$5OO,OO0 More From General Edu-
cation Board for Endowment
From N. Y. Timesl

New York-The Rosenwald Fund

versity, liberal arts college for
Negroes in Nashville, Tenn, secnri-
ties with a current valuation of
about 100000, it was announced
by Paul D. Cravath, chairman of
the board of trustees of the uni
versity.
This donation puts Fisk in a
position to receive an additional
$500, 900 in cash or securities from
the General Education Board,
which had offered conditionally to
match dollar for dollar, up to a To-
tai of $1,5OO,OOO, all contributions
made from other sources for Fisk's
endowment, Mr.. Cravath said.
These contributions now total
$3.50, 900, including the Rosenwald
grant. The citizens of Nashville
had given $15O,OOO in cash and
pledges. The university raised,
fifteen years ago, the first $1,000
600 endowment fund ever set up
for a liberal arts college for Ne
groes in Southern State with the
aid of a similar 100000 offer from
the General Education Board.
Fisk University was founded in
1866 by General Clinton B. Fisk
in an abandoned army barracks on
the outskirts of Nashville, and has
since become one of the best-nown
institutions of its kind. The Fisk
University Jubilee Singers enjoy
an international reputation.

of Arbitration

A bill to establish court Of labor

labor strikes and lockouts was intro
duced today by Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Washington.
1T seems to me that the only way to
prevent lockouts and strikes in indus
try is to create a court to which dis
putes can be submitted for arbitration
and decision" Smith said. 1T is GER
tainly a serious reflection on our in
telligence and capacity for self-govern-
ment that labor has to lay down its
tools and walk off the job to gain its
point"
The measure makes different ap-
proach than has previously been made
for legislation dealing with labor dis
putes. In defining the jurisdiction OF
the court that would be created. the
bill also defines the term interstate
commerce." and states specifically that
mo provision of this act shall be SUBJ
