Washington, d. c., June 29.--on
June 9th United States Senator Mich
olson Of Colorado. Conservative Re-
publican, during tariff discussion,
made one cf the ublest and most ter
rife attacks upon the United States
Steel Corporation ever delivered in
the senate, denouncing especially the
steel interests method of debating to
congress tariff rates which will make
their miIlionaires richer at the ex-
pense of the rest Of the people of the
United States.
The Steel Trust Is dishonest because

GOVERNMENT AND PRESS
UNITE FOR PURPOSE OF
REDUCING WORKERS PAY

Washington, - Wage reductions
ordered by the railroad labor board
and recent supreme court decisions
have revealed one branch of the gov
eminent and one of its important
commissions seriously endangering
the position of the working people,"
declares the department Of social ac-
ton of the national Catholic welfare
council. The department points out
that the chief efforts of the employ
ers' anti-trade union campaign have
been directed towards wage reduc-
tions and direct attempts TO weaken
the unions" and that the employer
newspapers continue to attack unit
ed labor and turn their strength In
favor of wage reductions"

Text Books.

Cincinnati, o., June 27.--Comple-
ton Of the Ameriean Federation Of
Labor survey Of text books and social
studies was announced in the fedora
ton convention here by the commit
tee on education in its report, which
was adopted by unanimous vote. The
survey was made by o. 5. Beyer, Jr.,
and is exhaustive and national In
scope.
Extra educational activities con-
Quoted by organizations of employ
ers are branded as threatening to the
nations public education system.
Wide distribution of the report, which
when made public in text will doubt
less create a sensation In education
circles, was authorized. The COM
mittee presented to the convention a
summary of the contents of the re-
port, 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 such as the
courses of study and the text books
used as against the human part of our
educational system, namely, the great
body of teachers. Responsibility for
this threat develops mainly upon. a
group of educational assocla-
tions. such as the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, National In
dustriaI Conference Board, America
First" Publicity Association, and 9TH
ers. Their influence however is being
partially counteracted by public
spirited, progressive educational or
ganizations. Safeguards and reme-
dies are at the disposal OF the organ,
lied labor movement Individually and
in cooperation with the progressive
educational associations to reform the
situation. This section concludes with
a description of the many organiza-
tions active in the field of public edu-
cation endeavoring to exert an IN
fluence upon it,

Two latter being in favor of trade re-

American Legion.

American Legicn.
! Cincinnati, O., June 27.-president
Gompers was authorized by the A. +.
of l. convention, voting unanimously,
TO attend the next convention of the
American Legion. Action came in
adopting the report of the committee
on education which says.
"four committee has read with
pleasure the report of the Executive
Council, pages 121, 122, concerning
the friendly relationship between the
American Federation of Labor and
the Amtrican Legion and noted with
qualification the harmonious co-opera-
ton on such legislative measures as
the Coolie Bill and the Sales Tax,
and the recognition afforded Presi-
dent George Berry by the Legion in
his election as viee-commander.
"Surely these two great American
organizations. having so large a men,
bership in common, should be friendly
forces, cooperating for the enrich
ment of the common life, and the de-
velopment of a high quality of en-
lightened citizenship, characterized
by breath of view, public spirit, and
tolerance. The committee shares the
belief that there should be confer
ences from time to time between the
organizations of labor and the Ameri-
can Legion in every city in which
there are Legion posts established,
for the purpose of removing any mis-
understandings that might arise"
Where the policies of the two organ
izations are at variance, as is the case
in certain important aspects of the
educational field such conferences,
local and national, may bring adjust
ment through better mutual under
standing.
"The convention has Enthusiastically
expressed its appreciation of the
sympathetic understanding which in
spired Commander MacNider's ad-
dress to this convention. In the inter-
est of the further cementing of
friendly relationship, the committee
recommends that the convention
authorize President Gompers to at
tend the next convention of the
American Legion in New Orleans next
October"
