Efforts Be Made to Lessen Mistakes Which Costs Gov

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. B. A manual textbook, dealing with the operation of the entire post office department and methods of utilizat- ing the gigantic postal system. is being prepared by committee here. for introduction in the grade schools of this state with the hope of ulti- mately establishing this book in ev- cry public educational institution in the United States. It is hoped to instruct children while they are young how to use the post office. In an effort to lessen the mistakes which are costing the Government millions of dollars.
 Phillip E. Carlson, of this city, president of the Minnesota Educa- tionai Association. is head of the committee which is drawing up the textbook. Approval of the under taking has been given by Postmaster General Win Hays, who. after the manual is completed. will give his and the departments authorization to use the book in the public according to Postmaster E.

 The check of, as explained by per sons familiar with the mining in dustry, is the plan by which the coal companies deduct, from miners wages their dues to the union. their special assessments, money due the company for supplies, rent of com pany houses and other incidentals such as hospital service and main tenance of d mine physician. h. stead of the union member paying his dues directly to local union of ficials the dues are~retained by the company and paid to the secretary of the local union.
 Origination Not Clear.
 When the. check-off originated is not clear Some of the older mem bers of the Union declare that it was first adopted in Indiana while others declare that it's use in Ohio ante-dated its use in the Hoosior state.
 The check-off, it is said, has had q gradual growth, being taken ups in the various coal fields at different times. It was first used by the com panies to deduct from miners wages the sums due the company for rent and supplies. With the growth of the union district agreements were formulated by which the companies checked off the miners dues
 Conditions Existing.
 The peculiar conditions existing in the mining industry more than twenty years ago were in part re sponsible for the .check-off, it is also ponted out As the union grew and gained strength 1t became practice at different mines for committees to stand at the niouths Of. the mines and refuse to permit miners to enter who had not paid their dues and thus were not in good standing It was not uncommon that the non payment of dues was caused by the inprovidence of the miner. The re- suit was chaos in the labor supply and finally resulted in the operators
 
 from the pay of the miners as a means of assuring the constant good standing of the miners. This condi- ton is said to have existed in a number of states.
 The check-off had never been in corporated in any Interstate wage agreements, according to William Greene, secretary-treasurer of The United Mine Workers. It was brought into the settlement of the coal strike in 1919, however. At this time the operators contendcd for abolition of the check-off but dropped this contention when the strike was settled in accordance with the findings of the Bituminous Coal Commission appointed by Presi- dent Wilson.

ing dues and assessments from mem bers of the organization. The check oh, however. is now considered al- most vital to the welfare of the union: in fact 1t is so essential that President John L. Lewis has sent word to district officers that discon- unuance of the plan should be re- garded as breaking the existing wage agreements with operators. A temporary injunction issued by Judge A. B. Anderson in U. s. Dis trict Court forbidding continuance of the check-of prompted Mir. Lewis message.
 Historical Development.
 Now that the controversy has arisen miners and operators are giv- ing serious consideration to the hie- torical development of the check-off system while the general public won- ders what is the nature of this tefse technicality that threatens to stop

 When we went to the Kindergar ten it seemed just like home because there we heard the same stories Mother had told us.

In the primary our first reading books contained so many of these stories we knew and liked that we read 1t through in no time.
