MEXICAN WOMEN
PREPARING TAKE
A Hand In the Affairs OF the Repub-
lie OF MexicO-Will Eliminate So
cial And Industrial Evils.
Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 22-Mexican
women are preparing to take hand
in the affairs of the Mexican republic.
They intend first to eliminate social
and industrial evils and later to make
a fight for political equality. This IS
the program of the Mexican Feminist
Council a national organization with
headquarters in Mexico City.
The Council does not believe that
the mass of Mexican women are at
present prepared for complete suff-
rage but the Council hopes eventually
to make them vital political force.
The present Mexican government
looks with favor upon their efforts,
according to Senorita Elena Torres,
general secretary Of the Council.
Heads of the government, she said, ad-
vocate complete emancipation OF
Mexican women"
The Feminist Council has organized
groups to teach women how their con-
ditions may be improved industrlally
and socially. The next step, said
Senorita Torres, will be organization
of women workers in industry to de-
mand fair and equal treatment at the
hands of their employers. They will
not countenance any bitter sex wal
which has characterized the feminist
movement in some European coun-
tries, but expect cooperation from the
! men. The Council intends to bring
the Mexican women's movement II
contact with similar organizations II
other countries and to work with the
women of the world for peace, dis.
armament and anti-imperalism.
Senorita Torres predicts that Mex
ican women will create new era OF
amicable relations and more com
plete understanding between Mexico
and the United States. Later, she
said, the Feminist Council intends tt
propose tn eformation of a Latin Am
erican union to bring about closer
| friendship, culturally, industrially ant
politically between Mexico and the
| countries of South and Central Am
| erica.

EDUCATION OF
UNIONLABOR MEN
Is One Of Principal Aims Of The As.
sOciated Teachers Union, Ameri-
can Federation of Teachers.
Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-Education of
union labor men, both leaders and
rank file, is one of the principal aims
of the Associated Teachers Union. To-
cal II of the American Federation of
Teachers, which is just organizing in
the faculties of the colleges and
schools of New York. The Teachers
Federation is affiliated with the Am
erican Federation of Labor.
Professor Herman Defrem, of Co.
lumb;a University, who is president
of the Associated Teachers Union
says the union professors and school
teachers are not going into the labor
movement merely for what they car
get out of it for themselves. Instead
they plan to help their new associates
in the Federation of Labor along the
path of knowledge.
They hope, by opening special night
courses for labor leaders in economics
management and production problems
and kindred subjects, to develop a

in managing industries instead OF
spending his time, as Professor De-
frem says, pickering with employ
ers." Under auspices of the Teachers
Union two other sets of classes viii
be instituted, evening classes in Eng
lish, history, economics and any Other
subjects which wage-erners in gener
al may desire to persue; and day
courses for men on strike, so tina
their time may not be wasted.
The union teachers are in confer
ence with the United Labor Education
Committee on details. British univer
sites some time ago embarked upor
a program of education designed par
ticular1y for wage earners but th'
idea has not made much progress II
this country.
Higher wages for themselves, sait
Professor Defrem, is only a secondar!
aim of the educators. "We need mor'
money but our first two aims are tn

union aim will be the election OF tea

and other officials by the teacher

system, and settlement OF education

Tenure of office of the college IN

fessor would no longer be from yea
