Mrs. William Wilson and Mrs. Wil GENE BYRNES rw owTirir THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES By JAMES AMERICA'S PREMIER BONIFACE The plaint is frequently heard, arrlong our people, of course, that the large hotel systems of the country do not employ Negro workers This is all too true; they do not. in this situation, one perhaps which is generally overlooked. To be suit, we do not, as a rule, think of the single exception as a hotel system, yet that is more or less just wmat it is.

As a matter of fact, it is America's premier hotel system. This boniface is the Pullman organization, which might easily be termed the titanic of hotel systems. It earns the description for several reasons, namely, because tts personnel of employees is the largest, the number of guests it accommodates during a year is greatest, and because its operations are the most extensive of any single hotel system through out the world. It is perhaps even greater than any two systems combined. Therefore, while the hotel field has been conspicuously narrowed for Negro workers in late years, one of its largest operators stilt employ them in noticeable numbers.

But aside from the racial phase. as a hotel keeper the Pullman organization presents some interest ing figures in connection with its operation. And although these are 1929's statistics they will serve to illustrate the magnitude of the organization's business in this particular field. According to these statisics, which were compiled in December, 1929, the organization employed over 6,000 people during the year as repairmen, cleaners and miscellaneous workers in rail road yards throughout the country. The duties of this host of workers were merely to keep the traveling units of the sysem supplied, repaired and cleaned.

The figures also showed that during the year there were 12,222 porters, waiters and cooks; 2,819 conductors; 316 maids; 237 club car attendants; 670 storeroom laborers, and several thousand other employees who made up the executive and clerical personnel, all of whom were employed in the operating end of the business. Again, as a purchaser in replenishing supplies which are generally used in the business, the statistics are a staggering array of figures. These were i. 163,141 towels; 444.663 pillow slips; 387.019 sheets 3,500,000 boxes of matches; 3,500,000 cakes of soap; 125,000 gallons of liquid soap, and a list of other articles too. numerous to reproduce here.

Another interesting sidelight on the hugeness of the business was in its laundry department report. In this report the following excerpt appeared: liam Lofton; the Bachelor Benedicts and the Tuxedo Club Dance. The Marionetts. a junior club, entertained for the Debs and Sub Debs. DENMARK, S.

C. Denmark, S. The students and faculty of Voorhees were highly en tertained Monday night November 17th, with a recital by Madame Florence Cole Talbert, assisted i.y her accompanist Miss Covington, both of them coming to ns from Texas. Everybody enjoyed the program. The American Church Institute quintet with Principal Blanton in charge, appeared in concert in Wilmington, N.

in the St James Episcopal Church under the direction of Dr. W. H. Milton, who is undertaking to raise $10,000 to apply on the girls industrial building at the Voorheea School, the said build ing to be named "North Carolina Building." This is to be one of the units of four buildings to be put here with the $200,000 that the school is now in process of raising $135. 000 being already in hand.

A. D. Watson and A. L. Bostick, members of this quintet spent the night at Voorhees previous to their going to Wilmington, N.

C. This quintet in the person of Principal J. E. Blanton, S. Usher, Lee G.

Barnwell, all three of whom are workers at Voorhees, A. D. Watson and Arthur L. Bostick, workers at Fort Valley, has been traveling in the interest of the American Church Institute for Negroes, a chain of nine schools. The Voorhees Eleven met the Schofield squad a few days ago at Voorhees.

Both teams had heralded the fact that they would win. The last half of the game was played after sun down, due to the fact that the officials got stuck in the mud on the way from Augusta. The result was a loss to Voorhees by a score of 1312 in favor of Schofield. A few days previous to this, Voorhees had held the strong squad of Haines of Augusta to a 20 score in favor of Haines. Everybody expected Voorhees to beat Schofield.

Recent visitors to the school have been; Dr. and Mrs. Henry Dillard of Philadelphia. Mrs. Dillard, a trustee ef the school, was impressed and promised to come again.

