SEGREGATION DEFEATS
SOUTH
Chattanooga Loses Convention of
Social Workers

Cleveland, O-The Fifty-third An
nual Convention of the National Con-
ference of Social Work, which has just
closed in Cleveland, dealt prejudice
a severe blow and blasted the hopes OF
the South for convention of this or
ganization as long as colored delegates
are not guaranteed the same privileges
and accommodations accorded others
Thus Chattanooga, although it made a
persistent demand for the convention
was forced to yield to Des Moines
Iowa.
This National Conference Of Social
Work, one Of the most democratic or
CARNATIONS, has always accorded Ne
gro delegates just and fair considera-
ton. Once the Executive Committee
threatened to call off the conference
when they faced New Orleans attempt

Tine reaction of employers to Ne

in favor of their use. One closely

might be cited reveals, according tc

processes in which white workers ex'
eel Negroes, IL processes in which
Negroes excel white workers, and Il

BY Charles Stewart, Jr.

Saturday, June 5th, marked another
annual gathering of the men who had
dug out from their brain cells such
things as in their judgment would
make their hearers think of the old
story Of Billie Rice, Thatcher, Prim-
rose and West and the king Of our
group Of black-faced comedians, the
worlds famous Billie Kersands, who
was a master in his art; then, too, not
to be forgotten, comes Jim Bohea and
Dave Bland, who made the world
laugh, who cracked the jokes that
came from the old cotton field, the
stevedore as he rolled the bales Of cot
ton and the boys in the old tobacco
factories, where in their labor many
laughable thoughts came and the pub
lic-amusing artists picked them up.
Then there is a place where real
sparks Of genius in this line comes out,
when a fellow is in blackjack game
or an old sledge game. The artists go
from there to the public stage to twist
these sayings to the point that makes
the amusing public think. Those boys
Of yesterday are today being followed

therefrom. Time and increased popu-
lation of the age the walls became
too small, thus in Vincennes avenue
today stands a stone structure housing
a greater number than were yesterday
expected.
These men who gathered at 523 East
46th street constituted the amateur
minstrels who had changed their
wearing apparel from the stage attire
to citizens Of daily walks of life
They met jointly with the board OF
directors of the Home for Aged and
Inhrm Colored People to make their
report. 1t was an enjoyable session
because the finances gathered there
from added to clothes, food and an
order for the old black diamonds dug
from the mines to keep their thin
blood warm next winter. Upon the
face of each man gathered there was
brought to him full recollection that
he was giving his energy to pay a
promised duty to mother, many sleep
ing somewhere, that this service would
have had to be given by others should
they have been called before.
Their thanks to the public carries
three fold: First, their service to the

promise given long ago; second, a
service that gives to the other group
the fact that we are becoming self
supporting in an effort to manage and
construct institutions for the care Of
men and women who had blazed the
way that we might enjoy the fullness
of life; third, in lasting promise to
make a united effort next year to
treble the receipts of the last enter
tainment. They jointly are going to
make an especial effort this coming
year to bring about a spark Of per-
sonal awakening in every one Of our
group to contribute something in
financial way to put behind this insti-
tuition fortihcation of finance which
can give better care and enlarge it to
meet all demands adequately. No bet
ter way can the public understand the
service Of these men and women un-
less they take the time to visit the in
stitution and survey sufficiently to
know personally its wants and needs.
The organizations were addressed in
forceful manner by Mr.. Julius F.
