For Reliable 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.
