Part Time Schools
For Work Children

One of the most progressive of
the recent movements is compulsory
education has been the passage by
many state of continuation school
laws, which afford a child who has
left school for employment oppor-
tunity for further education by pro-
viding part-time compulsory school
ing for specified number of hours
each week Some of these laws APP
ply also to unemployed children or
to children who are no longer sub
iect to day-school attendance re-
quirements. A brief analysis of
the continuation and evening school
laws of each state, as well as those
prescribing day-school attendance,
is shown in a chart recently issued
by the U. S. Department of Labor
through the Children's Bureau, en-
titled State Compulsory School
Attendance Standards Affecting the
Employment of Minors, January /,
1921"
This chart shows that % states
now have compulsory provisions for
continuation school attendance In
three of these states, however, the
establishment of such schools is not
compulsory, and in one, the school
authorities are merely empowered
not compelled, to establish part-time
schools and to require attendance
The age limit to which the COM
pulsory attendance provisions APP
ply varies. 10 states requiring at
tendance up to 10 years of age, one
state up to II, and II states up to
16. The amount of attendance is
from A to hours weekly; the laws
of each state either specify or I'M
ply that this period shall be count
ed as part of the child's legal
working hours.
In eight states, the law permits
no exemptions; in the other states,
the exemptions vary, three eXcus-
ing child who has completed the
eighth grade.
Only u states now provide for
evening school attendance, the prog
ress which has been made in day
and continuation school laws having
| obviated this need to great eX-
| tent, at least for children under IS.
In most of these states, the law
covers only minors over 16 who can
not speak. read, or write English
with specified proficiency, in one
state applying to aliens only. As
in the continuation school laws, the
attendance requirement varies, some
states having only general re-
quirement of regular attendance"
Others specifying an attendance of
from four to eight hours weekly.

Expose Ignored BY Press

Cleveland. July 16.-The expose
by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for
the Lockwood building trust probe.
in New York, has been ignored by
the public press, said Charles Smith.
business representative of the
Building Trades Council.
Mr.. Untermyer declares that his
investigation has shown that build
ing combines have robbed the pub
lie of tens Of millions of dollars,
and have made Americas housing
situation the trade unionist said.
THE attorney frankly states that
he has been unable to discover a
single article that enters into build
ing construction that is not the
subject of combination, and adds that
he has every reason to believe that
this is true of at least one-half
Of the vast industries of the Unit
ed States outside of the building
trades"
What is true Of these cOmbina-
tions is true in equal degre of the
bankers and insurance companies
that exact usurious rates Of inter-
est, lay on heavy tolls for various
specious reasons and palm off
WORTHLESS property on those who
seek mortgage loans.
1T is significant that the import
ance Of these revelations have been
lost on the press. 1t had much to
say Of the housing situation until
the reason for its existence was
established. Then it forgot all about
the subject. If it couldn't blame
the workers, it wouldn't censure
anybody"

Rangers Asked to
Give Up Smoking

Portland, Ore, July l9, 192l'--
Realizing the danger of forest fires
from burning tobacco even when
used in the woods by forest OIL
GERS, District Forester Geo. h. Ce--
ell has Just called upon the field
men of the national forests of Ore
gon and Washington to refrain vol
unfairly from smoking during the
next few months of extreme fire
danger.
"The Secretary of Agriculture,
upon my recommendation, approved
recently regulation prohibiting
smoking in the Olympic blowdoWn
area, and | feel that | am justified
in asking every field officer in the
North Pacific District to volunteer
to refrain from smoking in the
forests, outside of camps and houses,
during the fire season. said Mr..
Cecil.
"The forest ranger recognizes
the District Forester said, that
smoking accidents viii happen and
that even the most careful man has
lapses." Further it is Of course
the plain duty Of every forest Of
ficer to do everything within his
power by example, education, and
otherwise to eliminate the serious
hazard which results from careless
smokers in the forests"
"A large body of forest officers
will undoubtedly go without their
smokes this summer for the good of
the cause and this fact should be
an important factor in driving home
the idea of care with fire, both to
the general public and to the thou
sands of people who come in con-
tact with the rangers on the job"
said Mr. Cecil.
Il am asking every one of the
800 field men in this District who
is a smoker to let me know if he
desires to place himself on record
as agreeing to refrain from smok-
ing in the woods during the danger
Gus fire season, and | believe that
| know the forest officers of these
two states we'll enough to say that
the large majority will be glad to
deprive themselves Of a friendly
pipe or "pill' as they go about
their work this summer if they can
help the cause of forest fire pre-
vention by SO doing the District
Forester remarked.
To date the fire season in the
North Pacific District has been IA
vorable. The period of high haz-
ard is now here, however, and forest
officers are hoping that the part
of the public that uses the National
Forests will be more careful this
year than ever before, and that the
percentage of man-caused fires may
be cut down from the high figure
of 70 per cent that has held for
many years.

