ORGANIZATION TO
PROMOTE HARMONY
BETWEEN THE RACES
(By Associated Negro Press)

New York, Sept 9-Belief that the
race riots between Negroes and
whites can be avoided, has led several
prominent social workers of the coun-
try to form society for the promo
tion Of harmony between the two
races. The committee for the recon-
ciliation of the. races is not in favor
of the isolation of any race. 1t has
gone on record as being opposed to
the resolution passed by the conven-
tion held recently in Madison Square
Garden, calling upon all Negroes to
emigrate to Africa. Fenton c. John
son, the Negro poet, speaking for the
committee. explained that such a
movement would only result in loss
for both races.
THE Negro is an essential economic
unit in the welfare of America" he
said. "The only solution of the pres
ent problem is for the blacks and
whites to know each other better.
That is the purpose of this commit
tee"

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Wednesday, Sep

brated throughout the country, and
will be the greatest effort for equal
opportunity ever put forth in the hisI
tory of the race.
The people have come to the part
ing of the ways. They have reached
a decision that lynching in the United
States must be stopped, and that all
citizens should have equal rights bel
fore the law. They are determined I'd
impress the Importance of these factd
on the minds of the American people
and they have selected September 22l
commonly known as Emancipation
Day." for the time to present their
claims.
Already throughout the country, not
only among the colored people, bud
the whites as well, there is a great
stir of interest The colored people
are aroused and enthusiastic because|
of their anxiety to bring about better
living conditions. The white people
are aroused because never before in|
the history of the nation has there
been such a universal desire to give|
encouragement to the claims Of the
Negro, because of the desire to dol
what is known to be right
Every race newspaper throughout
the country is heralding the event
with flaming heads and bold type.
Daily newspapers are supporting the
plans in a manner that is amazing for
their fairness. People are saying: "I
have never seen anything like it in
my life. Surely better day is coming
for ALL"
The speakers who will address
these various gatherings are men and
women of national reputation. Some
of them for more than two-score
years have been fighting the battles
of the race, and they say that with
the conclusion of this day history
viii be made. Younger men, promi-
nent in the business world, "the new
Negroes" who have made for them
selves new place in the field of sue
cess, are setting aside their business
interests to give universal attention
to the day.

FOR GENERAL SUPPORT.
OF RACE JOURNALS.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. s.--An earn
est plea for. the support of Negro
newspapers in America was made by
DR.. Robert R, Motion of Tuskegee In
stitrte in an address delivered before
the National Negro Business League
at Philadelphia. He said in part:
I'VE must make up our minds pretty
clearly that we have got to stand be-
hind our newspapers. These publica
tions have fought our battles for right
and justice, and they have rarely omit
ted an act or overlooked an oppor-
tunity directed toward cooperation in
business or among business men.
They have urged our people to
support Negro business enterprises
and have pointed out that the indis-
pensable road to progress is the open.
ing of business avenues for the young
men and young women of our race
No group among our people has been
more persistent, more patient, more
far-sighted, more self-sacrificing than
have the publishers of our newspa-
pers.
There should be at least one Negro
newspaper in every Negro home of
this country. Without such public
support, our newspapers cannot ex-
pand or render the service we expect
of them.

EX-NEWSPAPER MAN
PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
To LOCAL EDITOR
Phoenix. Ariz., Sept. s, 1920.


Editor the Phoenix Tribune:
Dear Sir:-For several weeks l
have been intending to write you re-
garding the intrinsic value of your
great paper, the Phoenix Tribune, and
yet realize how futile my efforts
when attempting to do justice to this
peerless journal. For the past fifteen
years l have been a close observer of
Negro journals and have read all the
periodicals of any consequence pub
lished by Negroes. In them / found
some good, wholesome food for
thought, but since l have begun to
read the Tribune my vision has been
broadened and l find that few of the
Negro journals equal the Tribune and
none surpass it.
Although / have received only three
copies of your paper, they have clear
ly revealed to me that my limit of
accomplishments is gagged only by
the limit of the infinite mind. /
know now that am an integral part
of the universe and that can be
whatever / resolve to be. l would
like to see the Tribune placed in the
homes of all colored people through
out the United States. 1t would he
an inspiration to the rising genera
tion and the Magma Charter for those
who have reached the age of maturity.
l would like to write more, but the
Tribune has carried my mind away on
visit to the world within and moth
ing affords me greater enjoyment. If
you care to use this letter in any way
to bring before the people the merits
of the Tribune, you are at liberty to
do so.
Sincerely yours,
L. ]. FORT.
