Washington. The National Equal

ing, held In this city in connection
with the national citizens rights con-
gress from Oct. 4 to 8, adopted the fol-
lowing declaration and appeal TO the
country
The National Equal Rights league
appeals to the voters of the United
States to sustain in each and every
state Of our country the principles Of
equality Of citizenship, equality of op-
portunity In federal civil service EN-
ployment. equality of protection In the
administration of justice, equality of
freedom In the use of the ballot and
equality and fair play In industrial
pursuits.
Equality of human rights In this
country should not be destroyed by the
continued enforcement of unreasonable
human tyranny at the south.
Work in the civil service should be
equally open to all without the applica
ton OF methods that result in race dis
elimination, race segregation and race
humiliation In work or wages to any
citizen. We warn the voters of the
country against the power of the labor
unions, which have grown both formi-
dable and dangerous within the last
few years. For more than thirty years
