 Are you interested in the common good of both the white and negro races?
 This is question that is being put up to the public in new way.
 It is being advanced by an organ zation of more than 200 women who have just assembled in convention for two days in Montgomery.
 Women attending were not only some of the most prominent leaders of the state in club work, and other organizations, but a great band of women affiliated with missionary so- cieties of churches throughout Ala bama were present.
 Representatives attended from all the large Protestant denominations in the state. These women discussed the best ways and means of carrying on the work for the benefit of both white and coloredxpeople through the mis- sionary societies and through chan nels of their social service organi- cations
 The object of the organization shall be flor the best interests of the south. and the best interests of all" The meeting was held September 27-2S, and the.200 women unanimous ly adopted some strong resolutions of the state committee on inter-racial cooperation. They then divided them selves into denomina ational group l meetings. at which each group de- cided 1t would carry out sane, Chris tan policies on inter racial work. The entire second day was turned over to these group meetings, which were presided over by the presi- dents of the different missionary so- cieties.
 The resolutions they adopted and the things they did are attached in full.
