Now we submit, Mr. Randolph, that Mr. Greefi did not organize the Pullman Porters, and that his very failure to do so is evidence of his Cack of interest in these workers. fe submit that the Porters Union vas organized because the porters - hemselves rebelled against the niserable jwage and the inhuman reatmenf ‘o which they are sub- ~-~oy the Pullman Company.

The men. responded like men to this appeal. They were “weighed in the balance and not found want- ing.” But you were not prepared for action. You were not ready to lead the men forward into the ‘struggle, into the action, which was absolutely necessary to protect their interests. You have further declared, Mr. Randolph: “We are certain that we could win the strike alone, with- out the cooperation of any other labor organization.” Now this is rather dotbtful, but it is remotely possible. The question which this raises, which you will have to an- swer if you can, is: “Why did you | America, in defeating the strike of the miners of Pennsylvania and ' Ohio, thousands of whom are Negro | workers?

This struggle of the porters is too important to be passed over) lightly, It is too significant for the struggle of all the oppressed Negro, workers against their exploiters to |permit its weakening by mistaken policies or its betrayal by treacher- ous labor misleaders.

Five thousand copies of the Daily Worker containing the expose were placed in the hands of the members of the union.
