Following the Southern Youth
Con'ference, held February past
in Richmond, Virginia, there has
a* militant Southein
youth movement which in turn
has ibrought trade union organi

of Southern workers.
Mr. Davis stated that tTie Con-

the part it played in oi^anizing

and which en^raced a majority
of Negro community leaders.
“Fifteen months of activity
have won many friends and af
