EDUCATIONAL PROBE BY FEDERATION
 SHOWS UP CONDITIONS THAT WILL
 STARTLE THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES

nent progressive educators are sight ed in support of these findings, hav- ing been secured by special inquiry.
 This section also reveals that the extent to which these studies are be- ing taught which properly deal with the labor movement is entirely in adequate. Progress, however, has been made in recent years .in the eN- tension of the social sciences in our public schools. Nevertheless very much still must be done. In fact the whole public educational system if the ideals of humanity as expressed by the labor movement are to re- ccive adequate consideration in public education, will require reconstruction around the social studies.
 "Part III deals with the importance of the text book in teaching the SOC ial studies. It describes the basis upon which the tests were formu- lated by means of which the text books covered in this report were evaluated. The summary of these evaluations are then presented to- criticisms of the texts scrutinized. In all, 123 text books, AZ histories, 47 civics, 25 economics, and four soci-

Still a larger proportion GO per cen) recog- nized to a greater or less degree the power for growth in our institutions are dynamic rather than static in their method of treatment. In dealing with questions of particular interest to la bor there is a great divergence in concept as well as in method of treat ment The older formal texts either omit these subjects entirely or treat them SO unsatisfactorily that for all practical purposes they might just as we'll be omitted Some of the more modern ones deal with them briefly and perfunctorily, but on the whole the newer type of text does attempt to give the labor movement in the problem of industry adequate and just consideration. Failure to do so is apparently due to ignorance of the author or to a hesitancy to deal with this difficult subject, rather than to deliberate attempt to keep the facts of industry out of the schools. AL leading statements, misplaced empha- sis, diSCriminatiOns against unions and use of obsolete material may nc pointed out, the survey finds no evi- dence that text books are being used

LABOR BOARD TAKES UP GRIEVANCES OF
 TRAIN SERVICE MEN
Disputes of Long Standing Over Rules Are Now to Be Con-
 sidered.

Cleveland, June 3o.-The United States Railroad Labor Board, through it's bureau No. 3, consisting of spe- cially appointed examiners, has taken up the consideration of grievances arising on more than POO railroads throughout the country which the general committees of adjustment and the executives of these roads have been unable to adjudicate. These hearings, which were previously set for the first of May, were postponed at the instance of the engine service brotherhoods because they conhicted with the triennial convention of the Bremen, which would have made it impossible for executive officers of the brotherhood to attend their con vention.
 No definite date has yet been set by working rules of engine service em- ployes, which were also set for the first of May and then deferred until after the Houston convention at the request of the Engineers and Fire men.
 The official statement of the board received six weeks ago announced that these important hearings were Indefinitely postponed,' and no furth- CT advice has been received about them by either Grand Chief Warlren s. Stone of the Engineers or Presi- dent D. R. Robertson of the Firemen
 According to the ruling of the board on October 27, 1921, at the time of the potential strike of last fall, the claims of the carriers for wage reduc- tions will not be heard by the board until all questions concerning work ing rules have been settled. Since the hearing on working rules will doubtless cover an extended period, there is no probability of imposing a wage slash on engine service em- ployes in the near future similar to that recently suffered by maintenance of way and shop craft workers.

WARNING SOUNDED OF FUEL FAMINE BY
 LEADER OF MINERS
Lewis Says Shortage of Unparalleled Intensity Now Faces
 Nation.

The nation today faces a ''coal shortage of unparalleled intensity" Only the summer weather Is keeping the public from realizing the peril of the situation.
 This warning is sounded by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, who points to the diminishing supply of fuel above ground as reason for an immediate conference of workers and operators looking to the ending of the coal strike, now in its I2th week
 There are cropping out from vari- ous sections unidentified rumors to the effect that the strike will be set tied by July I. If there IS any basis for these predictions 1t is not appar- ent on the surface. The officials of the miners union have made no an nouncements since they rejected an overture from the anthracite operat- ors that they accept 2I per cent re- duction in wages and subject other questions at issue to arbitration be- fore a commission to be named by President Harding.
 The officials of the administration are equally reticent. For the moment Secretary Hoover seems to be devot- ing all his energy to keeping prices from going out of sight. He admits that, while many operators are try ing to keep down to the war prices fixed by him, others are getting the last possible penny out of the strin- gency.
 An appeal has been made to Presi- dent Harding for intervention in tine strike by a joint committee of the commission on the church and social service of the Federal Council of Churches in Christ, the department of social action of the National Catholic Welfare Council, and the social jus tice commissoin of the Central Con- ference of American Rabbis, repre- senting practically the entire religious community of the country
 The significance of this appeal IS that it represents the first instance where these various religious organ izations have combined for a common purpose.
 The strike is termed a national calamity, and President Harding is urged to invite Congress to form commission to determine the facts of the controversy, that an intelligent opinion may be formed by the public.

