l,2O0 ENROLLED AT TUSkEGEE INSTITUTE
Many Foreign Countries Are Rep-
 resented

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. Sept. 1.-The forty-first session of the Tuskeegee Normal and Industrial Institute opened here Thursday morning with more than 1900 stud ents enrolled and many others pres ent awaiting the opportunity to reg ister. Every section of the country is represented among those present as well as Africa, Central America, South America, Cuba ana the British West Indies.
 The opening day enrolment of this year compares favorably with that of any other year and surpassed all expectations due to the migration of the negro to the north and economic conditions existing among negro farmers of this section.
 While there are more than 1,200 enrolled. the majority of these are new students and the old ones are just beginning to return, many of them having worked at their trades In the large industrial centers of the north and middle west during the summer. When all return the en- rollment will probably exceed that of any previous year.
 In addressing the students Thurs day evening at the chapel services. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal. said; ,"It is very gratifying to see so many here on the opening day and 1 hope on your part to begin your work in the academic and industrial depart ments. Many of you, especially the new students. have no doubt heard that Tuskegee stands for work, and so it does but 1t stands for more than that. It stands for manhood and womanhood and seeks to produce well-rounded men and women by carrying out the philosophy of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder of the institute"

 THE AGE-BERAJD Montgomery. Ala, Sept. 14

Harnessing Alabama's vast water power supply to make 1t equally as profitable as the oil fields of Texas, from a revenue standpoint, is the end in view of resolution of Sena- tor Randall, Bfbb. adopted by the house and concurred by the senate Friday. Senator Randall said there is approximately 3,000,000 horse power in Alabama streams and tributaries, which has been going to waste for hundreds of years past and will continue to do so until the people of Alabama awaken to the fact they are "sleeping'' during a wonderful opportunity.
 The senate resolution provides that the Alabama public service commits sion shall follow up recent reso- lution adopted by the house and con- cured in by the senate, memorabilia irg g Congress to make various sur veys of Alabama's streams and tribu- taries and to compile a comprehen- sive survey of possibilities of water power development in the state.
 The resolution in full follows:
 Be it resolved, by the senate of Alabama, the house concurring, that
 Whereas, a resolution has been passed memorializing Congress to make certain surveys or navigabIe streams and their tributaries in the state of Alabama, etc. and.
 Whereas, it is important that this state should avail itselr of all the advantages to be derived from such survey and report.
 Therefore, be it resolved. that the Alabama public service commission is directed to follow up said resolu- tion and endeavor to secure favor able action thereon by Congress, or by such other governmental agency as may be authorized or empowered to make such survey and report.
 Be it further resolved. that the Alabama public service commission Is hereby authorized and directed to cooperate with such federal authori : ties, to receive and compile the re- ports and make to the governor such recommendations as it may deem proper.
 Be it further resolved. that no expense in connection with this reso- lCtion be incurred to carry out the provisions of this resolution, and that such necessary expenses be paid out of appropriations heretofore made for the Alabama public service commission, upon the approval of the governor.

FOSTER IS BEATEN
Illinois Federation Votes Down His
 AmaIgamation Proposed

DECATUR, Ill.,, Sept. 14.-William z. Foster, liberal extremist, was decisively beaten when the Illinois federation of labor voted down his plan for political amalgamation of union labor 316 to S5 here Friday. It was the most overwhelming defeat given Foster since he broke with other federation liberals over conn nmnism several months ago.
 Fosters defeat followed repudia- ton of the amalgamation plan by John Fitzpatrick, president the Chi cago federation of labor, and Ed ward Nockels, who helped work out the scheme originally. The federa- tion went on record as opposed to anything in conflict with the prin- cirples of Samuel Gompers and the national federation.
 Fitzpatrick and the Chicago labor men have now evened things with Foster for his victory in scuttlins them at the national farmerlabor convention in July. Ultra-liberals of the ster-Ruthenberg faction are stunned" by the action of the state delegates.
