MEN FOR 6 MILLION


Philadelphia, June l8-Spo-
kesmen for the twenty-one
national Negro business, chu-
rch, professional labor and civ
il rights organizations, with a
total membership Of s, O84,OOO
appeared before the Republic
an platform Committee today
to voice the disappointment of
Negro voters at the record of
the 8$th Congress and to de-
mand action by the Republic
ian party on civil rights legis-
lation.
The tatement prepared by
the combinations committee of
the Negro organizations de-
clared: 1--WE would be less
than honest with you and our
selves if we did not say frank
ly that the members of our
organizations have been deep
ly disappointed by the COM
plete failure Of the Republic
ian controlled 8Oth Congress
to enact any Of the civil rights
legislation pledged in the 1914
--Individual Republican
and Democratic senators and
congressman have sought in
vain to secure action uon the
fair employment practice COM
mittee, the anti-lynching and
the anti-poll tax bills. But a
combination of conservative
Republicans and Democratic
members Of Congress have US
ed every possible legislative
device to avoid enactment Of
this promised and sorely need
ed legislation"
Calling the attention of the
Republican Party to the fast
that the Negro vote, which
holds the potential balance Of
power in reasonably close ell
ections in seventeen states
with 295 electoral votes, has
become increasingly an indie
pendent vote during the past
thirty years, the Negro spoke
smen demanded to know whe-
Their or not the Republican
platform for 1913 is to be mea-
ningless. They urge the conven
ton to take an unequivocal po-
sition on each Of the issues
outlined in the Declaration Of
Negro Voters, which was dra-
fled on March 9th by repres-
entatives of the twenty-one
organizations. This declara-
ton was presented to the Re-
ublician Platform Committee.

as much as minutes.
Wall Street was singing the post
election blues again.
On Saturday buying interest
perked up a bit at the start and
leading issues got ahead by as much
as point or more. Demand didn't
amount to much, though, and the
days best gains were lowered by
the close.
What was the net result of post

Hit Low Since April.
Prices, on the average, broke to
the lowest level since April, as meas
ured by the Associated Press COM

Individual issues were hammered
down 81 to more than $40 a share
The market value of all stocks on
the exchange declined by about
4,500, ,OOO,0O
In four days of business more than
100000 shares of stock changed
hands in the exchange.
Little investors from all parts of
the country sold out their 8 or S
or 10 shares. because they found a
Democratic administration would
be for business.
Professional traders, many of
whom had bought substantial
amounts of stocks in anticipation
of changed administration, pulled
out Of the market in a hurry and
nervously tried to guess when the
bottom would be reached.
Well-to-do investors lightened
their portfolios, in disappointment
that the promise of a business
administration" had gone up In
smoke, and in fear that business
profits might also 60 up in smoke.
And on the buying side were
investors and spectators looking
for a bargain, or covering a short
position, and many buying simply
because they believed business would
not go to the dogs overnight.
Selling was based largely on a
psychology of fear-fear of what the
incoming administration would do
about taxes, labor, farm support
prices, controls. housing, about
dozens of situations which would
directly or indirectly affect profits.
