Gets 30 Days

amateur golfer, should have re-
manned out of the Minneapolis po-
lice court, Tuesday.

The jurist Immediately charged
Donaldson with disorder1y conduct,

main issue to confront the dele
gates would be how far to the left
the Congress would go. That it
did swing out in that direction to
an appreciate degree was most
evident, AS to the wisdom of this
course, only time can tell, but for
the moment the consensus of a
large number of delegates was to
the effect that with so much at
stake for the Negro, it was ex-
tremely unfortunate that the issue
was so prominently thrust into the
fore. The writer will discuss this
at length in his next weeks article.
Lewis Impressed
The address of John L. Lewis of
the CLIO made a profound impress
sion on the assembly. The speech,
broadcast over a national hook-up,
was freely interpreted throughout
the country as being a bid for the
Negro allegiance to labor's nom
partisan league. The speech and
invitation were favorably received
by the majority of delegates, as
was the speakers injunction for
Negroes to organize on all fronts.
Randolph Strikes at Isms
The outstanding point in the ad-
dress of Phillip Randolph, presi-
dent of the Congress, was the plea
to Negroes to fight their own fight,
without the influence of or contact
with any "isms" or outside assist
ance which would in any way i'm
pair their standing as American
citizens. The head of the largest
Negro union in the world turned in
a masterpiece of oratory and
sagacity.
John D. Davis, executive secre-
tary of the Congress, in his open
ing remarks to the Convention,
made, too, an impressive address.
His remarks, however, relative to
communistic sympathy, precipi-
tated split between left and right
wing elements which is apt to be
felt for a long time to come.
No one questioned his sincerity
and honesty, both of which are i'm
peccable, but there was not little |
about the expediency of |
this remark which made capital |
in all the larger Eastern
lailies.
All discussion groups brought
'ut most enlightening comment
Upon the Negroes universal deter
nination to take his rightful place
n American affairs. 1t also brought
% light the fact that the Negro is
'ecoming Independent in his politi-
al thought, and will strike vicious
Y at his enemies and will reward
lis friends, regardless as to what
POLITICAL label they might bear.
With this attitude, there will GER
ainly be no quarrel among Ne
'roes themselves.
James Slemmons of the Mime
polls Joint Negro Council, and
am Reed and William Heron of
he st. Paul Joint Negro Labor
'ouncil, all took an active part in
he affairs of the convention and
anticipated freely in it's activities.
