as to what jog would do in the coming campaign.
Would he run f)r governor, would he run for the
United States Senate would he keep out of it

Mr. Dixon has been saying nothing and saying it

RACIAL DEMOCRACY
is URGED BY EDITOR
Conference Hears Plea for Realiza
ton in South of Nations
Problems.

The National Inter-racial Conference
which has been meeting here in annual
session for the last three days, con-
cluded its meetings last night with 9
general discussion of race relations
All meetings have been held in the
auditorium of the Interior Building.
DR.. w. E. B. Du BoiS, editor of The
Nation, told the delegates that demo
cratic government in America would be
impossible until the country faces what
he termed the problem of negro dis
enfranchisement in the South.
Until the liberal white South has the
courage to stand up for democracy, re-
gardleSs of race, there will be no So
luton of the negro problem and no So
luton of the problem of popular gov
ernment In America" he said. "A dis
franchised working class in modern
civilization is worse than helpless. 1t is
menace, not simply to itself, but to
every other group in the community.
1t will de diseased; it will be criminal;
it will be ignorant; it will be the play
thing of mobS and it will be inSulted by
class restrictions"
Prof. Herbert A. Miller of Ohio State
University told the delegates that the
rising tide of economic activity through
out the world is showing that no race
is economically elf-suf6cient.
Racial competition is exactly like
national competition" he added. Eco
nomic interdependence in both cases is
real and increasing, but in the case OF
nations there Is a patriotic delusion Oi
-sufficiency. We can only wait until
the economic organization makes itseli
so obvious that exaggerated nationaliSn
will become absurd"

approximately rs scientists and
representatives of the Labor Depart
ment, labor unions, and industries
using radium convened here today to
consider the health hazards in radium
industries and means of combating it.
Shortly after Surgeon Gen. Cumming
called the convention to order a lay
delegate offered what he termed prac-
tical solution of the problem of radium
painting.
C. H. Granger of Waterbury, Conn,
vice president and superintendent of
the Waterbury Clock and Ingersoll
Watch Cos, declared users of luminous
paint could avoid poisoning by remov-
ing all brushes from their plants. He
explained that his companies began
to use radium in 1924, and when they
suspected there might be danger from
painting with radium they Immediately
started examination of girls who had
been doing this work.
I'VE found that in every case in
which girl showed radium activity,
she had put the paintbrush in her
mouth" he continued. I'VE substi-
tuted steel dies or stylus for the paint
brushes"
Granger contended that such substi-
tuition was the only remedy for the sit
uation.
Scientists and others attending the
conference, however, saw large prob

Of Public Health of Harvard University,
a prominent industrial poison investiga-
tor, suggested htat the conference map
out what ought to be discovered about
the many unknown properties of
radium. and that problems be assigned
in groups to Government departments.
