Organized labor's interest in educa-

by the authorization Of a committee

TO study the possibilities Of central

formation of 'trade-uniOn colleges" in
q number of the large cities Of the

Charles B. Stillman, president Of the
American Federation of Teachers.
Among the trade-uniOn colleges es-
tablished are those at Boston, Wash
ington, Philadelphia and Seattle, Mr..
Stillman said. In New York city, he
declared, the Ladies' Garment Work
ers' union had secured the cO-opera-
ton Of the board of education in pro-
viding schoolrooms and teachers, and
had supplied number Of lecturers of
their own. More recently, he added,
various unions there have united in
developing this educational work on
a larger scale.
In Chicago the schools committee of
the Chicago Federation Of Labor and
the educational committee of the
WOman's Trade Union league are CO.
operating with the board of education
by holding classes once a week. The
