convention has released a new spirit
Of hope and loyalty among the Ne
gro people Of the Nation.
Summary Of Convention
Summarizing the results or the
Episcopal General Convention clos
ing its meeting at Cincinnati this
week certain facts stand out as spe--
cially interesting to Negro Church
men. 70 name few
This is the first convention in.
which 50 large a place Is given
to Negroes ON 50 many Of the
programs presented to the public.
N his radio broadcast Bishop Stew
art Of Chicago said that the church
cared for all its members, white.
black, brown, red, yellow, with equal
Christian love and solicitude, thus
giving to those with eyes to see the
evidence Of human inclusiveness of
the Body Of Christ al exemplified by
this church. IN the planning FOR the
two weeks program identical con
sidefation was given the Negro in
every item and Negroes attended in
goodly numbers as time and circum-
stances permitted, from many dis
tant states to participate, to be in
structed, to enjoy. Every hotel and
other places catering to public pa
tronage courteously served them with
with lodging, food and other needs.
Cincinnati showed Itself most cor
dial and respectful host to every
Negro visitor and guest of the CON
vention.
! Perhaps for the first time an inn
portant matter Of National signifi--
cance was unanimously passed, and
machinery created by both Houses
of the Convention TO widen and in--
crease the interest of the Church in
Negroes in fields other than the
American Church Institute for Ne
groes; and nearly eighty per cent ef
the members in this machinery conn
prise Negro priests and laymen.
OF the high points reached in the
convention mass meetings three were
by Negro speakers:
Lieut.. Lawrence Oyley Of Washing
! ton, DC, amazed the Magfai The
| atra crowed to the doors with his
| narration Of the sharo-eropp SUI
| ferings, the NEGRO laborer's dilemma
/ in his expeience with Labor Unions
| as such, the Housing and Slum situ-
| alton 10 which Negroes are driven
against their will and the seeming
| apathy Of chufchmen generally IN the
| face of all this.
Professor Strange of OlSolona Normal
and Industrial School, one Of the
nine schools Of the Church Institute,
| brought almost too vividlv to the
| meeting the sad and shameful con-
ditions which arc sometimes the re-
suits Of OkoIonas forced refusals

to accept would-be students. His was
ringing hamaa plea for help and
opportunity to serve i waiting people
desifous Of education and training.
At the Domestic Missions Mass Meet
ing the Rev. Robert 4 Hohnson Of
New Bern, NC, reeounted certain
definite askings in an address care
fully prepared and amiably presented.
Create aggregations To colored
churchmen sufficiently large to inn
press the Negro public and to give
TO churchmen the sense Of power and
esteem Provide training in respon--
sibility for Negro leadership. Give
representative by clergy and laity IN
the highest councils * the church
and an opportunity to share all that
the church has and Is, offer to the
church all that they are and have.
Make the appointment to the office
IN the church not a racial gesture
but a normal feature Of the churchs
inclusive life.
So the convention closes with q
definite promise of rosy dawn IN
matters pertaining especially to Ne
gro communicates who regard the
church with abounding faith, iilial
love, and the assurance of certain
hope that under God she will do
! right.

Labor Trouble

Labor Trouble
We note that the Black Dispatch,
one Of the more progressive papers
of our group, has postponed its fol-
NAL dedication of its new Goss
straightline press from October Ia 10
the 28th, due to labor trouble. The
trouble IS that the white Pressmen's 's
Union of Oklahoma City, Okla,
where the paper is published, want
cd Editor Roscoe Dungee to hire d
white crew OF three men with help
er to man the press, and not use
coiored men, as had already been
agreed. Editor Dungee announces
that he had an understanding with
the union that they would coach col
ored men to man the press, but when
It came to a show-down, the union
refused. Editor Dungee then an
nounced that the press would never
be run, if he could not operate it
with colored workmen.
We wish to commend Editor Dun
gee on this stand. The time is past
when colored business men can be
excused for bowing to prejudicee
white unions and refusing to give
their own people employment which
they cannot get from whites. If il
was q question Of union shop, ane
the union was fair to colored peo-
pie, then the stand of the uniol
would be justified. But when it j:
a question Of a union shop, and TIL.
union is Lily White, we say resis
the union to the utmost.

NJ. X. Commission,

An important move on the civil
rights front is the getting under wav
OF the New York State Commission
which Is investigating conditions
among colored people. The Com
mission will hear testimony Oh dis
elimination in eployment BY public
utilities and even the Civil Service
and other public employment, and
will delve into the rumors Of organi--
zed action among landlords, real es-
tate firms and renting agencies,
which is detrimental to the interests
of our group.
The commission has $4,000 to
spend in this survey and will confine
It's activities to the main urban cen
ters. Lester B. Granger, we'll known
for his aggressiveness, is executive
director of the Commission, and Hon
William T. Andrews, member of As
sembly from Harlem's 21st District,
is vice chairman, and Hon. Robert
w. Justice, member Of Assembly
from Harlem's 10th District, Is a
member Of the Commission. Since
Negroes are well represented on the
! Commission, both as guiding and re-
viewing officials, and as actual di-
rectors Of the work, we may expect
an honest and vital report, which il
| is announced will be used as a guide
| by the New York Legislature in mat
ters affecting the group.
