Former Attorney General Points
Out Dangers" In Labor's
Magma -Charta. ..~:,

WASHINGTON, July Twill the
labor provisions of the Clayton act
gives workers tho relief its advocates
claim? g.:
A majority Of congress has regis
tered an emphatic yes" the Ameri-
can trade union movement and sym
pathizers say "yes.''
Anti-trade union elements natural
*ly, disagree.
And now come George W. Wicker
sham, United States attorney general
under President Taft's administration,
with an affirmative answer to this
question. AS lawyer he supports
the position of friends Of the act in
an article that will prove a valuable
contribution to the discussion, and
which is published in the July issued
Of the American Federationist, which
also contains the consent Of the pub
fishers of Mr.. Wiskersham's opinion,
and also Mr.. Wickersham himself, to
republish it.
AS an Introduction to Mr.. Wicker
sham's article, President Gompers
says:
This article is published from the
Alumni Register Of the University of
Pennsylvania with the permission of
it's author, and of the Alumni Regis
ter. The opinion of former Attorney
General Wickersham as to the appli-
cation and significance of labor pro-
visions of the Clayton act is of spe-
cial interest to the members Of or
ganized labor. Mr.: Wickersham con-
firms the claims advanced by the ad-
:vocates OF the legislation, even though
he does. not indorse the principles.
Mr.. Wickersham's harsh and unjusti
fable attacks in the article upon labor
leaders and labor organizations dis
closes the fact that he cannot be. ac-
cuseds Of over-friendliness to organ :,
lied labor Hence, his article is ali
the more valuable and convincing OF
the value and Importance Of the labor
provisions Of the Clayton law

give. It the widest publicity possible,
President Gompers makes this state
ment: s-----. = = =

THRU | /. EDUCATION ||. {
" Education q Precious Jewell.
Says PresidentSof Cigar
makers Union.

CHICAGO, July 2.-The uneducat-
ed worker is prey for scheming poll
ticians and fdemagogues. declares
President Perkins Of the Cigarmakers'
International union, in a. plea for ed
ucation - :. = - @t'
The un!onist presents these rea-
sens why working men and women
should become enlightened:
a. = The working. classes have deep
interest in education; they have. an
intense interest in the intellectual de-
volopment of the masses.
Education Is a precious jewel; it's
luster. -penetrates the. phenomena of
the. universe; > it unravels the secrets
OF the movements of the planets; of
the ebb and flow of. the tides on the
oceans; of the formation, of coal, oil,
gas, stone and metals in the geologic
al survey: The wonderful discoveries
in: the, arts, electric. and chemical
sciences are due TO- education. j.
Primary education while abso-
lutely necessary as a. stepping, stone
to a higher system, lis not sufficient
1t does not go far enough. It handi-
caps the children of the average
working man and woman in the
struggle for better economic and So
cial conditions; it handicaps the poor
boy and girl in exposing the shams
and falsehoods in which they are
engulfed.
1.-THE uneducated man is marooned
in the morasses of ignorance, preju-
dice and superstition. His vision is
clouded in an atmosphere surcharged
with greed, rapacity and exploitation
Of the weak and helpless.
The man without education is apt
to have a. narrow vision, he cannot
survey the field of operations by
which comparatively few families
have become multi-millionaires; he
cannot grasp the Vaccinations and
manipulations by which the common
people are deprived of the major por-
ton Of the fruits of their toll.
Tho uneducated man is lacking the
inclination to delve into and examine
the laws enacted in favor of the
wealthy classes, which are lauded as
beneficial to the workers."

SUPREME COURT RAPS
GRANDFATHER" CLAUSE

WASHINGTON, July I'm a unan-
imous opinion Of the United States SUI
preme court held invalid Oklahoma
and Maryland legislation restricting
the colored vote. The court declares
in effect, that 1t is a violation of the
fifteenth amendment to the federal
constitution for a state to select ar
bitrarily a date, such as 1866, and
provide that persons not qualified to
vote on that date, or whose ancestors
were not so qualified, are barred from
voting or must submit to voting tests
not required of others.
This Is the so-called "Grandfather
Clause inserted in the election laws
OF some other southern states. The
courts ruling will probably have an
effect on these enactments, and is one
Of the most important race decisions
in the history Of the supreme court.

RAILROAD MENW|N
DECISIVE PO||VT
Pennsylvania Governor Vetoes
Full Crew Repeal
Bill.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July Glow.
.Brumbaugh has vetoed the bill passed
by the last legislature repeating tho
full crew bill.
The veto means a complete victory
for the railroad brotherhoods. who
were assisted in their fight to retain
the law by the trade union movement.
In his veto message. the state ex-
ecutive said:
1T is claimed. that this additional
man on the crew is a menace to the
proper performance Of duty by the
other members Of the crew. II SO,
and it is a. challenged assertion, the
corporation knows well how to &C.
cure and enforce discipline among ite
employees, as do all other companies
and corporations employins*smen tor
definite services
This additional man is the erner-
gency man on the train. He is not
always busy. The same fact is true
Of other members of the crew. But
he is needed when the unusual oc-
ours and his presence may save life
or property or both. In fact, the
records show this to be the case.
within one year the railroad COM
panies secured an increased freight
rate by action OF the interstate CON-
merce commission. A potential argu-
ment OF the companies for this in
crease was the fact that the full crew
law added to the expense Of operat-
ing their service. They had scarcely
secured the increase rate until steps
| were taken to repeal the law requir-
ing a full crew. This situation has
| definite bearing upon the action now
taken"

Meet Needs.

"A committee OF officials OF labor
organizations, representing q member
ship Of approximately 100000 work.
ing men and women, called at the
office Of Mayor Mitchell, New York,
and laid before him a plan for re-
arranging the method Of industrial
education in the bub1tc schools Of
New York City. pointing out that a.
curriculum based upon general theory
rather than a careful survey Of local
industrial conditions is a menace to
wage earners and an injustice to stu
dents. -.
The mayor expressed his approval
OF the committees suggestion, that a
conference be held at which members
of the Board Of Education the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment and
New York Labor organizations partic-
1pate, for the purpose of arranging
a system Of teaching which will meet
the requirements of local industries.
Among those on the committee
which called at the. City Hall were:

OF the United Hebrew trades; Miss
