Labor Urged
 to Observe
 Education Week
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 8.-The Committee on Education of the Amer ican Federation of Labor has issued a call urging observance of Education Week" which begins November Y. In a letter to central labor unions, the committee says:
 No group in society has more con- cern than labor that Education Week shall be productive of constructive re- suits. It is fitting we should partici week and we are therefore calling to your attention this opportunity for service with the following suggestions ]:
 "1 Instruct your committee on edu- cation to consult with the superinten- dent of schools and the members of your board of education, or at least with the president of the board, as to how labor may participate in the local plans. Also confer with the other ac tive educators in the city. Ask the committee to report to shls ofhce the result of this offer!
 2. Have this committee take up with the librarian of your public 1i- brary the enclosed reading list. If the library does not have on it's shelves this select list of modern interpreta tions of labor and industrial problems, ask that they be secured and thus made available to students and espe- cially to labor readers.
 "It would be additionally helpful if arrangements were made to have these volumes placed upon a special shlef and designated by card so as to be readily available.
 "Your cooperation in making labor participate in this event is essential.

VIRGIN ISLAND WORKERS
 NEED IMMEDIATE HELP,
 SAYS SANTIAGO IGLESIAS
By International Labor News Servic

By International Labor News Service. Washington, D. C., Nov. 8.-The people of the Virgin Islands are i'll need of immediate relief and unless something is done to improve economic conditions on the islands, the people living abhorrent to American ideals.
 This IS the conclusion of Santiago Ig1esias, president of the Porto Rican Federation of Labor, in making his ton of Labor
 Dry Laws Hit Island
 Mir Iglesias' conclusions are based on study of reports made by Gov ernment commission and by represent atives of the American Federation of Labor He says that the bad eco- homie conditions in the Virgin Islands, which are 40 miles east of Porto Rico, are due largely to the general policy o fthe United States in treating the islands only as an outpost >>el defense for the Panama Canal; Federal pro- hibition, which crippled the bay rum industry of the islands; serious droughts which almost eliminated crops III the last three years; and the fact that St. Thomas, one of the finest ports in the West Indies, is no longer used as a port of call by steamship lines using the Panama Canal and sailing to and from ports in South America This combination of condi- tions has created an appa1lingly large per cent of unemployment and already evidences of undernourishment are ap- parent
 For Liberal Interpretation.
 Tn speaking of the effects of prohi bitior on the Virgin Islands, Mir Iglesias quotes with approval the fol- lowing extract from the report of the Government commission, made early this year
 "Prohibition-The Virgin Islands should receive the same 1zeral inter pretation and administration of our prohibition laws that have been ex- tended to the Philippine Islands and the Panama Canal, so as to permit the retention of liquor on board ships un- der seal and the transportation and transhipment of liquor cargoes through Virgin Island ports"

EFFICIENT LABOR BIG FACTOR IN BRINGING
 FARM PROSPERITY
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Nov 8-That sound management and efficient use oi labor pay dividends in farming, as well as Tn industrial enterprise, IS empha- sized in report on a study of 100 farms i'll Clinton county, Ind, made by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 Conclusion drawn from the study in dicate that the spread of scientific knowledge of farming can do much for the agricultural regions of the nation. As national prosperity Is largely de pendent upon agricultural prosperity, economists point out that efficient farming IS of importance to every class of the population, assuring a steady buying power and stabi1izing business and employment.
 The Department of Agriculture found from it's study of Indiana farms that efficient use of man labor and horse labor was an important factor in the successful operations of farms. The study also revealed that farmers who maintained more nearly uniform cropping systems from year to year were more successful than those whose systems varied most. Heavily stocked

| There IS no need of going into sta ltistics here. Every worker knows full well what he did and what result 1t had. In New Haven, depite the drive
 thast was made against him, Congress
 man John O. Ti1son, stalwart re- actionary and errand boy of the pro- tectionists in certain classes of trade,
 was reelected by the largest majority he ever got. They are prating about l 1t all over the land now and claiming lit was to John Q.'s popularity and
 noble doings that the result was due. As matter of fact 1t was nothing of
 the kind The democrats, fighting as
 usual, waited until about three weeks
 before election before selecting a can
 didate to oppose him and then put up a
 man almost unknown to the voters of
 the district, even including a majority
 of the political heelers and therefore
 Ti1son had walk over. Had his op-
 ponent, Mr. Hoyt of Milford, had op-
 portunity to get about and acquaint
 himself with his constituents, MT. Til
 sons majority instead of being over whe1min would have made MT. Tilson think he was slipping. Tilson is now an avowed candidate for the place left vacant by the death of Senator Bran degee. So is Schuyler Merritt, con- gressn1an from the Fourth district, who was also reelected last Tuesday and b va higher plurality than that of Til
 son. Just like Ti1son he had as an opponent a man who had been in the background of politics and had an easy wa1kaway. Merritt is said to have the backing of the Roraback machine against Tilson and as the republicans agree they have 1t hands down any how in the special election there will be a pretty fight on to see who Is to put on the senatorial toga. There are rumors already that Hi Bingham, our governor-e1 may also try to jump in although many republicans who were in the game to make him senator after he had served as governor admit that it would be little too raw to trot him out just now. They counsel letting him wait until Setnator George P Mclean retires, as 1t IS known he wants to do, and then the Yale pro- lessor governor could step into the place with more grace and 1t must be admitted that he has a whole lot of grace about him.

 The convention will be welcomed to Fl Paso by Ma" Ferguson, who, it is state; by George H. Slater, secretary treasurer of the Texas State Fedora ton of Labor; by Mayor Dudley of Fl Paso, and other officials, as well as by William J. Moran, editor of the Fl Paso Labor Advocate.
 Afeature of this years convention will be a convention daily newspaper, edited by working newspapermen covering the convention for newspa- pers throughout the country. This newspaper will contain only conven- lion news and will contain four pages per issue.
 Many issues of great importance will be before the convention for decision and there will, of course, be the annual election of officers.
 As soon as the convention adjourns, delegates will leave for Mexico City to attend the inauguration of President elect Gales and to attend the conven- ton of the Pan American Federation of Labor, which will open in the Mex ican capital on December g. Samuel Gompers Is president of the Pan Amer ican Federation of Labor and will pre- side over its convention, as well as over the convention in Fl Paso. The convention in Mexico City will be at tended by delegates representing at least dozen American Republics
