THE STATE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM ENDORSED
Maryland State Grange Endorses
Movement for Better Schools


The following resolutions were
adopted at the meeting of the Mary
land State Grange recently:
Resolved By the Maryland State
Grange in annual session at Cam
bridge, December 1916, 1921, that
we re-affirm our belief in the abso-
lutte necessity for an adequate sys-
TEN of free public education adapted
to the specific and general needs of
all the people. Deploring the low
rank of Maryland among the States,
we endorse the program for educa-
ton which has been formulated by
the school people of the State, having
for its final purpose without increas-
ing direct taxation, competent, well
trained teacher, in hearty accord
with American ideals, in every pub
lie school position in Maryland.
We particularly commend the prin-
ciple of an equalization fund, which
will make it possible to afford a
more nearly equal educational OPP
portunity to all the children of the
State.
Resolved, That copy of this res
olution be sent to the Governor of
Maryland, to every member of the
coming Legislature and to the State
Superintendent of Schools.
Resolved, That we recommend that
the subordinate oranges take active
steps to stimulate public sentiment
in favor of eliminating as rapidly as
practicable all Anticipated, unhygien-
ic and unfit rural school buildings, to
the end that the country school may
be afforded adequate and proper IA
cilities for school work. We urge
the several county school authorities
to formulate comprehensive forward
looking program of rural school con-
solidation for their respective coun-
ties and put the same into effect at
such times and in such manner as is
found to be feasible.

The Luxembourg, solitary and de-
populated. was delicious. The quin-
cunXes and flower beds sent balm and
daZzlement into the light. and the
branches, wild in the brillianCy Of
midday, seemed trying to embrace
each other. There was in the syca-
moreS a twittering Of linnetS, the
sparrOws were triumphal, and the
wOodpeckers crept along the chestnut
gently tapping the holes in the bark.
The beds accepted the legitimate roy
atty of the lilies for the most august
of perfumes is that which issues from
whiteness. The sharp odor of the
carnations was inhaled. The
sun gilded purpled, and illumined the
tulips, which are nothing but all the
varieties of flame made into flowers.
All around the tulip-beds hummed the
bees, the flashes of these fire-nowers.
All was grace and gayety. even the
coming shower, for that relapse, by
which the lilies and honey-suckles
would profit, had nothing alarming
about 1t, and the swallows made the
delicious menace of lying low.-"Les
Miserables," Victor Hugo.

The First Necklaces.

The necklace, now an ornament, was
formerly something that was badge
of disgrace. All slaves wore collars
as a symbol Of their servitude. The
workers had heavy iron affairs. but
the favorite slaves Of a household
wore light gold bands or simply orna-
mental chains which were mere FORMS
not in any way combining. The posi-
bilities Of the necklace for decorative
purposes caused it to lose its servile
significance and become an article Of
wear

of the children of Spokane county
do not drink milk, according to fig
ures taken in a milk survey of
eight Washington counties, includ-
ing Spokane and King, by the home
economies demonstrators of the
State College. Only 10 per cent of
the King county children were
found to be non-milk users.
Grays Harbor county, according
to the survey, is the champion milk
drinking county among the coun-
ties reached by the demonstrators

tatiycs of the federation of those
organizations.
The Board also decided that ex-
isting agreements between engine
men and trainmen on the various
roads We're not terminated by de-
cision ll9 and that changes in
schedules or agreements of the
train, engine and yard service en-
ployes can only be made after the
required notice either by agreement
of the parties or by decision of the
Board after conference between
representatives OF the employees and
the Arrangements, and proper refer
oucc i'm accordance with the provis-
ions Of the trans pOrtatlon act and
the rules OF the Board.
The Board in both instances fol-
lowed the provisions of the trans
portation act covering the points at
issue and defeated the attempts of
the roads involved to violate these
provisions. The transportation act
was drawn by attorneys for the
roads and passed substantially as
introduced, and the evident purpose
of the roads to ignore those pro-
visions of the law adversely affect
ing them, while demanding that pro-
visions favoring them be enforced
in their interests but another
evidence OF the fact that they are
only willing to obey the law when
obedience to law means added wealth
and power for them. The decisions
of the Board have brought them up
with a round turn and compels them
to obey the law.

PULLMAN co. LOSES

The Board also dismissed, sum-
marlly, the application of the Pull
man Company for a reduction Of
wages because it, too had violated
the law.
In its decision dismissing the APP
plication the Board said
The Labor Board has clearly set
forth its views that parties shall
exert every effort to avoid inter
ruption of traffic, and that it is the
duty of the carrier to confer or
attempt to confer with the repre-
sentatives Of the employees and
that these preiminaries are not
tcchnicalities but perquisite to a
hearing.
The letter and spirit of section
30l Of the transportation act have
not been complied with by the car
rier The act will not have been
complied with until the carrier
deavored to meet in conference the
duly designated representatives of
the employees directly interested in
the dispute and in case Of disagree
ment shall have properly certified
the dispute to the Labor Board"
The opinion further recites that
the majority of said employees
shall have the right to select their
said representatives as provided in

pany must deal with the federated

The American Federation of La
Dor today ordered a conference to
be called within 80 days to discuss
the question of eliminating race
and sex restriction in those inter-
national union constitutions where
they still are found.
The decision to follow this course
is a triumph of voluntary action
and a tribute to the serviceabillty
of voluntary action as principle.
The convention also endorsed the
44-hour fight in the commercial
printing industry and condemned the
employing commercial printers for
breach of agreement.
BY this action the convention
went on record for the faithful OBJ
The vote was interpreted to mean
that contractual obligations must
not be disregarded.
In the same session the con-
vention refused to adopt a resolu-
ton calling for the siX-hour work
day. The convention view was that
short workday movements must be
initiated by the affiliated unions
themselves. The action means that
the Federation will not initiate such
movements, but that the autonomy
of affiliated unions places such
matters under their control.
Any affiliated body, however,
that undertakes a shorter workday
movement in its own field will have
Federation support, according to the
action of today.
The delegates went through two
roll calls this afternoon. One was
on the question of amending the
constitution to change the conven-
ton time from June to October.
The proposal to change was de-
feated. The other was on the ques-
ton of leaving the choice of the
convention city to the executive
council. This also was defeated
and the convention will name the
convention city.

