In consequence, they decided to insist on their rignts. and further told the probationer, Johnson, to insist on his.

It was while directing the operations of the latter that the leadership qualities of the new manager came prominently into focus, resulting in his selection for his present post, generally regarded as the most important in the company agencies.

The latter acheievement was significant because of the fact his district was a restrict ed one. Editor Fred R. Moore of The New York Age paid the manager a signal tribute when he compared him with the best agents, white and colored, in New York City.
