Los ANGELES, May 5.--(Specal Tele-
sram)-After a two years discussion OF
the admission of colored women to the
General Federation OF woman's Clubs. the
anti -colorists won today, when the sixth
convention voted overwhelmingly to accept
what is known the compromise amend
ment agreed upon in New York several
weeks ago. This is considered a victory
by the southern delegates.
i The adjustment of the color question has
taken precedence over everything else to-
day and while the delegations OF the mid
die west were supposed to have been united
in their support of the substitute COM
promise plan favorable to the Massachu-
setts faction. expressions after the decision
indicated that the majority OF the women
had sanctioned II in support OF the posit on
their officers had taken, rather than from
any personal sympathy with It and the
majority are jubilant tonight over the out
come.
The Louisiana Purchase memorial is the
next thing OF interest, owing TO the propo-
sition that It includes for permanent Gen.
eral Federation headquarters some place
in the purchase district. And It is expected
that this section will strongly oppose the
permission OF the new charter, which would
establish General Federation headquarters
at Washington. D. c.
Nebraska will still stand for the plan
agreed upon at Wayne, pledging her share
to the amount necessary to erect a Jeffer-
son monument.
