MONEY FOR SCHOOLS JUSTIFIED

Milwaukee, The heavy expenditures
for the support of schools and other
educational institutions is justified, said
Acting President Coffman of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, in speech in this
city.
"MIany business men think that the
young people should be trained to do
one certain work all their lives. But
this is not the proper thing at all. We
should continue to expand our curricu-
lum until it Eliminates every walk of
life. We can never return to the old
system" he said "Wc must continue
to train our teachers along broader lines,
so that they will be able to reach every
type of mind. We must train our chill
dren and bring them to be cosmopolitan
in their attitudes"

LABOR Is NOT A COMMODITY

Albany. y. Y.-Senator Wagner has
introduced bill in the State legislature
similar to the Clayton act, which de
clarcs that the labor of human being
is not commodity or article of com
mcrce." In a public statement Senator
Wagner said that under the anti
laws of this State efforts have
been made to pcnalizc wage earncrs for
combining to improve wages and shop
conditions by interpreting labor to be
commodity and the law proposed by him
IS necessary to correct fundamental
injustice.
Commodities" he declared, are the
objective products OF labor, while labor
is the subjective effort of human be
ing. The federal government has ac-
ceptcd this principle in the Clayton law,
and my bill will extend its application to
this State i'll intrastatc matters"

time it was agreed that the union would
call off all pickcting and employers
would establish the cight-hour day ON

neither side was to make public state
mcnt. The union maintained its secrecy
pledge, but the manufacturers immc-
diatcly began an advertising campaign
for pattern makers and stated that the
strike was called off. These employers,
however, were glad to "lct loose" and
the shorter work day is inauguratcd in
practically every shop. Wages have also
increased from 10 To IL cents an hour,

Third Major Talk
Bosh, Says D:ckerson

Association.
Instead of new league, there Is
more likely to be a currailing Of
leagues"
According to Mr.. Dickerson the stor-
les concerning the re-districting Of the
territory and that the American Asso-
citation is alleged to be planning a
raid of the Western League cities are
fairy stories.
