STEPS FOR ADVANCEMENT OF
NEGRO EDUCATION.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. /. tSpecial.)
Evidence of the progress of Ne
groes in Mississippi, especially along
educational lines, is found in the fact
that Mound Bayou, a Negro settle
ment, owned and controlled entirely
by eNgroes, has just voted the issu-
anee of 100000 in bonds for the
erection of a school. 1t will be for
teacher training and vocational
training purposes. 1t will be the
largest institution of its kind in the
South.
According to Bura Hilbun, State
supervisor of Negro schools, upward
of 100000 will,be spent, for Negro
schools before the close of the pres
ent year. The State Board of Edu-
cation is lending every possible aid
to this development, and employs a
Negro supervisor of schools, as well
as Mr.. Hilbun,

STAND ON LEAGUE

todag with disguised satisfaction
by those hghting adoption Of thu

Kenyon's statement. declaring for
amendment Of the draft before it is
submitted to the Senate for rJtihca-
tion. was made after nc had spent
nearly a week in his home state, talk
ling to his constituents. Further than
that, Kenyon declined to sign the
"Tound robin OF the opposition Sena-
tors. HEer announced before leaving
Washington that he had not made up
,his mind on the proposal, and would
do so only after he had gone direct to
his people and got their views.
Sentiment Against Pact.
The fact that he now takes the
same stand as the "Senate 81 who
signed the round robin, indicates.
league opponents said, that the send-
ment in Iowa at least is against the
league in its present form.
People have a right to demand"
said Kenyon, "that ambiguous clauses
De made plain in such a document
which affects the whole world"
This was taken here to mean thas
Kenyon's people are demanding that
the league pact's language be cleared
up.
His insistence that the voting power
of the United States be increased
means, league opponents here said to-
day, that the people to whom Kenyon
has talked regard England's plurality
of votes over the United States az a
dangerous provision, and one whicn
they will not approve.
Opponents Pleased
Kenyon's statement was sized up by
anti-covenant Senators here as un-
qualified opposition to the league in
its present form, but unwillingness to
embarrass President Wilson by too
extreme opposition
Both proponents and opponents Of
the league will invade the middle

R. R. CLERKS WILL
CONTINUE STRIKE

ATLANTA, Ga, March 15.-Striking
members Of the Brotherhood OF Rail-
road Clerks were standing pat" here
early today.
They insisted that A. p. Ottarson,
Federal auditor of the Nashville, Chat
tanOoga and St. Louis and associated
roads must be removed before they re-
sumo work.
The ranks of the strikers were aug
mented by 100 men from the Seaboard
Air Line and others who walked out
over night, making the total number
Of clerks out in Atlanta approximate
ly 1000 men. according to both rail,
road and railroad officials.
Regional Director Winchell's state
ment declaring that the strike ZAP
preached a revolt against the Gov
ernment," apparently had little effect
on the strikers.
The Atlanta joint terminals were
completely tied up. F. q. McCool,
freight agent, stated that no attempt
whatever was being made to receive
or deliver freight of any kind from:
the terminals.
Harry p. Garrison, assistant sta
tionmaster at the terminal station,
std that passengers only were being
seriously hampered, and that great
confusion had resulted. He stated
that baggage was being checked
without friction, and that no pass-n-
ger trains had been delayed by the
strike, however.
A strike of all railroad brother
hoods in sympathy with the clerks
appeared possible today, following
further conferences between repre-
sentatives of the brotherhOOds last
night, E. NJ. McGhee. local chairman
of the clerks union. stated early to-
day.
