SOUTHERN LABOR
CONGRESS MEETS,
NEGRO A PUZZLE

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 20.--More
than u thousand delegates, represent
ing almost every craft in the fourteen
Southern states, were in attendance
today when the Southern Labor Con-
gress convened. The sessions will
continue until September "a. Jerome
Jones, of Atlanta. Ca, president of the
Southern Labor Congress is presiding.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation OF Labor and W.
C. Lee. president of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen. are among the
labor leaders who have been invited 10
make addresses during the convention.
The object of the convention is TO
discuss ways and means of bringing
about better labor conditions in the
South and OF promoting more cordial
relations between capital and labor.
One OF the big problems in the south
confronting organized labor Is the ne.
gro. The negro does not take kindly
TO union affiliation and no southern
labor organizations are ready 10 admit
the negro into their ranks
1t Is expected that during the con
vention convict labor in the several
states will he discussed and 1t is not
improbable that some steps will be
taken looking to legislation in the
southern states that will eliminate
convict labor from competition with
free labor.

I the negroes. They lack nothing es
sential in this respect.
Any attempt to unioniZe the negroes,
en- masse, in their present stage OF
! development, would probably cause
4 serious trouble In the South, which
| would spread like prairie fire all
over the country. for the whites would
resort Immediately TO the Punishment
plan.
To effect closer relations between
capital and labor. the congress would
do we'll to strengthen, II possible, the
constructive programme of President
/ Wilson--the only real programme in
sight.
To abolish convict labor. now com.
peting with free labor in many South.
ern states, would seem a comparative.
ly easy problem. Good roads are
needed everywhere. This is non-com-
petitive work in the South, where the
roads are built by volunteers on the
!, cooperative plan. and there is plenty
of other non.competitive work in
which the convIcts can be used.
While giving so much attention TO
the problems OF the South, the con-
gress should not overlook the fact that
the East, the North and the West
have a far more difficult problem In
the gradual assimilation OF the hordes
of Slavic and Latin immigrants who
have little conception of American
citizenship and its duties. or of our
system of government and its free
| institutions. These millions are far
more difficult to manage, to educate,
to asslmilate. and are a far greater
menace to peace and prosperity than
the negroes OF the South. The negro
understands American ideals and
easily can be inspired to improve him
| self. He makes good citizen, good
| soldier, first class farmer. He will
always fight for his flag. He owes
! and feels no allegiance to any foreign
| prince or potentate--which cannot be
said of the white immigrant riffrafi
which now forms large element OF
the population in the East, the NORTH
and the West. Next to the South, the
West is best off, but the South gener
ally has about one per cent foreign
and these are OF the best class OF i'm
migrants. engaged principally In agri
culture.
|, Pestiferous politicians, seeking thei
own selfish ends, for forty years hav,
been complicating and hamperlng tn,
progress Of the South by attempting
to impose political equality without re
gard to fitness for the ballot. Fanatic
added social equality and went TO IN

A TREMENDOUS PROBLEM.

A great labor congress began its
sessions today at Memphis. Tenn, and
forthwith tackled three great prob
lens, namely: the salvation OF the ne
gro race, closer and more friendly re-
lations between capital and labor, and
the convict labor problem.
In dealing with the negro workman,
for the improvement of his condition,
the congress will find that labor
unions generally exclude him. This
policy would be reversed, perhaps,
were the Negroes efficiency increased
to a parity with that of the white man.
II sim is, therefore, matter of edu-
cation and vocational training.
The negro's salvation is BACK TO
THE FARM. The crowding of thou
sands of the young men OF the race in
the towns and congested centers Is
rIlirous TO all concerned. They would
doubtless prefer to stay upon the farm,
owning il themselves, making a decent
living, but they cannot save enough
10 buy land. II is, therefore, essen
nally land question. and the negro
Is In the same boat with the poor
white man.
Government aid in the purchase of
land for this large class of our popu.
iation would go far TO solve the prob
lem, and it may be confidently ex-
pected during President Wilson's sec
ond term.
The negro doesn't belong in the
competitive trades. He will never
compete successfully with the white
man, and, besides, he Is best adapted
for agricultural work. In this limit
less field, with federal and state aid,
he can attain success.
The ignorant and absurd efforts Of
Republican Statesmen" In the last 40
years TO elevate the negro by political
methods, unaided by education and the
processes Of evolution, have inflicted
great injury upon the negro and hamp.
cred his progress, but Southern effort
along these lines has been renewed
with vim and the colored mans pros.
poets OF Improvement are increasingly
good.
There is a very general sentiment
throughout the South for the rigorous
restriction of suffrage to men who car
read and write, who can pass the test
of reading. understandingly, the pre-
amble to the Constitutions of the
