RESIGN FROM CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE
IN PROTEST AT DIN
NER TO SEGREGA
TIONIST
Charles Edward Russell, N.
A. A. C. P. Director, Pro
tests Honor to Sherrill
(B y N. A. A. C. P. Press Service)
New York. N Y. Mar 2—Charles
Edw. Russell, m em b er of the Board
of Directors of the National Associa
tion for the A dvancement of Colored
People, recently resigned from the
C ham ber of C om m erce in W a sh in g
ton, D. C., because of a testimonial
dinner it was planned to give Cot.
Clarence O. Sherrill, S uperintendent
of Buildings and Grounds in the Na
tional Capital, who has done his u t
most to prom ote segregation.
Mr. Russell had been invited to
speak at the testimonial dinner. He
consulted Neval H. T hom as, P resi
dent of the W ash in g to n N. A. A. C.
P., to g eth er with Clyde C. Duffee
and Capt. H a rry Atwood, all of Dun-
ber H igh School, and they were able
to give him such particulars as to
Col. Sherrill's activities that Mr.
Russell decided to resign from the
C ham ber of Comm erce in protest a-
gainst the dinner to Sherrill. In this
letter of resignation, Mr. Russell
says in p art:
“Colonel Sherril, by his deliberate
course of contem ptuous injustice to
ward the colored people of this city,
took himself out of the cate gory of
public servants that merit any ap
plause from their fellow men. Legal
ly, constitutionally„and from every
view-point of social welfare, the col
ored people are entitled to every right

DOES THE PULLMAN
PORTER WANT IT?
More and more with the reviewing
of facts it is made clear that the
“C A U S E ” of the Pullm an po rters a n a
maids is not going to be prom oted
by the gathering of their clans and
forming them into a LTnion, to be
know n as “T h e B rotherhood of
Sleeping Car P o rte rs.”
A fter a half cen tu ry of service in a
C o rp o ra tio n who has within the short
period of fifty years raised the wages
of an employee in the Pullman srvice
fiom E ight Dollars ($8 00) to One
H u nd red and four Dollars! $i()4 00)
ner month, it would seem rank injus
tice to claim th at said Pullman era-
oloyees had to fight for a living wage.
I t is a well known fact that the per-
equisites allowed by an unw ritten law
bring most of the m e n ’s m onthly wage
close to T w o H u nd red Dollars, in
m any cases more. Compare this re
muneration with the m onthly salary
of manv educators and technical men
W ith all that the Pullman P o rters
have ?c«-omplished and accumulated
■ n every section of the United State.»
it is loolish to think in terms of other
than prosperity of the present con
dition.
W o rk in g for
the P ullm an C o m
pany has never narrow ed a m a n ’s
chances to show w hat was in him
and rise to the best that was in him.
T he young men of the Race have
been given g reater opportunities an«I
m o re security in occupation th rou gh
the em ploym ent of the Pullman Co.,
than any o th er field of endeavor. T h e
C ompany has ever employed the Col
ord college student during the v aca
tion periods, had him assigned to the
best runs and made higher education
possible for many a fellow who o th er
wise would never have made the fin
ancial grade for the next session.
W ork in g with the Pullman C om pany
has made travel possible for thous
ands of colored men, who in any o-
ther line of work could never have
left the small tow ns of the N o rth or
the obscure Southern districts so far
away from the cente rs of education
and progress.
It has gis-en the colored man of the
L’nited States a splendid contact with
humanity that has
unconsciously
broadened his viewpoint o f life and
developed his m entality along unus
ual lines. T h ro u g h this agency he has
received an education to be envied.
He has m et the g reat men and w o m
en of all Nations, and he has listened
in on the conversations of diplomats
princes. N ot long ago some of the
noted colleges of o ur country called
upon a learned p o rte r scholar to ex
ploit this valuable knowledge gained
bv long and intelligent service in a
Pullman car, in a lecture to their stu
dents.
These inimitable qualities that have
been developed in the Pullman car
po rter by years of efficient service
have been im mortalized in one of the
widest read novels of its day, “ E x
cuse me" bv Rupert Hughes, which
has been dram atized anti picturized.
O u t of these y ears of co-operative
service of the Pullman men and w o m
en and the Pullman C ompany and out
of the recent Conference in Chicago
which was conducted "th ro ug h ou t
with the utm ost spirit of fairness and
goodwill on both sides” there should
logically grow an unblemished unity
of the Colored men and women of the
Pullman service. T h is coming tog e
ther for a comm on cause, the uplift
and progress of th«1 Race in the field
of labor, should not be defiled by
that much abused term of the indus
trial world, “U n ion ”, veneered in this
case with the wor«l "B ro th erh oo d.”
T h e pulhnan p o rters ran follow and
adjust them selves to the economic
gro w th of the past tw entv-fivt years
w ithout jeopardizing their unchal
lenged position in the industrial
world with the binding forces of a
“U n io n”, organized in the distorted
sense of the word as understood to-
dav.
T h e real meaning of union is a u-
ninting for concord and harmony.
