are expected to be.
At a meeting of the executive

the early history of the galley was
discussed, and it was finally decided

matter.

the president TO work out the ideas
settled upon, told the interesting
story of the board meeting and Of

them. The students have respond

words, dealing exclusively with the
history o. its own community. There
are six union high school districts
which practically cover the entire

shall be built. The federation will
erect a monument somewhere along
| the highway from Holtville to Yuma
in memory of the first white man
/ who braved the perils of the desert,
if the name of that man can be defi-
nitcly fixed upon.
The luncheon at the Barbara
Worth following the morning session
was most delightful feature. The
main dining room of the hotel WIS
used aud 100 or more were seated ut
the long tables.
Mrs. j. W. Glassford presided at
the guest table, which was lovely in
appointment aud floral decorations.
The center of the table was adorned
with an exquisite basket of sweet
peas. The otlfer tables were like
wise adorned with pink flowers.
At the guest table were seated
the honor guest, Mrs. j. c. Urquhart,
past presidents of the federation,
the president emeritus, and the Off
GERS serving at this time.
RECONNENE IN AFTERNOON
The convention reconvened in the
afternoon, and completed its bust
ness, after which Mrs. Urquhart de
livered an address which will long
be remembered by all who heard it.
Those who had so kecnlv felt the
disappointment when il was learned
at the last minute that their below
er president. Mrs. William Fitzger
aid. was i'll and could not come, were
entirely reconciled when they heard
Mrs. Urquhart, who is almost Ger
tain to succeed Mrs. Fitzgerald as
state president in May.
The subject of Mrs. Crquhart 5
address WIS the same as the one up
on which Mrs. Fitzgerald would have
spoken: ''World Peace the Goal of
American Citizenship. -"
Before entering upon her theme,
Mrs. Urquhars paid tribute to the
Ten Thousand Club which has made
such a notable contribution to their
city in the lovely club house, aud
very beautifully expressed the hope
that out of this building will 90
forth into the community spirit of
love, service and devotion TO all that
is best in life. She is deeply spirit
ual and emphasized the thought that
II is only the spirit and its fruits
that are immortal.
"PEACE WILL COME
Mrs. Grquhart believes that uni
versal peace will come. The idea
was born of woman, she said, when
Mary gave to the world the Christ
who taught the brotherhood of man
and peace among nations during his
eventful life on earth. Those ideals
live strong i'll the hearts of men
today, and after nearly two thou
sand wears they were embodied by Il
great man in a program for world
peace which has been rejected for
the time being. because everybody
was not rady for it. The speaker
admOnished the women TO persist in
their work for the great ideal
Mrs. Crquhart spoke of the dis
armament conference of Il year ago
and of the hope that the women
of California and the world had in
it. They realized that sentiment
alone will not bring about world
peace. There must be effort-hard,
persistent effort, as well as PRAYER.
Each club in the federation must
think and talk peace and work for
Il better American citizenship, not
among foreigners alone but among
native born people as well.
The incoming Officers were intro
iuced and the convention closed
with the presentation of the report
of the resolutions committee.

sion IN Portland. Oregon. This whs
the forty-third annual session OF
American labOr's parliament. Il was
a great gathering. Il Was q great meet
ing Of labor's representatives Il dem
onstrated that trade unionism has
ideals that ara wholesome and eleyat-
ing. That It visions and plans more
than for the immediate future. That
its horizon extends beyond the work
shop ana that It represents all that is
Just in government, sound in econom-
les, clean In politics and good for the
public welfare and well-being.
The American trades union move
ment is representative OF and cham
pions the cause Of the great mass,
which has few defenders and many
oppressors. It seeks to develop a
better citizenship and a wholesome
industrial and social order. The at
titudes expressed, the policies de-
clared for, the decisions reached at
this recent session OF Amrica's La
Dor Congress, justifies the claim of
trade unionism that it exercises a
factorship for the welfare and stability
of the Republic scarcely paralleled by
any other agency. Instead OF being
reviled It should be esteemed by ev-
cry true American and be loved by
every wage Garner In the land.

