We are prone to brag about our
educational ARRANGEMENTS, and the

books as the children use now. They
were noe taught so many things, but
what they did learn they learned
thoroughly. The result was that when
they grew up they were well ground
cd in the things they had been study
ing.
Children in school today learn a
were not taught so many things. but
they do not learn a great deal about

This defect in our present-day

AN UNWISE "ORDER"

Ten thousand negro employees il
Southern railway shop ccnters have
been ordered to affiliate with the six
shop crafts unions by the American
Federation of Labor as a preliminary
move toward modifying a 100 per
cent union labor army in the pro-
posed nationwide battle against wage
reductions on the railroads.
Surprising a negro does not care to
join the union, pay dues. and stand
the chance of going out on a strike
order which might mean months of
unemployment for him?
Under p~resent-day conditions would
his life be safe if he refused to join
the union and still tried TO work at
his job? We believe that it would,
for the great mass of the American
people are beginning to see the differ
ence between the evils OF the Closed
Shop which deny a man the right to
work, unless he belongs to a specified
organization, and the Open-Shop or
American plan, which recognizes the
right of any man to work as he sees
fit, either as a Union or a non-Union
man. Under our Constitution any
man would have a right to continue
in his employment without belonging
to any labor organization.
The American Federation of Labor

any man. Union or non-Union. in his

money held by foreigners and people
of small means who either did not
understand or feared for the safety Of
their funds in private banks.

Savings Bank should compete with OF

posal to increase interest rates to !
per cent would, however, disrupt our
whole banking system, and especially
the smaller country banks.
.fia Pastel Sarines Bank should
not compete in this manner as there
is no way in which private industry
can meet such government competi-
ton, except at increased cost of OPP
Grafton which must eventually be born
by the public. Ii private banks have
to pay more interest on savings &C
counts, they will have to charge more
the money they loan.
The Postal Savings Bank in no way
takes the place Of the private bank
from the standpoint of business accom-
mediation, but by raising its interest
rates on savings it can force the pri-