luton, President Furuseth of the
Seamen's Union said in part:
you are told that this is a
question Of wages. This is not
true. You are told that it is a
question Of utilizing in d profitable
way our investment. That is not
true. The whole monetary ques-
ton involved from the ships point
of view is eleven dollars and two
bits in thousand-so ridiculously
small that it cannot influence the
real situation at all. The real
thing they want to do, although
they strenuously deny it, is to drive
the American from the sea, be-
cause they know-though they do
not talk aloud about it-that upon
The Americans remaining at sea
and upon the development of high
grade Of skill will depend whether
America can remain at sea or not.
1T is true that through the law
that was enacted, the La Toilette
Act, the American has come to sea.
Now they want the law destroyed,
they want the organization destroy
ed to get rid of the American in
order that they may be able to buy
the vessels for the price of junk.
And so it being a secret, quiet
and insidous means that they have
adopted, we have a right TO call it
torpedoing.
"Practically every man in this
hall is a skilled man of some kind,
and he knows that without skill
competition with those who are
skilled is impossible. At our con-
vention, depending upon the prom
ises that had been made by the
government, by the ship owners and
by ourselves as organized seamen,
during the war, and which prom
ises brought the American to sea-
depending upon those things we en-
deavored to bring about condition
of constantly increasing skill in
the American seaman. That seemed
to be the climax of the whole sit
uation, because with the policy they
have adopted the development of
skill is an impossibility.
'If anybody is to be employed at
sea, regardless of any other thing
except his faithfulness to the idea
that unionism is crime, that CO.
! operation and coordination is wrong,
! if that is to be the only condition
upon which employment can be OBJ
tanned; if it is to be absolutely
promiscuous, then there will come
period of such deterioration as to
make the American vessel the most
unsafe thing that is sailing on the
worlds waters.
"Under that condition, of course,
competition with other nations is an
| impossibility, and competition with
the real competitor, Great Britain
is an absurdity, because they have
arranged for a working together,
cooperation Of the government, of
the private ship owner on shore and
the personnel at sea. Under those
circumstances we cannot agree to
the condition that they want to i'm
pose. 1t is very possible that they
may, for the time being, succeed in
! imposing it; it could hardly be ex-
/ 'pected that a lot of mudsills, no
matter what ideals they may be
obsessed with, could take up sue
cessfully a struggle against such
awful odds as is made up of an
international shipping federation
and the United States government
rolled into one.
81 have little hope of any sue
cess in this struggle The men

The MeNican Resolution

Expressing the hope that Mexico
would soon be accorded recognition
by the United States government
the American Federation of Labor
convention today approved the ac-
ton of the American delegates to
the recent Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor convention, and de
cided that hereafter there should
be an exchange of fraternal dele
gates with the Mexican Federation
Of Labor
The report of the committee on
international labor relations, to
which the subject was referred,
made the following report which
was adopted unanimously:
Your committee finds the report
of the third annual convention of
the Pan-American Federation of
Labor. submitted to US by the
Council. most interesting and in
structive, and we commend both the
council and the delegation which
represented the A. f. of L. in that
convention
The American Federation of
Labor has from the first been the
ardent champion of freedom for the
Mexican people and it is to us
source of the deepest qualification
to know that our hopes are find
ing fruition."
We commend the report of the
Pan-American convention to the
careful, thoughtful reading of every
delegate. Mexico has been and Is
beset with problems Of the most
difficult nature Her working peo-
pie struggle and labor under grave
and complex burdens. We can only
offer our help and encouragement.
The fundamentals Of solution must
be the fruit of the thought of the
Mexican workers and of their eX-
perience.'
I'VE are mindful of the greed
which still seeks satisfaction in the
rich resources of Mexico and inso
far as that greed emanates from
our country we must feel bound to
place ourselves in opposition to it.
at is not going beyond the
bounds of good citizenship to eX-
press here the hope that relations
between our government and the
Mexican government soon may be
re-cstablished on a basis of honor
and respect, in order that our peo-
pie may have that official contact
and communication which is essen
tial in modern society,""
I'VE believe that an early adop
ton of such course, to re-establish
the relations of the two nations on
a sound and friendly basis, will do
much to bring speedy solution to
other problems of Importance
which, in the absence of official
friendly relations, are less likely
of speedy and amicable settlement"
"In addition, we believe there
should be the closet contact between
the movements of the workers in
both countries. The Mexican work
ers have a bona fide trade union
movement, as the report of our
delegation points out. To the end
that there may be better under
standing and a more harmonious
relationship where it is so essen
tial we recommend that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor invite the
Mexican Federation of Labor to
send to future conventions of our
Federation a representative as fra
ternal delegate, and we recommend
that the American Federation of
delegate to the convention of the
Mexican Federation Of Labor"
"Inasmuch as the Mexican Fedora
ton OF Labor is now in session we
recommend that the President of the
A. F. of L. send fraternal greet
ings to that convention"
