NEW YORK, Jan. 5-Con-
demnation Of discrimination
barring any persons OF civil
and political rights because Of
their race or color was ex-
pressed by the 1899 convention of
the American Federation of Labor
at Cincinnati, Ohio.
The subject Of racial discrimina-
ton was brought to the attention Of
the convention in a resolution intro
duced by Delegate A. Philip RAN
dolph and Milton P. Webster Of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters
The resolution said;
THE Negro people are the victims
of varied forms OF discrimination
which result in limiting their rights
in the purchase and use Of property.
Race discrimination serves to
deny their rights to certain types Of
employment thereby creating the
unfair and un-American practice
known as white mans Jobs, regard
less of merit and ability. which
makes for the economic impoverish-
ment Of the Negro people.
Race Jim Crowed
Hotels, restaurants and theatres,
colleges and universities, hospitals
and recreational facilities, together
with railway carriers and other
means of transportation and places
Of general public convenience,
licensed by city, state or federal
agencies, refuse the Negro people ac-
comodations on account Of race or
color. or humiliate and exploit and
rob them by segregation or Jim crow
practices that are extremely despic-
able and offensive to Negroes of a
similar plane Of culture and educa-
ton Of the white people that have
access to such conveniences.
The denial Of these elemental and
necessary privileges Of accomoda-
ton to the Negro people involves
their basic civil rights, guaranteed
by the Federal Constitution.

In protesting against ahis discrim-
nation, the resolution asked that the
American Federation OF Labor go
on record in harmony with it, past
declarations for the abolition of all
forms of discrimination on account
Of race or color, and call upon the
executive council, state and city
bodies, as well as federal locals, ma

the various departments to express
their definite moral opposition to
this sinister and destructive prac-
tice Of race discrimination, and to
support the fight for legislation
which purports to secure .or the Ne

rights"
Submits Resolution
In its report on the resolution, the
convention committee on resolutions
submitted the following declaration
which the convention UNANIMOUSLY
adopted:

partments Of the American Fedora

to secure for the Negro people full

SOFTBALL CLUBS TO
BE STRENGTHENED
BETTER GAMES PREDICTED
BY MANAGERS OF RE-
MANNING TEAMS

Leo NJ. Stanley, manager of
the Merchants, announced last
night at an unofficial meeting of
the four managers of teams then
in the Civilian League that the
Merits have decided to withdraw
from the circuit.
This action leaves the Civilian
loop with just three clubs of the
original five-team loop, which
means the remaining tens will
play more often and meet each
other in faster order than was
the case under the old schedule.
A friendly agreement between
the Civy managers calls for an
open roster in order that each
club may use any member of the
two withdrawn teams in an eff
fort to strengthen weak posi-
tons This will be productive Of
better playing and closer compe-
titive games in the future-a
quality that has been lacking
since the new season got under
way. A player released from
any of the teams must wait a
week before joining any 9TH
er club.
There are a number of excel
lent diamondball players on the
withdrawn Merchants and Saw
yer's BARRIERS who are now free
agents and their injection into
weak spots in the Bomber and
NavSta lineups will mean ''hot-
ter" competition. Plumbers pos
sess the strongest team of the
city at present and have few po-
sitions that could show improve

and the Naval Station ten piloted
by C. u. AllShouse.
This may mean the solution of

ton now facing managers of the
