THE NATIONAL NEGRO
BUSINESS LEAGUE TO
MET IN CHICAGO.

MET IN CHICAGO.
After full consideration and
consultation with the officials Of
the National Negro Business
League and friends throughout
the country, it has been decided
to call the next session Of the
League to meet at Chicago, Ills,
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, August Fl, ~ and %.
It is generally conceded that
the meeting held in Boston last
August was one of the most sue
cessful gatherings ever held in
the history of the race, and that
it gave an encouragement and
impetus to the race in all lines Of
business in a way that is now ap-
parent in all parts of the country.
Any person engaged in any
commercial enterprise or properly
delegated to represent any indi-
vidual or individuals engaged in
commercial enterprise, is entitled
to membership under such regu-
lations as may be adopted. Wom-
en- as well as men engaged in
business should be represented.
It is strongly urged that Local
Leagues be established in every
part of the country where no
such leagues now exist and those
already organized be strength
ened wherever necessary, and
that these local leagues send del
egates, so far as possible to the
National organization, and keep
in close touch during the year
with the officers of the National
organization; that these local or
ganizntions hold meetings month
ly as far as practical; that every
thing possible be done in these
local organizations to discourage
complicated and useless parlia-
mentiary machinery, and that
parliamentary and technical dis
cussions be avoided, as far as pos
sible, with a view to concentra-
ting time and strength on the
real objects of the organization.
It is the desire of the officers of
our people as we'll as of the per-
persons engaged in business.
These photographs should show
both outside and inside views as
far as possible, and they should
be forwarded to the President of
the League at Tuskegee, Ala
bama, as early as convenient.
The time has come for the race
to take long step forward i'll
establishing itself permanently
and more generally in the busi-
ness of the community .where it
resides.
Let no legislation or attempted
discourage or dis
hearten us. There should be no
doubling or hating. Every move
should be a forward one. TO
gain recognition and success we
may. have to struggle harder and
longer than others, but out of the
very struggle we shall gain a
strength that we can get in no
other way. The influence and
power of intelligence, high char
acter and high standing in the
business world, are sure to place
the race IN the end in a position
where it will be honored and
treated with justice in every part
of the land. Let our watchword
be, FORWARD.

dent, Tuskegee, Alabama.
