BY CYRIL BRIGGS

Eight strikes at Negro colleges in
recent years are evidence of the re-
volt of Negro youth against the eff
forts of white college presidents to
turn out future "Uncle Toms" to
succeed the crop now fortunately
dying out.
That benevolent despotism" of
white college heads or trustee boards
is teaching "pacifism and servility"
is shown by John P. Davis in an
article in the January "New Stu
dent" Davis is graduate student
at Harvard and former Bates Col
lege debater. Every moment Of the
students time is scheduled, his
clothing prescribed, even down to
his underwear. He is compelled to
attend chapel and is put to bed
every night at ten o'clock. Espe-
cially is his reading censored. In
many colleges and schools in the
south even the magazine of the wob-
bling and fearful Du Bots is barred.
Latest books on the race question
are absolutely taboo.
Strikes at Howard University and
Fisk resulted in resignation Of Pres
idents Durkee and Mckenzie, both
of them white arbiters of what Ne
groes should be taught. Davis notes
other strikes as follows: Hampton
Kittrell, Knoxville, st. Augustine
and two additional outbreaks at
Howard University. Minor revolts
have heen staged at nearly every
Dixie college.
At Hampton white faculty mem.
bers were accused Of membership II
the Klu Klux Khan. They ate al
tables separate from the Negrc
teachers. At Fisk, Howard and
Hampton the faculty also tried te
intimilate the students.
Students mail is opened by the
faculties of most of these colleges
especially is mail from the north
scrutinized. Students mail goes
through two classes Of censorship

mail Of Negroes is carefully watched

Make One Trust Out of
New York Central and
It's Leased Railroads


WASHINGTON (By Mail) The
Interstate Commerce Commission
has granted the New York Central
Railroad permission to effect an op-
Grafton merger of itself and roads
under lease by it, including the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis (the "Big Four" line), the
Michigan Central, the Cincinnati
Northern, the Peoria and Eastern
and the Kankakee and Central.
The I. G. C. has been very friendly
to mergers lately, and has introduced
a bill into congress which has the
backing of both Coolidge and
Hoover, to make justification of the
railroad industry easier.

'In thousands of villages" he
said, zone Of our serious problems

still credited with more diseases
than the bacillus, and cures are
still expected from the local witch

Nevertheless, DR.. Semashko is
convinced that great progress has
been achieved. There are more
hospitals, more dispensaries, more
sanitoria, more of everything that
conduces to health, he pointed out
and it is only a question of time
before Russia will be brought to 8
par with other European countries
in the matter of health.
The general level Of health, he
declared, is undoubtedly higher thar
before the war. He credited this
to two chief factors. First, the
peasant now has land and therefore
eats more and better food. Second
the general cultural efforts both il
city and country have led to great
err cleanliness.

COTTAGE CITY AGAIN
APPROVES FIRE TAX
Township in Special Election Re-
affirms Stand on Measure Spon-
sored by Volunteer Firemen.
sneclal pispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COTTAGE CITY, Md, April 23.-At
the special election held last night the
residents of this town again approved
the fire tax of IL cents on each 500
of assessed valuation of property by a
vote of 1873 to 80. This measure, which
was urged by the local volunteer fire
company, was approved by vote Of 81
to So at special election held on
March 30. but this election was later
declared null and void because it had
been advertised before the governor had
signed the BILL There were two reg
istration dates between the two cleo
tions and the interest displayed in the
fire tax was largely responsible for the
registration of 1879 additional voters.
A decided effort was made by OPP
ponents of the bill to defeat it despite
the fact that the flremen have pointed
out that such action would undOubt-
ably force the company out of business.
Following the announcement Of the re-
suits the f1remen staged parade
through the town.
1t is estimated that the tax will pro-
vide approximately 5000 year, which
is considerably more than has been OBJ
tanned heretofore by annual drives. The
company will continue to make annual
drives through Colmar Manor and other
territories which 1t protects.
