Delegate Describes
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.
was 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 so
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, ll-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-Pon 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 stabiiza-
ton of the NYA, the CCC, and the
WPA." 1t 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.

Man Kills Wife;
Takes Own Life
Well Known Here

Chicago.-A Chicago man, EVIL
IDENTIFY temporarily mentally de-
ranged, shot and killed his wife
last Friday and then turned the
gun on himself. Both died almost
instantly.
The couple were Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry Lee Walker (Eugie Mae
WilIiamson) both well known in
the Twin Cities. They were mar
ried II years ago in St. Paul and
had visited in Minneapolis many
times. Mrs. Walker has a sister,
Mrs. Oscar Gates, and two broth
ers, Elmer and Preston Childress,
both residents of Minneapolis.
Evidently Walker who had been
in ill health and out of work for
several months had planned his
tragic deed for sometime. He
timed it oddly for his 18th we'd
ulHB anniversary
He with a woman friend of the
family had prepared an anniver-
sary dinner which was to be served
to several guests in the evening.
When Mrs. Walker came home
from Edison Novelty Co., where she
had held a responsible position for
IL years, Walker asked her to eat
dinner. She demurred, telling him
jokingly that she would await the
guests.
He insisted that she should eat
plenty as it would be their last
meal. Later he asked her to play
Chinese checkers "for the last
time"
Almost without warning, accord
ing to Mrs. Dorothy Borgess., who
with her three small children was
in the Walker home, the man
grabbed a revolver and told his
wife he was going ITO end it all"
Mrs. Walker and the visiting
woman, Mrs. Borgess., struggled
with the evidently insane man for
possession of the weapon. Finally
they succeeded in forcing it from
his hand to the floor.
Mrs. Borgess. ran to the phone
to call police as the couple strug-
gled. The phone was dead, having
evidently been disconnected by the
man. She then ran with her
screaming children from the fat
as Walker secured shotgun from
a corner of the room.
Walker then shot his wife twice,
killing her almost instantly and
then committed suicide by putting
two shells through his own body.
After the tragedy a friend of the
man, James OVERLY, also of Chica-
go, informed relatives that Walker
had told him several weeks ago
that he would soon be dead and
gave him the names Of hymns to
be sung at his funeral. OVERLY
thought he was TESTING and dis
missed his peculiar request from
his mind.
Funeral services were held for
Mrs. Walker Tuesday at Lathrop,
Mo-, her former home. Mrs. Oscar
Gates and Messrs. Elmer and Pres
ton Childress attended the funeral
rites.
