The Cause OF Migration.

The migration of the colored now
going on from several states is pri-
marily due to the lack OF safety of
the home and is indicative OF the
fact that the Negro is sensible of the
economic value Of his labor. This
clearly demonstrates to
the South that all forms of proscrip>
ton, jim crow cars, segregation and
lawlcSsness must cease, and better
housing conditions, and better wages
must be provided if the migration is
to be checked. The influx of large
number of now groups to the con-
gcstcd cities of the North calls for
the active cooperation of all con-
ccrncd so that, as soon as possible,
the newcomers may be asimilated to
their now environment.
We advocate obedience to law;
strict morality: temperate habits;
the practice of thrift and economy;
the acquisition Of education and
property and counsel our people
everywhere to take advantage Of all
educational opportunities offered
them. We call upon the State
Authorities to make equal and adc-
quate appropriations for school
buildings, salaries for teachers and
provide for minimum school term
of six months.

That Great Memorial.

We call especial attention to the
National Race Congress- Memorial to
the Congress Of tho United States
and to the "Fourteon Articles set
ting forth that the American Negro
expects after helping to win the War
for Democracy.
We invite our people and our
friends everywhere to join tho Ma
tional Race Congress in it's campaign
OF service to our country. We go
forth from this sessions delibera-
tons with a vision Of the coming of
a day for better things; the solidify-
ing of our forces for the promotion
OF Righteousness, and in the end the

Discrimination Condemned.

The right TO collective bargaining
between employee and employer
should not be denied to any group
OF American citizens. We deplorc
the unjust discrimination against
the colored workman by organized
labor unions and by organized CAPT
tai. We recommend the adoption O.,
a uniform wage scale and identical
working conditions for all work
ers Of the same class.
Notwithstanding the fact that no
race representative was invited to sit
in it's councils, we view with gratifi-
cation the effort now being made in
this city by the Conference called by
the President of the United States to
effect an adjustment of the labor
troubles existing throughout the
country, and respectfully recommend
that adoption of similar action on
all previous public questions.

ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY.

The National Race Congress, in
its Fourth Annual Meeting, in Wash
ington, D. c., October It'll to 10th.
adopted the following:
The National Race Congress of
the United States, in Convention as
sembled, representing Il constituency
in every State, and almost every
municipality of tho Union, views
with alarm the increasing tendency
toward lynch-law and mob violence
throughout the country, as exhibited
by the recent outbreaks in tho cities
OF Boston, Chicago, Gary, Knoxville,
Omaha and Washington, as we'll as
in many parts of the South, and
calls upon all fair-mindcd citizens,
especially those in high authority. to
put an end at once to such lawlcss-
ness
or the 1000 Negroes lynched in
the United States within the past
forty years, not more than seven per
cont. were charged with the crimo
of rape and not more than seven
per cent. with alleged criminal as
sault. Eighty-siX per cent. have
boon lynchcd for offenses which
range from alleged murder to "im-
pudcncc," and fifty of this 1000
have been women and children.

which l have had for quite somc
timc. DR.. Booker II. WASHINGTON
was not altogether ignorant of these

rapidly wandering from him at the
time when he began the tour among
the farmers and terminated with his
last sickness in New York city. lie

from his fingers, and he was very
afraid that you were his only very
dangerous rival. Enough here.
Mr.. Mitchell. YOU have won u
much greater victory than what YOU
dare to claim. But be that as it
VIII, the colorcd people all over tho
country arc enjoying the benefits
without Suspccting their origin. SO
you, sir, should not slackcn in tho
good work.
| quit writing my strong appeals
to reason for your publication when
noted that the war spirit had be-
gun to affect the American nation.
But l was not exhausted upon the
subject by any means. And am
quite ready to begin more power
full plea now, seeing. that war has
passed, while leaving it's everlasting
effect upon the entire civilized
world
We must give the colored man
the necessary information for prac-
teal life in all of its many branches.
AND ways must be opened for col
ored men to fill all kinds of positions
IF
they must be taught to prepare am
ply and then fill them. AS this is
the very highest and noblcst service
which any people can do for their
country or any other cause.
A Reminder of Health Conditions.
Have you forgotten the effect of
tho article which you published
some years ago about the lack OF
proper hygicnics and the probable
creating and transferring of diseases
by colorcd people who were ovcr
economical or stingy about dress
ing? Now there is similar reason
which | can give that they should
cat we'll and take active parts in
recreation. And also why that they
should be purposcly given good So
cial training and compelled to enter
the higher realms OF social life and
circles. | am able TO prove to tho
best or most common mind that
these things arc of just as much
benefit to the progress OF the white
man OF the South, as il is for col
orcd person to learn we'll how to
plow well, use Il hoe or to serve his
richer neighbor. The thing which
you all must learn is that certain
Ignorance causes certain impatcnco
and neglect, and even the most dan
gcrous thoughts and habits.
The higher tho mind is elevated in
It's inspiration the higher is the in
diVidual advanced in his social wei
fair. The better one is treated the
moro that individual hates rebuke.
IT one is used to good living he fears
the thought Of Il worse life.

Sound Advice Given.

So this is the best and safest
guarantee for their economy and in
duStry. You SEQ that the most en-
travagance and less desire to bother
about work as INDUCED by people of
very low breeding, and who little re-
Spect themselves and their similars
This does not con1inc itself to race
or place; 1t IS a condition which be-
longs TO environment, and all the
lynching and burning TO the stake
or even any other kiLd of punish
mont will not diminish the criminal
spirit as will good environment and
the higher estimation of self for tns
good or gratifying elevated hopes.
Good education and square dealings
make the unfortunate havo hopes.
Yet | hold that there is a way to
every point, and the only thing is
1or us to be patient but pcrsevcrcnt
INTO finding it out for ourselves. and
thon clearly pointing them out to
others. And the armies will soon
reach the goal. l am, as ever for
absolute social equality to all men
of similar circumstances and under
similar conditions. And further as

antcc.

If this nation desires to maintain
its proud position among the nations
of the world and prove that it is a
democracy in deed as well as in
word, it must carry out the letter
and the spirit of its Constitution.
Any government which has the right
to make its citizens boar arms in its
defence must by the same token
have the power to protect them. A
nation which proposes Il democratic
program for the protection of the
weak and oppressed people Of the
world should inauguratc the same
program at home. Moreover, we be-
liovo it to be in the interest of good
government and in harmony with
the spirit which gave birth to this
nation that every intelligent man
and woman, North and South,
should have the right Of suffrage.
TO the end that living conditions
will tend to reduce the abnormal
death rate of colorcd residents in
cities, we call upon municipal
authorities to provide better SAM
tary surroundings for all homes and
tho establishment of parks and
breathing spaces in the congcsted
sections.

THE SUPPRESSION OF LAW
IESSNESS.

This appeal for the suppression of
lawlessness is not only for tho sake
Of justice, but for the added reasons
that lynch and mob violence cause
the descrtion of farms and over
crowting of cities, and augmcnts
the high cost of living by increasing
consumption and decreasing produc-
ton. Moreover. mob-rulo Is an
open expression of utter disregard
for law anu order, which arc the
fundamental elements of all civiliza-
ton.
Patiently we have submitted to
the many acts of injustice heapcd
upon us by an intolcrant element OF
this country and still counsclling
law and order and the observance OF
forms Of good government, We say
now without reservation and with
firm conviction in the Justice Of our
position that when it becomes Il
matter Of f-protcction-a QucS-
ton Of life cXistcncc--thc man who
docs not rise up in his own defence
is not worthy of citizenship in Il Re
public like these United States.
