THREE GROUPS DEFINED

re divided the classes or Negro
Leaders into three groups. The first
or the "old crowd politicians" lie
called the right wing" and claimed
that they were absolutely wrong and
responsible lor oil the Ills the race
Is heir to. "Having been bought and
paid for" they are not worthy of
ieaoersilp said he. In his second
group he placed the members OF The
Academy labelling them and those
OF their ilk as "the centris''-'the in
telllgencia' Of the race. Nor were
they deemed capable leaders, because
though honest they were vascillating.
The third group, he designated as
tho left wing" of which he is q
bright and shining light. This group
he held were right beyond the shad
ow Of doubt.
ils ADDRESS was mastery presen.
tation of we'll defined theory, and
an animated discussion followed onl,
TO DE "ut short for lack Of time. in
his rcbuttal he lost much OF his poise
by drifting into ridicule-a mistake

Among those who Joined in the dis
cussion We're: Prof. J. T.. X. Aggcry,
Messrs. w. II. Ferris, Robert r.
Browne; r.. Fl. M. Murray, Prof
Carter G. Woodson and Judge r. Fl.
Terrell.
Mr.. Randolph's critics claim that
he s'gnally failed to define
his position on the "open" or clos
ed" shop. or cite any history that
would serve to prove his contention
that Labor would keep any of "the
promises" now being so profusely
made now that the battle is on and
the Negro Is wanted. Judging the labor
group by the same taken as he Judged
the cold crowd" his stric'u on the
latter could be more consistently an
piled to the former, for organized
labor has ever been the bette noir or

try.
