FEEDER ATION SCORES "IOYALTY"
 LAWS INTENDED TO COERCE
 TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

authorities The trade union move ment does not expect any teacher to be disloyal to the principle of consti- tutional government, and 1t does not believe there IS the slightest danger that public school teachers will preach treason or incite to riot, or in any other way abet the forcible over turn of democratic government.
 To suppose that specoil laws, not applying to other citizens, are needed to restrain them from doing so is an insult to the teaching profession, and is, in fact, so absurd that we cannot but believe the instigators of such legislation had other objects in mind than their announced purpose. And, in fact, the practical result of such laws is to endanger the independence of teachers in dealing with social problems Exactly what is 'disloyal- ty' and who is to be the judge? Is it 'disloyaP to discuss possible constitu- tional changes in our form of govern ment Many narrow-minded polite ians would call it so. Is it 'disloyal' to tell the truth about vested inter ests in industry, or to explain the justification of strike? Many Cham bers of Commerce would call it SO. Such laws are not needed to prevent the encouragement of violent revolu- ton, but they do make 1t possible to prohibit any discussion which does not sanctify the status quo. They open the door to all reactionary pow CTS, which can use them to introduce fear and compulsion into public school teaching, to encourage petty administrative tyranny and espionage, and to discourage any form of in strustion whih might offend the tenn porarily ruling political machine or commercial interest.
 But, after all, comparatively few states have as yet passed the so- called loyalty educational laws, and the number of teachers who have been dismissed or threatened with dismissal on account of their views IS small in comparison with the total number These are important only as extreme symptoms of what is go- ing on elsewhere, in a more unnotice- able and subtle, but nevertheelss per vasive and dangerous way.
 "Your committee believes that the American Federation of Labor should reaffirm it's traditional position, and recommend that organized labor make every effort to secure the re- peal of measures of the type of the Iusk laws wherever they have been enacted, and further recommends the renewed adoption of the following declaration of the Atlantic City con vention, which has only been given added point during the last three years:

 THREATENS, THE CONVENTION DECLARES

 Deprive Citizens of Inherent Liberties.

usurped"
 The prophetic warning of the great champion of American democracy threatens to come true.
 What confronts the workers of America is not. one or several casual court decisions favoring the interests of property as against the human rights of labor, but series of ad- publications of the higest tribunal of the land, successively destroying a basic right or cherished acquisition of organized labor, each forming a link in fateful chain consciously design ed to enslave the workers of Amer ica.
 Five years ago severe blow was dealt by the Supreme Court decision in the notorious case of the Hitchman Coal & Coke Company vs. Mitchell which seriously limited the right of lishments The decision did not re- ceive the condemnation it justly de- served because public attention was almost exclusively centered on the world war.
 On January 3, 1921, the Supreme Court in the case of Duplex Printing IIeSS NOlIIpdHy 'S. DSCliHS, pIdCtI- cally nulli6ed the portions oi the safeguard the rights of labor in in- dustrial disputes and to limit the power of the courts to decide such disputes by summary injunction, thus striking down with one fell stroke the results of unceasing agitation of organized labor which had extended over 20 years and was designed to equalize before the law the position of workers and employers.
 In December, 1921, the Supreme Court by its decision in the case of Truax vs. Corrigan, set aside as un- constitutional a state law which linn ited the, power of the courts to issue injunction in labor disputes, thus frustrating the efforts of labor in all industrial states to secure relief from the arrogated authority of the courts.
 In the same month the court in the case of American Steel Foundries vs. Tri-City Central Trades Council, vir- tually abolished the right of striking workers to picket, no matter how peaceably, authorized the courts arbi- trarily to regulate the conduct of strikes, and set up a rule limiting strikers to the stationing of one "mis- sionary" in front of each entrance to the struck stablishment-one strik- ing missionary" to persuade hun dreds or even thousands of strike breakers of the iniquity of their course. What mockery upon the acknowledged right of workers on strike to win over would-be strike breakers by pleading and persuasion! On May 15, 1922, the Supreme Court set aside as unconstitutional the Child Labor Law, which had been enacted after years of agitation on the part of the most forward-looking and humane elements of our citizenship On June 5, 1922, the Supreme

