In no area Of the Negroes life
has his economic future been more
harshly handicapped than in his
education. A census study in 1852
revealed that while 1913 per cent
Of Negroes above the age Of So
were unable TO read or white, a
mong youths cages 1920 the IL
literacy rate had fallen TO 80 per
cent.
There are more than half again
as many Negroes in U. S. colleges
and universities as there are sub
jects of Great Britain attending
British universities.
Many Obstacles StiII In Way
But Fortune points out, there
are still many dismal evidences Of
forces standing in the way Of Ne
gro progress.
Dissemination is stin the norm
in industry: the dirtier the job,
the more readily IL is available 10
the Negro"
There is still much discrimina-
ton in unions, which, by and large
have not been the great champion
Of Negro rights that many liberals
have been led 10 believe.
Fortune quoted one NAACP
leader as saying, the CLIO has
sold quite a bill Of goods to the
American liberal about its racial
record

Lnhor Unions IInre McIned

Labor Unions Have Helped
Tho magazine added that in the
South, labor unions more than any
other institution with the pos
slble exception of the Roman
Catholic church, have effectively
assisted Negro organizations in
putting pressure on the barriers OF
segregation.
OF some o million privately fin
anced housing units erected be-
tween 1885 and 1850. only slightly
over one per cent have been open
to Negroes. In the most crowded
Negro block in Harlem, the popu-
lation density Is equivalent to
crowding everyone in the u, s.
into two-thirds OF New York city.
Negro Farmer Worse OFF
The bleakest area of Negro life,
Fortune says, Is the Negro farm,
The plight Of the Negro farmer
has been getting worse and worse
for more than 30 years.
According to the magazine.
THE Negro farmer lacks, In the
best Of times, even enough know
ledge Of the law TO acquire sound
title TO his land, oral leases are
legally permissible in every
Southern state.
In revolutionary time Of
mechanization, the Negro farmer
is economically crippled, He lacks
capital. He lacks credit. He lacks
enough acreage 10 support mech
anization. He lacks the technical
skin 10 mechanic"
Negro Il Buying Freedom
Editor Hughes draws these con,
illusions in his report:
'In this mid-2Oth century, the
American Negro is, in effect, &c,
curing his freedom in a most an
cient way He is buying H. His
progress is due, not exclusively
but essentially, 20 economic forces
needing no moral command but
simply creating jobs where none
previously existed"
However, Fortune says, that
any faltering Of the American &c.
onomy will probably hurt the Ne.

self"
Hughes said: The Negro has
advanced farther during this time
than in the 20 odd years since
emancipation and he will not be
satisfied indefinitely with a sec
ond class economic life"
The magazine also reports that
Negro leaders, fresh from legal
victories on the school front are
now working toward a break
through in the arena Of greatest
resistance housing.
Some Of the facts Of the Negroes
economic life as revealed by For
tune is as follows:
The Negro populations total
cash income after taxes is Sl5,-

purchasing power almost match
ing the value Of all merchandise

great as Canada and twice the size

of Border Methodist said it is up
TO his official board as TO what
is to be done about the Hennepin
Avenue Methodist invitation. The
regular meeting Of the board will
be on December %, the fourth
Sunday of the month.
He said no special meeting of
the board to consider the new de-
velopment was contemplated.
Rev. Sexton said the invitation
from Hennepin Methodist was In
line with the majority senti-
ment of the General Conference
of the Methodist church in Min
neapolis TO which he was dele
gate this summer.
He said, The invitation from
our brethren at Hennepin Metho-
dist is best understood in the light
of the great pronouncements Of
faith in Christian fellowship with
out regard to race or color which
was one Of the main themes Of
the General Conference Of the
Methodist church.
The action of Hennepin Metho-
dist was a forward step and indi-
cation of the desire and willing
ness Of the membership of a great
church to pursue a path of
Christian church making unique in
American church annals"
"Our church, at the General
Conference decided to move for
ward in a spirit of love to bring
all the people who will come under
one banner without regard TO
race"
DIR. Sexton continued, "Henne-
pin Avenue Methodist, a leader a
mong religious institutions Of the
nation, has chosen to practice
what many preach but fear "a
practice the true fellowship OF
Gods children and the oneness OF
man under the grace Of Jesus
Christ"
Wendell c. Jones, 1928 Aldrich
Av S, longtime civic figure, re-
tired government employee ant
treasurer of Border Methodist fol
many years said he favored the
merger of the two chuches.
Aside from the Christian impli'
cations. such a merger would
prove the solution of Borders

TITS the best thing that has
happened to Border church and

said his wife also was favorable.
