Judge Denies
Liberty to Mar,
Held By State

Liberty was denied w. Burlin-
game held in the state penitentiary
on charges of obtaining money un-
der false prtenses, by an order from
Judge Bingham issued Tuesday, re-
manding him to the custody of state
authorities in the matter of habeas
corpus proceedings filed in Burlin-
5ame's behalf.
1t appears that Burlingam me was
indicted on two charges and tried
md sentenced on but one for ten
year in prison. But the clerk of
the court in writing up the case
made the mistake of writing in the
wrong charge.
Friends of Burlingame imme-
diately filed petition for a writ of
habeas corpus, but in the amended
return filed by the prison authori-
ties it was shown that the Judge
before whom the case was tried had
Burlingame on the right
and therefore, according to
Judge Bingham's order Burlingame
is being lawfully held in prison
Fhe casew as tried in the Umatilla
county court in September. 1919.

Ing bunch of mine owners at Strath-
coma who were having trouble with
smelter. The smelter, one of the few
Hatch monopolies which hadn't been
shaken loose as yet. was located in
the gulch six miles below Strathcona,
and 1t was served exclusively by Its
own industrial railroad, which 1t was
using as n lever to pry an excessive
hauling charge out of the mine own
ers. Wouldn't Mr.. Norcross try to do
something about 1t?
The boss said he'd do anything he
could, and asked what the mine own
ers wanted. Dawes said they wanted
help; that they were going TO hold a
mass meeting in Strathcona the fol-
lowing morning at nine o'clock. Would
1t, or wouldn't 1t, be possible for Mr.
Norcross to be present at that meet
ing?
OF course. the boss said he'd 20.
Dawes went away, and before we
broke off to go to dinner at the rail-
road club. was given a memorandum
order for a special.
At the club l found that Mr.. Nor
cross had an invited guest-Major
Kendrick. For q week or two Mrs.
Sheila had been visiting at the state
capital, and the majors wife and
Maisie Ann were with her. So the
good old major was sort of unattached,
and glad enough, took It, to be a
guest at anybody's table.
For while the table talk-in which,
of course, Jimmie Dodds hadn't any
part whatever-circled around the late
landslide election, and what Governor
Burrell's party would do, now that 1t
had the say-so. But by and by 1t

ROCKEFELLER GIFT
Is Denounced by LabOrite
AS Attempt to Control
Education of
Masses

New York-In a statement signed
by Peter j. Brady, chairman Of the
educational committee of the New
York State Federation of Labor, John
D. Rockefeller's recent gift of $70,-
100000 to the general education board
is denounced as an attempt to control
education of the masses.
Of the $7O,0OO,OOO, $50,0OO,0Oo is to
assist colleges and universities in
crease teachers salaries and the re-
mainder is to be devoted to the inn
provement of medical education.
The statement includes excerpts
from the report of the United States
commission on industrial relations,
which declares that the Rockefeller
fortune was acquired through with
holding of workers wages" violation
of law, cunning and disorder
However, apart from the faint
which besmirches such wealth." says
the trade unionist, organized labor
objects vehemently to its distribu-
tion to educational institutions. In
telligent public opinion, especially
with reference to the distribution of
wealth, whether argued from the
standpoint of labor or Of capital, will
always be influenced by instructions
given IN secondary and higher insti-
tutions Of learning.
Such institutions should be for
ums Of unprejudiced discussion and
study under the guidance of faeul-
ties free from the influence Of any
special interest and especially from
the control Of those who might seek
to stimulate class consciousness BY
means of insidious propaganda inim-
zeal to the best interests of the ma
Jority Of the people
Organized labor is Of the opinion
that subsidies such as those granted
by the general education board, even
though unaccompanied by written
specific conditions or reservations,
cannot but undermine to degree
democratic independence in higher
educational institutions"

ant natural resources can no longer

Wilmette, II.-The publicity de-
partment of the American Federation
of Teachers, affiliated to the A. F Of
L., has forced the reaetionary Ma
tional Educational Association TO
make show Of interest in the teach
ers' welfare.
Point BY point the N E. A. lead
ers have taken over the principles
Of the American Federation of Teach
ers," it is stated "They are keen
enough to understand that these
principles would win the sympathy
and probably the allegiance of class
room teachers. They dread the loss
Of power ard prestige which was sure
to affect the n E. A. as soon as the
majority of class room teachers went
over to the A. F. T. After several
generations of futility and inaction,
they have in the past three years be
come singularly devoted to the ideas
Of democracy and initiative among
teachers, better pay and better teach
ing conditions, and greater voice
in educational councils and in the ~
E. A. itself They have swallowed
practically the whole teacher pro-
gram of the A. F T. and are preach
ing A. r. T. doctrines with JUNCTION
and force
The N. f. A. machine of school
administrators has exercised two
kinds of coercion; it has coerced or
strongly influenced teachers into its
own organization; it has coerced or
strongly impelled teachers out Of the
A. F. T Everywhere throughout the
United States the strongest pressure,
that of public opinion, has been train
ed upon the A. F. 7. As a result of
the lectures delivered by N. f. A. of
ticers on tour the air is full of mis-
conceptions of the type of organiza-
tion and the aims and achievements
