under three heads, namely, indiffer­ence, disappointment and temporary advantage. The first class comprise those porters, the younger element, of course, to whom the pensionable age is a remote contingency.

Within the second class are those who were slated to be retired but whose retirement has been deferred while the bill's validity was being settled. The third class are thoie who are of the pensionable age, 05, according to the age-clause of the bill, and could and would have been retired.

Had the bill been declared consti­tutional there are a few within this class who would have taken ad­vantage of the opportunity whether the law made retirement at that age compulsory or no£. But only a lew.

These had already reasoned that despite the larger increment, which they might get under the operation of the law, it wouldn't be adequate enough for economic requirements.

Therefore, to those within this class the decision wasn't as deeply deplored as it was by those in the second-named class. There is one thing, however, that should be quite obvious even under those conditions. The decision only gives the 00-year olds a temporary advantage.

Then, too, there is nothing sure even about this extension these days, since the ability of the porter to maintain his job depends on his physical condition, which is determ­ined each year by medical examina­tion.

It is, however, the 70-year old porter, who feels the fate of the bill most keenly. When it was passed by Congress, it was looked upon as God-send piece of legislation. Last fall when the lower court passed ad­versely upon it there was still hope that it might come through. But la>t week this hope was shattered to pieces.

Of course, it is quite probable that another bill will be introduced in Congress in lieu of the old one, but even that will not help today's super­annuated porter.

The whole crux of the matter Is that rail workers of the lower brack­ets have been treated to a ray of encouragement which didn't ma­terialize. That their employers should be blamed absolutely for the situation in which they find them­selves is not so tenable, after all, especially those employers which have given their employees a pension stipend.

The trouble with this sitpend, as in the case of Pullman porters and dining car waiters, is that it is based upon the wages of the employe and not his aggregate earnings. The pension law would have corrected that situation somewhat, so far as the amount was involved, by having the employees contribute to that fund. •

Like the government, the rail in­dustry should have had such a sys­tem in operation years ago. It is not too late even now. since the system

with the Pullman service, then tbt. New Haven and back to Pullman.

An employee of the New Vork, District, "Pink" Darden, the nam* by which he was best known, was « person against whom his most cntio al acquaintance was unable to lulj malice. •This was due to his inherent good humor and ability to appreciate a joke even when a joke was on him­self, as it frequently happened to be.

But under tliat 'light-heartedneui was a profound depth of common sense, whenever he wanted to exer­cise it. His college training came in handy in 1929, when he was elects! as secretary of the district's local branch of the plan of employe repre­sentation. He served in that capacity, for several years.

The veteran was also active at va-rious times in the affairs oi the lo­cal lodge of the Pullman Porters Benefit Association. Atnong the ex­pressions of sympathy, which wen received by Mrs. Darden, was a let* ter from tlie chairman of the local, Pharoah Davis, in which was emboj. ied the condolence of its entire mem­bership. A letter of sympathy from J. Bryce, superintendent of the db-trict, was also among those receiv­ed.

Besides Mrs. Darden, who is the former Miss Garbrielle Garret to whom he was married in 1909, the deceased is survived by a brother, George Darden, a porter in the P. T, District.

Funeral services were held from Grace Congregational Ciiurch. West 139th street, with Rev. A- C. Gar­ner, pastor, officiating, on Sunday af­ternoon. The pastor's eulogy, a sole by George Jones, a well-known solo-ist of this city, and the large attend­ance of former friends and fellow* workers, who came to pay their final respects, made those rites a symbolic memorial to an amiable character.

The pall bearers were Ur. C. Pow­ell, Frank Jennifer, Thomas Morris, Hunter Garrett and H. P- McClen-den, all members of the 402 Corpora­tion, a cooperative apartment houst at 402 West 153rd street, at whidi Mr. Darden lived and was a share-owner. Burial was in Woodlawe Cemetery, under the direction of the W. C. Perry Undertaink Company.

Henry P. Darden, one of the best known porters of the Pullman ser­vice in the entire East, died iasi Thursday morning at Harlem Hos­pital where he was being treated for a recurrent attack of pneumonia. He had been a patient at the hospital of that disease last winter, but, appar­ently, had recovered so completely that his passing was quite a surpris­ing to friends and fellowworkers.

Born in Atlanta, Cm., the veteran porter, who was a graduate of More­house College of that city, was 55 years old. He entered the Pullman service in Jersey City 35 years ago, and except for two or three years! which were spent in a business ven­ture at New Haven, Conn., those three and one-half decades have been as a worker in the rail industry, first will be I<7s"t

Peon Terminal Notes By J. T. REID

We are glad to see our P. f porters waking up to the fact that they can no longer stand by an. watch the antagonistic attitude ot the group of laboritcs who proviut their officers with sufficient inonty to afford them a comfortable ln-ing. Porters all over the country are tired of promises which thev know can never be fulfilled. They are asking themselves "Why are we paying excessive monthly dues, per capita taxes and special asses­sments to meet the salaries and expenses of these labor agitat­ors?"

There are many advantages to be gained by membership in the Pullman Porters and Maids Pro­tective Association. The" porters and maids are thoroughly capable of handling their own affairs ami wy . should we surrender these rights and privileges to outsiders?

Let us say right here, it is ex­tremely important to our porters that they be not deluded, ft is easy to say "Dont you think you ought to get more monev, that voa ought to get $150 per month?'* But who are you going to get it from' It is time for porters to get up and fight for what thev know to be simple justice. Your united stand for the cause of the Pullman Porters and Maids Protective As­sociation was never more necessary than at the present moment. The next few months will be crucial. But if the ranks of the P. P. & M. hold firm, we will defeat these out­siders, but if we should allcw our­selves to be divided, it is almost a certaintv that what the Pullman porters of years ago left to us
