Estimate of Conference.

Discussing the White House in
dustrial conference which begins Oc-
tober 6, the Secretary expressed the
belief that no definite. contractural
agreements will be reached between
capital and labor. Rather, the con-
ference will be a kind of "get-ac-
quainted. get-together" meeting. at
which all elements will discover that
their opponents are individually good
fellows with justice in their various
causes. Out of the sessions there
probably will come a movement to

labor CAUSE HURT,

Commerce Secretary Finds
Public Sympathy Turning
Against Unions.
CLAIMS CHANGE NEEDED

organized labor, is losing the
sympathy of the general public, and
unless it's attitude and actions under
, go alterations very soon the union
movement will suffer serious re-
verse" This opinion was voiced to-
day by Secretary Redfield Of the De-
partment of Commerce.. insa talk with
newspaper men. s5..,..lz. s.....
The belief is spreading. Mr.. Rediield
said, that the latest demands Of some
labor leaders and the strikes which
have followed these demands are
based on a determination to get more
and more power and not on economic
necessity. AS evidence that the atti-
tude of the public is changing, the
Secretary cited the speed and GER
tainty and vigor, with which public Of
| ficials are dealing with strikers in
putting down disorder and the use OF
sharp means of enforcing law in most
instances.
Theoretically public officials and Of
f1cers of the law invariably take this
action. They do it actually when they
are sure the preponderance of public
opinion supports them," Mr.. Redfield
declared.
Cites Gov. Sprouts Action.
He made reference to the recent
statements and action of Gov. Sproul
Of Pennsylvania in the steel strike,
and to the action of the governor and
people of Massachusetts, in the re-
cent Boston police strike
The Secretary went on to explain his
belief that the mass of American peo-
pie, large proportion of which be-
longs to the wage-earning and sala-
ried class. feels that organized labor
agitators are taking advantage of a
sort of postwar economic crisis to in
crease their power over the whole
field of industry at a time when all
elements should be moderate and
pull together for national we'll be-
ing.
Many union labor workers, carry
! ing in their pockets union cards. have
told me they believe some of the
leaders are making eXorbitant de-
mands and disturbing industry there
by with the effect of hurting seri-
ously. and maybe permanently, the
just cause of unionism," Mr.. Redfield
said

Fear Spread Of Strike.

Concern is felt over the possibility
of the strike spreading to the miners
and transport workers unions. which
are affiliated with the National Union
of Railwaymen. James Henry Thomas
leader of the railroad workers, said
yesterday he would ask the assist
ance of the triple alliance" only in
case he "can not fight the railroad
question alone"
Robert Ssnillie. leader of the miners
union, speaking at Glasgow last night,
said that because of the fact that the
mines and railroads are SO closely re-
lated, 90 per cent of the coal diggers
of the country would be idle in few
days. This would automatically bring
about strike conditions without an ac-
tual strike order being sent out. Mr..
Smillie advised members of the union
to be calm and to conduct passive
campaign"

Hundreds Wait at Hut.
Hundreds of buyers were waiting
outside the War Department store at

chasers found more complete stock

permitted Maj. Graham, superintend-

Army supplies in local warehouses and

1t is indeed an enjoyable privi-

senting the Mothers Club at this
good meeting and bidding you well
come in its behalf.
'Mr. Perkins has assuredly made
you feel that you are gladly receiv-

he was placed on the program for
the same purpose that we attach a
tail to kite-just to make 1t go and
he has very kindly left nothing for

ers. our county superintendent and
our state educators.
only last week Dr. Ellis OF the
Department of Education of the Uni
versity Of Texas, in an address to the
Dallas Forum declared that the pub
lie school system of Texas Is in great
er perils than at any time in his
recollection, and il is due to shortage
of teachers brought about by made
quate salaries.
Or. Ellis made out strong case
and his solution of the problem is to
raise additional revenue in some
manner thereby increasing the
teachers salaries generally, and to
do this he has asked the 200
Mothers Clubs in our state to urge
the Governor and legislature to ar
range Tor a state educational rally to
consider the matter. He admits by
this suggestion that our Mothers
Club is one of the strongest factors
in our educational machine today
and ! wish to say to you teachers that
we are going to throw our unstinted
and united efforts into this rally and

take the opportunity on this occa-
sion TO tell you what Mothers
Club really Is.
1T is n movement, the foundation
of which is the broadest and deepest
and safest-we know-once we APP
preciate the connection between the
home and the school mothers club
in every community is inevitable,
and IL is the honor of the mothers OF
the United States that this vital con-
nection has been placed In the lime
light and is commanding the vigorous
support of the press and of women In
every progressive community. In
jarent-teacher meetings full. free and
friendly discussion establishes the
relations that ought to exist between
the parent and the teacher. The
mothc.' Is made to see her vital OPP
portunity in shaping the child's des-
tiny and the teacher is broadened by
learning the conditions in the home.
Consequently the parent and the
teacher form a common understand
ing. each teaching the other some
vital truth that both ought to know.
Much time is saved. friction is avert
ed between the teacher and the pupil
and unkind feeling and complaint
against the teacher is made impos-
sible.
"Ill tell you patrons and teachers.
we need to know each other better.
Too long has II been the custom for
parents to giace their children IN
school and think their duty done.
We get out OF thing only that which
We put into 1t, and the parents need
to throw themselves into the details
and the interest of the school as well
as their children. II the financial
interests OF the patrons OF the
schools had their headquarters AT
the school buildings under the
teaching forces, the teachers would
be overwhelmed with deyout and en-
thusiastic patrons. Now that seems
strange doesn't II for OF course We
value our children above money
but we have not been taught the Inn
portance of cooperating with the
teachers in their training.
