that Abbeville workmen are not to

the Board requested the Contractor
to give preference to all local work
men so long as they could do the
work satisfactory as called for in
plans and specifications.

TO Be UP TO DATE
Schools Must Meet Changed
Conditions

Washington.-"Ch social and
industrial conditions demand changes
in the Schools" says the United
States bureau of education in sur
vey of Elizabeth City, N. c., schools.
''Fifty years ago the environment
OF the average boy and girl furnished
an education in whole some activities
that developed intelligence, initiative
and Industrious habits But during
the past half century has come the
growth of the modern city, until now
half the population of the country is
concentrated in cities, and the city
with its overcrowding, its mills and
factories, and office buildings, which
gradually grow up on the vacant lots,
is depriving children of the opportun-
ity for the healthy, wholesome work
and play which are essential elements
in their education.
'The city home, whether in large
or small city, is very unlike the farm
with its many necessities for learn
ing by doing 1t offers great educa-
tional opportunities in the way of
healthful work which develops the
ability to think by attacking problems
to be solved There is no planting
or harvesting to be done; few if any
animals to be taken care of, and it is
a rare city home that has a workshop
or laboratory. Yet, children until re-
Gently have received much of their
education through the opportunity to
handle tools, to take care of animals
and to experiment in making and US
ing things. But the city not only
fails to educate children in the right
direction; it educates them in the
wrong direction, for the street, with
its dangers to the physical ard moral
| life of the children too often becomes
their only playground. And street
plays mean education not in health
and strength and wholesome living,
but precocious education in all the
vicious side of city's life.
For these reasons, it has come to
be recognized that the city school
must not only supply the opportunity
for study in good class rooms under
wholesome conditions, but it must also
return to the children the opportunity
for the helpful work and play which
the home can no longer supply"

TEXTILE BARONS
Practically Own Rhode Is
land Through State
Senate Control

Providence, R. I-The present strike
of textile workers is both a protest
against wage reductions and the feu-
dalism of mill owners in this state.
Rhode Island is owned by the tex
tile interests through their control of
the state senate. This body is com
posed of one senator from every city
and town without regard to popula-
ton. The senate can be controlled
by 20 members who represent less
than 8 per cent of the population. The
senate can elect substitutes in place
of the governors nominees for certain
stat offices. If the senate does not
like the governors nomination for
state commissioner of labor it can
elect one. The same is true Of factory
inspector, and of every other law and
administrator of law that has the re-
motest bearing on the textile indus
try.
The state labor board is appointed
through the grace of the senate This
board appoints the board of mediation
and conciliation One writer in a New
York newspaper recently summed up
the textile strike thusly:
"The Rhode Island textile industry
has no money to pay its workers a
standard wage, but it has money to
buy the elections in 20 or more Rhode
Island towns and to maintain a costly
political machine which corrupts the
voters in the small representative dis
tricts into which the cities are divided.
The whole spirit of the governing class
in Rhode Island is the spirit of autoc-
racy and it manifests itself in an
emphatic manner in the textile strike
and in a multitude of instances incon-
spicuous in themselves"

WOULD DILUTE
UNIONS

Manchester, England.-The central
bodies of several English cities and
towns are at skies and sevens because
of the attempt to alter their consti-
tuition and admit members of the labor
party and others who may or may not
be trade unionists. In Rochdale the
feeling has reached a high point
Trade unionists resent the fippant
declarations of alleged intellectuals
that the central bodies 'need ginger
ing up" and that they "have outlived
their usefulness"
"Organized labor" says the Cotton
Factory Times, still has its duties,
and the trades councils, pure and sim
pie, are still necessary, as distinct
from labor party of varied elements.
"Fire-eating, self-constituted lead
ers' of the labor movement keep crop
ping up here and there with their su-
periority and sneers at the bona fide
representatives in and out of parlia-
ment
"As the trade councils are present
constituted they can keep the bogus
labor men outside; with the proposed
amalgamation any man who can get
d card of membership of the so-called
Tabor societies may come in and help
to rule or ruin our union policies"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-03-17

capitalist and the scheming politician;
the other gang say we are marching
headlong to anarchy and destruction
Under the guise of soldiers and sail
ors' organizations, empire leagues,
comrades of the war, ETC., the work
ers are being primed and poisoned
against even a sane labor movement;
and the communists and ex-pro-Ger-
mans are doing their best to demoral-
ize the unemployed. The unemployed
committees, in many, cases, are now
mere puppets in the hands of adven-
turers ever on the lookout for turmoil
and discomfort, with possibly few
well-paid jobs with little work as an
outcome.
CAS- a result of this many unem-
ployed committees have alienated the
practical support of trades councils
and other bona-flde bodies of organ
lied labor There can only be one
course in such circumstances. Our
trade unionists are still the over
whelming force in the labor world,
despite lot of oud-mouthed rene
gades' and outsiders pretensions. If
our officials and members will reso-
lutely set their faces against these
people we may go forward to the COM
ing fight with some confidence. But
| if labor is to be the shuttlecock of all
the paid agitators, job-seekers, politi-
call jerry-manderers, and unscrupu-
lous party leaders, then it is poor
| lookout at the next election"

CONGRESS CALLOUS
Unemployment Grows, Yet
Lawmakers Kill Bill to
Remedy Situation

New York. - Unemployment grows
and congress indicates its callous in
difference by defeating the KENYON
unemployment bill, says Max D. Dan
ish, managing editor of Justice, of
fetal magazine of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union.
I'm one church unemployment bu-
reau in New York city $500 ex-ser-
vice men registered since last Sep
tember, are still out of work. and
the effort to reindustrialize the former
soldiers is not making any progress, !"
says the labor editor.
And in the light of these stag
gering facts comes the announcement
from Washington that the Kenyon
unemployment bill has been killed in
the senate, after an amendment had
been adopted which practically de-
stroyed the measure 1t will be re-
membered that the provisions of the
Kenyon bill were drafted from recon-
mendations of the much -heralded
Harding conference on unemployment.
These provisions were designed to
make possible long range planning of
all public works. The amendment
which emasculated it exempted from
the bill all river and harbor develop
inents, flood and expenditures on irri-
cation projects, after which it was
sent back to the committee on labor
to die a peaceful death.
I'VE never expected much from the
conference. Neverthe-
less, even skeptics had thought that
the Kenyon bill, which intended to re-
lease considerable funds for the con-
struction of public works in slack
times, would be adopted in an effort
to afford some relief to the millions
Of destitute unemployed The heart
less slaughter of the Kenyon bill is
but an additional index of the utter
of and brutal indifference
which the present congress has main
aimed right along towards the idle
masses of the country"
