c.ty and \j;hile here were the guests
of C. C. Johnson Consistory, whose |
/lhrs'rOui; Commander is W. N. Ros-|
borough.
Continuing his explanation of purpose,
Mr. Allen said-that " Since. Ma- |
sonry, disregarding races or groups, I
. include about four million of the best!
people of the"country and since three
handled thousand Negroes are Masons;
and in view of the centuries of
Masonic history for constructive ser
vice to humanity, one can readily re*
. ccive the tremendous instrumentality
involved in reconciling, and adjusting
. * ' . race differences, ' 7
Amer'ca must take care of its popiiulation,
including the Negro, either
by providing opportunity for self support-and
maintaining sources of educa
tiort tio that end; or-by-spending vastly
more money and energy to erect
. > and sustain poor houses, .jpenal insti!
tutions and charitable organizations,
Th(. gl owing noedr. of the Negro for
' services and commodities representative
of the h'gher standards of living
| as a nice, more nearly approaches the
I calls for thP development of the business
sfde.to race life. Our order is
encouraging and fostering this. We
are co-opornting with the United
| . States . department *\t- Pniwmpw>A 111
p its effort to distribute knowledge of
better business practices, more efficiency
and great dependability to
Negroes as it serves otiiers in business
so that Olir mevcVinlue mnv moCn
themselves more useful; and < make
v. --their race a greater asset-to- -their
^nTferentr communities^. The Negro is
the reserved force of the South.
Ther0 is where he will prove himself.
"If we can hook up Negro labor and
- "Industry to the nations, productive
machinery so as to utilize all of the
protcntive power white America will
enjoy a profit front Negro markets,
rather'than to .hav^ anxieties about
Race relations; and Masonry will have
again served the world in accordance
with its traditions.1!*' .

he is the only Colored mem~
ber of the Baltimore zoning commission
and of the Maryland labor commission.
In private life he is a Real

equally common in commercial, civic
and inter-racial affairs. Their trip
was laid out in detail by passenger
officials of the Baltimore & Ohio..
railr'o'd -and the Southern Jailroad.
Complete transportations were made
for the itinery involving over a dozen
f " different railroads.

duties could not make the entire tour,
