Two weeks have elapsed since
the adjourning of the second annu-
al convention of the National Ne
gro Congress in Philadelphia. The
writer, a delegate from the Farm
er-Labor Association of Minnesota,
has had ample opportunity to sur
vey his impressions of the conven-
ton. The excitement, turmoil, and
heat which ever attend such gath
erings have died, and the proceed
ings can now be viewed with a
calm dispassion.
Three outstanding characters
tics of the Congress were much in
evidence at Philadelphia. First,
the Congress showed encouraging
signs of permanency; second, its
activities are winning widespread
interest; and third, there is ten
dency on the part of certain fac
tons to seek control of the or
ganization, regardless of the cost.
That the Congress has developed
into a potentially permanent set-up
was evidenced by (a) the large
number of organizations represent
ed, and (b) the definite, concrete,
and commendable program it has
outlined for itself. No body, ask
ing the allied support of groups
serving the cause of justice, could
attract representation from more
than five hundred sources without
taking unto itself a permanent
flavor. Such a cross section of sup
port can only be construed as
meaning that these responsible or
CARNATIONS feel they are lending
their aid to cause with an excel
lent chance of permanent existence.
No little praise is due the spon-
sors of the Congress because they
have been able to attract such
widespread support.
The rapidly growing interest
among the rank and file for the
Congress presents a most encour-
aging aspect. Talking with many
of the delegates, the writer was
profoundly impressed with the zeal
in evidence everywhere. Stories of
the deep interest of the man in

Congress Rolls

country were heard on all sides.
The constructive suggestions
brought by instructed delegates
from their respective localities
showed that the folks back home
were very much concerned with the
welfare and future of the Con-
gress. Over thousand resolutions
were placed before the resolutions
committee; and while many of
them were dupicatory in content,
all but a scant few were construc-
tive and clearly portrayed the deep
thought and great care that had
been given their construction. And
out of all of these submissions a
clean-cut, simple and helpful pro-
gram can and will be devised.
The ambitious program of the
Congress is wide in scope, and en-
compasses every field of our ad-
vancement. Space will not permit
a detailed discussion of that pro-
gram here, but two phases of it
deserve some comment. The eff
fort of the Congress to assist in
the unionization of Negro labor is
of great importance to US all, and
carries a far-reaching effect. The
alliance of Negro labor to both the
A. F. of L. and c. /. o. can do no
other than lift our economic stand,
ards to an appreciate degree. This
alliance is becoming an actuality
chiefly because of the changing at
titude of white labor toward the
darker brethren. Labor leaders
are now completely convinced
whether the conviction is reluctant
or not-that labor can achieve no
lasting victory in America without
the support of ALL workers. Lead
ers of the Congress have been
quick to take full advantage of this
knowledge and are feverishly CASH
ing in on it. Steel, automobile and
white collar unions have been the
particular targets of their guns,
and from the reports made in the
labor symposiums, the conviction
prevailed that splendid progress
was being made therein.
Youth activities is the other
phase of Congress activity which
has become a powerful factor in
the organizations program. This