Creek, N. r., as request had been made to the American Federation of Labor by some of the employees of three large factories which manufactured various grain cleaning machines used by the grain and wheat farmers of the west. These three plants employed 600 work CTS, including small number of wom- en, and were conducted at that time up- on what is now termed by the United States Chamber of Commerce which bor- rowed the phrase from Judge Gary, of the United States Steel, the ''open shop or the American plan," wherein a man or woman discovered having any sym pathy, cooperative or otherwise, with continue to be employed.
 These factories were genuine "open shop" affairs where wages were low, hours of labor long, and the working conditions certainly rotten. Nearly all of the employees were brought up on farms and, in consequence thereof had never come in contact with anything that would tend to enlighten them on matters of interest to them, such as labor union.
 In addition to working 10 long dreary hours of hard labor in one of these plants for a small wage per hour, in sufficient to keep body and soul together. they were compelled to and did work their own farms or m the employ of others each day before and after they had worked in their respective factories in order to keep part pace with the high cost of living.
 The conditions of employment sur rounding these helpless creatures were indeed as deplorable as was the show that took place in their town years ago, and made the task less difficult to form them into a labor union.
 The work of organizing them had, of necessity, to be done in secret and was intended to be continued upon those lines for long time The first two meetings were of that kind but we were soon com pel1ed to seek the largest hall obtain able. At the third meeting every em- ploye in those establishments, who had been heretofore mute and had not felt justified in protesting against the condi- tions of employment which existed inside of those plants went to the box office of the union and bought membership ticket, went into the meeting of his own organization and you ought to have heard him and her protest against the terrible conditions of employment and the low wages paid by these open shop employ CTS. .- --s- ..---
 The following morning the factories were all closed for the reason that the employees refused to work any longer under the conditions of an "open shop" or the "American plan"
 Such is our industrial life.

Acts Like the 'Lusk Law" in New York and Attempted Else where, Di S gra C e Country, Convention Says.

Cincinnati, O., June 3o.--So-called loyalty laws were vigorously con demned by the American Federation of Labor in adoption of the report of the committee on education which discussed the issue in detail.
 Such activities strike at the very heart of successful democracy" says the declaration adopted by the con- vention
 "The trade union movement in the United States has always taken a vital interest in public education and has in many instances throughout the past century been responsible for the extension and strengthening of the educational system of the country Professor F. T. Carlton declares The vitality of the movement for tax-supported schools was derived not from the humanitarian leaders, but from the growing class of wage earners.'
 Not, therefore, chiefly because the reactionary propaganda in question may tend to injure the immediate in terests of working men and women, but rather because organized labor IS proud of it's record as one of the or iginal sponsors of universal public education, and sees the importance to the nation of keeping the wells of truth undefled, it was found neces- sary to investigate the truth of these reports, the extent of the damage done, and to inquire in what ways the trade unions may cooperate in the effort to give the youth of the coun- try free and unfettered education which will enable them to cope with the problems of the future
 "An obvious and unmistaka6le danger is that of legislation such as was embodied in the so-called Lusk laws of New York, and is being sought elsewhere.

