FIVE EDUCATORS PREDICT
NEW TEACHING METHODS

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Jan. 20.
AT the third annual conference of
the Westchester County Peoples
Educational Association five educa-
tors who spoke said that the old
order of teaching is an injustice to
both child and teacher.
DIR. David Mitchell, chairman of
the committee. on education of the
Westchester County Children's So
ciety, said that less than 100000 of
the 100000 entering high school
this year would not graduate from
the eighth grade because methods
are pursued that no business man
would entertain for a moment. A
picture of a short man welding a
scythe, trying to do as much as a
tall man using the same imple-
ment, served as an argument for
his subject, Psychological Exam.

COPPER BARONS
IMPORT EXTRA
MINE WORKERS

Detroit, Mich. - Michigan trade
unionists protest against the labor
importing policy of north Michigan
copper barons. These employers ask
ed the federal department of labor
to permit them to bring miners into
the copper country.
The department of labor, it is stat
ed, quietly granted this request, and
large numbers of workers have ar
rived in the upper peninsula.
Trade unionists declare there is no
necessity for flooding the copper
country with workers who will fail to
secure employment, and who have
been imported for the one purpose of
lowering work conditions.
The local Federation of Labor has
instructed it's officials to protest
against this condition. The trades
and labor council of Sault Ste. Marie
has taken similar action, as have
other upper peninsula trade unions.

Plea for "United Front
Is Merely Moscow Ruse,
Declares J. Oudegeest

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.-Moscow's plea
for a united front" of labor is
mere ruse, declares j. Oudegeest, Sec
retary of the international Fedora
tion of Trade Unions, in statement
just received here from the fedora
tion's headquarters in Amsterdam,
Holland.
Asserting that Moscow has not al
ways stood forth as the champion of
the united 'front.'" Oudegeest says:
"The communists at first aimed at
an open cleavage of the national
trade union federations; purpose
which they accomplished in France,
where a communist federation of
trade unions now exists side by side
with the bona fide federation, to the
great prejudice of both. But in the
course of time the communists dis
covered that the West-European trade
union system was not to be easily
disrupted; and it occurred to the wise
heads of Moscow that it might be ad-
visable to adopt more subtle tactics.
Moscow experienced change of
heart. It suddenly saw the need of
united front in European labor;
| it ran up its new flag with great zeal;
and it now stands forth to the world
as the champion of unity, peace and
goodwill in the world of labor
Is Moscow sincere in its new
reed? If so, why does it leave un-
corrected the rules of the Red trade
union international In these rules,
it is stated, without possibility of
misconstruction, that the aims of the
Red trade union international are
1 to bring together the revolutionary
| class-conscious element of the trade
union movement throughout the
world; to carry on decisive strug-
; gle against the international labor
office, which is branch of the League
of Nations, and against the Tnterna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions at
Amsterdam, which is, by its policies
and tactics, the staunchest ally of
the bourgeoise"
After pointing out that Moscow's
policy has led to a split and loss of
membership among the French rail
waymen and telling of the efforts OF
the communists to obtain the upper
hand in the German trade unions
Oudegeest concludes with the follow
ing:
eve believe we have said enough
to prove that for Moscow the united
front fable is a mere ruse. For nearly
everywhere the communists are di.
