CIVIL RIGHTS CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The assembly of some 900
delegates in an interracial and inter-faith conference on
civil rights here February 1918, gave added significance
to the observance of national Brotherhood Week.
The conference, initiated by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People and co-sponsored
by 81 other national organizations, brought to Washington
delegates from 35 states who voiced an unanimous demand
for revision of the Senate rules to make it easier to break
~filibusters against civil rights measures.
The delegates-Negro, white and Japanese-Ameri-
can; Protestant, Catholic and Jewish; native and foreign
born; trade unionists and business and professional men
and Women-spent two days in Washington attending
meetings, visiting their respective senators and represen-
tatives, and comforting with officials of the national Dem
ocratic and Republican committees.
In a declaration unanimously adopted by the confer
ence, the delegates called upon the Senate ito revise Sem
ate Rule p which stands as the principal %roadblock to the
enactment Of urgently needed civil rights legislation. I'm
til this obstacle is removed, there can be no hope for con-
gressional action against the forces of bigotry.''
The delegates asked also for "the establishment of a
federal Fair Employment Practices Commission with en-
forcement powers; for the abolition of the poll tax as a
requirement for voting, and for a federal anti-lynching
law. Further, we call upon both major parties to include
in their platforms a plank advocating a rule which will
make it possible to curb filibusters by the vote of a major
ity of senators present"
Warning that they would accept no cease fire. in
the fight for civil rights, the delegates affirmed that they
intended to "carry this vital fight into the precincts where
the people of America live and vote.

"but I'm convinced that tennis is
a better conditioner than golf for
a baseball player. In golf you
swing at a stationary object, while
in tennis it is moving, like in base
ball. Ralph agrees and not merely
because he is a really fine tennis
player"
Ralph, it seems, played an I'M
