CONSERVATISM KEYNOTE.
OF AMERICAN LABOR AT
GATHERING AT PORTL AND
Former Irresponsible Tool Now Partner of Capital,
Speeches Intimate-Labor Selects Best Things
to Fight Battles With and Americanism
Is Main Weapon

the radical" influence Is dead.
1t is still to be found i'm the Logging
camp, on the waterfront, in the mills,
on shiDboard, even on the farms.
Strong for .Americanism.
Men who push the wheelbarrow or
weld the shovel may have red cards.
But if the 'wobblies" hope to gain
any foothold In the convention their
intent has not developed.
Some talk was heard a week or
so ago, that an ]. w. W. dlmonstra-
ton was to be staged before the eyes
of the federation.
1t was to have been something like
the demonstration here last spring
when the hydro electric construction
camps and the logging industry were
tied up for time by the wobblies'
"show Of strength"
But it has not appeared yet.
So one gains the impression from
this convention that labor as an or
ganized class is selecting the best
things from capital and modelling them
into tools whereby it can fight its
battles and hold what ground it has
gained.
1t has determined that Americanism
is one of the best of these implements.

The car that has been purchased
by the S. A. & A. j. will seat &c
people and is one of the newest types

Portland, Ore, Oct. 8.-Labor, the
irresponsible tool, has been metamOr-
phosed into labor, the partner of cap
ital.
Labor now manages banks and bust
ness and-handles the problems for
merly considered the divine right OF
bosses.
Labor has built up sort of aris-
blacksnake over those who would make
the toiler a traitor.
Such is the conclusion to be drawn
from speeches being delivered here
daily at the convention of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, arch-amal-
gamation of those who toll with their
hands.
1t is being preached in committee,
in the lobby outside the great conven-
ton hall, in the hotels. on the floor.
Furthermore it is openly whispered
that it is not exclusively the influ-
ence of President Con ers that has
brought this about and that il an
other than Gompers is chosen to ease
the federation through its later ira
walls, the same tendency will continue.
Radicals Held Down.
The federation is growing more con-
servative.
So far during the convention only
9J resolutions have been introduced.
Usually by the time convention
has advanced through lbs fourth day.
160 to 225 have been pied upon the
table.
The rule is that unanimous consent
must be had before resolution may
be presented after the second day of
the convention.
The organization is so thoroughly
shot through with conservatism th..t
no radical" movement, may get even
preliminary hearing, under this
rule. =
Quite n stir was caused the other
day bv a rumor that group of COM
munists had anpeared in the city tn
try to stampede the convention for
some radical action or other.
The conventions of other DAYS would
have been no more surprised by the
report II someone had said another
delegate had registered.
But the communists did not ap-
pear.
Singularly absent also is the I. w.
W. influence. .
For the most part no delegates OF
ninkish hue were even sent here by
tho locals.
If any gained election under false
colors he has not raised his voice.
Nor has the zone big union" idea
gai-ed much Roadway
Two resolutions with a's|ight ANAL
gamativp trend were introduced. one
TO hermit n further amalgamation OF
unions allied in tho same general
crafts: another to allow n worker in
one craft TO affiliate. without paving
initiatory fees in another union whose
members require identical apprentice
training.
These were presented. however. by
some of the most conservative dele
gates.
Still one must not gain the idea that

LABOR DIFFICULTIES 9.
I, SPELLING RUIN OF
! DUBLIN AS A PORT
Trade With Great Britain
in Both Directions Seri-
ously Hampered.
BY WILLIAM ii. BRAYDEN
Special Gable to The San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
rCoDVrieht 1928


