ICY PAVEMENT
CAUSE OF INJURY

Mrs. Dessa Peppers, 2439 Fifth
Ave. S., met with a painful acct
dent Monday morning of this week.
On her way to Phyllis Wheatley,
where she is employed as a WPA
worker, she slipped on the icy pave
ment as she stepped from her door,
and fell heavily to the walk.
Rushed to the hospital, an emer-
gency treatment disclosed severe
fractures of the bones of the left
foot as well as painful bruises to
the left side of the body. Mrs.
Peppers was taken home after her
injuries were dressed. The injured
foot placed in a cast will necessi-
tate the use of crutches for several
weeks.

Many Brilliant Speakers

Seldom has an audience listened
to so many brilliant speakers as
they recited the course of many
outrageous indignities and devel-
oped the idea of united immedi-
ate actions to retard and overcome
these unbearable injustices. Just
to publish the list of those who
thus gave public support to the
Congress agenda would be an out
standing evidence of the genuine
interest aroused throughout the
United States not only among the
dark people but as well among
those militant sympathizers of
lighter hue. But there is not space
for that here.

Group Activity

A veritable beehive marked the
activity of the several groups as
they took their assigned places in
the hall and listened with keen at
tention or made their own special
plea for the cherished panacea. The
busy and noise crowded press room

Interesting Scenes

Many interesting scenes marked
the course of the gathering. Meet
ing of delegates from far distant
places united after months or years
of separation; the bonhomie of
stranger delegates as they ex-
changed cards of introduction and
launched upon earnest discussions
of plans and resolutions they hoped
to champion.

Resolutions

, This was the aim of the many
resolutions that were written by
the groups after a careful and thor
ough discussion of that phase of
the problem given to each and later
crystallized in the final set ap-
proved by the full committee and
endorsed by the entire body of
delegates.

Fear of Communists

This evidence of white sympathy
was manifested principally by
members of the Communist and So
cialist parties and the basis of
many rumors that these organiza-
tions were seeking to control and
direct the course of action char
tered by the congress.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1936-02-28
Fails of Influence

The activities of these groups
have not greatly embarrassed con-
gress leaders and have failed ut
terly in changing the firm determi-
nation of delegates to work out a
plan of action that would include
any cooperation any group might
wish to give while holding tena-
ciously to the thought that the
golden hour had come when Negr6
men and women could work out
their own salvations.
