WYOMING UNIONS

Fund Is Started To Support Tai
ent Aomng Members of

CHEYENNE, Aug. 10.-In it's pro-
visions for the establishment of a
permanent committee on education
organized labor Of Wyoming. has in
augurated a movement that promises:
much good, writes The Wyoming La.
Dor journal. This committee, com
posed of five representative men FROM
the various sections Of the state have1
already recommended the establish
ment Of a permanent education fund;
to be collected by means of voluntary;
donations from local unions and indi-
viduals, to be loaned to extend edu-
cation to deserving individuals under
the supervision Of officers of the
Mine. Workers, state federation and a
member of the permanent education

nues OF higher education are closed

school curriculum are denied by ne
cessity that drives them to the work.
shop, mines, mills and bench. It is
for the purpose of aiding these to
realize certain ambitions that this
fund is created. Labor recognizes
that the progress Of the race and the
movement for humanity depends to
large extent on the enlightenment
Of the Individual.
Through the wise expenditure Of
moneys for this purpose, better,
clearer idea Of government will be
terminated and with this understand
ing will also come a clearer, more
definite, program for betterment. It
will take time to work out he entire
plan; it will be necessary, first Of all,
to collect the nucleus of the fund, for
which the plan provides; even then it
will be necessary to proceed with
caution in order to safeguard the pur-
pose for which the fund has been
created. But the very fact that such
a movement has been started gives a
deeper insight into the hopes and
ideals Of organized labor.

-" By AFT Of T.:

WASHINGTON; Aug: 1o.-The SEN
ate has passed the Smith Hughes bill,
which provides for vocational educa-
ton: and industrial training; :; and
which has been continuously urged by
the American Federation of Labor.
This legislation, known in the house
as the Hughes bill, has been approved
by the committee on education and is
now on the house calendar. 81: IS
Under this bill the: federal sgbvern-
ment will pay an amount *edual= to
that expended by states for education
designed to prepare boys sand girls
over il. years TOT age for useful and
profitable employment in agriculture,
in the trades and industries and in
home economies. and to extend
knowledge Of nature workers.. Only
schools controlled by the public are
eligible to federal assistance. =:
Three classes: Of schools are con-
templated: 80:
First--To aid schools in which prac-
tically half the time is given to voca-
tional instruction.. .*.
Second-Part-time schools for
young workers over Il. years Of age,
with a view Of extending their voca-
tional knowledge.
Third-Evening schools to extend
the vocational knowledge for workers
over Is years Of age.
Provision is made for the training
Of teachers of agricultural; trade, in
| dustrial and home economic subjects.
A federal board for vocational edu-'
cation is created which will work with
state boards designated or created for
this purpose
To secure federal aid the states,
through their legislative, authorities,
must formally accept the conditions
of this act.
| The bill was prepared largely
through the work of commission on
national aid to vocational education,
created by act Of congress and ap-
proved by President Wilson, Jan. 20,
1914. On this commission the presi-
! dent appointed, as representatives of
organized labor, Miss Agnes Nestor,
president of the International Glove
Workers union, and Charles H. Wins
low, Sawsmith's union.
! While little publicity has been given

need for real efficiency, it involves
the expenditure of large sums. In the
matter of salaries for teachers super,
visors and directors of agricultural,
trade and industrtaf subjects alone.
$28, 100000 will be expended between
the years 1916 and 1925. These ap-
preparations start with 100000 for
! the year 1916 and increase annually

FIRE PREVENTION :.
COMMITTEE. CO URGED .
..
Wonderful Results From Such
!: Organizations Reported By
?. State Fire Marshal.

Fire prevention committees should
be organized in every city, town and
village. in Minnesota.
An instance Of what committee
can do in this respect is shown in a
report just prepared by r. w. Har-
gadine, state fire marshal.
In November, 1915, Mr.. Hargadine
had a general inspection made Of
L.akefield, jackson county, and found
conditions somewhat hazardous. Fol-
lowing the inspection Mr.. Hargadine
was a guest at a meeting of the Com
mercial club of that city. At the close
of this meeting q fire prevention COM
mittee was formed by members of the
club with the fire chief as chairman.
1t was the duty of each member to
investigate and report all premises
which might be fire menaces and or
| ders were issued following each re-
port to the owner to clean up"
What was the result? The fire mar
shars department checking up from
November, 1915, to August, 1915,
found that there had not been one
fire reported in Lakefield.
In checking back over the cor
responding period in 1915 the fire
| marshars record showed three serious
| fires resulting in an aggregate loss of
$3,297. In one fire the loss was
| was $2,904.
| The public spirit of fire prevention
was. manifested by the business men
/ Of Iakefield from the conditions as
! found by a deputy in July this year;
that they had all complied with orders
and suggestions last year, and found
conditions excellent, which speaks we'll

RURAL CREDITS BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
PLAN BEING WORKED OUT TO
SECURE CREDIT FOR FARM
ERS IN TIME OF NEED.
Provides for System Of Twelve or
More Land Banks and Farm Loan
Associations Under Supervision
Of Non-Partisan Board.

Washington.-The Hollis farm loan
bill, embodying the administration
plan for establishing a system Of rur-
al credits, passed the senate Thursday
night by a vote of So to 5.
The senate bill provides for non.
partisan farm loan board to consist Of
the secretary of the treasury and
four others, having general control of
a farm loan system of twelve or
more land banks, and of farm loan
associations through which loans ac'
tually would be made.
Each land bank would have a cap
ital stock of at least $500, 900, to be
subscribed by the government IL not
taken by the public. The farm loar.
made up OF ten or more farmers who
would obtain charter from their dis
trict land bank.
A farmer desiring to become Dor
rover would be required to take stock
in the loan association equal to per
cent OF his loan; the association in
turn would take an equal amount OF
stock II the land bank, which would
appraise the security offered and
make the loan through the association.
On mortgages amounting to $4,000, a
bank might issue like amount of
farm loan bonds. which would be Sc
cured by all twelve land banks.
All profits would go to the loan as
ISOLATION in dividends. and thus to the
borrowers who are shareholders in
them. Loans might be on as long
terms as thirty-six years on the amor.
tization plan, so that with each in
terest payment the farmer could pay
a small amount of his principal. Loans
would be limited to first mortgages
and could not exceed 80 per cent OF
the appraised value of the land.
