CONFERENCE FINDS
Adopts Resolution Calling for
Permanent Welfare Body

Forty delegates from various or
ganizations in the city met at Unior
hall Wednesday. April 1S, and unan
imously adopted a resolution placing
the formation Of plans for a perma.
nent welfare organization in the
hands of a committee.
The meeting was called by O
Howell, president of the business
league, who presided.
Every organization represented was
of the opinion that the social condi-
tions which exist now and those
which will come as result of an
influx of newcomers from the South
require a single welfare agency with
trained workers.. Opinion was openly
expressed. that the ~Urbaa league
should be invited to establish a
branch here.
T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary
of the Chicago Urban league spoke
briefly of the nature Of the work car
ried on by the organization, and out
lined the conditions under which the
league would establish branch in
st. Paul.
"There must first be a unity OF
opinion on the need for such q
branch" said Mr.. Hill. "The colored
community must be willing to lend
full cooperation in the social service
work. With a unified backing and a
sinking of local differences in favor
of the social good of the whole, finan-
cial backing should not be hard to
secure"
F. D. McCracken, Mrs. Birdie High
DR.. v. D. Turner, Mr.. Towles OF Du-
luth. and O. c. Hall made brief re-
marks. The following resolution pro-
posed by W.. T. Francis was unani'
mously adopted:
"Whereas, this conference repre-
senting the many organizations look
ing to the welfare Of the colored peo.
pie of St. Paul, recognizes the urgent
need of a single organization to dt
welfare work among the people OF st
Paul, and recognizes that the Urbar
league has done wonderful work II

"Therefore, be it resolved that s

| the advisability of a permanent or
ganization, to report at another meet

sBe it further resolved, that thi.
committee cooperate with Mr.. T

league" ...--

LOUISIANA WOMEN JOIN
GOOD WILL MOVEMENT
VIII Work Through State Rela-
tions Committee on Race
Problems

New Orleans, La, April 20 (Spe-
ciaD AN important step in the
Southern; movement for better race
relations was taken in New Orleans
March 21-23, when more than forty
of Louisiana's prominent women
leaders in religious and civic organ
izations-met to study the situation,
formulated vigorous statement in
behalf of good will and justice be-
tween the races, and accepted mem
bership in the Louisiana Race Rela-
tions committee. Declaring their be-
lief that Christian principles offer
the only solution of race problems,
and that the South is today the "cru-
cial testing ground" of these princi-
Piles, they pledged their support to
the effort to secure for colored peo-
ple as we'll as for whites the protec-
ton of law and "the privileges and
conditions to which they are entitled
as citizens, such as sanitation, light
ing and grading of streets, better
housing conditions" and other civic
advantages.
One of the strongest paragraphs in
the paper is that relative to lynching,
which is as follows: "We register
herewith our protest against the
barbaric custom Of lynching, which
arouses violent and un-C Christian pas
sions, brings law into disrepute, is
inhuman and brutal, and unknown
outside of our own land of America.
We hold that no circumstances can
ever justify such violent disregard
for law and that in no instance is it
an exhibition of chivalric considera-
ton and honor Of womanhood."

refusing to sell him a seat for the
show last February 4. The case was

mony that on the night Of the per-
formance, DR.. Delaney had attempted
to purchase two tickets at S:20 P. M.

New York, April 20.-Representa-
tive Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri,
who introduced the anti-lynching bill
bearing his name in congress, will
tour the Middle West and the Pacific
coast states, beginning May !, to
arouse public sentiment in behalf Of
the bill which he intends to introduce
in the next congress, it was an
nounced today by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New
York, which is sponsoring the tour.
Begins in Kansas City.
Representative Dyer will begin his
speaking tour in Kansas City, pro-
ceeding via Omaha, Denver, Colo
RADIO Springs and Salt Lake City to
California, and returning through the
states of Oregon and Washington by
a northern route to Chicago.
Mr.. Dyer's anti-lynching bill was
passed by a vote of 230 to 119 in the
House of representatives and was
fayorably reported by the committee
,oa the Judiciary Of the Senate. ~
filibuster conducted by Southern DEM
ocratic senators led to it's abandon
ment by the Republican majority. In
announcing his tour Representative
Dyer said:
'"I am going before the country on
the issue of lynching, national
shame which for thirty-five years the
states have failed to end and the
federal government has failed to at
tack.
Bill Not Sectional.
"The anti-lynching bill which I in
troduced in congress and which was
passed by a vote of almost 2 to 1 in
the House of representatives, was
stopped in the Senate by the fiibuster
of senator's from those states in
which most lynchings occur.
.sThe federal anti-lynching bill is
not sectional. It applies to every
part Of the country. It assumes that
an atrocity in America is national
disgrace whether it occurs in Georgia,
or Texas, or Oregon, or Ilhnos.
81 shall re-introduce this measure
in the next congress. It will be re-
introduced, believe, in the Senate.
MEANWHILE I shall acquaint as many
American citizens as possible with
the horrors Of lynching in America,
and with the provisions of the bill de-
signed to end those horrors.
ave shall then see if small mi
nority Of men from any group OF
states can block an expression Of the
will of the people of this nation.