To Discuss Labor Issues

New York, July 16-The national
civic federation announces the or
ganization of a national industrial
committee in order "to bring to-
gether the representatives of the
non-revolutionary labor movement,
the employers who believe in con-
ferring with labor, and the repre-
sentatives of the general public"
Among the questions to be con-
sidered, says the statement, are:
Collective bargaining; What is
it? Is it applicable under all CON
ditiOns? And when worked out to
its logical conclusion does it as de-
clared by some, lead to a conspir-
acy against the public?
Compulsory arbitration: Is il
workable? And is it desirable if
workable?
"Injunctions in labor disputes: Is
this writ abused as alleged by rep
resentatives of labor? Or should il
be extended as demanded by some
employers?
The shop committee system: Car
it be made equally workable in
union and non-union plants? Does
it tend toward sovietism as it is
charged it is doing in England?
Industrial democracy: What is
meant by this term so widely adj
vocated by PEOPLE who mean en-
tirely different things?
"The American shop movement
(sO-called) Is it a camouflaged
scheme to destroy the trade unions
as charged by the leaders of labor
Unemployment: Can it be miti-
gated and how?"
The list of trade unionists an
nounced as accepting membership
on the committee include:
Samuel Gompers, James Duncan,
Joseph Valetine, Frank Duffy, w
D. Mahon, T. A. Rickert, Jacob
Fischer Mathew Vol, Daniel J
Tobin, John Donlin, w. L. Hutche-
son, John Mcfarland, John A. Vol
Warren s. Stone, W. G. Lee, L. E

WILL THIS KEEP
MEN EMPLOYED?
Unemployment Insurance An
Incentive to Industry to Keep
Wheels Turning, Says Noted
Economist.

State laws for unemployment in
surance, along the lines Of the bill
favorably reported by a committee
of the Wisconsin Senate, will be
an aid to industry in preventing un-
employment, lust as wOrkmen $
compensation laws have stimulated
accident prevention declared Pro-
fessor John K. Commons of the
University of Wisconsin in an adj
dress here at the recent National
Conference of Social Work.
at is expected that employers
under law of this kind" said
Professor Commons, will organize
their employment and labor man
agement departments as effectively
as they have their safety depart
ments. 1t is also expected that the
liability incurred when man is
laid off on account Of lack of work
will prevent employers from over
expanding with rush orders and in
duce them to spread out their work
more evenly through the year. This
is based on the actual experience
of several large manufacturing es-
adjustments in different parts of
the country which have done much
during the past ten or fifteen years
towards stabilizing employment"
According to Professor Commons,
legislation for unemployment insur-
ance as advanced in the United
States avoids philanthropy or pa
ternalism, and is based on the idea
that unemployment can be largely
prevented by good business manage
ment if organized on the same ba-
sis as the safety and accident pre-
vention work.
"On this account" he continues,
''the Wisconsin bill provides for an
Employers Mutual Employment In
surance Company operated solely by
the employers, the funds contribut-
ed solely by the employers under
the supervision of the state. A
payment of $100 a day for 10
weeks is provided to be met by
the employer exactly as in the case
of workmen's compensation. But
if the employer finds a lob for the
man when laid off, the man is re-
quired to accept it, under reasonable
conditions, and then compensation
ceases if he refuses to accept the
new Job. Applications are made
and recorded at the state free en-
ployment offices Other rules are
taken from the British unemploy-
ment insurance act.

Injunction Refused

Spokane, Wash, July 16.-The su-
perior court declined to issue an
injunction against the Typographical
Union because its members en-
ployed in a commercial plant re-
fused to do work for other firms
that would not grant the 44-hour
week. The court said:
1T is not contended that any
personal right of plaintiff is en-
croached upon. What property right
of his is invaded? There is no de-
struction Of his property threaten
ed. He has no property right in
his employees.
1T is not open to question that
under the statute, the defendant
union could call a strike, thus caus-
ing plaintiffs employees to quit in
concert. What it has done is one
step removed from calling a strike.
1t has merely threatened to call a
strike if the employer insists on
its members doing work for the spe-
Gifted printing establishment. 1t
can not be unlawful to threaten to
do that which is lawful The ac-
ton is dismissed"

Wolves Guard Sheep
Is Shipping Policy?

Washington, July 16.-"Setting
the wolves to guard the sheep" is
Andrew Furuseths comment on
statements in the public press that
the United States shipping board
will work in the closed co-opera-
ton with the American Steamship
Owners association, and that the
board will consult with the ship
owners.
Come to think of it," said the
executive of the seamen's union,
chat policy is not new. 1t has
operated for 80 years, with the eN-
ception of the passage of the sea-
mems law and during the war. In
the latter period, however, the ship
owners were dollar-a-year patriots.
at was the ship owners who, IN
1851 and 1884, secured exemption of
their vessels from all liability, plac
ing risks and dangers on the ship
per and traveller, while the ship own
err escaped the common liability Of
other business.
"In 1867 the ship owners drove
the American boy from the sea by
securing legislation that kept the
benefits of the thirteenth amend
ment from American seamen.
Through all these years it was
on the ship owners advice that ship
builders held a monopoly which
raised the cost of American vessels
and drove American capital under
foreign flags.
"Now we are told that these same
influences will aid the shipping
board in building up a merchant
marie. Once again are the wolves
set to guard the sheep"
The shipping board announces
the appointment of three vice-presi-
dents to direct the emergency fleet
corporation. Two of them, J. B.
Smull of New York and w. j. Love
of Baltimore, were the unanimous
choice of ship owners, it is stated.
