(By Associated Negro Press)

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 23-various
members of the United States Senate
and House of Representatives are
nIanifesting deep concern in the fu-
ture welfare of the American people,
all of them. The Associated Negro
Press is prepared to report authorita-
lively that important steps will be-
taken by Congress in short time in
a serious effort to work out the prob
lens of race adjustment. The subject
will be approached from an economic,
rather than a sentimental, viewpoint,
as on this basis every section of the
country, including the South, is great
ly concerned at this time. With i'm
migration restricted, and 100000 for
eigners clamoring for passports to re-
turn to their native land, with strikes
shooting up everywhere like skyrock-
cts on the Fourth of July, the indus
trial conditions are in an alarming
state, conservative thinkers admit.
Business advancement among Col
ored people in every section is most
roticeably on the increase, denoting a
spirit of understanding and unity
never before approached, and meas
ure of wealth at this time that to
is quite amazing.
Race publications have taken mas

and distributing news, and their prod

dTeds of thousands within the Race,
but Ey thousands of whites. Daily
newspapers and magazines are giving

Colored people throughout the world.
A new era of racial progress has
dawned and is moving with marvellous

COIOTed Man Wins
Premium for First Bale
Of Cotton In Harris Co,

HOUSTON, Tex. Sept 23.-The
first tale of cotton for the season to
be ginned in Harris county was grown
by a Negro living on rented farm
neor Houston. The producer of the
cotton, William Whiting, worked hard
to make this record. After getting the
bale picked, he hauled it to the city
during the night, arriving at O'Clock
in the morning for fear that some one
elTe would beat him to the honor of
selling the first bale of Harris county
cotton this year He was rewarded
for his labor, for in addition to receiv-
ing a good price for his product, he
was given a premium of $25 by cot
ton men.
The interest this Negro has shown
in his work on the farm is to be COM
mended He is the type of Negro that
is a credit to his Race What the
country needs is producers, not agi-
tators. There is place in the South
for the Negro who takes a pride in
producing, and the farm offers him
his best opportunity to become eco
nomically independent The white
people of the South are glad to en-
courage and aid the Industrious, law
abiding Negro.

Real Cause Of Urnest
Among COIOTed Americans
(Ry Associated Negro Press.)


The current unrest among Ameri-
can Negroes is blamed, like so many
other things, on "agitators." Such is
the report from Washington. The
truth is that the Negro soldiers went
into the war determined to make a
record for their Race which the white
race would have to respect, and that
they have been disappointed. That
accounts for some unrest. Another
source of trouble" is the improve
ment in the Negroes economic posi-
ton. Thousands of them have mi
grated into northern cities, and those
who have stayed in their old homes
have discovered that they are peculi-
arly necessary to their white neigh
bors. Without the Negro, agriculture
in many parts of the South would be
in a bad way Discovering this for
the first time, the black man has
gained in selfrespect and lost some
Of the humility that the whites like.
He has become Independent, he talks
back, and he even chafes at taking
the rear seats in the street cars. The
whites are as determined as ever to
keep him down. The result is dis
content on the Negro's part and irri-
tation on the white mans. No agita-
tors are needed to make such a stu
alton dangerous and difficult.-San
