PHILADELPHIA, July LII
the official actions of the annual
conference of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
CoIored People, now nearing its
close here, are in accord with
the practically unanimous senti-
ment expressed by speakers and
delegates, the proposals for I'M
qualified, full social, political,
civic and economic rights for
Negroes, will go thru with a
bang.
Practically the same proposals
which were made to the Negro
Sanhedrin conference last Feb
ruary in Chicago by the Workers
Party delegation and sympathiz-
ing elements and which went
down to defeat before the on
Islaught of the combine of fed
eral office holders, real estate
spectators who profit by segre-
cation of their own race, and
proprietors of e mploy m e n t
agencies, have been brought be-
fore this conference by Robert
Minor, of the Workers Party,
who is seated as delegate.
To Let To First Conner.
These measures include a deeply
radical proposal for taking the matter
of segregation entirely out of the
hands of private real estate specula-
tors, requiring the public posting Of
all residences for rent, with rental
fixed, and establishing by law the
right Of "the first conner" be he Negro
or white, to rent any residence in any
part Of the city, independently of the
will of any landlord. Needless to say,
there is hardly any doubt that strong,
if silent, opposition to so drastic
proposal will be found among the con-
servative republican element repre-
senting property interests.
Another resolution proposed by the
Communist delegate would cut the
Gordian knot of school segregation
by federal law taking the entire
school system under national jurisdic-
ton and prohibiting any segregation
or distinction of color in schools.
Color Line In Schools.
The principle of abolition of segre-
cation in schools has been endorsed
100 per cent by every speaker who
touched the subject. The objection
of some timid elements of Negro teach
ers, some of whom desire segregat-
ed schools thru fear that no Negroes
can obtain teaching jobs except in
Jim Crow schools, has been routed by
fiery speech of the Negro preacher,
Dr. William Lloyd lines of Philadel-
phia, who insists that the conference
take d stand for the right of any
Negro teacher to teach in any school,
regardless Of color Of pupils or Of
teacher. There is little doubt that

change. Full union recognition
was won on terms which will be
used as a basis for future settle
ments.
The settlement followed a day
OF inspiring mass picketing.
Thousands of workers turned
out at five in the morning to
picket the struck shops. Numer-
GUS arrests failed to discourage
the strikers one whit. All the
encouragement was in the
ranks of the bosses. Most of the
arrested pickets were promptly
discharged.
Will Beat Rest in Line.
The struggle of the Amalgamated
will now continue with increased
energy against the bosses outside of
the Exchange and the union is con-
ident that one hundred percent union
control will be won.
Settlement of the Exchange shops
was authorized by strikers at num-
erous meetings where the basis for
the agreement was read. Strikers ac-
cepted the basis for the new agree
ment, details of which will be worked
out later. The terms include:
1. Full recognition of the union
by members of the Exchange and
their contractors;
2. Maintenance of present wage
scale, minimum wage scale to be
worked out by joint agreement of
union and employers 30 days after
signing agreement.
3. The minimum scale to be
worked out is to be commensurate
with and dependent upon produc-
ton with the understanding that
production costs shall not be in
creased
4. An unemployment fund for UNI
employment insurance is to be
established after December 1st, to

Financial support from the 10 to
10 thousand strikers who will return
to the workshop will be of great aid
in financing the battle against the
bosses who are still holding out.
Union members see more complete
unionization of the city than the
Amalgamated has ever had. Non

in the city are expected to be forced