BANK CLERKS WANT
FORTY-HOUR WEEK

The white collar" workers have
looked with envy for a long time up
on the wages received by the building
tradesmen and other organized crafts.
They were told to follow the same
methods whereby the other trades had
bettered their conditions. To some de-
gree this has been accomplished in
Chicago where the clerical workers
organization is making splendid pro-
gress.
Forty hours a week instead of sixty
with payment for overtime-are the
first triumphs that the union bank
clerks in Chicago are displaying be-
fore the envious eyes of their over
worked and underpaid non-union
brethren.
The Chicago Bank Employees Asso-
citation has a signed agreement with
a few banks and is negotiating AMIGA
bly, with others. Other banks are no.
ticing union ferment among their
employees. It will not be at all sur
prising to hear in the near future of
a hundred per cent organization of the
clerical workers in that city.
The union was organized in April,
1923, and holds federal charter from
the A. F. of L., procured by the aid
Of President Fitzpatrick of the Chi
cago Federation Of Labor. Bank Of

ONION MOVEMENT IS
GREAT FACTOR N
OUR AMERICAN LIFE
BY Matthew WoIl
President, International labor Press
OF America

OF America
No history Of the nineteenth CEN
fury will be complete that fails to give
due attention to the rise, influence
and power of the trades union move
msnt, synbolized by the American
Federation Of Labor.
The American Federation of Labor,
Its underlying cause and ever-inspir-
ing incentives are founded upon 9 pro-
found metamorphosis in social and
economic conditions which no man
could have foreseen a century ago.
The American Federation of Labor has
been the dominant agency through
which has been crystallized the prin-
ciple Of collective bargaining. Through
collective bargaining a philosophic
spirit of altruism has been tempered
by practical dealings and made to
serve efficiently in the solution of
problems ever arising in our indus
trial and social life.
Profit by the error OF its prede-
cessor in the field OF experimental
unionism, the Knights of Labor, which
withheld from the worker the pride
OF his craft, ignored the superior
Qualifica tions of the members Of a
given trade to determine issues pecu-
liar to their calling, and attempted to
rule by force rather than good will,
the American Federation of Labor has
pursued course which has been JUS
titled and indicated by time and
events.
In its comparatively brief span of
life the American Federation of La
Dor has bound together In a common
cause over 100000 wage earners 1t
has reared great edifice It has built
vast structure for humanizing people
and elevating life standards.
Collective Bargaining
It had the foresight Of seeing grow
ing strength and increasing power of
those in the vanguard of industrial
development, and Of realizing that
without some correlation and co-ordi-
nation of workers the vast mass at
the machines would be ground down
almost to dust.
Those who have so long oppressed
the workers have selfish and personal
reasons of their own to condemn trade
unionism. Other find fault because
of mistakes made by labor; yet all
movements and vast activities Of what
ever kind are not free from error and
fault. But the virtues and the cause
of organized workingmen are clearly
demonstrated by the larger and ever
larger acceptance by employers OF the
tenets which trade unionism original
ed and has fought for through more
than generation.
Yesterday collective bargaining was
spurned as an impossible thing. Today
1t Is fast becoming the order Of things.
The shorter workday was near-treas-
on yesterday. Today It is accepted,
even by the steel magnates, and the
whole world that It is right and
whole world knows that 1t is right
and sound economy In the human
scheme Of things.

ADVOCATES WORLD EXPERIENCE
BEFORE CONFERRING DEGREES

New York-(A. PA man should
rub shoulders against life for at least
three years after his graduation from
a technical school before an engi-
neer's degree is conferred upon him,
in the opinion of William Kelly,
prominent Michigan engineer, and
director of the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers.
In statement published by the or
ganization's official paper, Mr.. Kelly
says: Success in life is very largely
dependent upon ones relation to 9TH
er men, and a candidate for an engi-
neer's degree should show a realiza-
ton of the Importance Of his person
al relation to others"
1t is upon this postgraduate exper-
fence that the candidates thesis for a
degree should be written, according
to Mr.. Kelly, rather than the manner
now in vogue whereby the thesis is
written on knowledge acquired at
second hand.

WORK STARTED ON THE
ROGERSON-W WELLS LINE

Boise, Ida.-(A. P.)-The news that
actual work had been started on the
Rogerson-Wells railroad was received
here with many expressions of graft
fication. While southwestern Idaho
is only indirectly connected with the
development, it is felt that shorten
ing of the distance to the California
markets will also greatly benefit this
part of the state.
The earlier developments in the
RogersOn-We case were somewhat
cotemporaneous with the campaign
for the American Falls project Guy
Flenner, managing director of the
Idaho Reclamation association, which
successfully put over that undertake
ing as to it's financing, expressed him
self most emphatically and with many
evidences of pleasure over the in
auguration Of work on the cutoff.
1T means lot to all south Idaho,'
he said. During the American Falls
campaign / repeatedly pointed out
that this railroad development, with
the reservoir project, would help
solve our problems, but there were
many Doubling Thomases. They did
not believe the Union Pacific was suf-
ficiently interested in us to go to that
great expense to open up nearer mar
hets, which would deprive the COM
pany of the longer haul to the east. |
