OPPOSES COURSE
IN BRICKLAYTNG

Bricklayers by public school certif-
Gates are roundly condemned by the
bricklayers' union of Denver, Colo.
Instruction in bricklaying was en-
gineered into the Denver public
schools by a local brick contractor
who is a member of the school board.
Would-be bricklavers are charged $40
for the course, so at the beginning
and $40 at the end of IL weeks, when
they get their certificates and are eX-
pected to be competent bricklayers.
The Denver bricklayers' union has
withdrawn its members from work be-

,@t.ap perfeets the organization of a
r,5eb needed committee In the Twin
Cities. r
The facilities already installed, and
,be general need of several localities
where recreation has been neglected.
The aim of the committee Is con-
templating raising funds through the
seryices of field representatives, and
10 take advantage of law which
pefmits of levying an assessment for!
reereational purposes.
II was pointed out by Mr.. Schuler
that proper recreation will solve the
preblem of taking care of delinquent
children. and thus save the state more
money in the long run than it Is posi-
bic to levy in taxation for recreational
purposes The tax levy of l 1-1Ol
mills is provided by law. but it was
pointed out that less than half this
amount would be needed to provide all
facilities necessary in the Twin Cities.
Writing in the interest of the gen
eral movement for child recreation,
Weaver Pangburn, prominent In
recreational work among children as
well as adults says:
The health and happiness of the
people of Illinois will be greatly ad
vanced if cities under 10000 popu
lation take advantage of the amend
ment to the recreation law of Illinois
passed by the state legislature at its
last session. The amended law pro-
vides that on petition of ten per cent
of the voters in cities under 10000
a vote must be had on the establish
ment of a supervised local recreation
system under a Commission. A ma
jority vote assures the establishment
Of the system.
Organized labor is intensely inter
ested in public recreation. Samuel
Gompers said in telegram to Joseph |
Lee, president of the Playground and
Recreation Association of America at
the Recreation Congress in Spring |
field, last month:
z"Cenaitions of cur time. call for
widespread extension of constructive
recreation facilities for both children
and adults. National vitality, well
balanced and happy citizenship can
be thus founded and industrial work |
ers present today hunger for larger
richer life satisfied. The greater
leisure won by them gives the COW
eted opportunity for indulging in
those activities which mould body, |
mind and spirit. Our resolutions
pledged close cooperation of organ
lied labor throughout the country in
promoting your national program of
wholesome recreation"

The expulsion of communist from
the convention of the \. +. of l.. ut
Portland has offended the intelligent
sia, sentimentaliSts, and other gushy
folk.
These elements look upon the trade
union movement as a sort of free graz
ing for every ism and will-o'-the-wisp
theory.
To them the trade union is merely
convenience. It's principal mission is
to serve as clearing house and meal
ticket for every one who bounees into
town with bundle of press notices
from the last stop. the usual attack on
the A. +. of L. and a scientific and
comprehensive program" for economic
salvation
And when the tale is unfolded to
trade unionists they are supposed to
cape in awe at the wondrous man.
The nerve of this element passeth
understanding
Take the case of the one expelled at
Portland. He openly professed his
faith in communism and his opposition
to trade unionism.
1t takes eopper-ined nerve to pub
licly announce ones dislike of an in
stitution and at the same time fight to
maintain membership in that institu-
ton that it may be wrecked.
This is the policy of revolutionists
and their hly-fingered, paper-doll lieu
tenants who howl when the unions
take drastic action against the "bor-
ers."
Organized labor is calling a halt on
having their unions made the roostiag
place for revolutionists, wobblies, and
other disguised detectives.

Friends of minimum wage legisla-

Wisconsin that a sweeping investiga-
ton Of the employment of women and
minors shows that the oft-repeated
statement that the minimum wage"
becomes he maximum wage" has
proved to be a false economic con-
elusion in as far as Wisconsin is con-
cerned, The investigation, which was
made by the State Industrial Com
mission disclosed that 43.6 per cent
OF the establishments work employees
less than eight and one-half hours
and that during the past year the
trend of wages has been upward.

UNIONS Are JUSTIFIED IN
ExPELLING COMMUNISTS

Revomtionists have no place in the
trade unions, They have nothing in
common with organized labor,
Their philosophy. their methods, and
their goal are as opposite from the
unions rs the poles.
They believe in revolution; the un-
ions in law.
They believe i'm mass strike TO i'm
augurate their revolution; the unions
in orderly procedure To improve work
ing and social conditions.
They believe in one union in an I'M
dustry, drilled and disciplined, that
government may be overthrown; the
unions work within the law, rather
than continually challenging govern
ment.
They, like all other autocrats, believe
in rulership from above; the unions be-
lieve in popular control and the widest
diffusion of democratic ideals.
They say their autoeratie rule will
end when the revolution is estab-
hshed;" the unions reply that no group
in history has ever surrendered power
voluntarily, and that worling-class
autocracy is as vicious as aristocratic
autocracy.
Their movement is distinctly politi-
cal-to overthrow the state-though
they wear thin economic veneer; the
unions are economic and are neither
political nor revolutionary.
These are outstanding differences
between the trade unionist and the
revolutionist which the latter cannot
hide by oratorical clap-trap or frenzied
appeals to passion, prejudice, and hate.

Suppose, when you picked up todays

Auto traffic accidents in 1922 killed as
many Americans as the total population of
