BIRMINGHAM, Ala—To com-
bat the influence of Communists
among Negro railroad employees.
Intensified efforts to organise the
group within tbe standard rail-
road unions will be made during
the nest few months as one of the
major objectives of the Regional
Association of Maintenance of
Way Employees, according to a de-
clalon reached unanimously at the
four-day session of the organisa-
tion which closed here Thursdoy
afternoon.
The Inroads being made by the
"Reds'1 among Negro employees,
were cited, and the main reason
for the susceptibility of the group
was given as the inability of the
Negro workers to join the unions
In the South, and to e|oy the
same rights as enjoyed ly the
whites of tbe Mile cUsmfeuLion,
Speakers pointed out that "Ne-
gro workers are being Influenced
by the communistic propaganda be-
ing distributed among them, fost-
ering equal opportunity. They arc
not given t^ul opportunity by
the unions iiiat deny ll.t ni mem-
bership. To stop this ltiflu nee,
we have got lo stress the icccsslty
of permlttlui? litem to Join tie un-
ions in nil parts of the country,
and to accord them equal rights
In these organizations."
Committees to carry out the
program of organization of Ne-
gro employees were uppolnted, and
the campaign for members In
tbe various organizations will be
launched immediately. The plan',
according to the edict of the con-
vention, Is to establish separate
unions for Negroes, giving them
the privilege of sending delegates
tc the Regional convention, which
is held annually.