Dublin, Oct. 6.-The port Of Dublin
is being killed by labor troubles.
Traffic is being diverted to Belfast,
where there already is such jam, es-
pecially of cattle for the British mark
ct, that the animals are suffering from
crowding and delays.
Discussions and meetings of the
Dublin port authorities degenerate into
wrangles between employers an labor
representatives as TO who is responsible
for the strike which now has lasted
for three months.
Trade with Great Britain in both
directions is being seriously hampered
and would have long ago ceased but
for the fact that traders, instead OF
using the services of the reguI carry
ing companies, which now really are
combined into n British shipping trust,
have chartered steamers for themselves
and arranged with the dock Workers to
pay the wage scale which the ship
ping companies have refused them.
The employers call these vessels pri-
vate ships and complain that their
policy of wage cuts have been frus-
tated by them.
But these vessels are mostly small
and will be useless when winter
weather sets in.
The free state government now is
taking hand in the dispute, Prcsi-
| dent IOSgrove having interrupted the
sittings of parliament to enable him
and the minister of commerce 10 talk
! frankly in private with representatives
of both sides.
The case of the employers is that
| they cannot afford to pay the scale
Of three times the pre-war wages when
the British and Ulster workers have
accepted reductions.
Labors case is that the cost Of liv-
ing in Dublin is kept up by rrofiteer-
| ing which is not tolerated elsewhere.
The government attempted TO deal with
the profiteers. but failed to control
the shopkeepers who, Notwithstanding
the great fall in the price Of cattle
and other products, maintain prices
at high ,evel.
The cost Of drinking is as serious
problem as the cost of food, said a
Dublin worker, who regards stout as
a necessity. He says he has 10 pay 8
pence per pint for stout manufactured
in his own city. while the same stout
is sold in MANCHESTER for pence.
The dispute has become so serious
that all business is affected and the
revenues from income tax have suf-
fered.
! Th5 government is resolved. IL il does
not secure an early agreement. TO take
drastic action on its own account.
! Unemployment has greatly increased
In recent months.
Yet reconstruction after last years
destruction must be OF such a large
scale that there should be. work for
everybody. especially as the govern
ment specified in payii. compensation
that reconstruction work must ac-
tually be carried out.
The work now is being hello up by
wage disputes.

Junior High School System
Formed to Meet Change
Needed in Educational
Program-High School
Subjects Will Be Intro
duced in Sixth and Sew
enth Grades.

Cpon the theory now thoroughly es-
tablished that the sixth grade rather
than the eighth is the natural turning
point in the life of a child, the junior
high school plan as it is now in opera
ton in San Antonio, is based, ac-
ccrding to Walter Cooking, director
of junior high school education.
The progressive spirit of San An
tonic has been exemplified, Mr.. Cock
ing believes, by the willingness OF the
voters in this independent district to
allow the school board to make a
radical reorganization of the public
school system in order that it might
conform with the ideul recognized by
thu leading educators of the country.
Although there are but 1000 junior
high schools in the United States to-
day, the need for reorganization OF
elementary and secondary education
has been recognized by eminent edu-
Gators since 1888 when President
Charles w. Eliot of Harvard Cniver-
sity questioned the expediency of hav-
ing the division line between element
AIRY and high school work fixed at the
eighth grade. The agitation started
by Mr.. Eliot in 1883 resulted in crude
attempts to reorganize the two up
per grades of elementary schools in a
number of cities. The first real junior
high school. however, was established
in Berkeley. Cal. in January, 1910.
Add New Courses.
Leading educators have agreed, Mr.
Cooking said, that the sixth and sew
enth grades must be enriched by elm
mating non-essentials and adding new
subjects formerly taught only in the
high school. They maintained that the
age of adolescence demands new
methods and wiser direction.
The definition and purpose OF a
junior high school has been given and
explained by Mr.. Cooking, as follows ::
"The junior high school is that pof-
ton of the public school system above
the fifth elementary grade and includ-
ing the sixth. seventh and eighth
grades. which is organized as a separ-
ate unit of the school system and has
a special principal and teaching staff.
"Such n school provides for depart
mental teaching. for promotion by
SUBJECT TttHcr tuuH ny sfuue, anu Ioi
a partially differentiated curriculum
which, in effect means the beginning
Of the election of studies to meet the
needs Of the individual boy or girl.
Need More Men Teachers.
"Thc new school also demands that
provision be made for pre-vocationa.
instruction. for systems of educational
advice and guidance. for supervised
student activities and for directed
study in the class room
"All of this calls for more men
teachers and for higher standards of
teaching preparation.
Although the junior high schools in
San Antonio are Handicapped by the
halliday sessions necessary because
of the incompleted building program.
supervisory officials and teachers in
the junior high school department arc
rapidly working ont the problem of re-
organization, Mr.. Cooking said. When
