TEACHERS ORGANIZE
New York Pedagogues Follow Chicago
Example

Public school teachers in New York
City are discussing organization and
affiliation with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. For some years the
Chicago teachers have been organized,
and while at times it's affairs have
been in a rather tempestuous condi-
ton, great results have been accom-
plished. In New York City sentiment
for unionization has increased be-
cause of threatened reduction of sal
aries and uncertainty of positions
following the efforts of local poll
ticians to control the public schools
by securing the passage of "home
ruleP law by the state legislature. OF
course, the newspapers are opposing
the movement, but admit that the
teachers are displaying 1.-The trade
union temper" If the teachers but
remain in this frame of mind they will
shortly realize that the trade union
temper" will gain for them more free.
dom from political domination than
will ridicule by the press.

SOME GOOD ACCOMPLISHED
Commission Appointed by Wilson
Gets Results

If the strike against the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, a Rockefeller
corporation, did nothing else, it
aroused the people of that state to a
keener sense in the welfare of the
workingman. The commission ap-
pointed by President Wilson to in
vestigate conditions, headed by Seth
Low, made a report last month, and
in this report it is pointed out that
beneficial laws, such as the creation
of an industrial commission, work
mans compensation and mutual in
surance companies are steps taken in
the right direction. The Rockefeller
industrial plan, however, receives
slight consideration, the report de-
claring that the miners have not en-
deavored to test the good faith of the
employers in allowing them the privi-
lege of joining a union. The men re-
fused the commissions request to
announce that they had affiliated with
a union, declaring they were afraid
they would lose their positions by so
doing.

his record borne out when last sum-

GOVERNMENT CLERKS UNITE

approximately 5000 government
clerks at Washington, D. c., have
formed a union and taken affilation
with the American Federation OF La
Dor as a sequel to the recent unsuc-
cessful effort in congress to require
them to work eight hours day. The
Federal Employees Union is the name
of the organization, and it pledges
itself not to engage in or support any

represented In the membership. There
are approximately 10000 government
