MACON. Ga, Dec. 12.-Dr. Rufus
w. Weaver, president of Mercer uni
versity, told the delegates to the
Georgia Baptist convention last
night that he was interested in the

He deplored the fact that only one
student out of 200 finishes college.
Thirty per cent of the population of
the country lives in the south, he
said, and So per cent of all the chill
dren of school ages in the country
live in the south, and three-f ourths
of all children in schools in the
south. he said. are in the first three
grades.

problem facing the Georgia Baptist

state be given the opportunities to
which they are entitled"
DR.. Weaver declared that there
should be an equalization board in
distributing the $4,25O,O00 annually
paid on state public schools.
The equalization board should
give the poor counties on condition
that the poor counties raise an equal
amount by taxation" he said.

OCTOBER SHIPMENTS
OF LUMBER LARGE

According to figures complied by
the Twin Harbor Stevedore company,
a new monthly record for this year for
lumber shipments from Grays Harbor
by water was established during Octo-
Der when SS,S1s,242 feet of lumber
was carried from this port in So ships,
an increase of 3,592,143 feet over the
month of May when 1927 ,O90 feet of
lumber was shipped by water which
established record at that time.
Approximately half of the October
shipments were consigned to Cali
fornia ports, the balance to eastern
and foreign ports. 1t is expected that
the November shipments will reach
the 10O,OO0,00O mark as shipments are
much heavier now than they were in
the beginning of the past month.

TACOMA UNIONS TO
ESTABLISH BANK

Steps, it is understood, are being ta-
ken by railroad organizations in Ia
coma to secure the cooperation of
other unions in the establishment of
a labor bank there following the ex-
ample of Spokane and a number of
other cities throughout the country.
The promoters of the project declare
that conditions are ideal in Tacoma
Only three banks in a city of that
size-a large union population-quite
a demand among businessmen for
greater banking facilities through an
increase in the number of banks
the support of the great railroad broth
erhoods for such a project and the CO.
operation, advice and instructions of
those officials who successfully estab-
lished labor banks elsewhere. Are all
mentioned by the promoters as factors
which will make the work of estab-
fishing a labor bank in Tacoma rela-
lively simple and easy. The Labor
Advocate states that preliminaries are
now being worked out

WAGES IN MINING
INDUSTRY OF STATE

How low wages In one section
hurt the workers in other sec
tions is we'll illustrated by the
bituminous mining situation in
the state of Washington. Here
the mining industry is suffering
from the competition of coal
mined by Oriental labor in Van
couver Island at wage scale of
an average of at least 50 a day
under the Washington wages.
- The coal mined by non-union-
lied Oriental workmen is hauled
10 miles by water transporta-
ton into Washington at the same
freight rate operators in the state
pay for 30-mile haul by rail into
Seattle. AS a result, soft coal
mining in Washington is depress-
ed and the miners suffer.
The only sure safeguard of the
workers from low wages is or
ganization in every part of the
world. To paraphrase a famous
slogan: Workers of the world,
unite! You have a world of good
wages to gain and nothing to lose
but low pay"

KENNEDY IS FRIEND

Farmer-Labor Party Head Defends
Communism in Frank Statement

John C. Kenney, executive secretary
Of the Farmer-Labor party in Wash
ington, came out openly IN defense of
communism in an address delivered
recently before the open forum of the
Seattle Labor College, that was re-
freshinGly frank. The Seattle Union
Record of October 10Th quotes Mr..
Kennedy as follows:
Communism in Seattle and Amer
lea generally wants to aid In building
up the present trades union movement
in order that militant working class,
thoroughly organized, will be in a po-
sition to seize the reins of power when
capitalism totters."
The trades unionists of the nation
are thoroughly familiar with the de-
structive revolutionary purposes of
the communists an their demoralizing
boring from within" policy, and, Of
course, will not be misled in the
slightest by any camouflaged defini-
tion of its real purpose, but, on the
other hand, will welcome this frank
attempt at its defense by Mr.. Ken
nedy-a frankness that is refreshing
ly commendable.

nounces that he will endeavor to Sc
cure legislation in the next congress

New President.
1--WE are mindful of the fact" the
resolution says, that the conventions
of the Mexican Federation of Labor
and the American Federation of Labor
will be held simultaneously at Ciudad
Jaurez, Mex, and Ell Paso, Texas, and
that these conventions will adjourn
on or about the last of November,
1924, thus making it possible for rep
resentatiyes of these organizations to
be present in the City of Mexico on
the dates suggested.
1--WE are further mindful Of the fact
that on Dec. the inc coming president
of Mexico will be inaugurated. We
have every reason to believe and We
sincerely hope, that Gen. Plutarco
Elias Gales will be the incoming pres
ident to be inaugurated at that time,
and we believe it most fitting that
representatives Of labor from all Pan
American nations should be present
in Mexico City to rejoice with the
workers of Mexico at a time which
promises so much for their future.
WE have neither the right nor the
desire to interfere in the purely in
ternal political affairs of any coun-
try, but we cannot refrain from ex-
pressing deep satisfaction at the pros
pect of seeing devoted friend of
labor, justice, freedom and democracy y
elected President of one of the great
republics Of the western hemi-
sphre."
1t was further announced that 1t is
the intention to adjourn the conven-
tion in Mexico City and reeonvene in
Guatemala for the concluding ses-
sions, If political conditions in Guat-
emala at that time permit of such a
course.

week with A. R. Long, head of the
Long Bell Company, and builder of
the town of Longview, Washington.
Mr.. Morris, general manager at

also attended the conference.
The Mexican labor problem, over
which a congressional investigation
has been started by Congressman AL
bert johnson at the solicitation of the
Washington State Federation of La
Dor, was discussed at length. Mr..
Long explained that it had not been
the intention of his company to inn
port Mexican labor for permanent
work, and that they had been brought
in temporarily for. sewer digging and
other emergency work, for which
there was an insufficient supply of
common white labor; and to hurried
ly complete jobs that had to- be fin
ished before the rainy season started
in. He explained that his company
had discontinued the importation of
this class of labor, and half of those
formerly employed had already left
town, and that as rapidly IS those
remaing were through, their places
would be taken by white labor, at the

by the Venezuelan authorities and
that conditions in general were in
tolerable and tyrannical 1t was re-
solved that the Pan-American Fedora
tion of Labor should join its protest
with the protest of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, in the most vigorous
possible manner
There also was a discussion of
questions involving American workers
in Mexico where Mexican workers
were said to be deprived of work to
which they are entitled under Mexi-
can law. Amicable adjustment of the
situations complained of is in pros
pect.
On a number of important ques-
tions understandings were arrived at
through explanation and discussion
and the relations between the Amer
lean and Mexican trade union move
ments are closer and more harmoni-
GUS than ever before.
Dsieostes Guests.
The two conventions, to be held on
opposite sides of the Rio Grande next
year, will still further develop uner-
standing and cooperation.
1t has been decided that the Mexi-
can Federation of Labor delegates
will on one day be the guests of the
American Federation of Labor and sit
In its convention, while on another
day the American delegates will sit
as guests in the Mexican convention.
The joint conventions will consti-
tute the biggest labor event In Amer
lean labor history. There will be in
the two conventions more than 1900
delegates, and perhaps $500 delegates
and visitors In addition to the repre-
sentatives of the United States and
Mexico there will be delegates from
Great Brotain and Canada and perhaps
observers from other countries.
The official call for the Pan-Amer-
lean Federation of Labor convention,
to be held in Mexico City viii be is
sued from Washington within a few
days, fixing definite date of meeting.
The convention probably will open on
the first Monday after Dec /, 1924.
