QUESTION OF COLOR
FEDERATION OF woMAN,s CLUB
 IN oUANDARY. 2 slig
Attorney General Knox VIII Ne Asked If the Body Has the Right to Exclude Negresses
 from Membership.

Chicago. March 29.-The Attorney-Gen- eral of the United States will be called upon to determine whether club women can make discriminations on race. color or previous condition of servitude. A committee representing the most infiuen- tisl Chicago clubs was appointed today to ask Attorney General Knox about the constitutionality of what the General Federation proposes to do at Los An geles.
 Within the last year the Congress of the United States has granted the General Federation of Clubs special corporation papers. There are specific provisions against political and religious discrimina- ton.
 The question now arises whether the tionsl provisions in regard to the race. color and previous condition of servi- tude Mrs R. A. Cole of Milwaukee Is the woman who proposed the letter to Attor- ney General Knox. She Is of the opinion that his answer will throw the whole col or question out of consideration at the Los Angeles meeting. The Federation proposes to recognize race and color, she says. and in doing so must remembre that it will have to consult Congress, which granted the charter in the present form. That would at once raise the question. she believes whether Congress would have the right under the constitution to authorize a National Federation which should rec oRnize race and color.
