Organized Labor, At Pan
American Conference,
States Its True Position

Laredo, Tex, Nov. 16.--The pan
American labor conference after a day
of heated debate yesterday, during
which the American Federation of
Labor denounced the Industrial Work
ers of the World as enemies of gov
ernments everywhere, expected to end
it's discussion today with the organAa-
ton of a permanent federation repre-
sentiag the labor movements in all
the countries of the western hemi-
sphere.
Officers of the American federation
were graatly pleased over confer
ence, declaring that even should the
projected pan-American federation
of labor not be effected Immediately,
the conference had been more than
given of presenting to the delegates
il the other republics the true posi-
tion of organized labor in the United
States toward the Industrial Workers
Of the World
Although the American federat ati~~
of Labor has known of the activities
of the industrial workers of the world
propaganda in Mexico, it was amazed
in the debate yesterday to learn the
extent to which the ropagandists
had gone in spreading their doctrine.

Hugh A. McMullen. Maryland Stnte
Comptroller, Adds to Duties by
Serving Without Compensation
In DilutiOn Work

Hugh A. McMullen, state comptrol-
Ter of Maryland, is one of the latest
additions to the ranks of men who
are serving the nation without COM
pensation. He has just taken up the
dilution work of the Training and d.
luton Service, Department of Labor,
under Director Charles T. Clayton,
in order that he may back up as eff
fectively' as possible his two sons who
are serving in France.
His only question, when he was
asked to undertake the work. was in
regard to its real importance. When
he discovered its vital necessity, he
consented at once to undertake the
work, In addition to his duties In
Maryland.
Mr.. McMullen, the son Of poor Irish
immigrants, was born in small
shack on the edge of coal dump. and
went to work as miner while he
was only a child. AS soon as he had
accumulated a little money he opened
store in the small mining town, and
when he had won success there, start
ed his career as a city merchant
Eventually he became interested in
banking, manufacturing and railroad
ing, and finally entered politics,
He has just taken up the dilution
work, and one of his first steps will
be an investigation to determine just
! what necessity for dilution may exist

Importance of the work and the neces-
sity that the schools shall undertake
it. When the problem has been
grasped, they leave nothing undone to
solve It.
One educational official recently
wrote to Raymond r. Crist, deputy
commissioner of naturalization, to the
effect that 1t would be impossible to
establish citizenship classes In his city
because money and teachers could not
possibly be obtained. AS soon as he
had grasped the idea, however, that
the public schools have a rea! obliga-
ton to the alien and can develop his
capacities just as they develop the Ca
pacities of native born children, he be
came enthusiastic over the project and
found in short order that he could
get not only the teachers but all the
equipment he needed.
Many teachers have never had ex-
perience In teaching adults and com
paratively few are familiar with for
eign tongues, but the eagerness OF
the foreigner to learn solves many
problems in itself. More schools than
ever are this year conducting citizen
ship classes, and the number OF for
eigners taught will be much larger
than ever before.
