Hogan came into the waterfront picture when 300 tugboatmen came to him for advice, after they had been beaten up for trying to break away from the U.O.E.F. Assisted by Johnny Tan, 28-year-old law student, Hogan got the tugboatmen jobs and brought their case to court. It was lost. "We didn't have a chance against their political backers," explained Hogan later. "But it got us warmed up for a good long fight." Father Hogan then set about building the A.W.U.

John Ross kept the news under his tan Stetson and went to work. He discovered that right after the murder Kirkes had ordered his coupe repainted, though the garage man insisted it didn't need paint. That same week the big patrolman grabbed an air hose away from a service station man and cleaned out the rear compartment of his car himself.

He was well aware that "a lot of it is poor stuff," but argued that the magazine's home-service section...
...from its failure to attract national advertising. With Ebony, which will carry 487 pages of national ads this year, Johnson hopes he is breaking down the economic prejudice against advertising in Negro publications because their readers' incomes are supposedly too low. If he can make more money with Tan Confessions, he thinks he can do a better job in his other magazines of telling "the Negro how to make the best of his opportunities. We have a twofold job. We must inform the Negro of the injustices in his life, and we must make him press ... for the freedom...
