BRITISH FAVOR PACT

London, Feb. 23.-British league
of nations enthusiasts have reached
the point where they want to admit
the United States to the league on
the principles of "all benefits and
no risks" the Morning Post said
today.
The idea of admitting America
with the understanding she can
withdraw and "go home when it
begins to rain is too fantastic
humiliation" for Great Britain to
endure. the newspaper said.
Little hope was held out in gov
ernmental circles that the proposed
international financial conference to
be called by the league about March,
Is at Geneva can obtain tangible
results. 1t was learned definitely.
however. that league officials intend
to call the conference at the earliest
possible time in conformity with the.
recent decision of the league council.

That Boishevistic domination of
the Washington public schools by or
ganized labor has caused the present
school troubles was the assertion of
Senator Henry L. Myers, Democrat.
of Montana. in the Senate yesterday.
in the course of a bitter attack on
organized labor for its attitude in
matters OF legislation.
"Ofganized labor is dominating the
schools OF the District OF Columbia
today" declared Senator Myers. The
District schools arc run on Soviet
system The teachers through their
union are affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. and they
run things to suit themselves and can
depose practically any officer they
please.
II believe II was the attitude of
these union teachers that deposed
Thurston. There was
a teacher about a year ago who
gained unpleasant notoriety by lee
turing on the Ideals and virtues Of
Bolshevism. When she was discip-
lined the teachers union rose In re-
bellion. the teacher was reinstated.
and two members OF the Board OF
Education who voted for her disrnis-
sal are not on the board today and
their places have been taken by per-
sops more favorable to labor. The
board is practically subservient TO
the teachers union"
Sterling Asks Question.
At this point, Senator Sterling in
'terposed. saying II am quite sure the
teachers protested against the dis
missal OF Thurston."
THE newspapers give a different
impression" replied Senator Myers.
and ] think the majority of opin-
ion upholds my view. This is an
Grafton of Labor works in the field
of politics.
We have come to the point
where we have a government OF
labor unions. We can hardly hope
to have anything which they op-
pose pass the House. as witne., the
anti-strike clause of the railroad
bill. In the present false alignment
of political parties ii has become
