laggard In financing transporta
tion as In recognition of human
justice.
Transportation Is to the country
what the arteries are to the body—
It distributes the nation's production,
population and food and develops its
resources. But we asked: “What
connection have the colored people,
as a claaa, with this massive in
dustry’“
The 136,065 Negroes employed by
the railroads In the United States are
the answer. Of this number thus
employed sre 2204 females, ot whom
45 are flag women. There are also a
number of maids on the finest equip
ped trains, while 2058 colored women
are classed as laborers, probably car
cleaners for the must part. Among
the men there is naturally a greater
diversity of occupation. Of the 133,-
861 males employed m this branch of
Industry, *5.*21 are laborers; 20,201
are porters; 6305 are firemen; 3502
are boiler washers and hostlers, and
2887 are switchmen and flagmen.
There are 1181 togemen. 616 yardmen.
475 baggagemen and 111 engineers;
while in the administrative grades
there are 3 steam railroad officials,
217 Inspectors, 33** conductors, 16
tickets and station agents and 7
freight agents.
A conservative estimate of the ag
gregate wages and salaries received
by these colored railroad employes
will not fall short of >150.000,000 a
year, a sum of sufficient importance
to justify, on the part of colored lead
ers and voters, a close scrutiny ot all
railroad legislation, particularly of a
national character, that Is calculated
to afreet the earning capacity and the
wage scales of our transportation
systems. From the foregoing figures,
which sre as absolutely authentic as
