Rumored Congress Fostered by.

Whether this skepticism of
the tradesmen is due to the renort
that tho rnncrpss is heirnrt
fostered by the Third Interna-j
tional whichr** is a communistic'
movement of to the fact that
the Congress has not previously j
to attain the ends desired after
'demanding?h n?t know ;
According to sentiment ex-!
pressed by some of the-trades-;
men and unionist the laborers
have no inclination to be connected
with any socialistic or
eorhmunistic movetnent and are
under the impression that only
turmoil and strife - can-obtain,
from their.affiliation.
- It- is. known. noweverr~fhgtr
the American Federation of
Labor has warned all trades
unionist to refrainv from any
.connection with?the congress.William
Green, president oL the
Federation, dec-lareds that "It
will not benefit the Negro, but
is designed to instill into the
lives of the r&ce ~~ the most pernicious
doctrines?race hatred.'
