lengthy meeting today of the North
American Grain Dealers Associate
A committee of five to be appointed

continue on contracts made before the

representatives told the dealers that
they had the assurance of bankers
that exchange would be nearly normal

Two urgent appeals by cable from
the Belgian minister of war from
American grain were transmitted to
the association by the Belgian consul
here. In the first dispatch the Bel

Work for Natl Unity

1t was agreed that the council which
consists of 35 national representative
manufacturers, bankers, merchants,
railroad and steamship men, should
work for national unity of action in
setting export and import trade free
from the paralysis of transportation.
The council decided to maintain daily
touch with all its members in. all
parts of the United States and with
the numerous commercial and indus
trial organizations which have tele-
graphed to it for information regard
Ing shipping, Its object is to cooper
ate with every effective agency for the
extension of American commerce.
Although the meeting was called at
short notice members came from every
part of the United States.
A committee was appointed TO rec
ommend action to the council. This
committee submitted resolutions which
were adopted, urging the prompt pas
sage of the bill now pending in Con-
gress which would provide immedi-
ate means to increase the American
merchant marine; and recommending
that the government at once provide
war risk insurance at reasonable rates
on both the hull and the cargoes of
American vessels engaged in oversee
trade.
In order to speed the accomplishment OF
the proposed relief measures the resolu-
tions were Immediately transmitted to
President Wilson, Secretary Bryan. Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo, Secreta-
ry of Commerce Redfield, Sesator j. A
OGorman, chairman of the Senate inter-
oceanic canals committee, who has the
pending shipping registry bill In charge,
and to congressional party leaders.
Recommend Govt Insurance
James J. Hill. Mr. Farrell and others
expressed the opinion that even with up
wards of 100 foreign-built ships ready to
come under the American flag if the bill
Is passed. the present rates of insurance
were so high that the movement of COM
merce would still be retarded. For this
reason the recommendation for govern
ment insurance was adopted. The gener-
al sentiment was that with the shipping
registry bill enacted and insurance plac-
ed upon a reasonable basis the equilib-
rum of the exchange would soon be re-
stored.
A committee, to be headed by James
A. Farrell, was appointed to represent
the council at the conference of shipping
and banking interests called by Secretary
McAdoo to meet in Washington on Fri
day.
That action truly representing all sec
lions of the country may be taken as ne
arises. A committee of five was
appointed to maintain communication
with all members of the council through
out the country and to meet daily In
New York for the purpose OF taking such
further action as necessity requires. This
committee consists of James A. Farrell;
John D. Ryan, president OF the Amalga-
mated Copper Co., New York; P. A. 8.
Franklin, president Of the International
Marine, New York; E. A. F.

Recently there has been organized in
Nashville the only negro board of trade
in the world, writes Michael Jones in
a communication to the Washington
Star. 1t serves as a beacon light and
stands as an ideal example of what
such an organization means to a COM
munity In which there are colored men
engaged in business. ]. c. Napier, ex-
register OF the United States treasury,
is president of the board, and through
his master mind the policies are
shaped and carried out. The young
and unparalleled organization is dem
onstrating how indispensable such a
body is to the fullest and broadest
economic, religious and intellectual
development OF any town, city or coun-
ty in which there are goodly number
OF colored citizens. DR.. Booker T.
Washington, whom the world honors
and reveres, who has been invaluable
to the progress of his race and who is
an undisputed authority on negro life
in America, tells us that there are
owned, operated and controlled by me-
groes in America 100 insurance COM
panies, 300 drug stores, 65 banks, 450
newspapers. magazines and periodicals
and more than 10000 other businesses
of various kinds
These people are succeeding in busi-
ness because they are doing what the
world wants done. A review of these
facts will bring visions of better fu-
ture" to even the most pessimtstic Of
the race. How vivid it is that the
Afro-Americans problem is one of per-

race problem in the natural increase
of the two races as analyzed by Pro-
fessor Wilcox of the census bureau
Mr.. Wilcox says the Negro is stead
lily losing ground in the South both
by immigration of whites and by
their own declining birthrate. They
are losing still more rapidly in the
North.
The more rapid increase OF the
whites is attributed not only to the
influx of immigration, but to the fact
that in the registration area where vi
tai statistics are available, including
three-fifths of the whites and one-fifth
of the negroes, the negro death rate
exceeds the white by about two-thirds.
In the past 80 years the excess in the
proportion of negro children has been
falling until the present differnce be-
tween the race Is less than one-fourth
that of 1880, and will, at the present
rate, have disappeared when the next
census is taken. This decline in the
birthrate is ascribed largely to ne
pro emigration into the northern cit
les. The birthrate among negroes in
the city is but two-thirds of city
whites whereas in the country 1t is
fecundity of all races is lower in the
orth and the negro trend northward
is constantly increasing.

Discussing the condition of the col

says:
The need of leaders is fundamental
The negro has a social passion for or
ganization. He wants to start some
thing, or belong to something already
started. There is scarcely a field of
organization within his reach that he
has not covered straightforwardly or
surreptitiously. Many of these organi-
cations, in the church and out of it,
fail Perhaps more fail than succeed
The failure, however, is not due to the
lack of cooperation or interest, but
rather to the lack of comprehension
and intelligence in working it out.
They are willing to try approved
methods, to copy successful organiza-
tions, to initiate successful efforts;
but these are of little advantage un-
less they are helped to secure such
trained leadership as will put them
in possession of the agents and the
assets which we're the Indispensable
factors in securing this success. 1t
seems obvious that we can be of real
help in training the men and women
who are to be, in time, the leaders In