Serious Threat Menac-
 ing Public System in
 False Propaganda in Text Books in Schools.
(SneCial to The 1 L-ahOr News ]

NCptCldl lO l lie l-dDOl NCWS.J J
 Cincinnati, O., June 3o.-Comple- ton of the American Federation of Labor survey of text books and social studies was announced in the fedora ton convention by the committee on education in its report, which was adopted by unanimous vote. The sur vey was made by o. $. Beyer, jr., and is exhaustive and national in scope.
 Extra educational activities con ducted by organizations of employers are branded as threatening to the na- tion's public education system. Wide distribution of the report, which when made public in text will doubtless create a sensation in education circles, was authorized. The committee pre- sented to the convention a summary of the contents of the report, without, however, revealing the text in any particular.
 "Part one of the report" says the committee, "reveals that a serious threat is menacing our public educa- ton system, which however is not working itself out so much against the means of education as the courses of study and the text books used as against the human part of our educa- tional system, namely, the great body of teachers. Responsibility tor th1S threat devolves mainly upon a group of extra educational associations, such as the National Association of Manu- lecturers, National Industrial Confer ence Board, America First" Public ity Association, and others. Their influence however is being partially enumerated by public spirited, pro gressve educational organizations Safeguards and remedies are at the disposal of the organized labor move ment individually and in cooperation with the progressive educational aSso- citations to reform the situation. This section concludes with a description of the many organizations, active Tn the field of public education endeav- bring to exert an influence upon 1t.
 Part II brings o,ft the, true sig nihcance of the social studies in rela- ton to the history, achievements, aims and ideals of the labor move ment It emphasizes, based upon scientific data, the place of the labor movement in the social sciences. Its great significance in modern society is thus clearly established. The opin- ions and judgments of our most emi-

for propaganda purposes. The pub fishers, the report considers, are un- doubtedly deserving of great deal of credit for keeping school books free from propaganda, and to this spirit of fair play and desire for truth it considers that the organized labor movement may look for help in the correction of erroneous, misleading or unfair statements which mar the pages of otherwise excellent texts.
 "Concerning the text books in use the report points out that not only is an increasing supply of the better books becoming available but there is also a steadily increasing demand for them. The investigation made also reveals the fact that especially in civics and history the modern or more approved text is being used to larg- CT extent than the less satisfactory.
 "Subjects discussed or investigated in supplementary courses of study such as Current Events, the report in to problems and matters of special interest to labor.
 "The report closes with a valuable summary of conclusions and with specific recommendations. Your committee recommends that the con- vention authorize the permanent Committee on Education and the Ex- ecutive Council to make such use of the report, and to take such action, as in their judgment will most effec- lively contribute to educational pro- gTeSS.

ICELAND ID BUY
 SPANISHL|QUORS
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald,
 BOO DMVids0n RuiIdina

800 Davidson Building.
 Washington, April 2S.-tSpeclaD- When it became question of the sai- vatlon of the soul or the preserva- tion of the body. Iceland decided in favor of the latter. It repealed pro hibition in order that it might sell fish to Spain.
 There is intense satisfaction in Washington that the controversy be- tween Iceland and Spain was settled before the Anti-Saloon League of America could induce the United States to assume "entangling al liances," if not actually to saeri- flee it's sons on the field of battle. When it became known that Spain declined to buy Iceland's fish be- cause Iceland no longer could buy the wine of Spain, the Anti Saloon League resolved that the United States through the state department should take a hand in the game. Se- cretary Hughes ignored the resoiu- tion.
 Senator Wesley L. Jones of Wash ington. arden prohibitionist, was so inflamed by the attitude of Spain. that he introduced a resolution in the Senate criticising Spain, and di- recting the state department b coerce Spain into an abandonment of it's domestic and foreign policies. But the Senate ignored the resolution.
 For Spain, it is claimed that 1t was not interested in Iceland or prohi5i- tion. It found 1t inadvisable to go to Iceland for fish which it could secure nearby when Icesand had ne power to buy the product of Spain. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the anti-saloon league, however. sees no justice in the attitude of Spain. He issues a statement today in which the following appears:
 This incident shows what a nation dominated by liquor will do in order
