COMMITTEE OF INTERRACIAL CONFERENCE
OF CHURCH WOMEN REPORTS
Washington, Dec. 2—Empha
sizing the need for more human
relationships between white
and colored women, the Contin
uation Committee of the Inter
racial Conference of Church
Women today made public its
findings for constructive meas
ures for creating goodwill be
tween them.
At a recent conference at Ea
gle's Mere, which was attended
by white and Negro women
from botn the South and the
North* this Continuation Com
mittee was appointed to study
the various recommendations
ma/fa anH to publish them as
"findings" to go to church wo
men throughout the country as
a working program. "Realiz*
ing that interracial action must
be preceded by interracial
thinking, says the statement;
"we find that the women of our
churches need to learn to work
with rather than for the Negro.
We believe that existing ehurch
organizations constitute' the
best channel for creating this
attitude.” j.
* An interesting suggestion is
cooperation 6f the white and Ne-t
gro churches in the "support of
visiting housekeepers’’* ' who
would correspond to "visiting
nurses” except that they would
devote themselves to instruction
. and aid in housekeeping* *
V* It is urged that more ^stress
be laid on educational and re
creational facilities in pfdl
towfis and rural communities..
"Forced housing segregation”
is condemned as "unspiritual
and undemocratic.” Church wo
men are urged to take a definite;
In regard to lynchiri|f the
church women say: "We urge
that preventive measures
against lynching be adopted* and
that ready cooperation be given
those in control of such situa
tions; that an open forum be se
cured in the daily papers an/,
press generally, to create proper
sentiment and right public opin
ion.
Church women are urged to
study “causes and effects upon
industry and the home of the
increasing employment of mar
ried women in industry.” "In
view of the limitations of oppor
tunities tor Negro women in
employment we uggest that
groups of women be encouraged
to become aware of conditions
in industry and in other forms
' of employment in their commu
nities and States.” Church bo
dies and social agencies are re
quested to give employment to
Negro stenographers and clerks;
Increased emphasis upon in*
terradal education is . urged. It
is proposed that Race Relations
Sunday be made Race Relations
weeK
In behalf of justice for Ne
groes, the Committee says:
“Interracial committees of
church women can do a great
service for their communities
'by: ■
“Becoming informed of the
facts concerning Negro children
in the community;
“Keeping in touch with the
juvenile courts* and insisting
that Negro children, receive, the
same thoughtful attention and
care that, is given, to children of
other races ;.. y
“Insuring on —_
ment of Negro prob
cers; . ....
“Securing provision for re
creational opportunities for Ne
gro children, through ’ thje
Scouts, Camp fires,
serves and Hi Ts;
“Encouraging deputations or
white and Negro women to ait
through trials of boys and gifts
in the interest of justice and for
consideration of all factors
Constant observation
"“’ ins, especially for
ind women—
and old criminals;
■ That occupation may be pro
vided; ;
>That suitable places shall be
secured for them on their re
lease;
By seeing that proper counsel
is secured for Negro cases;
“Recognizing the power of the
press the chureh women suggest
that:
“Use be made, as far as possif
ble, of u*e power of the press to
influence1 and create wholesome
and just impressions to bring
about better understanding be+
tween the races;
“Cburc- women seek to set
cure the unlimited power of met
ropolitan papers mid that
through church columns topics
on race meetings and work
which the xihce. Committees are
doing in each; community shall
be fully recorded; V
s “Definite effort 'Ibe, make by
church women to secure in .the
press an emphasis pn construe-?
tive news items and articles in
regard to the Negro, rather than
on crimes and other derogatory
itera&. <., y.; ’,.
“Special suggestions about the
education: of young people ^nd
interracial matters are urged.”
