the lynchings. burning and in
human mob violence practiced
mainly against colored peo
pie in various sections of the
country. and that this lack of
respect tor the common rights
of citizens was gwen as the
most potent cause for tine un
rest among Negroes. This
was the underlying reason for
bringing the conference to
gether from far distant points.
The proceedings ofthe Confer
ence reached the Pres. through
the Commiltee on Public In

Creel is Chairman.
The Presidents message is
a wholesome rebuke TO ruth

almost invariably think they
will be immune from punish
ment by the courts or by out
ragged public opinion.
The Colored people are jub
liant over the timely and
straight forward pronounce

United States and that such
an utterance from the highest
authority in the land will
cause a wave of patriotic en-
