tendency of the modern labor union
is to give employers ss little labor as
possible for the money they receive.
The Lsbor World in it's Septem Der

enemy OF labor, that be is now trying
bis best TO undo the effect of bis
opinions expressed three years ago

"From the standpoint of labor the

"He pereists in avoiding the vital

FREIGHT SERVICE
MUST BE IMPROVED

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 26.-Chair-
man c. L. Glasgow Of the state raii-
road commission says that complaints
are being filed with the commission
daily regarding the freight service on
the Pere Marquette, Detroit, Granu
Haven & Milwaukee and the Ann AT
bor railroads Specific instances are
cited showing that shippers undergo
hardships In transporting their goods
and facts are offered that In a major
ity of instances the employees OF the
transportation companies are TO Diane
for the existing conditions.
Glasgow Is undecided as 10 the
course that the commission shall pur-
sue I'm the matter. He says that ne
has called the attention OF the con.
diticns to the heads OF the companies
on several occasions and better ser.
vice has been promised. but instead
of remedying the shipping facilities,
a lot of excuses have been produced.
Chairman Glasgow thinks that the
best scheme would be to call con-
ference of the railroad officials ana
the shippers and try TO secure an
equitable adjustment OF the matter.
One OF the excuses for the poor SER
vice offered by the railroads Is that
the Anions interfere with the men and
prevent them from doing their best
work OF carrying out the instructions
OF the officials.
Conditions have reached a point
where something must be done quick

WANT SCHOOL BOARD TO
HAVE CHARGE OF TRUAAIS
Collegiate Alumnae and Chill
dren's Bureau Would End
Police Supervision

On the theory that the investiga-
ton and treatment OF truants ana.
children desiring to 90 to work are
matters for the educational authorl-
ties TO look after. rather than the pc
lice department, the Collegiate Alum
nae OF Detroit. and the Children's bu-
reau, federation OF the chlld-carint
agencies OF the city, have petitioned
the Board OF Education TO include an
appropriation for civilian truaht Off
GERS In its budget this year, instead OF
placing police officers in charge OF
truant children.
These organizations have been max
ing a study OF the methods or admin
istering truancy regulations through
out the United States, and the petit
ton Is the result. Information OBJ
tanned by the Y. NJ. G. A. from A
cities in the United States shows that
OF these cities. 80 employ truant Off
GERS appointed by the Board OF Edu.
cation. five have no truant officers and
only three, Detroit, Grand Rapids and
San Francisco, leave the care OF the
truants to police officers.
A truant officer appointed by the
board would visit the homes OF delin.
quent pupils more as a friend than a
representative of the law, and would
explain TO parents the benefits OF reg.
ular schooling and the responsibility
resting upon them with respect TO the
children. Such an officer serves as a
link between the home and the school
and incnrs a spirit OF sympathy and
mutual helpfulness. Under the exist
ing system. a spirit OF antagonism Is
often aroused.
Another objection urged to the
present system is that boys and girls,
should not come into contact with the
police so early In life. The small boy,
who is sought by a policeman be-
comes a hero in the eyes OF his play
mates. and 10 get ahead of the po-
liceman is considered a great feat.
The action taken by the Collegiate
Alumnae and the Children's bureau is
In no way a reflection on the Detroit
police department The objection Is
to the system itself which Is consiH
cred inherently wrong.
The Board of Education has full au-
thority under the state law TO APP
point truant officers Of it's own. II Is
simply a question of securing an APP
preparation for the purpose.
