The State Federation Of Labor's
in its report, which is to be submitted
to the federation tomorrow at its
meeting in Binghamton, the repeal OF
the Rockefeller Foundations charter.
Peter j. Brady, chairman of the COM
mittec, includes in the report state
ment attributed to Frederick 7. Gates,
formerly president of the Rockefeller
General Education Board, that it is
the intention of the board to teach
children "to do in perfect way the
things their fathers and mothers are
doing in an imperfect way in the
homes, in the shops and on the farms"
1t is the belief of the committee
that this and other statements Mr..
Gates is said to have made show that
the money devoted by the Rockefeller
Foundation to education is intended to
graduate from its schools children who
will be satisfied with things as they
are and content to attempt no more
than their parents attempted.

report, "to be on the alert and ex-

The report also recommends Iegisla-

$4,000 a year for teachers and the ex-

urged to make the election of all mem
