More Than 100 Apprentices In the
Government Printing once

Under the present administration
OF George N. Carter U. S. Public
Printer, over one hundred healthy
young Americans have been put to
work in Uncle Sans big print shop
to serve an apprenticeship of four
years
Several years ago, by act of con-
gress, apprenticeship in the govern
ment printing office We're abolished.
but the scarcity of craftsmen in the
various branches of the printing in
dustry caused Mr.. Carter to secure
from congress the necessary consent
for the resumption of the apprentice
system.
The task of securing the required
number of apprentices was not 50
difficult as that of securing the right
instructor. But in the person of Al
fred Calvert, however, the public
printer seems to have found the right
man for the job. Mr. Calvert is well
qualified to teach printing and has
the patience required to maintain
peace and good will among boys rang
ing in age from sixteen to nineteen
with minds alert to play the mischie-
vous pranks which have been a part
of the printer DEVILS curriculum
from time immemorial
A part of the course of instruction
requires the boys occasionally to do
duty in the various divisions where
journeymen are employed. The story
is that one day couple of the boys
were sent to one of the divisions to
work among the men, One of the old
guard, noticing the youthful appren-
tices at work, remarked to fellow

BRITISH LABOR'S
POLITICAL VICTORY

The British Labor Party completely
upset all political forecasts in the
Parliamentary elections of the last
month. Increasing it's membership
in the House of Commons from IA
to 191, and coming within $4,000
votes of outranking the Consecutive
Party. the Labor Party retains its
place as His Majesty's Opposition"
on which will fall the right to rule
the British Government whenever
Conservative leaderhip is rejected by
Parliment.
The victory of the Labor Party is all
the more remarkable because it was
won without money and against the
united opposition of every daily pa
per in Britain except the one labor
daily of London. 1t was defeat be-
fore moral might. Not only organ
lied labor, but liberal-minded busi-
ness and professional men supported
the Labor Party for the reasons
stated by H. G. Wells, the famous
British author:
"The Labor Party seems to me to
be the only one with the intellectual
| and moral courage to face the de-
Wasting realities of our financial situ-
ation-the only party capable of pro-
viding steady, respectable and con-
scientiously efficient government. Its
business is to conserve all that is
best in European civilization, which

MORE LIBERAL
NATIONAL BANK
LAW PROPOSED
Comptroller Of Currency in
Report Says Disparity
Must BE Removed

Washington, Dec. 1.-The claims OF
the national banking systena Of the
country for Legislative consideration
placing them on even terms with
other financial institutions were laid
before Congress today in the annual
report of Comptroller Dawes, of the
Currency.
Mr. Dawes declared that the dispar
ity between the position of national
banks and state and private banks
and other financial institutions must
be removed through more liberal
treatment Of the national institu
tions and by according them more
privileges from the government. Only
through granting them such powers
as he recommended N his report, he
believed, could they check a waning
of their influence and strength.
The Comptroller mentioned that
twice in the history of this govern
ment the national banks had proved
the vehicle for the nations wartime
fiscal operations, and that in each
