As the church is the most effective
organization among colored people, the
minister IS the natural leader of his
race at this stage Of development. The
masses support the preacher, giving
him large freedom of expression and
fun opportunity to exert his influence
over them. When commercial and in
d%ustrial ORGANIZATIONS get well under
way the leadership may pass from the
minister because Of economic considera.
tons. The failure of the ministry to he

CONGRESS TOOUIT
WITHOUT PASSING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Congress
is preparing to adjourn without enact
ing any big reconstruction meas

1t has been definitely decided by
senate leaders that no more domestic
legislation Of Importance can be put
through at this session. They hope
to finish the peace treaty next week
and go home for fortnight's vaca-
ton before the regular session opens
December 1.
This will leave undisposed of the

the tariff.
House leaders are still fighting for
action on the railroad bills, but the
decision of the senate interstate COM
merce committee to abandon the
Cummins bill until next session
dashes that hope.
Republican leader Monde1l, house
majority leader and others are known
to be displeased at the senate's fail
ure to cooperate in passing dom este
legislation. They are also known
to have spoken sharp words on sew
eral occasions over this situation.
When it became known that the SEN
ate will not attempt to pass perma-
nent railroad legislation at this SEES
sion, he made a hurried trip over to
the senate and talked to Chairman
Cummins, but the situation has not
been improved as a result, it is
said. He declared the house plans
to go ahead with the Esch railroad
bill regardless of the senate's atti-
tude.
The army program is in a similar
situation. Bills have been introduced,
hearings held. but no bill can be
put through until probably after the
Christmas holidays.
Tariff Legislation has struck a
snag. The house has passed several
bills to protect the dye industry and
other industries likely to be hit by
European competition. These have
bumped against the stone wall of the
senate, however. Senator Smoot Of
