BEWARE FAKE CIVIL SERVICE SCHOOLS"
U. S. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
Washington, d. C.

Attention, Advertising Manager:
Many so-called civil service schools
deceive the public through their ad-
vertising.
Some of them seek to give. and do
give, the impression that they have
governmental connection or have Gin
side" information regarding examina-
ton questions.
This commission receives numerous
letters from disappointed students"
who demand of the commission the re-
turn of money paid for tuition"
No school can furnish civil service
information of value which can not
be obtained without cost from the
commissions or its representative at
the post office or customhouse in any
of approximately $500 cities.
No school can guarantee" ap-
pointment in the classified civil serv-
ice of the United States.
No school should be permitted to
place advertisements in "help want
ed" columns which seem to offer en-
ployment, but in fact are intended to
enroll clients for coaching courses.
No school should be permitted to
use advertising which holds out undue
prospect of appointment or promotion
in the government service, or which
gives misleading information regard
ing civil service examination dates.
Mr.. E. l. Mckinley, deputy labor
commissioner of Arkansas, has inves-
tigated schools of this class and
authorizes the statement that he has
concluded that the majority of them
come as near being flakes" as the
postal laws permit.
The commission urges that adver-
tising managers, as a public service,
carefully scrutinize all advertising
copy presented by so-called civil serv-
ice schools or by advertising agencies
for such schools.
Doubtful copy may be submitted to
this commission for it's opinion.

CLAIM JURY TRIAL
NOT ABSOLUTE RIGHT

Trenton, n J.-In upholding sew
eral convictions for violations Of the
New Jersey child labor law, the state
supreme court has ruled that trial
by jury is not an absolute right. The
defendants attacked the convictions
because they had not been tried by
jury.
Trial by jury" said the court, ''un-
der our constitution is not an absolute
right of defendant in all eases. The
rule is settled beyond cavil that it is
guaranteed only in those cases where
it exists at common law. The reason
ing underlying this settled rule of law,
as we'll as the cases in this state sup
porting it, are cited in the cases in
volving the constitutionality of the
prohibition act and need not be spe-
cifically enumerated here"

JAPAN'S BIG BIZ
STAGE HOAX
Japanese People Not Insult
ed By New u. S. Immi-
grafton Law

Washington. Japan's national
honor is not insulted because of the
new immigration law passed by con-
gress.
Associated Press cables from Toxic
state that the national-honor cam
paign was staged by business men
for the purpose of boycotting Ameri-
can business men out of Japan.
The American people have been
told that Japan was deeply offended
when congress elected to dispense
with Japan's aid in enforcing our i'm
migration laws. Many Americans be-
lieved the stories that came out of
Japan, and these elements urged con-
gress to surrender it's jurisdiction over
immigration and permit settlement
by secret diplomacy. Congress refus-
ed to waive it's right, even though
Japan claimed to be "insulted."
The japanese ambassador to Wash
lngton famed the flames by publicly
stating if the japanese were barred,
as proposed, "gravev consequences"
would result.
Now the people are informed that
the whole thing is gigantic hoax
staged by big business in Japan. The
Associated Press cables from Toxic
state:
More sordid motives than those of
patriotism are backing the anti
American agitation which has follow
ed enactment in the United States
of an immigration law barring Japan
ese, in the opinion of government off
cials and business men here
According to statements made to
them today, the agitation is being
supported by certain Japanese busi-
ness men and manufacturers who de-
sire to eliminate foreign competition
and who have seized the situation ere
ated by passage of the exclusion pro-
vision as means to that end"

HOLLAND FURNACE
Declared Unfair to Molders' Un0n-COmpany Refuses
To Change It's Open Shop Policy-Internationa
Issues Statement

Shortly afterwards an effort was
made to organize the molders in Hol-
land, Mich Some progress was
made, but before it was possible to
organize local union a number of
the employees of the Holland Furnace
Company, whose actions must have
been known by the firm, applied
strong arm methods to prevent fur
ther organizing. Our organizer was
mobbed and practically driven from
the city. One of the newly initiated
members had his house surrounded
and was compelled to load shot gun
and inform those outside that any
effort to force an entrance into the
home would be met with resistance
on his part. Another newly initiated
member was assaulted on the main
street of Holland in the presence of
a policeman. The officer, instead of
arresting his assailant, offered to
give the assaulted member protection
until he reached home.
A number of Holland Furnace
Company employees endeavored to To-

been doing active organizing work,

NATL VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
New York City
Attention, Advertising Manager:

Attention, Advertising Manager:
Advertising of so-called civil serv-
ice schools continues to appear in the
"help wanted" columns of daily news
papers and of periodicals of every
description.
1t does not belong under this
classification.
The confusion and misconception
occasioned by the misleading position
of the copy has been augmented by
deceptive claims and statements
which have appeared lherein. The
deception borders upon and merges
into fraud, and the larger the cir
culation of the advertising medium,
the greater the fraud
For the past three years the ma
tional vigilance committee has en-
deavored to eliminate, or at least to
curtail, this insidious practice which
has been steadily undermining public
confidence in advertising. Bulletins
have been issued, and the committee
has co-operated in every possible way
with the United States civil service
commission in an attempt to stamp
out the deception. Fraud orders, re-
sulting from the interest and activity
of postal authorities, have put a
definite stop to the operations of the
most fragrant offenders.
These schools are so numerous and
scattered that the task of whipping
them into line, and keeping them
there, is all but impossible without the
full cooperation of the advertising
mediums in which their copy appears.
Advertising managers can, through
carefully checking claims made by
this type of school, and placing the
accepted copy under it's proper classi-
fication, protect their readers against
deception, disappointment and finan-
cial loss.

International MOlders' Union of North
America

Cincinnati, o., May Is, 1924.
To the Members of the American
Trade Union Movement, Greeting:
Brothers:
The active hostility of the Holland
Furnace Company toward the Inter
national Molders' Union of North
America and its members, has made it
advisable that we should place before
you the reasons which have compell-
ed our organization to realize that
it is the Holland Furnace Company's
purpose to prevent any trade union
organization in their foundries.
After organization. among the
molders at the Holland Furnace Com
pany's foundry in Cedar Rapids, Ia,
the .molders made modest request,
asking for the same hours of labor
and the same shop rules as existed in
union foundries making similar work,
and leaving the question of wages to
be taken up between the molders in
tne IOuHQry ana Une Hrln. lnlS re-
quest met with immediate opposi-
ton, and when officers of the Molders'
Union endeavored to interview the
firm at the home plant in Holland,
Mich, they were denied even an inter-
view. AS a result our members in
Cedar Rapids went on strike and i'm
mediately found themselves the vic
tins of the usual type of injunction
which was intended to prevent them
from doing anything which would ade-
quately protect their interests.
