COMMISSION ON
RACE PROBLEMS
FILES REPORTS
Remedy for Racial Strife
Necessarily Slow,
Report Says.

CHICAGO Sept 25-tBy the As.
ISOLATED Press.) - Mutual under.
standing, sympathy and patience
between the white and negro races,
a remedy that necessarily is slow
and which can come completely
only after tho disappearance o.
prejudice, are recommended in the
report OF the commission on racial
relations, appointed by former
Governor Frank o. Lowden soon
after the Chicago race riot In July,
1919.
Chosen to study means Of pre-.
venting future clashes between the
two races more than three years
ago and to promote a means OF bet
ter understanding, the commission
made fifty-nine recommendations,
among them the following:
THAT police ard militia work out
a detailed plan for joint action in
the control OF race riots; that 20
lice and deputy sheritfs and militia
be so distributed as adequately to
protect both races in white and ne.
gro neighborhoods.
Negroes are more commonly ar.
rested, subject to police identified.
ton, and convicted than white OF.
tenders. On similar evidence they
generally are held and convicted on
more serious charges and given
longer sentences. We point out tina,
these practices and tendencies arc
not only unfair to negroes but
weaken the machinery Of justice
and produce misleading statistics
OF negro crime.
I'VE recommend that police pay
particular attention to so.callet
athletic clubs" on the South Side
which we have found to be a fruit.
full source Of race conflict and that
when race conflict arises or is i'm.
minent the members and meeting
places Of such clubs be searched
for arms and that, II deemed neces.
sary, such clubs be closed" The
commission declared such clubs
were a contributing factor to the
race riot of July, 1913.
I'VE recommend that the most
stringent means possible be applied
to control the importation, sale ana
possession Of fire arms and other
deadly weapons.
I'VE recommend that the authori.
ties exercise their powers to con.
denim and raze all houses unfit fos
human habitation, enforce health
and sanitary laws and regulations
in the care and upkeep OF streets
and alleys and the collection Of
rubbish and garbage in areas OF
negro residence, where the com.
mission has found these matters to
be shamefully neglected.
eve recommend that in the
areas where the main part of the
negro population lives, school build,

The basis OF his sermon was the

mis- thanks as well as on behalf
Of his congregation for the gift.
The pastor further stated that
from the wording of the commun-
ication he is unable to decide ex-
actly for what purpose the gift
was made, although he is of the
opinion that 1t was meant for the
support Of Christian Colleges, as
suggested in the letter.
This is the first rablic appear
ance Of the Ku Klux Khan In
Warrington. A fiery cross was
burned on a hill near the city not
long ago, announcing the pres
ence Of the Khan here, but until
last night no public demonstra-
ton had been made.
The pastor, when questioned
about the occurrence last night,
said:
81 wish to assure the Manning
ton Ku Klux Khan that do
heartily indorse and commend the
things for which they stand as set
forth In this letter. and l appre-
ciate their kind personal regards
and best wishes, and this gener-
Gus gift.
There has been difference Of
opinion as to the purpose 70.
which the gift is intended, wheth-
er 1t is for the financial campaign
now being made by the Presby-
terrain Church throughout this
state for the church's educationa.

Information on this point.
II extend a cordial invitation
to all members Of the Khan to

services. May success attend the
