Kentucky Negroes SO long have
remained passive, Lewis asserted
further. "The colored people and
white people have been getting
along fine in Kentucky, and we
don't like the idea of stirring things
up"
Atty.-Gen. Meredith, said to

torial nomination, as yet has voiced

STATES OPINION
The attorney generals office,

that, "Under the constitution equal
educational opportunities must be
given Negroes. and if the present
fund for that purpose is insuffi-

From metropolitan centers Of
the state there is an overwhelm-

legislation for Negro student. One
representative from northern Ken

Negro student in the state. An
other went even farther in sug'

Austin Denies
He'll Head A
Baptist Split
Cites Abuses
In Election
u Dyri9s y Session
~
By HERMAN CLAYTON

CLEVELAND-(A N p - Con-
trary to rumors afloat, the DR.. j.
G. Austin, Chicago unsuccessful
candidate for president of the Nat
ional Baptist Convention, does not
plan any effort to start a new body
of Baptists nor to institute court
action in contestation of the elec-
ton, in which, according to Rev.
Austin, only a mysterious hand
full of the more than $4,000 mes
sengers who had streamed from all
parts of the country for the express
purpose of voting, were so permit
ted.
Instead Rev. Austin says he plans
to form into permanent organiza-
ton the 1000 ministers who in Mt
Zion Baptist Church while in Cleve-
land voluntarily pledged themselves
to fight within the convention the
fragrant abuses wh9ch have iC4
too long a time shamed the Bap-
tiSt convention"
These abuses, Dr. Austin said, ex-
pressed themselves in the refusal
Of what he terms the macnine-run
convention to register opposition
delegates and in what DR.. Austin
says is the fraudulent practice of is
suing non-negotiable checks to
cover the expenses of non-eligible
machine delegates, in the gross dis
regard of constitutional provision,
and in the ''rln-christian and un-
democratic gagging of opposition
sentiment"
Proof of some of these abuses
Rev. Austin furnishes in the fol-
lowing cases:
The machine, having fraudulent
ly registered most of the huge Ala
bama delegation, upon being chal-
lenged, feverishly sought to cut the
number down 30 as to wipe OUT the
disparity between the number of
delegates and the amount OF money
collected. In order to nullify the
rising avalanche of opposition votes,
constitutional clause granting to
| churches additional delegates at
the machine totally disregarded the
SIS per delegate and arbitrarily limit
ed the church delegation to 10.
When opposition speakers sought
to correct irregularities they were
howled and heckled down.
However, these are not matters
to drag into court" the militant
Chicago pastor said" I shall con-
tinue the fight started in st. Louis
IN 1922 for a clean, orderly, demo-
| cratic, progressive and Christian
convention. Though the one past
was a far cry from that ideal, am
not dismayed, or discouraged.

The history of Negro education
in this state since 1904 is a record
of biased and constructed attempts
to limit training only to manual
and menial efforts, and couch it in
industrial terms. Under the latter
heading, slow progress was at
tanned by the plodding educators
who laid the foundation for later
development, which even then fell
short of adequate preparation.
FIVE GIVE AID
During the past fifty years only
five outstanding Kentucky states
men have openly advocated and
supported movements for the de-
velopments of higher training for
Negroes within the state. They
were former governors w. o.
Bradley and Edwin P. Morrow,
former United States Senators Oh
lie James, o. Owsley Stanley, and
Richard P. Ernst.
In the present crises, DR.. H.
l.. Donovan, president Of the Uni
versity of Kentucky, has attempt"
ed to uphold the state and pass the
buck by suggesting to Eubank that
he apply to the state board OF
education for financial assistances,
this aid to come from funds ap-
propriated by the commonwealth
for education of Negroes in other
states when they cannot obtain
their training in kentucky schools.
At the time, DR.. Donovan was
fully aware that this fund of
$4,000 had been exhausted. This
sum, designated annually, could be
apportioned among 500 state high
school eligibles desirous OF obtain
ing complete professional courses.
If aliocated equally, each student
would receive less than $40 to-
ward a years expense. Because
of this farcial and lamentable dis
pensation. many high school grad
yates refuse even to apply for it.
SUPPORT SUIT
Varied have been the reactions
to the suit just entered. Kentucky
Negroes en- masse stand with the
Louisville aggregation.
Official Kentucky has spoken on
ly through it's assistant attorney
general Jesse K. Lewis, who in a
bitter and blistering denunciation
stated, '"The suit was not brought
in good faith. The attorney-gen-
erals office believes it is a part of
of a organized effort to stir up
class feeling" Apparently basing
his assumption upon the fact that

Even though this incident had
a happy ending for labor, it is
nevertheless true that when
government compulsion is SUBJ
Sttutcd for free private negetia-
ton the ultimate position of the
unions tends 10 be weakened.
In the long run, the unions
thrive by achieving benefits for
their members. When govern
mental flats are substituted for
union bargaining, the prestige of
the unions tends to be impaired
The underlying fundamentals
are not changed by the fact that
officials who are temporarily in

ment happen in their private
Vows and sentiments to be pro-

Modern Record

To SuhStantiate their declara-
ton that our railroads arc pre-
pared TO cope with whatever
emergency may confront them.
railway leaders emphasize such
impressive facts as these:
In the past year The railroads
installed IN service $1,000 new
freight cars. Also, 400 loco
motives.
Under construction are 10000
freight cars and $50 locomotives.
Since June /, 1899. freight
cars in need of repair have been
cut in half-to fewer than at
any time since 1920.
Our railroads today are trans
porting more freight per train
than eNer before Average speed
is 60 per cent higher than 20
years ago and with an efficiency
in fuel never surpassed. For
each pound of fuel used in
freight service in 1910 our rail-
roads hauled 9 tons of freight
and equipment one mile, con-
trasted with 6 Is tons in 1921.
Last year the average was $50
tons of freight per train the
highest on record 30 per cent
zabnYe-Iq21. -=
Average number of freight
cars per train has increased
from 37.4 in 1921 to 4S.7 cars
in 1910. up 80 per cent.
Volume of railway freight and
passenger service is now about
Is per cent less than 10 years
ago
Yet about ,S10,00000O 600 has
been spent in the last 20 years
