PROGRESS m NEGRO EDUCATION

IA general increase in the interest in
Negro education in the southern states
- shown in the encouraging growth in
the number of new, modern, and we'll
equipped school buildings now appear
ing in southern cities; in the remark
able number Of new, sanitary, and
well appointed schoolhouses in the coun-
try districts that have been bulls IN re-
cent years, especially in Louisiana; in
the growing interest in better-trained
teachers, as is evidenced by the sur
prisingly large number OF summer
schools and teachers institutes con-
Quoted for colored teachers this year;
in the tendency here and there to in
erase teachers salaris and to lengthen
school terms: and in the evident inten-
ton, especially illustrated in North Car
Dina, to provide high schools for Negro
youth at public expense, and as has
been shown in the exceptional growth
Of county training schools for Negro
youth in the rural districts. These i'm
provements have come, not only through
public initiative, but also through the
hearty cooperation and financial as
sistance of the colored patrons in all
sections@of the south. It. is desirable
that such helpful efforts be continued

Of all colored children at public expense

MTEROHURCH WORLD MOVE

The Interchurch World Movement
has inaugurated an ambitious program,
which If carried ont in the spirit Of
real Christianity, should do much for
lettering world conditions and bring

In seeking the active cooperation Of
the colored people, the way i opened
to bring about the social implication Of
the gospel. Many Of the conditions Of
which the colored people complain, -
well as the solution Of those problems
which affect vast element Of the pop

Gratitude does not seem to be inner

ed by the house on Nov. II after day
Of debate, substitutes provision in
the bill which would have made the
property Of unions liable for damages
caused common carriers by strikes.
The Anderson amendment specifically
names the four railway brotherhoods
and the international and national
unions for representation on the adj
justment boards, thus leaving the more
than loo, 1000 colored employees Of the
railroads without voice. Representa-
tives Of the colored employees claim that
this is an unfair discrimination against
them and point to the fact that the
unions have been hostile to them at all
times. They claim they may lose their
pobs under the amendment.
Their protest is made in q circular let
ter, as follows:
\ In the interest Of square deal to
colored American citizens employed in
railway service, I petition you to elimi-
nate the Anderson amendment to the
railway bill (H. R. 1O453) and to incor-
porate the original language and provi-
sions of the bill.
g Not to make this change will grant
an unfair and unconstitutional monopo-
" to the four big brotherhoods and the
fourteen international and national
unions of the American Federation Of
Labor, as none Of these unions receive
or accept in full membership natural
American citizens if of Negro race.
ssThe contracts and agreements of
=.
railway service to white men only, and
if extensively executed will mean the
complete Elimination Of Negroes from
railway service.
ssThe adjustment boards as created
by the Anderson amendment are not alb
solutely representative Of the employ
ees. We petition for the above named
substitution in order that they might
be really and justly representatives.
As porters, trackwalkers, cooks, wait
ers, ETC., thousands Of colored men are
employed on the railroads. Then there
are q few thousands em~! oyed as brake
men and firemen in the esouth.
IA big strike Of union railroad EN-
ployes in Georgia in 1906 caused many
whites to get places formerly held by
Negroes. Those that remained were
paid less wage than the white union
employees. During the war q large num-
Der of colored men came from the south
to take the places vacated by foreign
ers and other whites. The outcome Of
the protests is being watched as CON