 45 Minutes From Buffalo
Minutes From Buffalo
By HENRY STREIFLER, Organizer, A. F. of L., Buffalo, N. Y.

About 45 minutes ride from Buffalo, N. Y, along the south shore of Lake Erie, lies the pretty little town of Silver Creek, N. Y., consisting of about 2,5OO inhabitants, the exact distance from Buff falo being g miles. It is due West and is a component part of Chautauqua county in which the number of demo- cratic voters is SO few that it is com monly said that game of pinochle is out of the question III the ranks of that party.
 The residents of this town are thrifty we'll behaved law abiding citizens The town is what may be termed a clean wholesome place in which to live and one makes no mistake in saying it is a pretty place i'll every way.
 Some years ago, it IS related, a theatri- cal troupe announced its intention of giving a performance there. The usual advance notice was made by hanging posters, Autographs, etc, in windows of the stores and shops on the main street A barber was given free pass to see the show for permitting several of these posters to be on display in his shop. The night of the performance arrived. The opera house was crowded to its doors the audience including our friend, the barber.
 Presently the performance began. It had not proceeded very far before those who had made up the audience became restless and there was great whispering and murmuring among them. As the show progressed they became more rest less and louder in their conversations with each other. Soon their protests against the poor quality of the show was manifested by misses and cat calls. As the performance continued their shouts became louder and the protest against the poor quality of the erform- ance was plain to all who were in the theater.
 But, during all this, there sat our friend, the barber. who entered on a free pass. mute, without word. A man sitting beside him said, "See here, my friend, this is the punleest show that ever came to this town. Everybody is dis satisfied and protesting against it with misses and cat calls and you are sitting here mute" The barber, answering him, said, "I realize that this show is bad and is, as you say, the worst that ever came to this town and believe that you and the rest of the people are jus tihed in your loud protest against it. and ] also admit that my silence calls for some explanation on my part. The fact of the matter IS that 1 am in here on a pass which, in my opinion, does not jus tify me in criticising the show, but, I promise you, if 1t gets any worse l will gos out to the box office and buy a ticket and when I return you will hear me pro- test against the rottenneSs of this show. v

Cincinnati, O., June 3o,-Labor's $ program for constitutional amend ment and for legislation to secure the rights of the people against judicial usurpation was laid before the con vention by the specail committee ap- pointed for that purpose and was adopted by the convention after near ly full day of instructive oratory. The program calls for a constitu- tional amendment on child labor, a constitutional amendment to curb the power of courts, an amendment to safeguard the right to organize and an amendment to make the conStitu- ton easier of amendment. In addi- tion a program for immediate legis- lation is provided.
 The complete report of the com mittee, one of labor's great, historic documents, is as follows:
 Report of Special Committee.
 The American people are facing a critical situation. Their very exist ence as a democracy and a govern ment of law is at stake. A judicial oligarchy IS threatening to set itself up above the elected legislatures, above the people themselves.
 Profiting by the unsettled indus trial conditions of the country and the political apathy of the people, which have followed upon the conclusion of the world war the forces of privilege and reaction have embarked upon a concerted and determined campaign to deprive the citizens of their con- stitutional liberties, to break down the standards of life which the Amer jean workers have laboriously built up in generations of suffering and struggle, and to emasculate or de- stroy their most effective weapon of resistance and defense-the labor unions.
 Side by side with the implacable anti-union drive conducted by power full organizations of employers throughout the country, who exer- else their own unQuestioned right to organize and yet brazenly deny their employees the same right, the un- blushing subservience of many public officials to the dictates of big busi- ness and their undisguised contempt for the interests of the workers, the courts of the country, and particular iy, the Supreme Court of the United States, have within recent years un- dertaken to deprive American labor of fundamental rights and liberties which heretofore have been accepted as deeply and organically ingrained in our system of jurisprudence.
 Over century ago Thomas Jeffer- son said:
 "It has long been my opirfGon, and I have never shrunk from it's expres- sion, that the germ of dissolution of our Federal government is in the judiciary-the irresponsible body working like gravity, by day and by night gaining little today and gain ing little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like thief oyer the

"It is unquestionable that teachers have no right to impose their per sonal views on pupils. But it is neces- sary in some quarters to emphasize that neither do school authorities have that right And it is further necessary to ask this convention to endorse with all it's power the princi- pie that men and women in becoming teachers do not thereby surrender their rights as American citizens, and that inquisitions by school authorities into the personal religious, political and economic views of teachers is in tolerable in free country, strike al the very basis of our public schoo system, and can result only in the development of mental and mora servility, and the qualification o teachers and pupils alike"
