Nc Gesture For
Negro i'm "Grass
Roots" Conference

Chicago, June 20. (ANP)-Those
evils of American life which most
gravely affect twelvr million Neg
roes, received no consideration at the
hands Of the sevrral thousand dele
gates from ten middle western states
who went to Springfield, the stair
capital, last Monday and Tuesday
for the so-called grass roots con-
ference" designed to lay the founda-
ton for the rebuilding Of the Re-
publican party.
There was plenty Of speechmaking,
plenty Of paying tribute to the heroes
of the past, plenty Of fault-finding
with the Roosevelt program and al
most fearful concern for the Consti-
tuition, but there was no great i'm
pulse toward the consideration Of the
fundamental Of human rights and the
necessity for re-shifting the national
life so taht all elements may enjoy
the pursuit of life, liberty and hap
piness."

W behalf. The white men and
women who sponsor these affairs
make themselves responsible for the
bills. They make the financial con-
tributions and naturally assume the
right to organize the set-up and the
program. No Negroes give anything,
SO no Negroes count. Any Negro
who could have persuaded himself to
donate $500 toward the expenses of
the conference would have found
himself in a position where he could
have talked and received attention.
"But SO far as money and planning
were concerned, this was a white
mans conference. There was nobody
there, save the Negroes themselves,
who was a bit concerned about what
we consider our political, social and
economic problems. There a
scarcely even anybody who thought
the Negro was necessary as a vote
maker. He was there simply be-
cause he belonged and not because
any help was looked for from him,
nor because there was any design to
help him."

Ned Gordon Makes
Fine Showing at
Minnesota Meet

St. Paul, Mimi, June 20, (By
Sherwood for ANP)-Ned Gordon,
1889 Olympic broad jump champion,
was among the more than 100 North
west athletes participating in the an
nual Minnesota Amateur Athletic
union track and field meet in Mem
orial stadium at the University Of
Minnesota, Minneapolis, June 8th.
Gordon won three events. placed
once, setting two new records for
the meet. He did the 120-yard high
hurdle in 1851, former record, .16,
Knoblaugh, U. Of Minnesota, 1888.
He broad-jumped % feet and z inch
es, former record % feet, one and
one-eighth inches, Hamilton, U. of
Colorado, 1888. He won the high
jump with 5 feet II inches and fin
ished second in low hurdles.
In a personal interview with the
AMP representative, Gordon spoke
very flatteringly of the group of
Negro athletes who are so consistent
ly winning just now. Particularly
did he pay glowing tribute to Ralph
Metcalf and Jesse Owens, and ex-
pressed doubt as to the correctness
Of the report that Owens says he
was snubbed by Mccall. He says
the latter is an especially genial,
agreeable chap, and that he cannot
imagine him being guilty Of such
actions. Thinks it is a mistaken
report coming from some one other
than Owens. Gordon has accepted
invitation to take part in a meet
at New York Mills, Mimi, June 10th.

OXley Tells Canadians
of Negro Labor
Contributions

Montreal, Canada, June 20, (ANP)
What the Negro has contributed
toward the industrial development of
the United States and the problems
faced at the present time by Negro
labor, were outlined here by Lieu
tenant Lawrence A. Oxley, Chief of
the Division Of Negro Labor, United
States Department Of Labor, in an
address delivered Saturday before the
National Conference of S 0 c ial
Workers.
Lieutenant Oxley declared that at
the present time some 3,OOO,O 900
Negroes were on the rosters Of the
unemployed and averred that the
only possible remedy for the condi-
ton presented by this unemployment
was through government aid. 9th
err speakers on the program included
Miss Katherine Lenroot, Director Of
the Children's Bureau, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor and the Secretary Of
Labor, Mrs. Frances Perkins.

on July 4th.

Scores of Negro delegates were
present from the various states,
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas being
heavily represented. But they might
as well have not have been. Two
Negroes spoke shortly before the con-
v%ntion, Roscoe Simmons of Chicago
and Clifford Jackson Of indianapolis,
Ind. But they might as well not
have. The presence of the Negroes
did not count in the conference.
Such consideration as was shown
them was the result Of either pure
courtesy or of protest
Some of the Negro delegates got
the notion that they ought to have a
program and to place before he CON
ference he matters which were close
to their hearts. But after this idea
came, the Negro delegates them
selves split into two groups and held
two Jim Grow" conferences. inside
and outside of the Urban league
headquarters, to try to set up a pro-
gram. After each group had found
agreement within itself, it was i'm
possible to get the two groups to-
gether.
One group was led by DR.. J. R. A.
Grassland of st. Joseph, Missouri,
and the other by DR.. William Blount,
Kansas legislator, who lives in Kan
sas City. Grassland headed the So
called official group and Blount the
trump" delegates, with Mrs. Mary
Clarke, Chicago, as secretary.
The chief upshot of all their work
and wrangling was to get a little pep
into a resolution involving a line call
ing for equality of economic oppor-
tunity without respect to race or col
OF. Of course, that's in the law al
ready, even in the law legalizing the
PWA program.
Attorney George Lawrence, Chi
,cago, secretary of the National
Negro Bar Association, led a delega-
ton Of 81 members to the confer
ence. Afterwards, he was not OPP
timistic about the results. In fact,
he did not think anything had been
accomplished. He was disposed to
lay part Of the blame at the feet Of
Negro delegates and political lead
ers themselves and part on the in
difference of the whites.
"The Negroes were not i'm"

they were united on no program and
