HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925 BUSINESS LEAGUE PLANS TO ORGANIZE TEXAS. At the recent twenty-sixth annual session of the National Negro Business League, held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it was definitely decided to push plans immediately for the organization of local leagues and commercial clubs in Texas, all to be affiliated with the national organization. The league heads are of the opinion that Texas is a very fertile and virgin field for the colored business and professional men, but that these men and women are not taking advantage of their wonderful opportunities through organized efforts and concentration of forces. Excepting Dallas, which had several representatives present at the Tulsa meeting, the other Texas cities, considering the close proximity of the league city to the Lone Star State, were not well represented. With the largest colored population in the state, Houston only had three representatives at the recent Tulsa league session, notwithstanding the fact that this city was honored with more men on program than any city in the country—really, more than the quota assigned some of the states. What was the question? Only two Houston men were willing to sacrifice a little time and money to go to the league in Oklahoma City, and fill their places on the printed program. Other Texas cities had no representation there, which showed a manifest lack of interest in an organization that is destined to become the greatest and most powerful single body in America for advancing and protecting the commercial and economic interests of our racial contingent. The National Negro Business League has, heretofore, been large inspirational; but a new program of action has been determined upon by the official family, and to put over this program the various states must perfect and maintain their local leagues. The league is making no mistake in its plans to organize or organize Texas; for, this state offers that organization and the race a must splendid opportunity for a real constructive service along business lines. Texas has produced a bumper crop of big men and women who are making good in all parts of this country—many of them being outstanding and conspicuous leaders in business, education, religion and politics; and what this state has done in the past, in giving to the world such characters, can and must be done again. The day of individualism is passe; in its stead is the day of cooperation. Individually, the colored man in Texas, in many instances, has done and is doing remarkably well; but our lack of group action and co-ordination of our forces (each for all and for each), is no small factor in retarding our commercial and economic progress. In Houston we find it quite difficult to create and maintain even passing interest in a business league or commercial club, due largely to the fact that we have not been educated to think in terms of each other. If John is getting along all right in his business, is able to pay his bills and make some appreciable headway in the accumulation of material things, he loses sight of Jim who is struggling hard to keep his head above the business waters and often is in imminent danger of sinking. In our anxiety to make money and get up in the business and professional world, we too often lose sight of the scriptural admonition that "the strong must bear the infirmities of the weak" and that "where much is known, much is required." The Informer trusts that the National Negro Business League will initiate its program in the Lone Star state before 1925 expires, for this state certainly stands in need of the kind of program that the national organization plans in Texas and other states. Furthermore, The Informer will do its bit to assist the league heads in fostering the movement in this state, and hopes that the plan as outlined at Tulsa will not die abnormally. The Houston Informer The Mirror-- (Continued from Page One) ers were compelled to respond to several encount. Our only criticism of the Tulsa meeting is that the local committee was not present at hours that the league was trying to hold sessions, and these events naturally diminished the attendance at Tulsa—Nero Tulsa—is wonderful, marvelous, startling, particularly colorful. We have years ago a mob of white hoodies had in waste the entire colored cotton of the buildings, fire, after pillaging, piling and plumbing the places and houses of homestead. But Black Tulsa has come to be the most popular of the buildings are 100 percent better than they were before the fire, and the center of Nero business activity, with its modern and attractive house designs, is the colored people of Tulsa operate their own business in the lines of activity engaged in by our people in this Oklahoma Rube Foster brought his Chicago ball club ball down to meet the Kansas City Chiefs at the Footsteps were no match for the Monarchs, the latter winning all three games, 84-13-10 and 84-12-10.

We were asked to present the weather, league, baseball and other events.

F. RICHARDSON, Editor Houston Informer. Tulsa, Ok. Aug. 19, 1925. Mr. President, Officers and Members of the National Negro Business The subject of my discussion, "Negro Business in Houston," assigned me by Secretary A. L. Holey, in due perhaps, with some Bureaus and facts regarding Negro business in Houston by no a tax at a bureaus honoring Mr. Holey and Mr. Spandling, during the year. As you will observe from some statistics that we shall recite subsequently, Negro business in Houston is large and diverse; individual line; we have no companies, corporations, or cetera, except the insurance companies doing business in our city. Individually, the Negro has made great headway in the community in our city, but collectively, we do not wear clothes, and it seems that some exterior or outside force must be inducted into the community and show our men and women the power in group action and co-ordination of forces. We must organize our ordination, corporations. Everywhere individuals are learning the lessons of all concern; and the man or race that is most interested in the course will be least in the great commercial and economic shuffle, read Of the local postoffice carriers in the city of Houston, virtually 75 per cent of them are men predominate as railway mails clerk on most of the railroadled outing of it to Houston, with half of them being one colored clerk in the Houston postoffice, two colored collectors of mails, all operators of trucks being colored collectors. in, we drove in a nice rain until this week, beyond Morrison and beyond Marlin and Reagan that chained them to the side of the last fall.

Houston's churches mention, but (as to relate) most of these religious leaders are only connoisseurs; thus they are falling down miserably on their job of helping to develop "like priest, like people," is an ancient moribund and adage that is often used to describe religious leaders. If our ministers will preach more about the importance of things celestial; more about the importance of things earthly; more about the importance of after they, after they will be a tower of strength in assisting us to 'lead our land' and to 'lead our people' in the nomic oppression and repression to the land of commercial achievements.

Look what our editor has done for Oklahoma. You know, he Editor,扎克·阿莱德, has been a dayday, and here's the report from that state on the next day: * Oklahoma City, Al. J.—There are shoes to Palm Beach suit, including boots and divers' riggings, in Oklahoma. At *Makacego snow fall after a wind storm*. The temperature at noon was a little above the normal. Bayton and Tahquah miniature twisters down and chanced frightened by the rain and caused other small damage. *Rain over all of the eastern part of Oklahoma*, while the western part was covered in dense tufts of an anti-salmon league meeting.* Every now and then—more often now than there—we read where the team has pitched the city council have pitted the city council for certain improvements—white city council, sometimes, and this is quite often, too, why it is that our council—college, we know, has a tenacity to ask or a teney weenie bit of improvements from a city whose upwea is to be called a city, galued by continually grubbing and complaining, to each other, and never compelled to those who have the power to make a decision to say, "Ask and we may receive," the put emphasis on the ask, and then the complaint, and not understanding it came too late to be much help to this year's crop year coming and the cattle need to fall and winter, one must conclude that the rink, though coming late, was not to this and other occurrences of Texas.

He was on the scene when leaders were few and when he was to do. As the pastor of Aniobich Baptist Church, and later of Bedi Baptist Church, and later of Bedi Baptist Church, that is due to his advice and wise counsel that the Fourth ward could at least own the owners than any other section of the city. His advice was always to say that he is given the credit for the founding of Houston College, in honoring the memory of Jack Yates not only done itself credit, but honors the colored CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS 武 ```markdown ```
