Delegate Describes
I. Sixth Annual
American Congress
By ERMA CLARDY

The Sixth Annual American
Youth Congress which convened
at Lake Geneva, Wis, July 81,
1910, was the most successful con-
ference in its history. There were
533 delegates and 95 observers
from all kinds of organizations.
This factor led to the democracy
and interest of the conference.
The delegates came from labor,
farm, student, religious, and politi-
cal organizations. There was a
large delegation of Negroes from
all sections of the country. There
were six Negro delegates from
Minnesota, one from Duluth, one
from st. Paul, and four from Min
neapOlis.
Negroes and whites, Jews, and
Gentiles all expressed their opin-
ions regarding major issues of the
day and told of local problems and
their relations to these issues which
were mainly Civil Liberties, .Educa-
ton, Jobs, Rural Problems, Peace,
Health, and Housing.
Twas impressed by the sincerity,
the cooperativeness, and the eager
ness to be fair and just in all of
these problems by the whole
American Youth Congressional
body.
We were told by delegates of
the problems of the fisheries, can
neries, and lumber industries Of the
West Coast. From the East Coast
delegates told of the problems in
the mining and manufacturing in
dustries, and the slave markets of
Philadelphia and New York, where
girls, both white and black, stand
on street corners seeking work for
which they are paid as little as 30
cents per day. The sharecroppers
of the South, from Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and Missouri
told of their low incomes, the dis
possessions of their lands, their
problems of ill-housing, ill-health,
and the reign of ignorance which
aids in keeping these people, both
black and white, oppressed.
Resolutions were passed to aid
in the correction of all Of these
ills. The passage of such bills as
the Geyer Anti-Poll Tax Bill, the
.Anti-Lynching Bill, Wagner Health
Bill, the Debt Adjustment Bill, and
the adoption of the American
Youth Act was recommended. The
American Youth Congress sup
ports the extension and stabiliza-
ton of the NYA, the .CCC, and the
WPA." It also believes in chang
ing the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration to aid and benefit
the small farmer and sharecropper
to those who work the land"
Quotation taken from the report
of the Rural Commission.)
Every Negro organization in the
state of Minnesota should familiar
ize itself with the program of the
American Youth Congress which
is the most militant, the most
progressive group of its kind in
this country. In my opinion it is
unwise for Negro people, labor
people, economic, social, student,
political, and religious groups to
be Influenced by the misrepresenta-
ton of facts concerning the Con-
gress by the American daily press.

plan, it will tend toward solution
of some of our young peoples ca
reer problems.
Overwhelming enthusiasm and
response from College Presidents
throughout the country, without a
single dissenting voice, greeted the
proposal of the Walter Mack Job
Awards for American Youth, said
Mr.. Mack. The project was de-
scribed in a letter sent to these
College Presidents with the re-
quest that they designate the 1910
graduate from their own college
who fitted in with the require
ments. (Coeducational institutions
were allowed both a man and a
woman entrant.) Applicants had
to be twenty-one years of age;
members of the current graduating
class, and in need Of employment
after graduation. Preferred ap-
plicants were those already select
ed by classmates as "Most Likely
to Succeed" or by similar title;
where these did not accept the OPP
portunity, the President was asked
to have a responsible member of
the faculty select the student who,
in his judgment, best qualified.
Three hundred and thirty men and
women from two hundred and fifty
four colleges in forty-five states
entered applications, and were then
required to write essays on Chow
