Sunday was a significant day in Pilgrim Baptist Church, Chicago, not only because of the unusual messages de livered by Pastor Austin, but it was the first time since taking the Pastorate here, he has taken a 30 day leave of absence from the job. This was Pilgrim's opportunity to express herself in a tangible way as a people will do when they have learned to love their leader.

The membership showered Pastor and Mrs. Austin with green backs and even little Junius found his pockets filled with coin. At 4 a. m. Monday.

July 26, the family accompanied by George S. Witherspoon. one of our loyal mem bers hit the highway, rasior Austin spoke at the Shiloh Baptist Church. Columbus, luesday nignt of which Dr. J.

L. L. Taylor. These engagements are of long standing and this of course forces him to be absent from Ebenezer where he served so successfully for eleven years. From Pittsburgh he goes to Covington, Virginia, to join his daughter, who is spending her vacation in the home of her grand rrother.

The remainder of th month wiil find Pastor Austin and family seeking recreational rest down by the banks of the Jackson river in full view of the Appalachian Highland. Pilgrim is exceedingly anxious that he rest for it has been a mighty 'axation upon him here. Only recently in a public church meeting it was marie known that nearly $o0. 000 in old resi nsibilities had been cared for during his five months' pastorate, in fact throughout the West, already Pastor Austin is familiarly called the thousand dollar kid because of his smallness of stature and largeness of vision. i Pilgrim has not fallen under the thousand dollar mark any Sunday i since Pastor Austin arrived in the city and like Pittsburgh the church was arge enough for the folks uron come too limited.

Urban League Has Given Workers An Opportunity NEW YORK CITY, July 29. A report of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League, headed by T.

Arnold Hill, over the period covering March' 15, 1925 to May 31. 1926. given out here today contains facts concerning the Negro in industry of wide importance. The department was begun with five principal objects; active contact with employers, education of the Negro worker, development of friendly relations witn iioor groups, assistance to locals of the league and to committees where there are no leagues, and research and investiga tions on industrial subjects. Out of the first of these objects has come friendly relations with large chain stores and basic industries.

"It is the business of our department to prove that, whenever a fair chance has been given colored workers to demonstra'. i their skill, and when the management has taken the proper attitude, there is not an overpowering objection on the part of white workers. Industrial campaigns were carried on in Boston and Kansas City, Mo, which secured better jobs for Negroes in Boston, and valuable opportunities opened in Kansas City. The Negro worker, the report states. must be assisted to an appreciation anH understanding of what his in dustrial advancement means and re Active efforts have made with success to attack the prejudice which exists in the ranks of organized labor against Negroes.

Co operation with the local branches resulted in a strengthened presentation of the objects of the league to industries in cities where leagues were located. Research investigations in order to secure intelligent information on occupations, exceptional positions, the reaction and relationship of labor organizations, have formed a very important part of the work of the Social Inequality Is Held Solution Of Race Problem According to Ga.