Mrs. H. A. Hunt, wife of Prof. Htmt of Fort Valley and Mrs.

Addie Hunton made a flying trip to Voorhees on Saturday, November 22.. We were glad to welcome them here. Principal Blanton spoke at the Farmers' Fair, Penn School on St Helena Island on Friday, November 21, and reports a very successful Fair held at that time. The exhibits, he says were in every way above reproach. It was the 25th anniversiry of the Fair, and 25 years ago Principal Blanton was the vice president of the Fair, being president the next vear 24 vein aan II wai murh interested, therefore, to be called back to make the annual add ney "at this time.

H. HOOAN3 There is, however, one exception "In Pullman operations every day is housecleaning day, every ady is wash day. Consider what the laundry operations for about 35,000,000 sleeping guests involve. If a year's Pullman linen were to come out of wash at once there would be 278,705,685 pieces. If that annual wash were hung on a straight line diagonally across the North American continent, you would, have, to stretch twenty clothes lines from Key West to Nome to accommodate it." Sixty five laundries are necessary to take care of all this wash These are scattered all over the country.

Another fact disclosed was that thet system rendered service to an average of a little less than 100,000 persons a day, a ratio which nearly equalled a third of the country's population in 1929. Whether this year's business will favorably compare with that of the previous year, is another matter. But tihat, at any rate, will hardly change the fact that the Pullman organization is America's foremost hotel keeper, ,0 Picked Up Here and There The information that the porters group in New York is to have a basketball team ere long should be good news to one young miss in this city. Not long since this miss was complaining to an acquaintance regarding the lack of a team here. She opined that the men who further entertainment for the porter group didn't give much attention to the young sons and daughters in the matter of sport, etc.

She was asked what special sport she would enjov since she couldn't play baseball? "Why, there is basketball, why not or gasize a team among us girls?" Well, it seems, such a team is to be formed, but it's doubtful if this enthusiast will be invited to become a member. However, if Porter Instrueor Hunter of Mott Haven yards, who is spon soring the formation, cannot get sufficient talectf from among tlie masculine sex in the district, he might change the sex of the intended team. We are sure hhe young miss in mind will help him to organize a corking good girls' team. Oh, bosh! Certainly Mrs. Hun ter ill not mind! Moreover, the instructor's age is an adequate protection against any foolish romanticism.

By the way, this came near being omitted, the young lady is Miss Julia Robinson, a student at the Theodore Roosevelt School, wnose taner is somewhat of a stu dent Ihimself; that is he is reli pious siuaeni, ana nis taun is Christian Science. This is the latest but most dis couraging if 'you care enough to give it credence canard to drift into New York from Al Ca pone's city. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Pullman Company, the story goes, held re cently in Chicago, discussion cen tered on what disposition should De made ot the surplus from 1929's business. One of the members suggested so the tale continues, that the em ployees be given a bonus as in former years in view of the pres ent aepression. No, no, one well known director is claimed to have said.

this surplus should be used in building new cars." BAYER ASPIRIN is always SAFE Beware of Imitations GENUINE Bayer Aspirin, the kind doctors prescribe and millions of users have proves safe for more than thirty years, can easily be wentihed by the name Bayer and we word genuine as above.

Further discussion on the. subject was lost by the eavasdroppei but he heard enough to report that the negative member's suggestion won. Welfare Agent S. J.

Freeman, who is a member of the board of directors of the P. B. A re. turned to this city on. last JTues day from Chicago, here he at tended the annual of that body.

When seen several days after arrival Mr. Freeman declared, in answer to the question, "how was the convention?" that it was one of the best ever held by the association. He also' informed this correspondent that some new legislation tiad been sponsored at the meeting, the nature of which' will be full explained later in this He further gave the. information that his desk would shortly be moved irom the superintendent's office in the Grand. Central Station to the ne Melrose Building uptown.
